There He Goes

It took about a quarter and a half, but Rex Grossman finally made that stupid, stupid mistake, fumbling the ball away, leading to a Seahawks touchdown. Nice.

R' Horowitz discusses exit interviews:
I would think that the frightened parents in the community ought to shorten the hours that their children are in school, offer more extra-curricular activities, clamor for more tolerance, invest in the educators of their children, and boycott the schools that dismiss children for misdeeds. The community leaders would do well to meet with the mental-health professionals and those who deal with the ‘at-risk’ teen population, perhaps even with the troubled kids themselves, and listen – really listen – to their advice. I would love to tell you that this is happening. It pains me to report that this is usually not the case. Those of us who deal with at-risk kids are consulted in firefighter mode by desperate parents and educators – but little time and energy is being spent in fire prevention. They are asking us what to do with the at-risk kids, but not what we think should be done for all our children.

  1. So? That wasn't exactly an impressive drive - every time he's pressured, he looks like a deer in the headlights. Watch for more in the second half.

  2. When Urlacher slaps his helmet, it means he thinks it's a pass.

  3. Hey Serach - Do you want to bring Elianna over for a playdate while this nonsense is going on? Bedtime isn't until 6:30 or so over here!

  5. There goes the Seahawks' season. Looks like Rex wasn't TOO bad.

  6. RF - Anytime there was pressure, he looked like he was dead. Considering how the Saints' pass rush did against the very mobile Garcia on turf, I think he's dead next week.

    DAG - Honestly: Right now, would you pick the Bears or Saints next week? I'm taking the Saints straight-up. ('Hawks easily covered today, by the way.)

    Also... this game was about Hasselback's inability to find an open receiver late in the game, and their going 0/7 on 3rd and short. Bears' coverage did a good enough job just long enough on those plays - the 'Hawks should've run more guys to the middle, and not down the sidelines.

  7. Fact is, Bears managed without a super-dooper quarterback and took the number one seed. That won't win you any championships, but it shows that they've still got a very good team beyond their QB. I don't think they'll beat New Orleans, mind you, but Rex may be just good enough to keep his team in contention.

  8. Sure - they're not a "bad" team... they're just not a great one. They'd be out of the playoffs in the AFC, and in the NFC, they'll be out after they're forced to play the Saints. Their hole on D? Deep passing game, especially when there's a good rushing attack with it.

    Meanwhile... how good is the SD offensive line!?

  9. i think with a healthy D Bears win against Saints. With key players out, it will be difficult.
