So you're suggesting that Ralph Nader or H. Ross Perot should be starting for the Bears?

At least Schaub took responsibility. Can't blame the guy for trying to force things-- I keep forgetting he's but a pup. He'll learn. And BEFORE we get to the Super Bowl.

omg I just said Super Bowl in reference to the Texans. bad! bad! [hitting expectations with a stick]

ah, if only Jacoby made it the last 20 yards on that punt return. Then Schaub wouldn't have to do his Rex Grossman interpretation.

being at that game kicked so much ass.

The Texans were 4 injuries and one dumb INT from competing with the Colts - and while I refuse to accept moral victories, that's about the best kinda loss you can have.

Anybody else catch the horrilbe calls in the Dallas-Chicago game? How can you just go to half with 2 seconds on the clock after a 4th down sack AND penalty? I mean, is the NFL some pick-up league? In my opinion, you HAVE to come out after half and give Dallas the last play of the first half. It could have, but did not, had a been a huge play in that game.

I sat in my living room last night chanting "griese, griese" along with the crowd at Soldier Field. And then I stopped. And said aloud to myself, Hmmm that's not much of an improvement. Grossman is to Florida Gators what Rob Johnson is to SC. But Orton--he of the odd facial hair--he at least held the offense together, albeit in a totally not exciting fashion in 2005 when the Sex Cannon was injured.

I don't know--the three of them--it's like who is the lesser of the three evils.
