Griese starts...

Oh dear....
3 interceptions, 2 in the redzone and one run back for a TD, that's a minimum of 13 points against you...... Although the offense had its moments where it looked like it was in sync, there is no obvious improvement in sight.

All this really demonstrates though is that it's not just the quarter back that's the problem, I really dislike the play calling. The Bears just haven't attempted to stretch the field all season, I wonder if the misfiring offense is causing Ron Turner to make more conservative calls in an attempt to curb the turnovers. The result however seems to be the opposite, the short field means teams can stack the line.

The defense also collapsed in the 4th quarter, they had a lot of injuries, but I think this really comes down to the same issue we've seen all season, teams seem to make better adjustments at half time than the Bears do. They may be the victim of there own success early in the game here, why adjust what your doing when it's working, the problem is opponents are adjusting and the Bears aren't reacting and making the adjustments during the 2nd half.

I think Griese can improve but I don't think it'll be a dramatic improvement next week at Green Bay. Ron Turner needs to be much more aggressive play calling on offense, but the way the team is currently executing it might not matter.

There are still 12 games left so the season isn't over yet, but the Bears have dug themselves a pretty deep hole thus far, a loss to Green Bay next week will make it a lot deeper.
