The Bears also HAVE to start throwing the ball down the field more. If you're not getting anything on the ground, you have to soften up the defense somehow. Alshon was murdering the Texans secondary early in the game for easy yards, yet the Bears never went back to it in the 2nd half. It didn't make any sense. Then, Kevin White, the guy who's supposed to be really fast, didn't get a single opportunity on a deep route the entire game. WTF? How many throws beyond 10-15 yards did Cutler make the entire game? It didn't seem like a lot.
The sad truth is that even if Cutler were picked off throwing bombs to either of those two, it's almost better than watching Pat O'Donell try and punt it there.
