Let's hope there's no complacency on the team...we definitely need the team to give 110% no matter who's on the field. Problem is, when we spank the Bears, the mediots won't recognize the accomplishment for what it is. Instead, they'll be sure to say something along the lines of..."the real test is in week 2 against Dallas." . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Hog Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 A tough break indeed for Rex and I wish him well in his recovery. As for the Bears, we shouldn't be feeling sorry for them as a team. They will surely come into FedEx Field with a chip on their shoulder and will be out to prove to everybody that one player doesn't make or break a team. If anything, these are sometimes the types of games you want to stay away from. Regardless, I can take comfort in the fact that we are led by a coaching staff that will not allow our players to ever overlook an opponent like years past.

fuji869 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Just heard that on the NFL Network. That is too bad, two years in a row. Glad the Old Ball Coach did not draft him in 2003. :fingersx: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Truth Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/CHI/8730842 Bears' Grossman breaks ankle, out 3-4 months NFL.com wire reports ST. LOUIS (Aug. 12, 2005) -- Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman broke his left ankle early in the second quarter of a preseason game against the St. Louis Rams and will be sidelined three to four months. Grossman, who played in only three games last season before being shelved by a right knee injury, was hurt with 11:08 to go in the half on a 4-yard completion to Darnell Sanders. After being flushed out of the pocket by Jeremy Loyd and Trev Faulk and getting spun around by Faulk, he got back to his feet. While limping, Grossman signaled for a trainer. He then sat down and grabbed his left knee in pain, and slammed his helmet on the cart before being taken off the field. The Bears used four quarterbacks last year and have used at least three in six of seven seasons. They could be stuck in a similar predicament this year given that backup Chad Hutchinson is unproven. General manager Jerry Angelo said in the offseason that he was committed to having a veteran backup on board, but the team passed on Kurt Warner, Brad Johnson and Jay Fiedler. Grossman was 6-for-11 for 52 yards before leaving the scoreless game. He was replaced by Hutchinson, who led the Bears to their only first-half score on the same drive.

QBkilla56 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Now we have to gameplan against that monster of a QB, Chad Hutchinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBkilla56 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Yeah its bad for us cause one of the best back ups ever is going to start now. Chad "Surferboy" Hutchinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsD Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Was very sad to hear this, I feel bad for the Bears faithful (which generally is a nice crowd). Good for us tho in the opener! I know they got Orton but maybe they would like a vet like Brunelll!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSilverMaC Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 That blows for them. I respect the Bears as a franchise for their proud history, and feel bad for their fans. Orton looked good in that last game, but that was against a third string D. Maybe he can step up, cause the chutch ain't the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDICTOR Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 This doesn't change the Redskin/Bear outlook one bit. I don't see a hill of beans of difference between Hutchinson and Grossman. Niether has really done anything in the NFL. If anything, Chad has more experience but both will end up as perpecutal backup QB's because both have zero starter quality. The Bears running game is more of a threat than the passing game and that is also in question right now with Thomas Jones being their only threat. Benson is yet unsigned and its virtually too late for him to get to camp and make an impact. The Bear offense should be pretty poor for that first game, especially considering they are playing the highest rated defense in the league from last year in yards per carry.......3.1 yds.

RonJeremy Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 That sucks! I don't like to hear about injuries. I GUESS this bodes well for the Skins Week 1. I am curious who their starter will be? I will go out on a limb and say the rookie Orton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Man, what a shame for the Bears. I really like Grossman, he really was looking good last year before his knee injury and was looking good this year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallsux Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Originally posted by OrangeSkin Wow...if he's out till week one, our defense should eat up a Grossmen-less Bears squad. Not that he was too intimidating in the first place, but Chad has the reuputation of being the only Cowboys QB we've beaten in the past 5 years. Actually, I think it was Quincey that we beat, Not Chad. I think. :paranoid: I could be wrong, but it seems to me I remember it being Quincey.
