Were we watching the same game? GO check out the stats after the first quarter. Yes Leinart played well in the first 15 scripted plays and we built a 14-0 lead. Then Grossman accounted for 7!! turnovers and Denny wouldn't let Leinart pass and we kicked FG after FG...then after halftime....Denny ran almost every play...Go read the recap...Bears defenders were asking EDGE.."What are they doing?" The coaching staff...we ran and ran...meaning Denny didn't trust Leinart to throw a pass even on 3rd downs! He did get us in position to kick a fg..but at that point Denny had no choice....I am just saying...we threw the ball like 6 times in almost 3 quarters(2-4)
Revisionist history. Just because they wanted to run the ball to milk the clock doesn't somehow mean that they didn't trust Leinart.
