Well Damn

Sexy Rexy Report: Rex looked bad. San Diego's running back, LT, had more touchdown passes than did Rex, and LT only had one. On the plus side, Rex only threw one interception and he didn’t fumble a snap and lose the ball. People complain that he is inconsistent, but I don't agree with that. I would say he is consistent, consistently bad. He will have some good games, but that’s not enough. Rex is the opposite of Super Bowl quarterbacks; they have a few bad games, Rex has a few good games. The Bears can't win a Super Bowl with Rex, unless the defense performs at an unheard of level.



The Good: The defense made LT look like a high school level running back. Last year's MVP ran for 25 yards on 17 carries. Tommie Harris was quicker than he has ever been. He even made it across the line before the center could snap the ball and caused a fumble. The defense looked the best that they had in several games. The problem was that the offense couldn't keep the ball long enough to give the defense a break, or even move the ball enough to give San Diego poor field position.



The Bad: Where to start? Grossman was bad, and the running game was abysmal. Letting Thomas Jones go was the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen the Bear's management do. In 2005 he rushed for 1335 yards, and in 2006 he rushed for 1210. The only reason he had less yards in 2006 was because they were trying to get Cedric Benson carries, and the reason Thomas Jones is gone now is because Benson was drafted 4th overall in the 2005 draft. Instead of swallowing their pride, the management decides to get rid of the better running back and show case their prized pick. Anyways, the only bright spot for the offense was the offensive line. I would rank them right behind the Patriots line as second best in the NFL. We can only hope Olsen helps as much as he is promised to. It was just nice to see the Bear's draft an offensive player in the first round of the draft. Devin Hester not getting the ball much also didn't help.



The Ugly: Mike Brown's tendons are apparently made of old rubber bands. He is now out for the season for the fourth straight year. He had an interception and a fumble recovery before he got hurt. He's one of the best defensive backs in the league when he's on the field, but now his vacant spot will be filled by the average Danieal Manning. Also, defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek is out for the season with the same injury. He sustained that injury with out being touched. At least when the opposing team hurts a player you can be angry with them.
