I was frustrated with him many times this season, but like you said, the guy is just starting out. John Kass in the Trib has been sticking up for his all along, and I respect that. I haven't heard any of the fans in Chicago laying the blame on him, though.

To say they acted "cockey" when they were ahead is ridiculous. How many football games have you watched in your life LA?
