Maybe the defense thinks we have him.

That’s why there’s always an open receiver.

At this point, I don’t know why you don’t. There’s really no reason to have confidence in Grossman, and we don’t need to stick with the “Rex is our quarterback” mantra for the sake of his self-esteem. He’s playing terrible football, and there’s no reason to keep him on the field.

Unless your name is Boomer. Then it’s Rex throwing “a coupla intercpetions and really cost his team the game.” Umm, he threw 1 pick, and it wasn’t really all on him. Tipped pass on a throw to a double coverage receiver, which would’ve been a great throw if the receiver caught it. Oh well.

boomer sucks

end of story

His stats are as good as Fields -- that's the sad thing

Don't want to be "the guy" but Rex's decision making is still terrible

he still can’t recognize double coverage or doesn’t think it applies to him. LOTS of balls could’ve been picked.

But. I guess our definition of “terrible” is different. Rex was bad, but not “first half against green bay in 2006” bad…

"Next year" sucks.

i've watched that game at least 3 times on nfl replay on nfl network

and i still can’t believe we really won that one.

don't worry

you’ll never be “the guy” ;)

grossman isn’t a world beater or even the guy we thought he was the first half of 06…but in terms of nfl backups i’d certainly rank him at the top of that list. not many nfl backups have the talent that grossman has and he has shown the ability to win some games, can’t say that for many backups either.

it wasn't double coverage

safety was over late and just got the tipp, he did throw into coverage though.

Something he actually did avoid for the most part today.

whatever though, his accuracy was terrible today, I’d like to blame it on the lay off, but probably just Rex being Rex

wasn't double

but sure was stupid. actually i think if booker’s hand doesn’t get caught on his mask on his way up he at least gets a couple finger tips on that ball.

great decision on the last offensive play though.

i don’t think grossman hasn’t been “accurate” for a long time.

and

so grossman has 3 tipped passes at the line in two games, would love to know orton’s numbers and the league average.

but sure, he’s tall enough.

by mike b on Nov 9, 2008 3:28 PM CST up reply actions  

like it's been said before

doug flutie and erik kramer were both shorter than grossman and favre is only an inch taller. it has less to do with height and more to do with grossman’s non-existent ability to move around the pocket and stay away from the defenders.

by lopey986 on Nov 10, 2008 2:23 AM CST up reply actions  

eh

that went a little better then i expected actually.

yet another game we were in until the end. god i hope kyle’s ankle is better soon, theres never a good time for your qb to get hurt but this is the worst time possible i think.

"Next year" sucks.

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Nov 9, 2008 3:06 PM CST reply actions  

yeah

toughest part of our schedule right now for sure. the pack, minny, Tennessee…not an easy road.

AP singlehandedly handing it to the packers today

with 225 total yards and a td to win it

meh 5-4 isn't horrible, considering I came into the season with NO expectations

However, I really hope they can get their act together and at least take the division

Talk radio should be "fun" this week.

Bye everyone. Hope next Sunday goes better! :-P

8 man fronts

How many times were we in 8 man fronts in this game?

The reason I ask is if we had 8 (or 9) in the box all day, we should expect Collins to have the day he did and we need to find a solution for a problem in our front 7. However, if we didn’t stack the box, then our secondary needs work. So, how did that play out in the game?

by bs1220 on Nov 9, 2008 3:30 PM CST reply actions  

same defense as usual

i didn’t notice a lot of a difference in the scheme today from earlier games, but they seemed to kill tennessee on the run. the big problem is, the way the cornerbacks play loose coverage. of course our d-line isn’t going to get any pressure when the qb takes a 3 step drop and always has a guy open underneath because the corner is 5 yards off of him.
