[CBFF] Bears pissed... err... traded their chances

[E. George Mucher III]

Man- I mean I really like what Benson showed us this past season, but  
I think it helped to have 2 different backs going, so Peterson will  
have to step up. I just hate the idea of resting the offense on the  
shoulders of 2 guys that are still proving themselves (Grossman &  
Benson). It was nice to know that you had Jones there to take some  
pressure off of Grossman if you needed it, although that didn't help  
us in the Superbowl.

I hope they have a plan for this, and I guess we leave it to Angelo,  
he has done well so far. Just this on top of the Briggs thing is  
taking away some of my hope of returning to the big game next year.
