			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4972" title="50072368" src="http://notqualifiedtocomment.com/wp-content/uploads/50072368-300x203.jpg" alt="50072368" width="300" height="203" />So due to a family tragedy, I was unable to watch the Bears completely meltdown yesterday.  And I mean meltdown.  I&#8217;m hoping most of you turned the game off at halftime with the Bears already down 31-3.  I can only look at the statistics and wonder what went wrong.  Here&#8217;s the things that jumped out at me and the questions they left behind:</p>
<p><strong>Jay Cutler:</strong> 26/37; 256 yards; 1 TD; 3 INTs.  What happened here?  Thats a pretty good completion percentage and it looks like two of the picks were in the 2nd half when they were coming from behind.  Fumbles?  3 and outs?  What happened here?</p>
<p><strong>Matt Forte:</strong> 6 carries; 24 yards.  My gut reaction is, of course, to blame the offensive line.  But what went on here with the playcalling?  They must have abandoned the run really early to have only 12 rushes against 37 passes.  And is this the story with Forte (the story being he sucks)?</p>
<p><strong>Cedric Benson:</strong> 37 carries; 189 yards; 1 TD.  I don&#8217;t care how good Benson is now, the run defense is awful.  Can we just admit that even though Tommie Harris isn&#8217;t what he once was, he&#8217;s still the anchor of that run defense?  What the f#$% happened?</p>
<p><strong>Carson Palmer:</strong> 20/24; 233 yards; 5 TDs; 0 INTs.  <strong>Chicago Bears Defense:</strong> 0 Sacks.  The pass rush was obviously non-existent, but where was the secondary?  Did they do the best they could and just couldn&#8217;t cover Ochocinco for 20 seconds per play?</p>
<p>Those are the questions that arise, though I&#8217;m sure there are many more.  Since I was unable to see the game, I am asking you, the readers, to please try to answer my questions and explain to me what the hell went wrong.  Please leave a 1-2 short paragraph comment on this story, and I will print all the good comments tomorrow as part of a Bears recap post.  Help me understand how this could have happened!</p>
