My question too. I didn't see it. Did they portray him in a negative way or talk about his troubled past? Frankly some folks don't like it when that stuff comes up even if they've overcome it. But if it's true and if it adds to the portrait, it's fair in my opinion. And given all of the shit that happened this week, even if it wasn't the best timing for Marshall, it's timely.

Do worry about it. Most here know what to expect from Terra.

Peanut, you'll forever be one of my favorite Bears. I wish you all the best in whatever it is your future holds.

Rub some dirt on it and get out there and play!

All class.

And you hated the pick. Go figure.

I would've fired him on the sidelines after the early punt block. But that's me. They actually played OK the rest of the night.

You can say that about any QB in the NFL. And most of them actually do throw interceptions, including Cutler. They're out there making snap decisions with 300 LB men trying to crush them. It happens. Don't get me wrong, Cutler has definitely been a disappointment more than once in his career. So I get where you're coming from. And I'm not going to go over the top praising the guy either. But last night was an amazing performance against a top tier team on the road and he deserves better than "Just wait, he'll suck next week."

I think only Marshall was close to healthy. AJ wasn't even 50%. Great effort by both of them just to show up.

Disappointed in you. The quote above almost sounds like you're rooting against him. I know you're not but it always gets me how some folks would rather be right than see the team do well. You're not one of those guys in my mind but you need to rethink comments like the above.

Whatever. At least I'm not crying like a bitch on this site for an hour and then have to backtrack everything I said. Didn't you say you were done with this team? If so, you're not a Bears fan. If so, you're a troll. Trolls get banned here. Better watch it buddy.

Amen brother. But it is kind of cute how the McCown lovers hold him so tightly. A big ol' man-hug for last year's greatest QB of all time. For 4 games. Then again, he is playing for Lovie this year so you've got to take that into consideration.

Did anyone else see Charles Barkley defending AP on the pregame this weekend? He said it's a southern "black" thing and everybody should back off and leave AP alone. For his comments alone I'll never respect Barkley again.

I love looking back at these game threads after the fact. The only one gutless around here was Terra and the others who bailed on the Bears in the first quarter. Haven't you girls learned not to post when you're emotional during the games? It only serves to make you look like complete fools later.

And Jay needs to show up ready to play at the beginnings of games! That first 28 minutes was ridiculous. But you can't argue with the results in the end. Bear down!

The texts he sent the mother prove he's guilty. He should be done in the NFL unless there's something we don't know that explains all this shit. But I simply don't see a way he doesn't end up found guilty and kicked out of the league.

Jesus H Christ! The ONLY time McCown was significantly successful in his career was last year and it was his first year in Trestman's system. People, get a grip! You can't have it both ways! There are outstanding WR's in Tampa and McCown is clearly god according to many here. So no, that's not an excuse. The fact is it was McCown's first game there this year and sometimes it takes a guy, even a good player, a few games to get their shit together. Far be it from me to ask that Cutler be shown the same patience though. I might get called a homer by ass-clowns like Terra. PS. Check Dan Marino's first year stats as a rookie.

I agree. At a minimum the dude covered up a murder. His character is certainly questionable. I wouldn't want him associated with the Bears in any way.

I think Cutler is a tool but he's far from sucking. Whether he deserves the money he's being paid has yet to be proven out, which is unfortunate given his age. But at a minimum, he's an overpaid, very talented, mediocre QB. If he plays up to his potential this year, which is what the bears were betting on when they gave him the new contract (second year in the same offense, good offensive line, yadda yadda yadda) then he'll be far and away the best QB in Bears history. But he's got to do better than he did last week because that honestly did suck.

I always thought Harbaugh was arrogant even as a QB. Never liked the guy. But he's one helluva coach. Ditka was the worst when it came to having a huge ego. Harbaugh learned from the best, in that regard.

To address your point directly, I'm a little hopeful we can see something out of Conte this year. He'll never remind us of Mike Brown but he might remind us of the Conte we saw two seasons ago... And that's OK with me. If he plays well enough, we get more pressure up front and our linebackers are better than last season, with decent play out of CB (assuming Peanut doesn't blow out a knee) we might have a middle of the road D which can be enough to get us somewhere this season.

Julius Peppers was in on a few plays last night but he certainly didn't make me miss him. Could be that he's just learning the new position or it could be that he's well beyond his prime and needed to go. Time will tell.

All I know is that the panic we saw here after the preseason loss to the Seahawks appears to have been a little overdone.
