Eight is enough: Finally, it's time to bench Mike Glennon and start Mitch Trubisky

GREEN BAY, Wis. — In Mike Glennon’s defense, he did throw for more than 101 yards this game, and in the first half, no less! He even added a touchdown pass to a wide receiver.
Miracles do happen sometimes in America's heartland.
Unfortunately for Glennon and the Bears, he also fumbled twice and threw an interception in the first half. And that led to a two-touchdown deficit to a Green Bay team so decimated by injuries that the Mills Fleet Farm Fan of the Game had to suit up at inside linebacker in the second half.
In his second and hopefully final road start as the Bears starting quarterback, Glennon continued his Glennoning in the second half, throwing a horrendous interception in the third quarter, and the Bears continued their losing ways after a week’s hiatus, dropping a 35-14 clunker to the Packers.
