Bears: Is it over yet?

I watched the season finales of Californication and Dexter last week (I still want to do a Dexter review) and as much as I didn't want those shows to end, I want the Bears season to end soon. It is very apparent that this team is mostly moving backwards. I just want it to end before too much damage is done. Sunday's game was one of the most painful to watch. There were some good signs. The running game continues to improve which is an extremely good trend. The Bears were also able to contain Ray Rice after the initial bursts. I guess the player I've seen regress most is Cutler. Early on his passes were lightning quick and the interceptions were often half the receivers fault or a tip ball. But recently his passes have been short not on target or intercepted. I hope that off-season workouts with the receivers can improve that. Cutler's troubles are worrisome because this is the player that will most likely outlast the current coaches and GM. With all the speculation and talk about the safety of certain jobs, it is very apparent that everybody is focusing on the next season, which is the same I am doing. I can't wait to see what happens to Hank Moody and Dexter Morgan. As for the Bears, I'll watch with cautious pessimism.
