The Chicago Bears defeated the San Diego Chargers yesterday due largely to their defense and special teams. According to the AP, "Brian Urlacher showed why he was the NFL's defensive player of the year ago, intercepting a pass on the game's third play from scrimmage and returning it 64 yards for a touchdown. Then, near the end of the opening quarter, Rashied Davis took a kickoff the length of the field, going 100 yards for another TD." Thoughts about this Chicago Bears victory?

Not to take anything away from the Bears, but where was the Offense?...The big highlights were the D and the special team...Grossman was average...Thomas and Benson were not on the field...and the receivers didn't show me much.

According to this story, "Bears quarterback Rex Grossman, a shaky 3-for-11 in the preseason opener last week against the 49ers, looked sharp late in the second quarter by hitting passes of 24, 14 and 10 yards to drive the Bears to the Chargers 24. But when he tried to hit Gabe Reid in the corner of the end zone, Marlon McCree cut across for the interception... Grossman finished 7-of-14 for 83 yards. Brian Griese took over in the second half, played two series, completed 2 of 4 passes for 16 yards and threw a touchdown pass before Kyle Orton entered the game."

Grossman almost had a TD pass, and Griese did have one, so its not like the Bears offense was completely nonexistant. However, you've still gotta think they want to play better than this. I wonder which QB gives them the best shot to win right now. Should they try out Griese with the first team?

The O was not playoff worthy...They can't live just off of the D...I was not impressed....and of the three I'd take the two Purdue boys over the Florida boy.
