The Bears' defense wasn't merely beaten by Green Bay, it was beaten up. Not only did the unit miss a ton of tackles, it was blown out on the line of scrimmage. In one of the most embarrassing plays you'll ever see, the defensive line was knocked into the end zone on Ryan Grant's four-yard touchdown run at the end of the first half. Grant, generally viewed as an overpaid middle-of-the-road running back, produced his best outing of the year and the best against the Bears this season with 145 of the Packers' 200 rushing yards. The defense gave up 427 total yards in allowing 37 points. It was an utter humiliation.

2 Unhappy trail

The Bears' offense lacks the firepower to come from behind. There aren't many teams in the NFL built to rally from a two-touchdown deficit, but without big-time playmakers on offense the Bears have virtually no chance. It's even tougher to do against a Green Bay team that excels against the pass thanks to its dominant secondary. Still, the Bears' offense managed just 234 net yards, the second-worst against the Packers. Outside of Matt Forte's 104 combined yards, the Bears did nothing.

3 Outcoached

Defensive coordinator Bob Babich gave his standard ''blame-it-on-me'' speech, which would be interesting if you hadn't heard it on a weekly basis. The way the defense is put together, it is a pick-your-poison unit that can either stop the run or the pass, but not both. Offensive coordinator Ron Turner doesn't exactly deserve to get bouquets thrown his way, either: The decision to throw on second-and-eight from their own 9 at the end of the first half is genius if it works. It didn't, and the Packers wound up having time to kick a field goal.
