It's a Win

Sexy Rexy Report: Hell yeah, it feels good to put up a Sexy Rexy Report again. Brian Griese got injured late in the first half and Grossman was put in. He went 7 of 14 for 142 yards and a TD to win the game. I'm glad Grossman got another chance and I'm hoping that if Griese looks like shit for another game that they give Grossman another chance.

The Good: We won, and the defense played well. We'll take what we can from the defense since they have been playing rather poorly as of late.

The Bad: Cedric Benson. He has continually looked like shit this season. I'm up for having Hester put in as a running back and see if he could perform something like Minnesota's Adrian Peterson. I realize he won't be that good, but I think he would be better than Benson.

The Ugly: Grossman had two fumbles, one of which came from his first snap.

It Hurts

Griese Chicken Report: His performance this week may be enough to get the quarterback controversy started again, but this time it will involve Kyle Orton. He threw for 4 interceptions today, and only one touchdown. He went from NFC Player of the Week last week to playing like Sexy Rexy this week.

The Good: Pissed Off at Da' Bears Blog was right that getting Olsen involved in the offense is good. Otherwise there wasn't a whole lot of good to be found. The defense held Detroit to 16 points which is a lot better than their first meeting where they let them score 34 points in the 4th quarter which was enough for an NFL record.

The Bad: The offense has looked terrible for almost this entire season. Benson has looked awful. He ran for a meager 50 yards and had a 3.8 yard average. The Bears aren't being able to force turnovers this season, which was one of their biggest keys to success last year. They're also having a hard time getting Hester involved in the offense, which could be the spark the offense needs.

The Ugly: The Bears are 0-3 following a victory, meaning they don't have any back to back wins this season.

1 Under .500

Griese Chicken Report: He threw for over 300 yards and didn't throw an interception. He only threw one touchdown, but it came at a vital time; an end of the game touchdown drive to win. His communication device in his helmet before the last drive, which means he called all the plays himself to go 97 yards and throw a touchdown pass. I have to agree with Jeff at Da' Bears Blog that Brian Griese is the Bears quarterback. I was skeptical at first of him, and thought that they should have given Grossman another chance, but after Sunday I have to say Griese has earned his chance.

The Good: The Bears earned their first victory over McNabb. McNabb had never lost to the Bears before this game. Brian Urlacher looked like his self of old, recording 8 tackles and 4 assists. Russ at Bears Gab points out that the Bears are back in the playoff hunt for now. The NFC North isn't looking that great, and the Bears may even have a shot of winning the division.

The Bad: The running game still hasn't picked up, even with Griese throwing for over 300 yards. Benson had 46 yards on 17 attempts, which is awful (this week's rushing leader was Watson with Cincinnati, who had 130 yards on 31 attempts). Peterson had 21 yards on 4 rushes, which makes me question why he didn't get the ball more.

The Ugly: Redzone percentages for both teams. Chicago went 1/3 and Philly went 1/4. The Bears really need to improve this, although it was nice to see the Bears D hold Philly to 1/4 in the redzone.
