If the Lions defense is so bad, how did it keep Shaun Alexander and Pro Bowl QB matt Hasselbeck out of the end zone????

For once I have to side with Duds. All we heard after week 1 and before the Lions game was how great the lions defense was...how they would now challenge the Bears for the division after their amazing showing against Seattle.

The Bears beat the living snot out of them and all of a sudden...oh its the Lions who suck and it has nothing to do with the Bears being good. Lions are horrible!

If the Bears go in and beat Minnesota I guarantee you the next thing we hear is how horrible Minnesota is and how terrible their defense is. The Bears will not get any sort of credit unless they beat seattle in week 4 and do it convincingly. Then people will take notice.

As for the ******* who wrote this article...he's the same one who proclaimed that the Bears should bail on Grossman due to his performance in the preseason. He knows very little about football...especially when he tries to base the quality of a player on whether they get drafted in fantasy leagues. Most of us are realistic enough to know that Rex Grossman will probably never be a "fantasy star," but that has no bearing whatsoever on whether he can be a very good and very succesful NFL QB.
