The Grass looked oh so green, so perfect.. But so did the Bears in yet another loss in this 2010 Pre-season.

The Bears first offense stumbled out of the gate again..Cutler had very little protection from his Offensive line, which in the early going could not stop any penetration to the second year quarterback.

“The third and long hurt us. But the guys came back and played a lot better” said Lovie Smith.

Cutler got his wake up call in the second quarter as the offensive line showed him some added protection.

Run.. Jay..Run..

Cutler's 22-yard touchdown pass to Johnny Knox just before halftime came after Wimbley had flushed him out of the pocket and he was forced to improvise.

"It wasn't exactly drawn up like that," Cutler said. "Offensive line, they're still gelling together, working together. They were in their right spot, which is always a good thing to see. It wasn't like they were just completely busted, more just physical stuff which can be corrected. Those guys are going to be good. I'm not worried about them."

“Offensively, we took advantage of situations and put fourteen points on the board” said Smith.

Look at him Run..

Forte's showed increased speed in Bourbonnais. Behind center Olin Kreutz and with nice blocks from Louis and tight end Kellen Davis, Forte sliced through a hole on the right side and raced 89 yards for a touchdown. That proved to be the only real spark of the night.. It was all downhill from there.

Large Holes to fill…on Offense

Jay Cutler was sacked 5 times by Oakland in the first half in the 21 times he dropped back to pass, with Kamerion Wimbley beating left tackle Chris Williams for 3½ sacks

"I got beat," Williams said. "No surprises. Just didn't play well. Keep working. It's not going to happen again. I don't know what to tell you besides I'm going to keep working hard."

Even snapping the ball was a problem tonight as Patrick Mannelly was sidelined with a “Stinger’ he suffered in last week’s loss to the Chargers. He should be back in the lineup this next game against the Cardinals.

The Defense also was missing a cylinder…

The Defense lost Brian Urlacher early in the game.. Nothing serious, at least that what Smith said a man of few words “ We don’t think it’s anything serious” Julius Peppers looked to be injured a bit later but it proved to be just a finger to the eye and nothing more and he returned to the game.

The second team for both sides also seemed to stumble as well. This is pre season after all and the reason they play these games is to see who makes the final cut. There were no clear cut standouts on these Bears players who need to make the team. There are two more games for those to strut their stuff and show they belong here.

Next up, the Cardinals from Arizona on Saturday.
