as to who wins i'm torn. it's too early to think about the draft but i've got a broner for andre woodson

most importantly the ref is swoll cat Ed Hoculi so I'll enjoy the game regardless.

Stockton and Baldinger are the worst crew for FOX, I wish the radio and TV were better synched up.

Forget Woodson, get Brian Brohm.

there's a chance that by the time of the draft andre woodson is the top qb on the board. however matt ryan of boston college will be the number 1 qb and in the top 5. brohm and woodson will be next and go from 5-10. the next group includes colt brennan, chad henne, among others. it all depends on where the bears pick and i feel that it will be between 8-14

scouts inc has them rated as Ryan-96 Woodson-95 and Brohm-94

And people said we wouldn't have won the Super Bowl with Griese? BULL ****! I'm glad Griese is shutting those people up, Grossman is DONE, hasn't been heard of in weeks and this Bears team finally has life because of Griese

If this team had any running game at all they would be winning more games. The Bears offense is relying on the passing game and Brian Greise to win games. Not that Griese is doing bad, i think the move was needed and the right call. But the Bears offense thrives on running the ball and is much more efficient when they can. Adrian Peterson had 5.3 ypc and Cedric Benson had 2.7 ypc tonight, which one should be carrying the ball more right now?

Trade up, give someone Benson and our 1st round pick for a higher pick. If they don't want Benson then give them something else. Then the Bears could be aggressive in the free agency and get Michael Turner.

It's been a very long, long time since the Bears have ever pulled a game outta their HighKnees when faced with such overwhelming odds against them in the final minute of play.

If anything, games like today's most often seem to go to the opposition performing miracles such as the one by Bears today.

Freakin Amazing.

I was reminded of Toledo's and Akron's last second improbable magic against NIU in key games which once meant something.

I admit it, I said Griese wouldn't do better than Grossman and I was wrong. I still don't think everything was Grossman's fault, but Griese is definitely playing better. A couple of interesting things...I think the problem with Grossman dropping snaps might have something to do with Kruetz - how can both qb's have problems dropping snaps? And did you hear Griese after the game mention his headphones in his helmet went out on the last drive? And he mentioned that might have been a fortunate thing!!! He called the plays and he threw downfield instead of across the field. I think Turner has got to go.

bears need to pickup some offensive line talent. although benson is struggling, his o-line isn't doing him any favors. they're just old and decrepit

Too bad they can't hold like they did on that last play on every play.

Adrian Peterson doesn't seem to be struggling when he runs the ball (4.5 ypc). Bears are 30th in the league in rushing offense. It's hard to believe that the O-Line is that bad considering this is the same line that helped Jones rush for over 1,200 yards last season and the same line that went to the SB last season. I agree that they should pick up some o-linemen but Benson is the main problem.

the biggest problem is Ron Turner, not Benson. The Oline is definitley struggling compared to last year. They're old and not getting any younger
Turner's play calling is so predictable. Hopefully the passing game the last few weeks will open up the run game a little more. I still believe Benson has the ability to be a good back in the NFL. He has shown numerous times in games, especially week 6 against a Top Rush Defense, that he could be good. He had 5 ypc in the 1st half. But then his dumb*** OC gives him 2 touches in the 3rd qtr.
He's not gonna be the back that we all wished we would get with the #4 pick, but he's better than his stats this year. I'd love a Burner-Benson duo but Angelo wont get rid of Benson for atleast one more season since it will show that he did a **** job in the draft.

Like i said earlier, somehow the Bears need to use Benson as a trade to get a higher pick in the draft so they can get a QB. I expect Griese will retire, Grossman will not be resigned, and the Bears seem reluctant to ever give Orton the chance so they'll need a new starting QB next season. Then by getting rid of Benson they could go after Michael Turner. Then use the rest of their draft picks to grab some more O-Linemen and whatever else they deem necessary.

Ron Turner really sucks...it should be so easy to move the football with the offensive weapons we have, and yet hes just now figuring some things out that work...benson proved last year that WHEN he has a hole he can get the tough yards...and i do definitely agree that he isnt living up to expectations, but at the same time, neither is the O-Line...at all. benson averaged i believe either 4.1 or 4.2 ypc last year when the o-line was blocking well and moving people. perhaps turner isnt putting benson in the best situation to succeed? either way, the running game HAS to get going if we are going to rip off a winning streak like we need to

Griese- 300.75 ypg, 8 TDs, 6 INTs, 62.6 COMP %, 7.38 YPA ... 86.0 QB Rating

Grossman- 166.6 ypg, 1 TD, 6 INTs, 52.8 COMP %, 5.63 YPA ... 45.2 QB Rating

nuff said ... The Bears have many more issues than their QB but I'm just glad I haven't seen Grossman's name in the paper for 4 weeks, what a relief. Makes me sick that guy actually started Super Bowl XLI for us, not saying Griese would have beat the Colts but I've been calling for Griese since the 2006 opener @ Green Bay and I'd start him over Grossman every time.
