last I checked, we dont run the West Coast.... Is Turners O a derivative of the west coast? I didnt think it was

That's why you trade Lovie to the Cowboys and use those picks + others for McNabb. i'm confused...so you would be out a coach with a hurt QB? I like McNabb, he would make the Bears the odds on favs for the super bowl, but the chances of him getting hurt ar soo damn high Slide Rivera to the Head spot. I like Rivera, but I like Lovie more as a head coach.

McNabb has "Hershel Walker trade" written all over him, ie just one more player to get us over the top, trade the farm away.. at least thats my fear

Screw it. Try and get Schaub from Hotlanta. He's gonna be bad to the bone if he gets a chance to start somewhere. are you serious..Matt Schaub? I have a good friend who is a huge Falcons fan, and hates the idea of Schuab starting...I didnt think he showed much promise...

he seemed to be in position, alot better then before

I wouldn't mind unconventional, but I do agree with your statement about needing to be a no-brainer. I don't replace Grossman with a guy who has his own questions. I just don't buy the theory that he's hopeless. A lot of people said the Bears could never win in the playoffs with a guy like Grossman. I think what we're forgetting is that the Bears went to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman in his first full year. This isn't a case of the team struggling to win 9/10 games a year while developing a QB. They made the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman. That very fact negates any notion that they can't win a Super Bowl with Rex Grossman. The defense was not at its best, and they were still within 5 points of winning the Super Bowl late in the game. This post loss apocalyptic talk about absolutely needing to replace Grossman is more emotional than logical. I think it would be very unrealistic to assume his next 28 games won't be better than his first 28 games. I would bet on his 2007 being better than his 2006, barring injury. I guess there's a chance weve seen his best and it's all downhill from here. But I highly doubt that's true, and I really don't see any realistic opportunity for improvement elsewhere. i WOULD WHOLEY AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS. i AM DISAPPOINTED THAT HE DIDNT GROW FASTER, BUT WHO ELSE WOOULD HAVE? GRIESE? DENVER DUMPED HIM FOR JAKE FRIGGEN PLUMMER. ORTON? THE GUY CANT EVEN TAKE BEING A 3RD STRING QB SERIOUSLY. I DONT LIEK BYRON LEFTWICH, GARCIA, OR ANY OF THE OTHER OPTIONS EITHER. THE ONLY ONE I THINK MIGHT BE POSSIBLE IS KURT WARNER, BUT HE SEMS TO HAVE LOST IT TOO. I THINK THE BEARS HAVE TO BITE THIS BULLET AND STICK WITH REX.

The Bears wouldn't have been in the Super Bowl without Grossman this year. He's not ideal by any stretch. But Griese sure as hell isn't a sure thing for glory. I agree Griese wouldn't be better. But I don't think mediocre is ok just because we don't have anything better when we're going into the offseason now, and can try to get something better. I understand our options are limited, but I think Angelo has to look at all of those options and figure out if Rex really is the best option. I'm not sure he is. There's no obvious free agent option. There's no chance of a near-term solution via the draft. The Bears need to put 100% of their QB efforts behind making Rex better. Or at the most, put some of that into drafting a future QB in the middle rounds. But barring any miracle situation where they discover a diamond in the rough off somebody else's bench, Grossman is the QB. Yeah, I guess I just don't like the "there's no other choice" argument. I know there's injury concerns, but if you could get Byron Leftwich for say a 4th or 5th round pick, would you do it? i'd stay away from leftwich...

It doesn't matter what your intentions are, the result is the same. Nobody ever said the Bears are good in rain. The cold and snow was an advantage against New Orleans mostly because the Saints never played in those conditions. The rain is bad for the Bears. And the rain was good for the Colts? Hell, they're a dome team. THE COLT PLAYERS WERE ALL CLAINING BEFORE THE GAME IT WAS GOOD FOR THEM BECUSE OF THE BUILD-UP OF THE FIELD, THE RAIN MADE THE FIELD FASTER.. OF COURSE, THIS SHOULD HAVE HELPED THE BEARS D BOTTOM LINE, THE COLTS HANDLED THE RAIN MUCH BETTER THEN THE BEARS DID, AND YET THE BEARS WERE IN IT UNTIL THE END. I LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR

I have to confess. At the beginning of the season, I never REALY thought we would be here today. It never really had crossed my mind. Its really starting to hit me. GO BEARS

u and me both

beautiful :D

has anyone heard anything about a Philadelphia team yet? mls?

thats what i am up to. I told a friend exactly this (that I wouldnt sleep tonite or tomorrow), but i intend to get some sleep somehow. GO BEARS

I disagree. Look at what happened since Mike Brown went down. Teams were suddenly able to run on the Bears. Now it gets even worse with Harris gone. Did you see the way Minnesota was able to run the ball after he left the game? It's frightening to think about. they were before and after he left. its no secret, you put 2 guys on Harris, 2 on Tank and you can run up the middle. Rivera needs to adjust to this.

I just want good rex back.

It doesn't help that the play-calling is so aggressive, but I agree wholeheartedly. It's really the tale of decline, and it's not because it's against good teams. However, I STILL don't see the point of starting Griese. Change the game plan, keep Rex on a leash, whatever, but Griese still shouldn't start. But the QB situation combined with the Harris injury has me very, very close to the panic button. I'm less worried about the Harris injury. I love Tommie, but we have a good DT rotation. The Grossman thing boggles me. Maybe he need to be motivated/head cleared by a Griese start but I dont believe Griese will carry this team anywhere

thats what I fear. I dont know what the problem is. Turner? Grossman's brashness? I dont get it. He was phenomenal early in the season, now just junk. I think he needs a mental break.

aaaaaaa...the Prima-Donna http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/154771,CST-SPT-bbnt30.article

wow...Westbrook would be a nice early x-mas present

I should eat crow on him. He's steped it up. yes he has. I love the way he and Chris Harris hit. makes me think of the Plank years

I HATE THE VIKINGS comon rex, show the world your anger....kill these mo-fos!!!

my friend (who is neither a Bears fan or a football fan) who was watchign the game with me, couldnt understand why i was moaning about Buck at the beginning of the game. 1/2 throught the 2nd quarter, he says "now i get it..this guy is horrible" lol

A possible infield of Lee, Soriano, Ramirez, and Barrett would rock. BARRETT AT SS ON FOX CATCHING???

there's no way this is true
