Bears Review and Back to Culpepper

Well, the Raiders didn't score a touchdown again. They blew a 6-3 lead with 4 minutes left to eventually lose 17-6.

The defense was spectacular, even with the absence of both Nnamdi Asomugha and Fabian Washington. The one big mistake was a deep bomb on which Bears' receiver Berrard Berrian beat Chris Carr for a long touchdown. I can't post video from the NFL on this site, but if you head over to NFL.com, you can see that Warren Sapp was clearly being held on that play. It should have come back, but honestly, who cares at this point?

The one good thing that came from the offense was that there is no possible way to ever justify playing Josh McCown ever again.

LaMont Jordan didn't even see the field for a single play this week. He was standing on the sideline with sweatpants over his game pants. The writing is on the wall and Michael Bush should be activated next Wednesday.

Daunte Culpepper will start this upcoming week against the Vikings. I'll have more on that in my preview later this week.

I am not an NFL coach but I think that this is one move I disagree with Kiffin on. Culpepper sucks, McClown (haha) sucks, and they have poor Walter sitting on the sidelines. They are paying all three quarterback right now....and paying Russell. That's a lot of money spent on quarterbacks!!! And in the mist of all of this, Kiffin is trying to come across as a no nonsense coach (if you don't perform, you don't play). BUT seriously, it seems like a pretty easy decision (I think a 3 year old could make it)! Trim the fat. Cut Mcclown, bench Culpepper for a rest of the season, and play poor andrew walterm, and if not, atleast develop Russell. Either way Culpepper and McClown should never see a snap again.
