[CBFF] You Grassy Knollers might be onto something

[Azbearfan34]

I am sorry to hear about what Rivers said to SD.  I understand he wants to 
psyche his guys up, but come on.  You can say whatever you want about Rex, 
but he was under as much scrutiny as I have ever seen be placed on a QB, and 
he handled it very well last year.  Did he handle it perfectly? No, but as 
far as I am concerned he handled it as well as could have been expected. 
Would I have loved to see a few better throws early on in the SD game? 
Yeah, probably on a couple .. but he was anything but the reason why we 
lost.

Yet Matt Leinert and Alex Smith both have much worse games on Monday night 
and not a word was said.  I guess the young QB thing still applies to them.

Rivera is a tool, and the SD players all chirped too much after receiving 
such a gift.  I hope we play them again .. but part of me hopes that 
overhyped coach follows his usual pattern and doesn't even make the 
playoffs.  I am a big NE fan this week.

The St. Louis game proves that Rex is not a mental midget.

I was a big Rivera fan  - as I'm sure many of you recall - but I have
soured on this guy.  The pre-game show on WBBM this past Sunday
reported that Rivera went up to greet Olin, and our boy just walked
away without saying a word.

Love it.
