Minnesota leads it 13-6 at the half.
-
Which is why you don't pull him until you see what happens in the 3rd quarter. If the Bears go down by 3 scores, put him in. If they stay close, keep Kyle in. A lot should be decided by the 1st possision of the half. Just because Orton has improved doesn't mean that he's stopped playing badly. He's got a lot to improve to be playing average.
-
Moose is playing better too - he's actually caught some passes. :)

Do you think that Orton is the reason they are losing? Do you think that if the defense plays better in the 2nd half that Orton can lead them back? I would question tossing Rex in a game like this on the road. He's going to press, and make mistakes. I think if the defense can give the O one break, they can win this game. If the Steelers score on the 1st possension of the second half, though, then maybe you do change to Rex. No, Orton's not the reason they're losing. But 3 points in a half isn't going to win the game even if the Bears' D plays well. No, Orton can't lead the team back/Turner won't open up the playbook. I just want Grossman to get some snaps - the Bears aren't going to win the game anyways.

The Bears are down by 10+ points, Pitt's weakness on defense is when the offense stretches the field, and the Bears can't stretch the field b/c of Orton whether it is b/c of the play call or Orton's inability is more than reasoning to bring in Grossman. Agreed. I've been a big proponent of sticking with Orton, but in my mind it's time for Grossman after the half. I think if you make a change, you make one early in the week so Rex can prepare. Doesn't matter, Rex got 25% of the snaps, which is very low, but he got some snaps. The Bears aren't going to win with Orton today, they need Rex to come in and spark the offense. He needs some in-game PT before Orton is benched.

Sigh.
-
Way to waste the last timeout by letting that play clock get down.
-
Agreed.
-
YES! A flag.
-
Moose has been huge on this drive.
-
Why? Orton is not the reason they are losing at all. Not like Orton has done much to help the team. If the defense could stop anyone it would still be 7-3. 3 points wouldn't win the game. That was a nice play by Moose. Wow, how didn't Pitt pick that off?

Now Alex Brown hurt.
-
The fumbles keep bouncing Pittsburgh's way. :(
-
Minnesota up 10-3 now.
-
Nice drop, Adrian! :x

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. I disagreed with accepting it and was wondering why Lovie did it, but the defense played like crap there. No excuse for giving up a first down on 3rd and 13. It's not even like the D was tired, they were on the field much less than the offense.

If Pittsburgh goes up 14-3, that's the game.
-
The Bears' D is playing AWFUL.
-
Great D, guys. :roll: Ugh, Briggs.
-
Great stop. Nice penalty.
-
Wow, Bears dominating TOP.
-
They better call that illegal block/block in the back. EDIT: Phew.
-
I don't think TJ got it. :(
