What did they have to lose? Uh, how about the game? They were only down by two at the half.

Until the pick six, the Bears were looking at the very real chance of winning that game. Grossman didn't perform nearly as badly as revisionist media hype would have us all believe....

It's extremes with that game... Like nobody can agree on what actually happened. Grossman did play awful, especially late in the game. So the media is right on that account. But he was doing ok for most of the game, and the Bears were in it until the end, despite all the mistakes they were making. As a team.

Besides, you know how Lovie Smith feels about Rex Grossman. He's their guy.

Put Schaub on the roster, and that tune picks up a new verse in a hurry...

You have to be kidding me. Not being able to accomplish the qb/center exchange looks pretty bad to me.

Just saying, the score was close enough at that moment that the Bears could have won. Never said the dude looked like a mirror image of the other team's QB....

Although in reality Manning's stats weren't eye-popping. He hit it when it counted, though.

That game really wasn't as close as it ever looked on the scoreboard. After the first 15 seconds, Indianapolis outscored them 29-10.

Yeah... Up 5 with a few minutes left to go in the game. What a blow out.

16-14 at half.
22-17 in 4th quarter.

i agree that the score wasn't as close as the game looked, but the score was what it was. the reality is that the bears, despite all the bad stuff, in the 4th quarter were one score away from taking the lead.

and if we're being technical, it's really 22-10 if your're going take away Hester's TD, you have to take away the colts pick 6. both cheap td's.

agreed. that was pathetic.

but i would also point to the Bears Defense. they couldn't get off the feild. the colts dominated the TOP. they had the ball for the entire 1st half of the 3rd quarter. nearly a full hour in real time went by between Bears possesions in the 2nd and 3rd qtr.

the defense gets a stop or two...who knows. that game was in doubt until the pick six. end of story.

That had as much to do with the offense's inability to stay on the field as the defense's bend but don't break play.

it's kind of like which came first, the chicken or the egg? i think the lack of possesions for the bears affected Turner's play calling...like he had to make something happen cause he didn't know when he'd see the ball again....which is why they went away from the run.......just conjecture......but it all played in to the colts hands.
