    I have no problem with a Grossman/Griese competition in camp next year. I can't imagine any Bear fans would. Basically there should be competition at every position no matter what. Why not? Your stars should be able to win their jobs easily, and any marginal players need the motivation to get better.

    I'm ready to give Grossman some time to grow. I think he's got more upside. I think we need to re-sign Briggs or it won't matter what happens with Grossman. Franchise Lance please.

    Fact is, we just didn't get the job done and the Colts did. I'm not going to crucify Grossman as the only reason we lost. He had a bad game. So did some other Bear players. The coaches didn't do a particularly good job either. We were just beaten, that's all. The Colts were better. Nothing else needs to be said really.

    yeah, I didn't pay as much attention last year. Will comcast start focusing on the cubs alot once the pitchers and C's report? Such as have small segments on them in their 1 hour show? Well, I believe Comcast will be having more Cub ST games on than last year. Last year it was abysmal, like 2 games. So hopefully they will have more coverage. I would imagine the real stuff won't start until the whole team reports though.

    Yes, but I think the fact that Super Bowl losers are typically dismal the next year puts a damper on the accomplishments of this year. It's going to be exceedingly tough for the Bears to get back. If they lose Briggs-----nigh impossible.

    Hehe :) Pitchers and Catchers report everybody!! Feb 14th http://www.springtrainingonline.com/features/reporting_dates.htm I'm outta here. Good night, congrats to the Colts. Good season for the Bears, just didn't end the way we wanted it to. Now it's all about preserving this football team through the right contracts and acquisitions so the window doesn't close.

    I'd be satisfied with Benson as the full time RB. Having both is nice, but losing Jones would hardly be devastating. There are bigger fish to fry. Jones will be paid as a feature back for some other team's offense, I assume. I would go with Irons in the 2nd rd. if he's there. Yeah, can't be paying more RBs. Just draft one or pick one up somewhere. The Benson era has begun, assuming his knee isn't too bad.

    To be honest this is my worst nightmare. I knew the Colts were the more experienced playoff club coming in. The last thing I wanted was a Rex implosion that could carry over to next year and beyond. Now all the good things Rex accomplished this year will be forgotten.
  9. Soul
    It doesn't matter. This is their proof that Rex should shut up and take all the criticism until his head explodes. To be honest, I'm not sure Grossman survives this. I know it's the Super Bowl and all, but he's going to have reporters crawling up his ass until he can't see straight now.

    Look at the bright side Bear fans. At least you don't have to shell out for another set of Bears gear.
  11. Soul
    Most of the media and Bears fans are morons, so I doubt they'll look at it objectively. He had a bad game, he's had several of them and several great games, enough glimpses of great games to merit seeing what he can do with more experience. He played terribly in the Super Bowl after whining about being criticized. Believe this like you believe in life itself: Rex is about to be crucified to all hell.
  12. Soul
    Yeah, clearly the biggest problems for the Bears are QB and secondary, though they have dealt with Harrison and Wayne well tonight. They had to kill themselves with the short passing game to get it though. I'm not satisfied with having to play 10 yards off receivers and instituting a "bend but don't break" philosophy----which is really just another way of saying "we can't stop you so please make a mistake".

    Enjoy the SB win, CCP

    They whipped the Bears in every aspect except special teams. Still upsets me off though. :x I'm really upset too. But. Gotta suck it up and admit they were better and they just beat us.
  15. Soul
    Addai He should be, but I can see them going with Manning to make it a good story. I'm pretty sure it'll be Manning.

    Your Avatar sums up how I feel right now perfectly.
  17. Soul
    Once and for all, because I believe in being a good sport: Congrats to the Colts. Better team today, no question about it.
  18. Soul
    Griese isn't any better. He can't possibly be worse than Grossman. Rex doesn't do anything well. Sure he can, his strengths aren't the Bears need. He's a good back-up/bad starter, people forget that this is Rex's 1st season. I'm not sold on him, but I'm willing to give him next year. You're right, not only because of what you say but also just because of the practicalities of NFL football. The Bears are in no position -- no way, no how -- to start dealing for a QB. They've got to find a way to resign Lance Briggs or the window closes *immediately*. Then they've got other defensive contracts coming due. The money's going to get tight. They need to resign Grossman for medium dollars, using his poor performances as leverage, and try to coach him up. There is no other way forward.

    Pitchers and Catchers report!!!!
  20. Soul
    I doubt Angelo will. They'll use this to sign Grossman to much less $$$$$ and pray he learns.
  21. Soul
    Yep. Boy, is he gonna get it. Wow. And he absolutely deserves all of it. These are just awful passes. Yes, he does.
  22. Soul
    Congrats Colts. The much better team today, for sure.
  23. Soul
    Yep. Boy, is he gonna get it. Wow.
  24. Soul
    LOL, alright what else is on TV right now?
  25. Soul
    Ummmm no, you can't run ball-control offense now Turner. That's what you do BEFORE you suck on world TV for 3 1/2 quarters.
