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

Boone's put on alot of weight.

[RynoRules]

I think the defense might be tired - they have been on the field for the 3/4 of the game, wioth Rex Grossman on their collective backs the whole time.

[Careless]

:?

[Soul]

Meanwhile this defense has its own problems.

[USSoccer]

Again, show me proof that Griese has EVER played this bad.

 

11/9/2003:

 

15/27 131 yds 0 TD 3 INT 27.1 RAT

 

9/30/2002

 

35/53 328 yds 1 TD 3 INT 65.6 RAT

 

1/6/2002

 

16/32 151 yds 1 TD 4 INT 34.2 RAT

[jjgman21]

Grossman is playing on a team that has talent enough to win a SB if he just plays avg. He is playing WELL BELOW avg. This is a team that is ready to win NOW, not two years from now like the Titans (Vince Young) or the Cards (Leinart). We can't have patience with Rex b/c windows in the NFL close too quickly.

 

This is a really good point that I was about to mention. The Bears are really set up to win THIS year. Hell, you know the defense is going to be worse next year, just based on the loss of Lance Briggs alone. They have to go for it this season, Grossman's development be damned. If Griese can help the team win more this year, they have to do that.

 

So you'd advocate playing the inferior veteran over the younger player, when the veteran doesn't give you much over the younger player?

 

winning with Lance Briggsat the expense of Developing Rex is not a good strategy for the long term health of the team.

 

Your assumption that Griese would be inferior at this point to Rex is not a supportable assertion.

 

as is your assumption he would be better.

 

Just show me where Griese put up a 0 QB rating. Otherwise your just dead wrong.

 

 

if A = B, and B = C, then Y obviously = cherry pie.

Still better than a 0.0 RAT.

Easily beats Rex today.

Now Rex NEEDS to play well, otherwise this game is going to be a loss.

 

Let's see how he responds.

Still better than a 0.0 RAT.

 

If Rex finishes the game with a 0 RAT, you'll be right. However, I doubt that happens.

[Jon]

One more time...Rex has barely thrown the ball at all today. And his QB rating is above 0.

Well done - you dug around and found four games (out of how many starts?) from 3 or more years ago that he played badly in. You could do a search and find the same for guys named Manning, Montana, Favre, Luckman, Tittle...just about anyone.

 

Now go and show me where Griese has played this bad over an extended stretch as Rex has.

 

What are Griese's career stats, please?

[Jon]

Thanks should go out to the refs for allowing the Vikings to make this a 1 point game. I still can't believe they screwed that call up...

You talking about the late hit? Looked like a good call to me, and a dumb move by Chris Harris.

Pretty much his entire 2005 was mediorce to bad.

 

Also, Griese's got 10 points of rating and 10 YPG on Rex on their careers, and considering he has about 8 times the starts, that's not impressive.

The Urlacher flexing penalty was on their other FG drive. :?

What? The non-fumble.

 

Crap...

 

Had his man open, too...

[USSoccer]

DAMMIT.

he said "by rule" but I don't know that I've ever heard of said rule. if said rule exists, it is a stupid rule.

 

 

this is going to blamed on Rex too, right?

[Careless]

:lol:

nice defensive play

[RynoRules]

HEY LOOK ANOTHER PICK!!!

[Butterscup1679666578]

ahahahahahhahahahaha

[Soul]

I think we are past the point now. That's another 3 INT game.

 

What's that QB rating now?

[Jon]

Thanks for the gift, 83.
