Grossman has a nice history against the Packs, other than the fact he played a half of the NYE game.
try not to stress the few negatives over the many positives, thats how i tend to look at things.
TItans got a target on their back after beating GB... Bears better show them whatsup next weekend.

theres still more than hope for us if orton returns healthy however
seeing how bad rex sucks now is depressing, also whatever the **** has happened to urlacher is disheartening, and for real we gotta have some new defensive schemes the cover 2 aint cutting it

I'd file that under the category of "What choice do they have", Rex could implode at any time, as he has been known to do. The defense knows they need to play their best to win with him in the game. They've been nice and comfortable with the bend/don't break scheme with Orton and the offense doing their job.

I agree with the comment on Urlacher's play, it's absolutely sad to see. He's a total NON-FACTOR on almost every play. Call it a decline, an injury, playcalling, or maybe that fat contract is weighing him down, but whatever it is, it's clear his best days are fading into the rearview mirror REAL fast.

Rex led a comeback, yay Rex?!? It was the LIONS, nothing counts against a team that bad unless you lose to them. A comeback should not be required to beat them.

This Titans game on the surface has a lot of implications, but the Packers game the next week is much, much bigger. While I don't like losses, the Bears can afford to lose to Tennessee, but they have to beat Green Bay if they want to a. be treated seriously and b. see January.

well its been 8 games so far and the only game i can remember actually winning a game by a solid margin was against the Lions and everyone was praising KO god because he tore them into pieces.

the defense should have strapped it on from the beginning instead of having to worry about rex grossman, which I don't think it should be that big of a worry if he can emulate what he did the 2nd half of last season(excluding gettting hurt)

if i am mistaken sounds like you are a KO supporter/rex hater, than KO's best game of the year so far was against the Lions and that shouldn't count, right??

That is what a lot of people on this board said.

His Vikings game was just as impressive, though.

its ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.... anything can happen. This league has gone bizarro world, so don't hang the hat up yet... I don't want to call it quits after what the Bears have gone through.
SO lets rally and show these Titans what black and blue really means.

i wanna add some food for thought, but i was thinking (obviously an unbalance of games)..... how many TDs has Hester had with Rex starting QB vs KO at starting QB.
Since the D picked up their game with Rex coming in..., maybe Hester will have his break against the Titans with Rex in??

I'll say again, nothing counts against the Lions, they're THAT BAD. I neither support KO, nor hate Rex, but I've seen enough of both to know what type of QB they are and what kind of performance we can expect from them. KO has become a much better QB this season, but Rex seems stuck in a rut, not learning from his mistakes and he can't help the fact that he's short for a QB and will see his balls batted down more often. He's also a gunslinger, who loves to fire the ball in there on arm strength alone, not great for the short passing game where touch and timing are more beneficial. The offense just stalls more often with Rex. Rex loves the home-run deep ball, where KO is content with stringing the long drive together.

No huddle = GONE

Shotgun = GONE

Checkdowns = GONE


We are in trouble I dont think everyone realizes how much Kyle took pressure off the O-line with those key abilities . We are playing a great pass defense and a good run defense and are now about to put the pressure on the running game . Unless our defense steps up and plays their best full game so far we wont have a chance.
