Last night was the first chance this year for me to watch the Bears play. Opening weekend I was working while they played the Chargers, and the Chiefs game was up against a Ravens game, so it wasn't shown here in Virginia.
After watching them play last night, I wish I had found a reason not to watch the game. It was an all around failure, although I can't help but think that the defense might have been better if the offense had shown up.
Frankly, my faith in this team has been shaken. So far they have looked very ugly in the two losses against San Diego and Dallas. The one victory, against an abysmal Kansas City team, didn't look much better. Grossman has only rarely shown any signs of competence, and Benson is no Thomas Jones.
It pains me to say this, but I think it may be time for the Grossman era in Chicago to come to an end. As it stands, I don't think he'll ever overcome his weaknesses, and will never become a stable option for the team. Its time to put Brian Griese in, and see if the season can be saved.
