Krenzel is in!

With him in, they drive down the field and score. Not sure how much of that was CK (although the announcer exclaimed at one point that Krenzel was throwing balls where the receivers could catch them, that Bears players weren't used to that, lol), but nonetheless, their first points of the game. Bucs only up 6.

I know it's fantasy, but I wouldn't know how to process everything if Craig turned out to be a successful NFL QB.

Craig vs. Brian Griese. Factor in my dislike for Tampa Bay, and here's hoping he pulls this out. Not that his teammates are helping much with the penalties.

--edit--
Maybe I'll change my nick.

He was under a tremendous amount of pressure, but despite that, his composure was great. The commentators made comments about how he seems much calmer than what you'd expect of a rookie in his first start, with guys like Rice getting inches from taking his head off on every single play.

Tangibly, his passes were a mixed bag. Some nice and sharp, on target. Others were familiar a bit in that they were too high (a high pass tipped by the intended receiver was his one pick). He had another that was behind a receiver that could have been picked as well.

I came away thinking that he looked pretty good in there under the circumstances, but the stats seem to suggest otherwise. The announcers seemed to feel he did a decent job. Will be interesting to see how he does next week should he start again.

Intangibly, the Bears offense moved the ball with him in. Something they haven't otherwise done much.

He could be making his first start in the NFL, on national TV. :banger:

Krenzel, who led Ohio State to an unbeaten national championship season in 2002 and was 24-3 as a Buckeyes starter, could get the nod for Sunday night's game against the 49ers at Soldier Field.

``I thought for a rookie coming in and playing for the first time I thought he did a lot of good things. I think he managed the game well,'' Smith said. ``He made some bad plays, some bad throws, but I also thought he made some good decisions and made some good throws and he wasn't overwhelmed with what was going on.''
