I think my assessment is still spot on. Marginal but effective game for Rex, Thomas Jones had an excellent game except the fumble early in the 1st. Defense again played good, gave up a bit much on the run but held their own against a solid run team. Giants had nothing on defense. Eli stunk tonight despite having good blocking and run support. Good win for the bears.

I suspect you may see more teams leaving their deep man on 50+ yd kicks into 25 MPH gusting winds
okay, i agree that grossman 1st half looked terrible. but overall, marginal? disagree.

Rex Grossman 18/30 246 yd 3 TDs 1 INT

i'll take 3 TDs any day. i haven't seen enough of eli to say he's better or worse, but as far as stats go, they're almost equal.

when he's playing good, *all* of grossman's throws are extremely accurate and have perfect spirals. when he's off, throws sail high, float into defender's hands, and in general suck. but...i really think that his bad games will decrease a lot (not that he's had even that many bad games so far) as he gets further into his career.

i'm not saying he's solely responsible for the team's win, though. like you said before, the team is dominating.

Oh and I must add that I didn't watch the game since I was too busy watching Yao and Shaq go at it on ESPN but all I have to say is......WoW for Hesters 108 yard record! Guess he was trying to be like Vasher from last year?

Eli has a lot of the same problems as Rex - he gets in a funk and starts lobbing TERRIBLE passes and making poor choices. That's why they both have so-so TD:INT ratios. The difference? Eli can get out of the funk easier, it seems. Rex gets in the funk and just keeps lobbing up shitballs. In other words, if both QBs had a bad first 3 quarters, Eli might bounce back and come up with something in the 4th; Rex hasn't shown that quality (especially in the 1.5 losses where the bears weren't really out of it until the very end).

Blah. 10-0 over the Jets... solid game on Defense, and Rex and co do just enough to win.

I was helping sis-in-law move and didn't see the game at all.


I guess time to offline and on to ESPN.

+1 to the loss column... I'm not disappointed at all, i knew it would be a tough game. What i'm disappointed of is the play calling, leave it for REX to win the game? FCVK!!! Again, offense is very predictable, i really wish they mix it up more, change it up if it ain't working. REX, lacks velocity in his throws and his placement scvks, he also needs to grow up fast to have any success in the play-offs. Recievers are having a hard time getting open, specially with the time routes. Running game was working, why not try to stick it to the Patriots more? 2/3 on the east coast is pretty good, i'm sure alot of people were expecting less. Offense and defense, expect a lot of TO in a game that the Bears are involve in.
