GRIDIRON ASSASSIN Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I'll be checking out the Mighty Bear against the Lowly Niner tonight.... It will be interesting to see what Rex Grossman can do with the fecal matter he has at WR and TE, since the Bears don't have Thomas Jones or Deidra Benson playing tonight. I'm also interested in seeing how the Niners WRs and prized rookie TE do against a real butt whoopin' defense. Time will tell.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesownninjas Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I really want to see Gore... I rescheduled rehearsal so I can watch this. Is Berrian or Bradley playing tonight, or are they already hurt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I think Muhammed will be a good fantasy WR this year... Grossman and Griese will hit him downfield....doesn't matter if Grossman gets hurt... Griese may make some mistakes...but the offense should be almost as good..

GRIDIRON ASSASSIN Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 Bernie Berrian is a gametime decision with a groin injury. The singular pronunciation of Bear and Niner is a Chicago thing when two teams match up. I'm still trying to figure out what the Bears missed out on when Mike Singletary wasn't named head coach without paying his positional coaching dues. How are those Niner LBs developing?

Parents are from Chicago, been there countless times and I have a ton of friends in the Chicagoland area and I have never heard of this. RR? Gil? Am I behind the times?

GRIDIRON ASSASSIN Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Olin Kreutz is in Chicago - didn't make the trip. He's sick. Bernard Berrian is out on the field warming up - apparently he'll play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRIDIRON ASSASSIN Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Mark Bradley's early fumble sets up SF's early FG. Nate Vasher gets the wind knocked out of him as he nails Kevan Barlow low on a dump off pass. Rex Grossman gets an assist as he fumbles the ball to the Niners, who take it to the yard for a TD.

Was Grossman hit on the fumble? I see a few incompletions to Bradley. Are they badly missed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 The Bears are being outplayed in this game, bigtime. Alex Smith actually looks very good...he's made quite a few nice passes. Charles Tillman looks extremely bad. Vasher goes out with a lower back strain. Grossman's fumble was on 3rd and 3 and it was a muffed exchange, as he went to go and pick it up, it got stripped from him and returned for the TD. I'm sure Bradley's fumble would have been a review in the regular season, but it could have gone either way. Grossman looked like he was playing with so much adrenaline. He's played so bad that we're into the 2nd quarter, and he's still in there. As far as I'm concerned, keep the chump in all game and let him take a beating...see if he can deal with it. He just is making poor throws, poor decisions, and the worst part of the whole game is Turner's play calling....this team looks so bad.

GRIDIRON ASSASSIN Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Grossman keeps going for the home run, and ignoring his check downs... Maybe he's just seeing 'what he's got'. So far nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Smith continues to make good throws. Gore continues to look good and shred the Bears 2nd stringers now. I have yet to see one Bear player step up and look very good so far. We had better see Griese next series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I don't care that it's the second string, but the Bears at least have some life. Griese is a pro, makes decisions and puts the ball where it should be. This Rashied Davies looks fast on O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR? Gil? Am I behind the times? D, There's been a certain obnoxious radio host that does this, so it would appear that this GA believes it to be a wide occurence. I might reference it this way if I've tipped back a few, but it's rare. You're not crazy, YET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
