    Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush shredded the Bears defense for 139 yards rushing and 34 receiving on Sunday.

    Some Bears players think former teammate Israel Idonije tipped the Lions off to their line calls, Michael C. Wright of ESPN Chicago reports.

    “I think they had a good game plan for us in the run game. They have Israel Idonije over there, who was a long time player for us, and who also happens to really know our defense,â€￾ safety Chris Conte said. “So they really had a great scheme going. But we just have to have a better effort individually. That’s all there is to it.â€￾

    Sweets's Take: Because no other players leave a team and tell their current team all they know about their former team.

    It happens all the time, if it's a problem then change the calls, not something IMO is worth the trouble but complaining about it later isn't worth your breath.

    Wah, wah...Perhaps it had something to do with Cutler's 4 turnovers too.

    That's ridiculous. Last excuse you ever want to hear after a loss... :tsk:

    Misfitz thanks you for taking up the Cutler gauntlet. :icon_thumright:

    I can see why he picked you since knowing much about football wasn't a requirement.

    If this is true, so what. It's not like it's the first time this has happened.
