He's BACK



After a disappointing loss to the Titans Bears fans like myself are dying to the latest status on starting quarterback Kyle Orton's sprained ankle. Yes I know we just would love to see him play against Green Bay this Sunday. But let's face it whether you love Rex Grossman or hate him we are just going to have to deal with him if he plays in place of Orton.

Sundays game against the Tennessee Titans Rex Grossman's inconsistency was half the reason the Bears lost the game. Grossman in the first quarter was very accurate with his throws which allowed the Bears' offense to move the chains and score the first touchdown in the game. But after that Grossman was way off on his throws except for maybe about two minutes in the fourth quarter in which the Bears barely threatened to put something on the board.

I guess we can't put all the blame on Grossman. -The guy hasn't played an actual game since last December. He had one week to get reps with the starters and you have to admit that playing your first game in a while to an undefeated team that prides itself on defense and closing games certainly doesn't help the cause.

I believe that most of the blame can be put on the Bears' defense. Yes they did an excellent job defending the run, but they continue to allow yard and points to be gained through the air. The Bears allowed 289 yards of passing and this was the game changer. Another thing the Bears couldn't do was get to Titans' quarterback Kerry Collins. They barely touched the man and he can barely run on his own power. The bears got their first and only sac in the fourth quarter.

Bears got to get their things straight. Rex Grossman is back for now and and we can't afford more inconsistencies from either side of the ball.

MVP:

The MVP for the game is Kerry Collins. He out passed the Bears' defense and managed to maintain great time possession of the ball which resulted in 3 touchdowns in a 21-7 victory. I would have to say the the MVP for the Bears would have to be Matt Forte. He kept the offense alive and brought enough attention to the Titans' defense to spread out the field and create scoring opportunities for the Bears' offense- which they did not capitalize on.

GO BEARS!!!
