    Meanwhile this defense has its own problems.

    This is a really good point that I was about to mention. The Bears are really set up to win THIS year. Hell, you know the defense is going to be worse next year, just based on the loss of Lance Briggs alone. They have to go for it this season, Grossman's development be damned. If Griese can help the team win more this year, they have to do that. So you'd advocate playing the inferior veteran over the younger player, when the veteran doesn't give you much over the younger player? winning with Lance Briggsat the expense of Developing Rex is not a good strategy for the long term health of the team. Your assumption that Griese would be inferior at this point to Rex is not a supportable assertion. as is your assumption he would be better. Just show me where Griese put up a 0 QB rating. Otherwise your just dead wrong.

    Rex is playing worse than he did against the Patriots. The Vikings are among the league worst in pass defense. He's regressing. At what point will some of you admit a change needs to happen? When the Vikings beat us? How about after we lose HFA through the playoffs? Once all momentum heading into the playoffs has been destroyed? I'm curious now. What will it take?

    Harris is down. This game is going south in a hurry.
  6. Soul
    But he did throw a pick in the red zone, which IMO is worse than throwing it in your own territory. You'd rather give the opposition a full set of downs to try to put up 7 than lose a chance to likely only put up 3? No, I'd rather have a QB that doesn't throw 2 INTs on successive passes though. Something better than a 0 QB rating would be nice. I don't think that's too much to ask for.

    Tree, the choice is between a young bad and an older, veteran bad. Why go with the older bad? It's about degrees of bad. I only wish Grossman was merely bad, unfortunately he has been worse than bad. I would argue that this is *PRECISELY* why we signed Griese. To come in if Rex is struggling this badly. No. They signed him to come in if Rex got hurt. That's not the only reason. I disagree, and so would Angelo and Lovie. We'll see about that. There will come a point if things don't improve. We are fast approaching that point.

    One of the problems is, on these jailbreak blitzes we don't really have a screen play to kill them
  12. Soul
    I think we could get a block on that punter at some point today.
  13. Soul
    Their punter is the worst.
  14. Soul
    Umm, Vasher got burned there.

    You don't understand their frustration? I do. If you'd told me at the beginning of the season what Grossman's stats, our record, and total points scored this season at this point would be, I'd have been thrilled. The frustration with turnovers I can understand. But 4th downs happen. It's the cumulation of frustration over his bad play. It's totally understandable. It's him coming back to earth after an amazing start to a season. The first 5 or so games were the worst thing that could have happened to Rex. People built up Rex so high, that all he could do was fall. Coming down to earth would be one thing. A zero QB rating is something different entirely.

    Really? Him getting stepped on, and throwing the ball away when no one was open? I'm not sure that I see those as problems with Rex. He has 15 yards and 2 INTs. You don't think that's a problem?
  18. Soul
    What? Nobody was open. What was he supposed to do? This was posted before that play.

    He came off flexing his hand though. I hope he's not hurt.
  21. Soul
    Rex obviously has no confidence. This is getting very bad guys.
  22. Soul
    Let's just stick with the run, it's working.
  23. Soul
    Agreed. This is beyond stupid. Tommie Harris said it right early in the season: "We don't even know what to do anymore."
  24. Soul
    MY GOD WHAT A RIDICULOUS CALL.
  25. Soul
    Damn it, that sucks bones.
