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.

I have to agree with everything said here. The Bears should win any home game that they score more than 15 points in. The offense struggled at first, but played pretty damned well when it counted.
What really bugs me is that Tillman kept getting burned, so he moves Chris Thompson over to cover one of the best WRs in the game and has the best CB on the team cover the other receivers who only get the ball if Smith double or triple teamed. Why the hell would you put a second year guy who was inactive in every game his first season, and saw limited playing time this season, up against Steve Smith?!?! I like Ron Rivera, but what was he thinking?
