Wow. We somehow managed to let Brian F'in Griese beat us. Ordinarily, I wouldn't be able to get out of bed after a Bears' loss, but you can't be too upset when your team losses when you know that they aren't a good team. True, the Bears should be 3-0 at this point after blowing two consecutive wins they should have won. But, in reality, the Bears just aren't an elite football team. 1-2 or 2-1, whats the difference when you know your team is likely to be bounced in the 1st round of the playoffs? Alright, now to the points.
1. There were so many opportunities to win that game yesterday, its baffling just trying to recount them. But I'll try. 1. 4 turnovers created. 2. Inability to score touchdowns in the beginning of the game after said turnovers. Score should have been 14-0 in the 1st quarter and likely the end of the game. 3. Kyle Orton's stupid, stupid interception return for a touchdown. 4. Kyle Orton's terrible accuracy on long throws. The interception to Forte should have been a TD. Forte had his guy beat by 5 steps. Instead, Kyle throws it behind him. 5. Rashid F'in Davis drop off of a great thrown ball by Kyle Orton, which would have given us a 1st down and likely the end of the game. 6. Nathan Vasher's failure to catch an interception thrown directly at him with no WRs in his field of vision. 7. And of course, Peanut's loony personal foul call in OT. Just stupid. I know what your thinking, there are probably 10 more stupid plays that would have sealed the deal here- I don't want to get into all of it. Its depressing.
2. Kyle Orton has been downgraded. He is a below average QB. His interception that was returned for a TD, was soo f'in stupid. He can't stretch the field and make plays in the passing game. Okay, but we gave him credit for managing the game. But he can't even f'in do that. Orton threw one great pass yesterday, a pass that was dropped by Rashid Davis. All of his other throws were inaccurate and only caught due to a great play by the WR, not Orton. Think about it. Brandon Lloyd must have had his guy beat 10 times yesterday, but each time he had to make a circus catch, because of Orton's often under thrown ball. The TD? The long pass? All plays made by the WR, in spite of Orton's throw. I don't like this guy. Give me Grossman. At least he'll make a few spectacular throws.
3. Matt Forte is the real deal. Not only is he the real deal, buy Ascento (yes, I like it), is our entire offense. He can do everything, run, catch, and even likely punt and pass. I'm falling for him. No homo of course.
4. Defense played great at times, and off course terrible at times. In their defense, they just looked really tired. Brian Griese threw the ball 67 times. Almost 70 pass attempts? Thats crazy. I didn't even know that was possible.
5. Is it me, or is everyone punting the ball 10 extra yards this year? MAynard's suddenly got the leg of a Futbol goalie.
6. Brandon Lloyd has been upgraded from serviceable NFL WR, to NFL wide receiver.
7. Rashid Davis has been downgraded from special teams player, to Arena football league water boy. Can we end the Rashid Davis experiment? Please put in your most explosive WR Bears. His name is Mark Bradey. Sure, he will get hurt. But he's got to be better than Rashid Davis.
8. Mike Brown hasn't made an impact this year. Where is Mike Brown?
9. Kevin Payne reminds me of a slower and less experienced version of Chris Harris.
10. Danieal Manning didn't have a terrible game last night. Surprising to me.
Well, there we have it. In the end, Brian Griese beat us.

i hope the coaches comes to their senses and put Grossman in as the starter with Lloyd and Bennett, Clark as there starting WRs/TE before its too late! Davis is only a slot receiver at best. Grossman can at least put up a fight in shot outs.
Bears coaching staff sucks. I don't know about Bennett. But he's got to be better than Booker and Rashid Davis. I wish they gave Bradley another shot.
