Kudos for Griese - the Chicago sports media still sucks!

In the loss to the Vikings, Brian threw 2 balls that were exceptional: the 35 yd. to Moose for a TD with 2:56 left. Then, of course the 89 yarder to Hester which was a pretty rope - as good as anyone in the League could have done.

So the questions loom.

Where was that Moose when Rex was threading the needle to him time and again? Moose had 2-3 guys near him, Griese hit him on the numbers and he did his job and took the ball to the house. He never did that for Rex. Arguably, Rex threw better balls to him on a consistent basis for the first 3 games.

And Heaven Devin. Lovie just figured Devin can burn most guys on a fly route?

You put 1 or 2 more TD's in Rex's hands and he would still be starting.

Dumb things I've heard in the Chicago media...

Last week on the throw to Desmond Clark for a TD against the Packers: "Oh, the leadership Griese displays. The presence of mind to hit Clark, etc. Rex couldn't have made that throw".

Really?

That's what Buffone and O' Bradovich say. Are these guys blind?

Hey Johnnies: Rex has more touch, is more accurate, and has an all out gun when needed, than Griese ever had.

Please Buffone. Stop yourself!!!!

Listening to mid-day on the Score, today, a caller complained that Griese was getting a pass (no pun intended) on his 3 picks. He said that if Grossman would have done that, they would have ripped him as usual. And he is right.

The hosts were quick to mention that they "brought it up". Yea big deal. Like the rest of the Hate Rex media, you guys are so lame. You balanced out your feigned rip on Griese by saying "but what abut his yardage?". Lame. Like 89 of that went to Devin on one throw.
