Well, the 2008 schedule is out. It doesn't look like an easy stretch this year (Colts, Bucs, Eagles, Titans, Jags). It could be worse, but with Grossie the Terrible under center don't think we couldn't lose any of these games this year (Falcons, Rams, Texans).
Here it is:
Sept. 7 at Indianapolis
Sept. 14 at Carolina
Sept. 21 -vs- Tampa Bay
Sept. 28 -vs- Philadelphia
Oct. 5 at Detroit
Oct. 12 at Atlanta
Oct. 19 -vs- Vikings
Oct. 26 Bye Week to find another QB
Nov. 2 -vs- Detroit
Nov. 9 -vs- Tennessee
Nov. 16 at Green Bay
Nov. 23 at St. Louis
Nov. 30 at Minnesota
Dec. 7 -vs- Jacksonville
Dec. 11 -vs- New Orleans
Dec. 22 -vs- Green Bay
Dec. 28 at Houston

I say we win 9 or 10.
What do you think?

I'm less concerned about the Colts, Bucs, Eagles, Titans, and Jags than I am about the five primetime games.
You have to get over the Grossman thing. There are no other reasonable options and he is the most capable QB we've had in the last 20 years. Everyone talks about Orton's spectacular record - how about this:
"[Grossman] Has guided Bears to a 17-6 (.739) record, the best regular season winning percentage of any Chicago QB dating back to 1961, while starting 23 of 24 career games played,"
His first full season after huge injuries and he went to the Superbowl.
I do remember the fumbles and bad snaps, but the bad snaps happened to ALL THREE QBs last year, so maybe the focus shouldn't be on Rexy.
This year, we'll have a new o-line and, while they might not be Chad Johnson, new receivers that might actually get free and try to catch the ball.
If Rex has a good year, will you get off his shit?
Bears will win five or six-No offensive line and absolutely no running game while every team will run all over us again
Hey, If Rex turns it around and becomes what Angelo keeps telling us he is, I'll be more than glad to issue a public apology and hop onto the Rex train (train-Rex?).
That being said, I think that there's a better chance of Cedric Benson rushing for 2,000 yards this season.
Oh and I'm gonna say this for the 847th time: The Bears got to the Super Bowl despite Rex, but he single-handedly lost it for Chicago (Okay, Turner's tepid D helped).
Why do people hate on Orton and fuckin want to blow Rex. I am not saying that Orton is the answer but he has just a good of chance of being the answer as Rex.
Let em compete for the role and see who is better. If Rex can’t keep his shit together hang em by his thumbs in the North end zone and be stoned.
I to will offer an apology if Rex gets it together. I am just sick and fucking tired of him getting gift after gift and make stupid fucking mistakes.
We have bigger issues than QB. Yes bigger issues than QB. We are a team that has more room in the salary cap than any other team. Now they are trying to tell us that it’s because they only want to have players who want to play for the Bears.
I guess said players should do it for less money for the privilege. What the hell does fiscally prudent mean? When you aren’t signing players. Well agents see it as a way to squeeze the team for more money. Even Urlacher is asking for a pay raise. If you don’t use it the players will want it.
These guys an’t, or at least there agents aren’t, stupid. If you aren’t going to make the team better to win and they have to play on a shit team. They want to get paid to stink.
I will be watching every game but I do not feel good about this season. I don’t Angelo has it in him to pick a offensive player to save his life. I also don’t our owners really want to win. They just think it’s swell to the team daddy had and think of the good ol days. When players made 5 bucks a game and people wanted to play for the Bears because they were the Bears.
I am going to the second game against Panthers.
Go Cubs
Until they get a line worth a damn it doesn't matter. That is where the main problem has been. But I do think it's obvious Grossman is the better athlete than Orton. His arm is stronger. His playmaking ability is greater. That's why the staff and players defend him. Or put another way, Orton is a journeyman playing up to his ability and Grossman is decent QB talent struggling with a shitty offense that gives him no time and few options, which forces his own mechanical bad habits.
If your offense sucks, yes, maybe you want a consistent journeyman under a conservative (boring) offense who minimizes mistakes. If your offense is good then you want someone whose risks might pay off. If I thought Grossman "sucked" I would say so. Maybe he's no pro bowler, but he's better than Orton.
Yes, I am scheduled to blow him sometime in October.
