It really wasn't Rex Grossman's fault. Well, it wasn't entirely Rex Grossman's fault. Even though it was just one game against a team that won 14 games last season, Sunday's game was enough to show that this year is going to be a tough one for the Bears offense.
Last year the Bears built a very good offense around Rex, with two quality running backs, a good receiving core and one of the leagues top offensive lines. This year, the team did upgrade their receivers by adding Greg Olsen and moving Devin Hester to offense (though we don't know what either of them is truly capable of yet), but none of it will matter because of their inability to run the ball or get consistent quarterback play.
The Bears are still going to win their division and they still have a good chance of returning to the Super Bowl because of their fantastic defense. But what was made clear on Sunday is that as long as Rex and Cedric Benson are leading this team, an NFC championship is their ceiling.
