If you are going to go with Griese, then why in the world are you throwing the ball 52 times! Just take field goals in the Red Zone, don't go pass crazy and have Griese throwing. The two Red Zone interceptions killed them. The interception that went back for the Lions TD killed them. That is 13 points they left on the field. The Bears got their rushing game going in the third quarter. Benson had 9 rushes for 45 yards and really looked good. Then he had only one attempt in the fourth quarter. The Bears were up 13-3 at the end of three quarters (Lions were on the Bears 5 to close out the third), but if they had been up 19-3 it is a totally different game. Coulda, woulda, shoulda, it doesn't matter because the Bears are 1-3. Their season is on the line this week in Green Bay. If they fall to 1-4 (4 games behind Green Bay), the division is lost and it is unlikely they will be able to make the playoffs. I still have confidence they can right the ship, but they need to prove it on the field. Play calling is what really killed them.
