If everything about the Bears reaks of "soft" than why do we consistently here about how the Bears are one of the more physical teams in the league (and from players around the league).
I remember hearing Chad Johnson elude to it and it gets referred to as often. I realize the popular thing to do is get on Smith because of how he isn't vocal to the media, but aside from the Cincy game he gets his guys to show-up.
I've had my issues with the intensity out of some of our defensive stars after the Super Bowl season, but I've just came to the reality that those defensive "stars" aren't stars.
However, the Bears always come out to play (with one exception in the last few years). Mistakes happen, its a part of football.
Are people calling for Fassel's head (Giants Head Coach) after they got embarassed by the Eagles? No
Were people calling for Bellichecks head when the Bills annihilated him in an opening day win against the Patriots (he went on to win the super bowl that year)? No
Bottom line is, blow-outs happen sometimes in the NFL. By and large though, this team has pretty much always met my expectations and than some under Lovie as opposed to the other way around and to me that is a sign of a quality head coach.
