Kathee Meade, Bears Super Fan



My "No Holds Barred" opinion. . . . . . .

Thank goodness for the Bear’s defense and special teams! It looks like our good ole’ boy, Rex, now suddenly realizes that there are some things he needs to fix about his game performance. Yeah, how about raising that 1.3 QB rating that came out of yesterday’s game, for starters? What took the boy so long to notice? Did you hear all of the booing he was getting? Was anyone surprised by that?

Honestly, I think every Bears fan out there was sitting on the edge of their seat during the entire Minnesota game with their fingers crossed, just like I was. Did you see the Bears fan’s reaction in the stands when the camera would pan around between Grossman’s multiple failures? I saw a lot of pure looks of disgust and head shaking. As I stated earlier in my blogs, The Bears have a great team – with only one hold-back. If, and only if, we had a well-rounded QB to lead this team, I know we would make it to the Super Bowl.

I’m thankful that we are the Division Champs, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t think we can go all the way with what we’ve got. God help us if we are behind in a playoff game because all we’ll have to rely on is our defense and special teams to make a winning difference. What happens, I may ask, if defense and/or special teams are having a bad day? Easy answer – we lose! No doubt about it. Chances are great that Grossman wouldn’t be able to pull the Bears out of it by moving the team down the field, into the endzone.

Let’s face it, guys. All that needs to be done is to move the ball down the field. How many passing yards by Grossman yesterday? 34? We’ve got what I consider to be the best field goal kicker in the entire NFL. Move the ball, Gould takes the field and there’s an easy 3 points for us. Do that 5 times per game, and you can pile positive numbers on the board that might make a difference between winning and losing. It’s elementary!

It was sad to see Harris and Vasher get injured yesterday. Partly to blame for that was the fact that our defense was on the field the majority of the time (and in a very cold temperature). When the offense goes 3-and-out, they get cold and stiff on the sideline and our defense has to play more than they should, leaving more time for the possibility of injuries. I hope Harris and Vasher can get back to the field soon – we’ll need them!
