    I agree, Grossman is a fraud and needs to be kicked off the team. hmm, maybe the Texans could get him.

    Are you kidding? He is actually WORSE than David Carr!

    If David Carr were QBing the Bears yesterday, they would have beaten the Colts!

    Flame away!!!

    I actually agree with that. with the possible exception of Eli Manning, no other QB in the league has done so little with so much.

    not really a Dig at David Carr
    but
    Indy's Defense played very well yesterday
    and they were the reason Grossman looked so bad
    I think it is a grave disservice to them

    Indy did not force him to botch a snap or throw two horrible interceptions. The second was thrown up for no reason and returned for a touchdown. The first even Simms was saying what a horrible throw it was. Berrian was open by 5 yards.

    Well there was a reason, it was a stop and go cept someone forgot to tell the offensive coordinator that Indy was in a Cover 2 Zone for almost the whole game and that stop and go's usually work better against man def.

    the second part of that equation was the pathetic 'stop' run by Muhammad.

    The third part of that euqation was grossman's fault for not realizing that the CB had not bitten on the fake and then proceeding to lob one up there (which would have worked if the CB had bitten and given Muhammad a couple of steps).

    I don't know how Grossman didn't recognize this since he locks onto his primary guys all the time and I know he was watching Muhammad the whole time. If he had zipped it in there with the cushion the CB was giving to Mushin, he woulda had an easy 15 yeard completion. Unfortunately he failed to recognize this, even though he was staring at him the WHOLE FRIGGING TIME FROM THE SNAP.

    So to conclude, there was a reason, it was just not a very good one.
