Bears Struggle

Seems like there is a growing frustration in Chicago with the offense and the uncertainty of the QB situation. Rexy got the start on Saturday and was largely unimpressive. Much of his performance can be attributed to the pathetic offensive line that caved under the pressure. Rexy seems frustrated with the line, his play, and not knowing who the QB is going to be. In some ways, it seems like Rexy feels like he should be given the job because he has been with the same coaches and system for the last 5 years and they know what he can do.

Apparently Orton fared better in Seattle and led a good 2 minute drive to end the first half. I didn't watch the game and only saw limited highlights but from what I have read, the Bears are struggling.

The line was horrible last year and apparently they haven't improved this year so far. Forte couldn't get any running lanes and the QBs were under constant pressure. The way it is shaping up right now, it looks like it could be a long season in Chi-town. Get ready for the boo birds, Bears.

Right now, it looks like Orton will be the starter. Lovie will make the right choice.

The Bears need to find a way to be decent on the O-line.

Yep, Orton is the guy. I have no real problem with him. If he manages the game and the D plays big it will be like it was 3 years ago.

I don't think he has as big an arm as Rex, but he tends to be more careful with the ball.
