Why all the gloom and doom on the blog? Ah, yes, yesterday's debacle at Soldier Field. I will choose my words carefully here, as the last thing thing I need is a full mutiny on my hands -- and it's 11 versus 1. Not a fair fight.

I suppose if there's such a thing as a positive loss, this could be it. But above all else, it seems to make sense that the Bears should seek to get their identity back. They are not a gunslinging offensive juggernaut built to blow teams out. They are a grind-em-out defensive squad that wins in the trenches, along with a solid running game. Several wins against inferior teams seems to have created a false sense of offensive security with this team -- and their fans. Everyone together now -- the Bears will not win the Super Bowl behind Rex Grossman's arm. Hexy Rexy (good call Paul) -- take care of the ball, play it safe and IF and only IF there's an opportunity to air it out, then go for it. There's still a lot of football to be played, and these are lessons learned best in November, as opposed to January.

One more thing before I go... how 'bout them Colts, eh?
