Week 9: Bears vs Miami - Sunday, Nov. 5th, 12 pm CT

The other thing is that for years people have been harping on the instability of the QB position in Chicago. Now, after a 7-1 start people are clamoring for Griese over Grossman.

 

Unreal levels of stupidity.

 

Someone told me today that they should go to Greise if the Bears are losing at halftime to the Giants. Are these people high? I can't beleive that rational people could come to this conclusion.

 

Football is one sport that really brings the stupidity out of people. Even people with no clue about sports have strong opinions on the Bears.

 

Mike North this morning was talking about how last year Orton only "lost" us a couple of games, while Rex so far has "lost" one and should have lost 2 more.

 

That sounds like pretty obvious, "say something to rile people up" kind of stuff.

 

If only other people in the city didn't think the same way. A lot of people seem to think the Bears would be more successful with a "game manager" type QB.

 

AKA a bad QB. Hey, Eckstein is gritty and clutch! If we say something enough, it becomes true!

LOL, it isn't just Mike North. Those Rex Grossman executioners from the preseason have been salivating for a chance to save face. There's actually quite a few of 'em hanging around, just waiting.

 

One more game like last week and you'll hear it a little louder. The trouble is, if Rex doesn't learn from his mistakes then at some point you DO have to yank him----then everyone who hated him in the preseason will conveniently forget the 7-0 start and the 100+ QB ranking, and simply declare themselves "right" all along.

 

It's really quite maddening.

I don't know about you guys, but my optimism for the rest of the season rests solely on Brian Urlacher's foot. He was/is having an MVP caliber season...not defensive MVP, overall MVP.
