I do think, however, that, even though he pulled it together after his 3 for 15 start, Rex Grossman is just most definitely not a starting quarterback in this league, and they're on the fast track to nowhere until they remedy that situation.
Also, am I the only one that thought this was one of the most physical, hard-hitting contests in a long time? They beat the hell out of each other. Deshaun Foster in particular took it hard. Very entertaining game.

Please do not blame this game on Grossman or the offense. If the defense had played anywhere near like they did in the regular season the Bears would have won. Grossman led us to 3 TD scoring drives. When was last time during the season that happened? True, he was off for a quarter and a half but as soon as he got on track and we scored, the defense would just give up points to Carolina.
Charles Tillman probably had his worst game of his career and why Rivera didn't put Vasher on Steve Smith after Tillman had been burned time after time is beyond me.
The defense and it's coach is to blame, not Grossman or the offense.
Hats off to Carolina though. They have one playmaker on the entire team, but he is so good it may take them all the way. That is, of course, Steve Smith.
