The D has been solid for the most part, but that whole "break but dont bend"(yes I meant to write it that way) D drives me crazy sometimes.

Well, that's very similar to Seattle's defense, even before all the injuries, and, the strategy Seattle played the Bears last week.
Grossman only threw the ball down the field 20+ yards (distance in air) 4, maybe 5 times. If he was behind or forced a few more throws up there, they would've been picked off, and his confidence would've plumetted, never mind the turnover...so the CHI coaches made sure he kept that under control.
On the first drive, one went right through SEA's Babinueax's hands...if he catches that Grossman would've been a different QB the rest of that game, and SEA, the way they played, would've won that game.
If NO can force Grossman to throw it downfield more, and as a I sad, the defense be patient and not let guys get behind them, a good chance Grossman throws multiple INT's, and you may see Griese come in ans CHi fans boo Grossman off the field in the later stages of the game.
Man it ticks me..that play, and Hasslebeck's horrible decision making and brain cramps on two plays (fumbling the snap on 4 and 1 and not getting 6 or 7 yards on 3-10 with under a minute to go, instead taking a sack and losing any hope of a long FG try), and its SEA/NO. I don't SEA would've won against NO, although you never know, but in any case it would've been a consolation to have kicked out the overrated Bears.
