It isn't about his numbers. It isn't about the victory. It was about a stadium reborn and a team revitalized. Last night Rex Grossman announced his intentions to every one of us in Bears land: he's going to take this team into the playoffs and he's going to find ways to score points.
Don't call it unimpressive. Don't call it mediocre. Last night Grossman was masterful. Ask Muhsin Muhammad. Ask Justin Gage. Ask Ron Turner. Ask Patrick Kerney and the Falcons defense. Yeah, he got lucky down at the goalline but Grossman's right...doesn't he deserve a little luck?
Next week will be something. In Green Bay. Division in our grasp. First-round bye attainable. And the first Rex Grossman start of 2005.
18 held down the fort but this is 8's team. And it makes me fucking teary-eyed to write it but here goes....
Hey 8, it's Packer week.

#4 jeff said . . .easy now, folks-- if the corner had held on to the ball, people would have been yelling about how rex throws picks while kyle doesn't make the mistakes that kill a team. don't go crazy thinking he's the next coming of peyton manning; the bears are still about d and that's fine by me

#6 Noah Brier said . . .Of course we're about defense but Kyle would never have gotten the team into the red zone. With Rex, he'll complete passes and keep the defense off the field.

#7 max said . . .Oh, and the defense played pretty good too . . .

All i can say is that when Rex went out there to the huddle to start the second half, Soldier Field just exploded. . . It was beautiful.
