Just when you think the D stepped it up...
-
I think Rex should start next week. I don't think it does anyone any good to put him in there right now. I don't think this game is winnable anymore, and I'd rather not risk him getting hurt.
-
The defense should be embarrased.
-
Well not anymore. They already managed to kill their chances in this game. Which is EXACTLY why you get Rex game experience now. On a wet field. Probably not the best move. Unless Rex is going to play strong safety, or assist the LB's in tackling, it won't matter.
-
Here's where the D needs to put up or shut up.
-
Because Rex would have prevented Clark from bobbling another ball from Orton. Or Rex would have had the mobility after an ACL AND a broken ankle to avoid a sack on a wet field. Rex is not Peyton Manning. Rex isn't even 2004 Rex. The most popular player on any football team is the backup QB.
-
Not sure how that sack or the upteenth drop by Clark is Orton's fault. He has 2 good players around him. Our offense as a unit sucks something fierce.
-
Nice blocking there. :^o
-
Desmond Clark s-u-c-k-s.
-
Because he won't get a chance to muff/fumble it? What's the NFL record for most fubles by a return man?
-
Gotta get points here on this drive.
-
Thanks to like 3 long returns. That's a misleading stat.
-
Why wouldn't he let the ball roll into the endzone?
-
Why would Pittsburgh start the half throwing? They gifted the Bears a 3 and out there.
-
The weather is not going to help the Bears comeback effort.
-
I think it's in the 75-80 area
-
Which is why you don't pull him until you see what happens in the 3rd quarter. If the Bears go down by 3 scores, put him in. If they stay close, keep Kyle in. A lot should be decided by the 1st possision of the half. Just because Orton has improved doesn't mean that he's stopped playing badly. He's got a lot to improve to be playing average. I don't think he's played badly at all. He's had 2 drops again today, no one gets open deep, and the defense put him in an early hole.

Do you think that Orton is the reason they are losing? Do you think that if the defense plays better in the 2nd half that Orton can lead them back? I would question tossing Rex in a game like this on the road. He's going to press, and make mistakes. I think if the defense can give the O one break, they can win this game. If the Steelers score on the 1st possension of the second half, though, then maybe you do change to Rex.

Okay, We Need Nicknames for Pierre and Murton

The Bears are down by 10+ points, Pitt's weakness on defense is when the offense stretches the field, and the Bears can't stretch the field b/c of Orton whether it is b/c of the play call or Orton's inability is more than reasoning to bring in Grossman. Agreed. I've been a big proponent of sticking with Orton, but in my mind it's time for Grossman after the half. I think if you make a change, you make one early in the week so Rex can prepare.
-
That should have been caught
-
Run a crossing route here.
-
Especailly considering that the offense needs every down the can get.
-
That run was a waste of a down.
