The one thing that ticked me off about this game was not only thoe offense but the offensive coordinators as well. They are so uncreative for offense when something hasn't worked, they won't make changes. I feared that would happen even though I was wanting the Bears to win. It sucks because they didn't lose for lack of talent, they lost for lack of execution. There were so many times Rex could've run the ball but didn't. No doubt they told him never to run. The thing that killed the Bears was that they were impatient on offense. Instead of running the ball for the majority of time, that would have kept them on the field, they ran it some then tried to go for the long bomb TD. What they missed was that the Colts never had any coverage in the middle. Rex could've thrown that ball for short pass plays 10 -15 yards and won the game because the Colts left tht wide open. He didn't. Then they never ever throw to the TE. Only to Muhammad, Berrian, and Jones. Desmond Clark was wide open whole game waiting for a pass. No one ever covered him and the Bears couldn't figure that out. Rex never makes plays with his feet, which demonstrated his imaturity at QB. Had that been a Micheal Vick or a Drew Brees, they would have made something happen. The Bears for the longest time was never outside of striking range pointwise. Only because the defense played was the score not worse than that. Also the offense never thought about the fact that the defense spent most of the game on the field. They were tired but the O didn't care they just kept running the same tired over-simplified offense the whole game and they lost because of it.
This will teach them a lesson. Next year expect to see the Bears play with a different mindset. Grossman will have another year of starter experience and perhaps lose his timidness. Their star defensive player will be back in action and players like Urlacher, Muhsin, Kreutz will get what they deserve after so many years of good solid play without a ring. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet before you can realize what you missed. A good team have to be hungry as well as good and the Colts were hungry.
