Re: Why not Grossman?
 

yep...fair enough...that defense was good, but this one is better

Re: Why not Grossman?
 

What I didn't realize though, till i looked at your link, was just how much better that 2001 offense was? Where is Jim Miller when you need him?

I can't believe it but this makes sense.

and yesterday anyway the pass protection was real bad.

Other than yesterday the O-Line has played extremly well. They are not recieving nearly enough credit for the Bears success. Thomas Jones & Adrian Peterson are having great seasons thanks to the run blocking by this unit.

During the winning streak, Orton has been relativley untouched. I can't count how many times Orton has sat in the pocket for 5 or 6 seconds before throwing. The O-Line completley dominated the Panthers very solid D-Line. John Tait made Julius Peppers become virtually invisible.

This line is night and day from the joke of a front 5 that was out their last season. Amazingly, it's most of the same guys, they've just improved greatly in the off-season.

MyTurn2Raise,

The 2001 divisional game where the Eagles waltzed into Chicago and pummled the Bears senseless was one of my favorite Eagles games of all time. Thanks for bringing it up.

P.S. I have nothing to add to this thread, except to bring up painful memories for CHI fans because my birds suck this year and I need something to boost my morale.

Oh yeah, it was great how Hugh Douglas takes a cheap shot at Jim Miller and ruins any chance the Bears have of winning the game.

It's great when a new rule is put into place and you can pin point the one play that caused the rule change. Thanks to Douglas's cheap shot you can't touch the QB after an INT, unless he's trying to make a tackle.

PokerFink, it's one of my favorite games ever too.
I forever [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] the Eagles for it.

Re: Why not Grossman?
 

If Grossman gets healthy and get reps, you need to figure out whether or not he's better than Orton. You don't need a good QB in Grossman, you just need someone better than Orton going to the playoffs.

Oh, and the Giants are the best team in the NFC, but they may not get that bye. Come on Seahawks...

the real question is how bad are the Bears going to tank it in the playoffs this year?


[/ QUOTE ]Give me an NFC team that is a clear favorite over the Bears.

Harder to agrgue with after last night. The Seahawks team I saw against the Giants could not beat the Bears.

I'm not sure if last night's game was just one of those where the Eagles quit and now the Seahawks will think they are better than they are or if the Seahawks played well made the Eagles quit and picked up the confidence they need for the playoffs.
