I was too despondent to post after the whooping we took at the hands of Cedric Benson and the Bengals. I mean, ouch. That game hurt worse than any I remember in the last several seasons.
But the Browns are sure a remedy for whatever's ailin' ya. Wow. Do they stink or what? You want to talk about a franchise with the arrow perpetually pointing down, they are it.
And yet, if it wasn't for five takeaways by the Bear defense in that game, it could have been a much different story. Our offense sure couldn't do much. Even against the lowly Browns. And especially in the red zone.
I'm still awfully concerned about the offensive line. I was glad to see Josh Beekman replace Frank Omiygale, but Orlando Pace is still looking terrible and Chris Williams should not be on playing the right side. You need a mauler at right tackle. At best, Williams is a finesse guy. At worst, he's soft. The jury is still out.
I'd like to see the Bear yank Pace, move Williams to the left where his technique and frame are better suited to play, and insert either Kevin Shaffer, or even Omiyale (who had played exclusively tackle in his pro career until the Bears decided he was a guard) at right tackle.
We better do something. Watching that Minnesota D come after Aaron Rodgers scared me. If we can't get some better play out of that offensive line Cutler may just get killed.
