Sometimes you have to put the notch in the win column, board the plane and go back to Chicago.  That's what the Bears should do after yesterday's painful victory over the Seattle Seahawks.  Some thoughts...Ron Turner needs to understand, and understand now, that Jay Cutler is the offense's best weapon and stop taking the ball out of his hands in big situations.  (Side note: I'm already taking the guy for granted and it's only been three ballgames.)Why are we asking Robbie Gould to kick fifty-three yarders on an opening drive?  Decisions like that remind me why I don't care for Lovie Smith.If we don't get to the quarterback on a drop back, it's a guaranteed first down.  The replay of...
