Finally, the time has come for the Chicago Bears to play a meaningful game. Okay, so the players and coaches alike will tell anybody and everybody that every game is meaningful…Yeah, sure, whatever you say. Ever since the Bears some how pulled that game out of their backside in Arizona everybody knew that the playoffs were a fore gone conclusion. Even after that miraculous defensive exhibition, an appearance in Super Bowl XLI really seemed like a shoe-in considering the JV Conference. So Rex had a bad game against the Cards…Then another, on top of another, then seemingly another. What was once a shoe in, ironically might seem a little far fetched at this point!
Yes, the Bears posted a 13-3 record, however if one really thinks about it in the three losses…What was constant in all three of them? Oh yeah, Rex Grossman was actually playing like a University of Florida quarterback that makes it to the NFL. With this goof, it’s feast or famine! There’s know in between…What ever way he gets rolling to start off the game…It’s no turning it off! On his good days, he looks like the next coming of Jim McMahon and on his bad he looks like what Chicago has become accustomed to seeing from its signal callers! It is quite apparent that the whole “manage the game” concept…Yeah, he doesn’t seem to be understanding that! Although number eight has no problems when it comes to “screwing up the game”…He has that concept down cold! Throughout the season, as much as Bear fans clawed their eyes out, (myself included) one thing that we had to fall back on was the notion, none of the regular season doesn’t amount to a hill of beans…It’s the postseason that matters, case and point last season! Well Lovie, here we are boy…Home field advantage for the second year in a row and still having no clue on what to expect from this team.
Now we all know Rex led you to a 13-3 record, so you don’t have to say that…It really doesn’t much matter anymore! Here’s some new questions for you to answer! “Will Rex lead us to a playoff victory, or for that matter two or three?” My guess is no! “Will Rex be on a short leash Sunday if he suddenly thinks he plays for the Seattle Seahawks?” My guess is again, no! Correct me if I’m wrong here, but Lovie, didn’t you take in the Colts-Chiefs game last weekend? I believe you did! So that means you had a first hand look of what will happen if you stick with Rexy way too long, now don’t you…God, I hope you took good notes watching that game! I bet if your buddy Herm had it to do all over again he would’ve pulled Trent Green. Another question I have…”There wasn’t any kind of parties or other extra curricular activities going on in Chicago this week to detour Rex’s full attention away from trying to prepare for the Seahawks on Sunday, now was there?” If the Bears do some how make it down to Miami…I can really see this becoming a major issue if the season does extend that far! Considering the fact that Rexy loves his glowsticks…South Beach and glowsticks go hand in hand!
Lovie, I just don’t know how you can feel so confident heading into Sunday’s game with , let’s face it….The worst quarterback whose team is left in the playoffs. That boggles me, hommie! Now is Griese any better? Who the hell knows? One thing I do know, you’re a defensive oriented team…That’s the meat & potatoes of the Chicago Bears! However, when you have a quarterback who, for whatever reasons continually over cooks the meal…Well, the meal isn’t going to be too tasty, now is it?
Here’s the bottom line Lovie… Chicago fans are the most loyal fans in the country…Although when trying to win games and achieve team success, loyalty falls on deaf ears! Loyalty gets you where Herm Edwards is…Most likely in attendance to watch you on Sunday! It falls on deaf ears and Sunday if you stick too long with Rexy, that silence that you will be hearing…No, you won’t be going deaf. That silence will be from an empty Soldier Field on the following Sunday when you were supposed to be playing for the NFC Championship…Good Luck Lovie! Go Bears!
Vote in LastRowSports.com Pick’em Poll this week which asks about “Cowboys Gaffes?” This is an interesting one considering what Tony Bobble did in Seattle! To find out you're choices you have to go to the home page and find out…You’ll be glad you did! Let’s just say voting in this poll is a whole heck of a lot easier than giving a cat a bath! NOTE: This isn’t a scientific poll, however by not voting in this non-scientific poll we’ll assume that you would rather give a cat a bath!
