Week 13: Bears vs. Minnesota - Sunday, Dec 3, 12 pm CST

[E.J.]

Hester! Sounded like an amazing run. Hopefully they'll show a replay during the Lions game that I'm stuck watching.

[USSoccer]

I can't wait to finish 9-7.

 

If Griese plays, that's a distinct possibility. He's just as turnover prone.

 

He's not *this* turnover prone though.

 

I really want Rex to get it together because I understand what you're saying. But this is going south so damn quick.

 

Yes he is. His track record shows it. There's a reason Denver let him go. He would consistently make poor decisions.

 

Football is just like baseball sometimes. You have a mediocre, veteran guy with a mediocre arm as a backup, and people throw adjectives around like "experienced", "savvy", "game manager", "ball control guy" and whatever.

[Jon]

Why is Grossman getting most of the blame on that? Turner's the one who thinks it's a good idea to chuck it deep with a windchill below 5 and a 15 mph wind. The read by Rex wasn't bad. It was one on one for Berrian. But you just cannot call that play.

 

grossman has more than one option. he should know that if he's throwing downfield in this weather, berrian had better be pretty open. he wasn't.

Berrian one on one against a bad defensive back isn't a terrible read. Bernard did a horrible job on that play by not coming back for it at all. But that was the primary read on the play and that's what he threw. There just isn't a reason to call that play in the first place.

[Brian]

Hester is my homeboy.

I know it. I don't see Griese tossing picks like this though.

 

But I still just want Rex to start playing better.

he's still had less than a full season of experience as a starting QB. now he knows. was probably told, but any cocky young athelete isn't going to believe it.

 

now he knows what the wind can and will do. if he keeps it up, I will be concerned.

The only reason i could see a positive about Gries is he isnt very good at the deep ball. So turner might stop calling that play. Thats the only advantage i see.

Rex's arm is alright, but that was just too far a throw for him. If he wants that read, then he needs to throw it sooner than that and he didn't.

 

At least some of that is on Rex, like it or not.

If that's the reason to pull Rex, then maybe it's not Rex who needs to be replaced.

[jjgman21]

I wonder why more teams don't employe the pop up kick toward the side like we saw in Flordia-Arkansas yesterday. the guys that field the punts there aren't accustomed to fielding the kick and the blocking scheme isn't set up to block that spot on the field.

If it takes Griese being in there for Turner to make that change, then Turner needs to be fired.

[Banedon]

I'm tired of seeing the big runs against us.

[USSoccer]

There's that awesome run defense.

[Jon]

What the heck, defense...

[Soul]

Damn it, that sucks bones.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Bah.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

What the hell, run defense?

[Brian]

BS

[Jon]

WHAT A BOGUS PENALTY!!

of course some is, but not as much as is being placed.

 

Tim Ryan 'Johnson has the edge because he's managing the game.' what are we supposed to forget the tossup he made to Manning? he's just the league punching bag right now and it's not completely warranted.

[Careless]

ooo urlacher flexed his arms!

what a joke

[Soul]

MY GOD WHAT A RIDICULOUS CALL.

[sherwood921]

You have got to be kidding me

[CaliforniaRaisin]

BS penalty.

[Jon]

Thayer had it right. Bad calls like that are an embarrassment to the game.
