What's wrong with the Bears?

I've been reading a lot of online rants about the Bears this season especially since since Sunday. Frankly I'm stunned at the amount of vitriol in some of these posts, Lovie Smith, Jerry Angelo, Bob Babich, Ron Turner, Cedrick Benson and the Bears O-Line seem to take the brunt of most of it.

The mind boggles really, the Bears were in the Super Bowl last year and 5 games into this season fans and writers are already calling to replace the head coach, the GM, the defensive and offensive coordinators. It's not like the Bears are the first Super Bowl looser to suffer from a post Super Bowl hang over, god knows it's frustrating as a fan, but it is what it is. Lovie Smith is the same head coach that got us to the Super Bowl.

Back to the original question.

The offense is clearly out of sync, ad I'm not sure there is a quick solution to that, they're not going to suddenly click and start scoring 40 points a game, but they can be good enough to score points and win games. The Minnesota game showed that.

The defense is harder to explain, but I think it's a function of the defensive scheme coupled with the rash of injuries. The Tampa two is heavily dependant on the personnel, and their trust in each other. You start pulling bits of it out and you have problems, witness last years Indy D without Bob Sanders, or the change in the Bears D after Mike Brown was injured in 06 (he didn't play long enough this year to really see a trend). Perhaps in the end this is the real weakness of the Tampa two, in an NFL where all teams have to battle injuries, it may be simply too fragile.

The Bears coaches seem to me to be shifting personnel around in a desperate attempt to find something that works. They've never really demonstrated a great ability to make gameplan adjustments, right now they have no real choice.
