How Can We Get Back to the Future? The first half of last night�s Bears � Packers game was like watching the Bears circa 2006.  The offense was shooting the team in the foot. I thought we were getting something new this season? As disappointing as it was to watch the Bears� QB Messiah through 4 interceptions and stir up the echoes of Rex Grossman, what more frustrating was seeing how little the Bears tried to run Matt Forte. We know the guy has skills. Give him the ball. I don�t want to talk about the fake punt. I know Lovie Smith took responsibility for that asinine play, but I really hope � as the yammering heads in the NBC play-byplay booth hypothesized � that the decision to direct snap the ball to Garrett Wolfe was made by a player on the field. That sort of problem can be easily fixed. Tell the player to not think when on the field, just do what you�re told. If it was a coach who made the decision to fake a punt when it�s 4th and 11 and you're on your own 30 yard line nursing a slim lead where both defenses had been playing well, then the Bears have a lot more problems than Cutler�s 4 interceptions. Hopefully next week the Bears can get back the future they were promising us all this offseason when Cutler came to town. But with the Pittsburgh Steelers as the opponent I am a bit skeptical right now. Oh, and Notre Dame � it�s great that Jimmy Clausen can throw over 300 yards without an INT and Armando Allen can rush for almost 140, but if you don�t play defense and stop the other team from scoring than it really doesn�t matter.
