  1. Well not anymore. They already managed to kill their chances in this game.
  2. Might as well just forfeit the rest of this game if that's what they're going to try to do.
  3. Way to suck, Wade. Not only did you drop it, but you had absolutely no business even trying to catch it.
  4. They've already done enough to lose this game and their offense isn't capable of winning it. Lovie has to do whatever he can do give his team a chance to win. If he goes back out there with the same QB, he simply isn't doing that. But he's giving the team a chance to win longterm. With this offense, the Bears are gonna have a tough shot winning it anyway. So, Grossman won't make much of a difference, unless you believe he's THAT much better than Orton....which is hard to believe he is at this moment without having played much football in 2 years. What happens if Grossman comes into this game that is looking like a loss anyway and goes down with another injury? I would guess the odds of injury increase simply due to the fact the offense is gonna put the ball in the air more than they have all year. Grossman theoretically allows the offense to do a lot more than Orton does. The Steelers' defense is having an easy time predicting what's coming. The offensive line, though, is giving Orton all the time in the world right now. I don't think Grossman would have to press or face much of an injury risk. The defense has to stop 'em here for that to even matter, of course.

  6. Bad kick by Maynard, terrible half for the Bears. If the defense doesn't give the offense good field position for a change early in the third quarter and Grossman isn't in there, this one is over.
  7. His recievers aren't really getting open downfield. And he's not making decisions nearly fast enough. He gets happy feet when he's pushed back in the pocket even with protection and his mechanics are bad.
  8. Well that run up the middle was lovely when you're already down a timeout.
  9. Thank you.
  10. Orton is terrible. He's getting tons of time and can't make a decision. Then he tries to throw a ball off of his back foot while going backwards with plenty of protection.
  11. Brown only had the wind knocked out of him. He's fine. Grossman, plz. And Wade...jumping is stupid.
  12. And now Alex Brown is hurt.
  13. Bryan Johnson still in the trainer's room and Nathan Vasher is having problems with both of his legs. And this is horrible.
  14. It was a dumb call by Lovie (I'm sure he accepted because he figured Pitt would go for it on 4th and 1), but what irks me is Lance Briggs missing the tackle on the screen and the defense giving up 16 on 3rd and 13. The Bears have stuffed several runs for losses already. I don't think they'd gamble giving the Bears the ball at midfield in a 4-point game.
  15. Lovie costs the team 7. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to have figured out that the defense is not playing well.
  16. The Steelers' running game is having their way with the defense. Any points given up here would be very costly.
  17. Ugh. Come on, Lovie. Decline the penalty and get the ball.
  18. Haw haw. Replay third down? Wasn't he short?
  19. Took a while for that flag to come in.
  20. Todd Johnson back out of the locker room. Sigh.
  21. ARGH. Todd Johnson is out with an injured shoulder. This is not good.
  22. That wasn't picked off? Bobby Wade time...
  23. Woo! I love Urlacher.
  24. The Bears can't afford to bring that many guys on a blitz that often.
  25. Haha. Way to pick up the 5-yard penalty while trying to challenge it.
