Phil: In your late hits on Grossman I think you answered Hunter’s questioning of Manning’s MVP honors — given the very wet conditions in which they were playing, Manning deserves credit for orchestrating an almost mistake free offensive performance (once the slip-shod first quarter came to a merciful end); Grossman by contrast was trying to throw the ball much farther than conditions warranted. But I don’t blame him, just the mindless offensive coordinator who called the play. Why the Bears had no short passing game maybe you can explain; I can’t.
