Thank goodness for the tenacity and talent of the Bears defense that brought us to yet another victory. It looks as though our “overrated” Brian Urlacher led the defense on 11 of New York‘s 17 snaps on third down. In addition, he had 11 tackles by game-end. Here’s a prediction - Urlacher might end up being the first declared overrated player that is chosen as the NFL’s Most Valuable Player! Wouldn’t that be a hoot?

Our not-so-sexy Rexy completed only 5 of 12 passes for 7 yards in the first half. He overshot open targets again and didn’t fare well in the pocket, even under moderate pressure. I have to say, this is not the makings of any Super Bowl quarterback that I’ve ever seen. Grossman is going to have to up the ante in his performance in the coming weeks, in an effort to dispel fan’s faltering faith in his ability.

As I’ve stated in the past, the rest of the Bears team is right up there with the best if the teams in the NFL; however, if a quarterback can’t come out there and scramble in traffic, make connections, make something out of nothing when a play falls apart and make all-around good decisions, it doesn’t matter how good everyone else is. Simply, because you won’t be able to see how good they can be if the play ends in the QB’s shaky hands. I believe I’m not the only Bears Fan to hold back a bit in my confidence in Grossman’s ability. Like Marcus says, he’s not a Peyton Manning or a Tom Brady.

Some good news about Grossman’s game -- Thanks to Coleman’s slip, Grossman was able to complete a TD pass to Bradley, who made a great run into the end-zone. I felt that Bradley played superb throughout the entire game and proved that he has what it takes to put points on the board. Another good thing – NO TURNOVERS!!

And I can’t NOT mention Thomas Jones, who had 121 yards on 23 carries. I just knew he would come around eventually. He is doing a fine job in increasing his yards per carry numbers. I hope he only gets better and better because we need him, pushing forward for yards in our running game.

One more thing – what was with the decision to go with an on-side kick? Was the Special Teams Coordinator really drinking water in that water bottle of his, or was it something else?

Tied with the Indianapolis Colts! Go Bears!
