12/11 - Bears vs. Steelers

[Banedon]

This is from Foxsports.com, and I'm stunned we haven't heard much more about this if it's true:

 

Rex Grossman, who has played in six games in three seasons, has been cleared to be the backup quarterback and there's already a mutiny within the locker room to make him the starter ahead of Orton. However, some coaches believe Grossman isn't healthy enough to play today. RB Duce Staley is inactive for the Steelers.

 

I know there's a mutiny among some media and some fans...but in the locker room?

I'm not so sure about this. While there was practically a mutiny to replace Hutchinson with Orton, I haven't heard anything about this anywhere. But then again, I can easily see the defensive unit being very frustrated with the way the offense puts everything on their shoulders.

Heath Miller scares me tomorrow.

 

Yep. The Steelers may also use a lot of 2 TE sets with Tuman staying in to help Essex on Alex Brown. Mike Green with Heath Miller 1-on-1 is a mismatch in the Steelers favor. Hopefully, the front 4 can provide a lot of pressure and the LBs can help out in the middle.

There will be a 50% chance of snow showers during the game.

It's snowing already and they expect about an inch of accumulation. The wind is also swirling.

Thank God. Real football is not played in a dome or in Florida, it's played in Pittsburgh or Chicago or Green Bay in December.

[Banedon]

Starting off passing again....2 completions and a first down...so far so good.

Let the congregation say AMEN !!

[Banedon]

Moose was open...Orton threw it over his head again.

[Jon]

Had Mushin for the first. Ugh.

 

How did they not call an illegal block in the back on the guy covering Rashied?

Sigh. Scott got cut-blocked and he was gone.

[Jon]

That was way too easy.

[USSoccer]

Great defensive start. :x

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

can our offense answer? :lol:

[Southpaw191679666239]

Hello 9-4... :(

[cubbyvirus00]

Great. The Steelers owned us on that drive. bunch of screen passes.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Well..... Each team has run 5 plays and taken up 2:52 off the clock. Pretty even game so far, eh ? [sigh]

[Southpaw191679666239]

That was the 1st opening drive TD allowed by the Bears in 18 games. :x

[rawaction]

The Bears were down 7-0 to Green Bay and New Orleans weren't they? Obviously, this is a better team, but it's not near over.

[rawaction]

Steelers have had 2 straight bad games defensively.

[Jon]

Nice couple of plays. Pitch if a few more times if Jones can keep his footing.

Not according to Fox...they said the Bears haven't won a game where they've trailed by more than 3.
