Valuable experience for both sides

Yesterday's game should be an excellent lesson for both young quarterbacks. Both lost - Matt Leinart lost literally and Rex Grossman didn't have anything to do with the win. Both were stellar performers in college football, and both need such games to grow into real NFL quarterbacks. I could say that Rex was getting overconfident with 5-0 lead. I could say that Matt was getting overconfident with throwing four TD passes in first two games (all of them in first quarter). I don't know for sure. The only sure thing is that both had their asses served to them on a silver plate during the Monday game.

And of course, Bears' defense finally got together and Urlacher did what he does best - chase guys who carry football across field and not make any fouls while doing that. Can't say that Cardinals didn't deserve to lose - if you don't play until the last minute, you can expect anything in NFL. But finally they showed that they have some talent on both offense (except Edgerrin that averages 2.7 yards per carry instead of his 4.1 career average) and on defense.
