Bears Lose Badly to Packers, Glennon's Job in Trouble

       The Chicago Bears fell to 1-3 on the season after a lopsided loss to the Green Bay Packers who improved to 3-1. The Bears are now tied with the Vikings at the bottom of the division while Green Bay sits even with the Detroit Lions in first.

       Although the defense gave up a lot of points, the offense didn't do anything to help. Glennon had another disastrous game coughing up the ball 4 times (two interceptions and two fumbles). Mike Glennon has 4 touchdowns, 5 interceptions, 5 fumbles (3 lost), and a passer rating of 76.9 through 4 games this season. The fact that he is still starting is beyond comprehension. Despite his horrible performance in the first half, Fox decided to stick with Glennon in the second half of Thursdays game. It has got to be hard to feel you are making the right choice when the home crowd of Green Bay cheers as the opposing quarterback takes the field. If it wasn't for Jordan Howard and the Bears defense, the Bears could easily be winless right now. 

       Thanks to the mistakes by Glennon, Rodgers had many opportunities to carve up a Bears defense that wasn't getting any rest whatsoever. He finished the day 18 for 26, with 179 yards, and 4 touchdowns. The Packers didn't have to do much thanks to the Bears (Glennon) handing them the ball every chance they had.

       With this loss, the Bears season is starting to slip away. If Fox continues to stick with Glennon, there may be riots going on in Chicago and rightly so.

THAT MOMENT:       

       Danny Trevathan was suspended 2 games for a hit on Packers wide receiver Davante Adams. Despite the nastiness of the hit, I don't believe that was ever Trevathan's intention. But intentions aside, the end result warranted some discipline from the NFL.
