[CBFF] 28 points of turnovers

Rex's poor play is frustrating, but so was Ron Turner's play calling.
The lack of commitment to the run was staggering.  I think it's clear
that Rex plays great in a balanced offense, but when they ask him to
throw 60 or 70 percent of the time - particularly when playing
catch-up - he's nowhere as effective.

I'm also blown-away by their refusal to play Benson more.  He clearly
did more with the ball when he touched it, and yet Thomas Jones got
more playing time.  Must be due to pass protection concerns, but that
gets back to the notion that the Bears should have run the ball more
anyway.

It's one thing to be outplayed.  It's another thing to give it away.
All of the Fins points came off of turnovers.  Sad.

Even before today, I didn't think the Bears would get more than one
win out of the upcoming road trip.  Now I believe it.
