Rex Grossman's bad day (Bear's Dominate anyways)

Fantasy football is not my thing. I would rather my favorite team win & our QB have a High School game (9-16, 32 yards, 3 INTS); then our QB (Grossman) go off for 300 yards and my team lose on a 60 yard field goal to a non-playoff team (sorry Colts). For you fantasy homers who started Grossman, my condolences.

The Bears have the best D and the best special teams in the league. Thus we are 10-2 with a QB who has had as many bad games as he’s had great ones. Da Bears are back and Rex IS STILL our guy.

Before you go off on Jay Cutler or Rex Grossman or Vince Young remember they have started less then 2 seasons worth of games.

The INDY STAR reported yesterday, “Manning’s rookie season was a baptism-by-fire ordeal, and he had the burn marks to prove it. In his first 6 starts, he completed only 53.8 percent of his passes while throwing 6 TDs and 14 INTS.”

Vince Young had a QB rating of 56.1 through his first 7 games and then in week 8 BAM 107.9. Vince may be the real deal (time will tell). The Titans had a gutsy performance exposing once again the Colt’s horrible run defense.

Would you rather have Grossman at QB, the Colt’s run defense, or the Titans wide receiving core? At least Grossman has alot of potential...I can't say the same for the Colts run D even with the BOGGER clogging up the middle.

Have a great Monday (isn't football wonderful)?

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Let the fans boo and the critics ramble. Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith refused to budge Monday. He's sticking with Rex Grossman as his starting quarterback.
A day after the Bears wrapped up their second straight NFC North championship, Grossman's lowly performance in a 23-13 win over the Vikings still was the main topic. A 1.3 quarterback rating and three more interceptions increased the clamoring for a change to veteran Brian Griese.

Grossman's shaky outing took the edge off clinching a playoff spot and left many wondering if he could return to the way he played the first five weeks of the season instead of continuing on his present course.

"We are not making a change. ... Rex didn't play as well as he needed to yesterday. It was a bad game for us, bad game for Rex," Smith said Monday after reviewing tape.

Lovie Smith and I agree-

Tommie Harris is injured (big problem) in addition to Mike Brown (out for season).

Mike Brown is to the Bears what Bob Sanders is to the Colts.

Laura,

That is a security measure (if it is not showing up clearly you may try and right click on it and make sure it is on high quality).

This security measure blocks SPAM blogs. Crazy but they are out there!
