Oh the doom and gloom!

My friend mediaburn says:

... I hope this loss doesn't fire up a quarterback controversy (I say this, even though I've already heard it mentioned at work today). Let Grossman learn from his mistakes. I love that he's agressive, but he's got a lot to learn, like you can lob a pass over a 10'4" Jason Taylor.

I haven't yet heard calls for Brian Griese to replace Rex. I've heard a lot of wondering about why Rex wasn't pulled from the game when it was clear he was too shaken to recover the game. I don't agree. I think you need to give a young quarterback every opportunity to rescue a losing game. I'm sure Lovie hoped that Rex had learned some lessons and patience from the Arizona game. Obviously he hadn't (maybe he has now). Besides, as we learned last year, with a defense as good as ours, you can't write off any game. Granted, the field position the offense (and sadly, often Rex) gave up to Miami requested truly superhuman skill to reverse, especialy considering the serious case of missedicus blockitus going around the defense.

I have also seen predictions of 7-4 by the end of the East Coast Road Trip. I'm not so pessimistic. Rex has been Sexy Rexy for 6 games this year and Hexy Rexy for only two. They have won difficult games this year, I think they can take care of Eli and crew next week.

It's gut-check time boys! Go Bears.
