A Glimpse of Hope?

Sexy Rexy Report: He looked better than he did last week, but that isn't saying much. He went 20-34 for 160 yards with a touchdown and two picks. In comparison, Derek Anderson of the Cleveland Browns went 20-33 for 328 yards, threw 5 touchdowns and only one interception, and he plays for fucking Cleveland. Didn't their fans used to wear brown bags over their face at games so no one could recognize them? Rex did better in the first half than the second, making me believe he needs to work on his conditioning.
The Good: Devin Hester was a manimal out there. If I had a choice between Devin Hester and Reggie Bush I would take Hester any day. Hester was drafted 57th overall and has made more of an impact than any other player taken in the 2006 draft. Also, the Bears defense held LJ to 55 yards rushing. People keep attributing LJ's poor performance to him holding out and skipping camp, but it is obvious the Bears defense is one of the top in the league. Urlacher recorded his first sack since the 2005 season, but to expect to see him getting to the quarterback more as he will be blitzing more this season.
The Bad: The offense. 239 yards on 66 plays is bad, really bad. Grossman has flashes of brilliance but he's leading the offense down the toilet. The offense has a strong, experienced offensive line, good running backs, and good receivers but they can't seem to get their act together. The only thing that saves them is the defense and Hester.
The Ugly: The only touchdown pass for the Bears was made to John St. Clair. For those of you who don't know, John St. Clair is 6'5", 315 pound tackle. I expect to see trick plays like this in elementary and high school football, but not in the NFL. I can't complain much since it worked, but it was definitely ugly.
