Bears end up a little Seasick

OK: What's up with that?

A long list: Can't run the ball, can't pass protect, can't tackle … can't win that way.

And yet ... : The Bears (4-2) still are in first place thanks to Green Bay's overtime loss at home to Miami.

Memo to the Woe-line: Corner blitz, safety blitz, edge blitz … whatever you want to call it, here's an idea: pick it up. It would really, really benefit your quarterback.

Not quite there: Offensive line coach Mike Tice has adjusted his personnel a gazillion times already this season. After Sunday's debacle, maybe it's time for combination gazillion and one.

Scariest quote: The Score's Doug Buffone on Jay Cutler, who was sacked six times: “I guarantee he'll be in a body bag by year's end.

Best quote: Cutler after the game: “I feel great. Whew!

Backup plan: All reports indicate that backup QB Caleb Hanie is tan, ready and rested. He better be.

Tackle dummies: The good news? The Bears were on their way to making a number of tackles for loss. The bad news? Each time, it seemed, the Seattle player broke free for extra yards.

Get well soon: Lance Briggs. You were missed.

Demeanor alert: If you want emotion on the sideline from a coach, just take a look at the Seahawks' Pete Carroll smiling, clapping, slapping … winning.

Although ... : You have to hand it to Lovie Smith. He was awfully feisty in his postgame news conference.
