Not much talk - plenty of trash...

First the good news: the Bears are NFC North champs! They're going to the playoffs and it looks like they'll have home field advantage all the way to the Superbowl.

Now the bad news: Rex Grossman finished the game with a 1.3 passer rating. The theoretical maximum passer rating is 158.3. A big factor in that passer rating was 3 interceptions. That's 14 on the year. And, yet, the Bears keep winning. Not because of Grossman, but in spite of him. I'm starting to think that Rex has money on the opposing team. It's like he's daring the defense and special teams to find ways to win.

With the exception of a few stellar games, the Bears would have been better off with Kyle Orton in the pocket playing not to lose the game rather than trying to overcome stupid turnovers. I was calling for Grossman's ouster during the preseason, then ate my words early in the season, now I vomit them back up for you here. Unless Sexy Rexy can pony up and stop making stupid plays, I say sit him and bring in someone to hand the ball off to Thomas/Benson. They, at least, seem to be somewhat effective.

I hope Rex proves me wrong and lights the Rams up next week. I don't need Sid Luckman, I just need not worse than our second- and third-string QBs.

Go Bears!
