Seahawks fans are pretty dim. They seem to think that we have no offense. Do they realize that teams aren't the same from year to year. First of all, I am not saying that Rex Grossman is the next coming of Brett Favre. But by watching the first 3 games of the season, IT IS PLAINLY OBVIOUS that with Grossman at QB, the Bears offense is better. YES, there are still problems in the red zone. YES, he makes mistakes still when pressured. But the fact of the matter is, in games Grossman plays, the Bears offense consistantly puts itself in a position to score. The offense is completely changed from last season. I guess I shouldn't be too upset because the Seahawks don't intently watch Bears games like we do. If they did they would see how conservative the offense was with Orton at the helm. When Grossman threw a bomb to I think Moose in the GB game last year, it was the first 40+ yard pass completion of the year. How many do we have this year? Certainly more then 1. The game has opened up and we can now play for the deep pass instead of simply hoping to get a few good runs and a FG while hoping for the D to hold ground. We can now actually get in shootouts, as evidenced by the playoff game. Seahawks fans seem to think we got shut out in that game. I agree, the game was worse then the score indicated, but we spent most of the second half within a 1 score distance. Our defense failed, but our offense looked pretty decent in that game and has only improved since. I don't mind Seattle thinking that they can win, because they should think that. But to dismiss the Bears as an inferior opponent and then saying its because we have no offense is idiotic.

The game isn't for another 6 days, and this game thread already has as many pages as the last 2 Cubs game threads combined.

I want Matt Murton to bat 2nd. I never want him to bunt. Ever. Never ever. Not even with a runner on second with 0 outs playing for 1 run?

Likely. Maybe the Bucs can see what Major Applewhite is up to these days

Yes but his OBP is so nice, and I still contend he would hit for more power at Wrigley.

I'll try to dig up some Bears/Seahawks photos a little later, but they are hard to find.

Thanks Jon!

And then Kurt Warner coughed it right back to them. Time for Matt Leinart - 4 turnovers against the Rams is reason enough for a benching. He butchered my fantasy team today. My QBs are Warner, Rivers and Grossman right now...but I'll be 3-0 soon :)

Also Nomar just hit a walkoff grand slam

Rams just coughed up their game

RDub sighting! Good for him!. Disagree with the announcers though, NY is NOT back in this game.

This Ravens/Browns game is really entertaining. I was upset that we got this game at first, but now I'm satisfied

Seattle looks good but they normally play invincible at home Anyone watching the Browns/Ravens game. Some announcers show no emotion...this guy marks out on every play

Don't worry about it, I know how it is. I know why most Bears and fans around the league don't take us very seriously. The thing is, this team is well coached, won't kill themselves and plays solid defense. We haven't seen any of those three things from the Vikings in years. It's a totally different team. Our defense and limiting turnovers on offense will keep us in most every game. At the same time unless our offense can score touchdowns when they get in the red zone, it will be tough to overtake the Bears. I think we did show that the Bears offense isn't as good as some thought and Rex can be rattled or confused with pressure. Like I said before the season I would have been more than satisfied with a 2-1 start. We have the Bills and Lions heading into the bye, then come out with Seattle and New England. After those 4 games we'll know how good the Vikes can be. I knew the Vikings would give the Bears offense trouble because of how they like to blitz. Grossman loses his mind under pressure, and you guys did a good job of taking advantage of that, although you could have had up to 5 INTs today.

I think its obvious that the Vikings are a good team. Before the game, I considered them a fringe playoff team. Now I view them as a solid 9-7 or 10-6 wild card team. Possibly even better. Viknigs have a pretty easy stretch coming up save the games against New England and the Giants. Anyways, sorry it got testy in here, you cant blame Bears fans for getting confident over our team after the way we played the first 2 weeks.

I can't believe they won....Vikings fans must be stunned. Honestly, even if they lost, I would contend that the Bears are the better team after seeing them both on the field...if they lost, it was a result of poor coaching and stupid decisions.

SEXT REXY!!!! SHEEEEED!!!!! I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!!!!!! CUBS LOSE!!! DEMPSTER SUCKS!!! BUT THE BEARS RULE!!!!!!!!! OH MY!!!!!!

Good job Demp

Dempster blown save.

what a terrible fan ^^ I know, I blame it on the Cubs :)

Dempster about to blow another save for the Cubs

Rex Grossman is the next Brett Favre. Of the last 3 years

Boo the O-Line, the Defense for lack of tackling, and the Coaches as well. Thank God for Berrian. Ok

I am going to drive to O'Hare after the game and boo Grossman off the plane

That would make the offense better than the defense so far, right?? Well if the logic is that the offense should give up as many points as the defense, then yes
