Yeah we have been down this road before with the Bears in recent history. Then they started playing real teams and you ended up with a seatbelt avatar, as I recall.
I will say that the Packers are one more loss from going into full panic mode. I could accept losing to the 9ers on the road (though they apparently are in free fall, as well), but stupid coaching decisions like the one that McFatty made against the Bungles (who did everything they could to give us that game) haunt teams for a long time. The Packers are likely the most talented team in the division, but they also have worst coach in the division, except Schwartz who barely qualifies as a coordinator. Rogers is playing pretty shitty lately, if you ignore him padding his contract incentive numbers against the Deadskins. Everyone wants to bag on Capers, but the man has never gotten any help in the talent pool, outside of the Raji/Matthews draft and the Defense was the bright spot of the last game. McCarthy is simply the worst coach in the history of the game with a superbowl ring, even worse than Switzer. As much as it pains me to say it, I think the Bears will win the division and have the honor of getting curb stomped in round one of the playoffs right along with the Packers.
On the plus side, Finley getting hurt means we might see more Cobb at TE and therefor less drops. On the minus side, whoever our conditioning coach is needs to be taken out and shot because no team that plays on grass should have this many hammy injuries this early in the season.
