Another week, another loss
At 3-3-0 now, following a loss to the Brown Bombers, who remain behind the Hakkapeliitat on the merit of points scored alone.
Rex Grossman, the quarterback sensation of the year, and one of the factors of the resurgent Chicago Bears had a not so good night against the Arizona Cardinals’ defense. No touchdowns, and six turnovers. Yes - six turnovers. Two lost fumbles and four picks by the opposing secondary.
The Bears were saved by the second factor of their success - defense. The second half of the game was dominated by the Bears cornerbacks, returning picks for touchdowns.
So, the Bears remain undefeated 6-0, together alone on top with the Colts who enjoyed a bye this week. Both teams are coming off very shaky games, so talk of a perfect season is not appropriate at the moment.
And it wasn’t really Grossman’s off night, nor my failure to run Deion Branch, who got his chance in a depleted Seahawks WR corps. Nope, even with Grossman replaced by Eli Manning and Deion’s two sixpointers counted in, the Bombers would’ve still opened a can of whupass on the declining Hakkapeliitat. Sure could have used some sacks from the otherwise reliable Philly defense, or more than PATs from the Rams’ Jeff Wilkins.
