Do the simpleton Jay haters realize that Jay had us in position to win but for our D giving up a 4th and 8 FIFTY YARD TD? Oh, and they gave up a TD not playing to the whistle? Oh, and Jeffery fumbled. Jay played his god damn heart out today, made plays and even after all that shit he was still within a jump ball Hail Mary of pulling it out. If that makes me a Jay defender then sobeit. As far as I'm concerned I'm being rational and all this anti-Jay stuff just help morons feel better about themselves. I know it's easier to blame it all on Jay than on our squad walking away from a live ball and giving up a free TD. But you know what, despite it being easier, despite my personal dislike of Jay, I know what's right and I live in reality land. Idiots be damned.

And he didn't make one tackle all game! Bring on McCown!

I agree with much of what you say above but I think Lovie's D given the same circumstances would've been significantly better. They were his guys, it was his scheme and they would've played for him. Tucker doesn't deserve another year if you ask me but I expect him back.

Perhaps a sign the team is planning to move on without Cutler? Think about it. Less mobile McCown, a guy Cutler hasn't hit more than once a game all season with a pass, an offensive player not named Jay gets signed up first. Could be nothing or it could be the first sign of things to come.

Merry Christmas all! Here's hoping your stockings were all full of toys and treats! And may the good lord smile on our beloved this Sunday. Amen.

Let's dispatch with this fabrication immediately. First drive, a run, a scramble and a sack. Second drive never happened, Hester fumbled. Third drive, two runs and a one hop pass to Bennett who couldn't come up with it. That's one Cutler "bad" pass and we were down by 21. No picks. His scramble was him trying to make something happen. The sack wasn't his fault. Not that one. I don't want to be a Cutler apologist, I just want fairness. He's not my favorite Bear. I dislike him personally fairly often. But his team gave up 54 points last night! Jesus Christ.

I stand corrected. The team did apparently take the week off.

This D is brutal. Injuries can only provide so much of an excuse. I'd seriously consider firing Tucker. Say what you want about Lovie but this doesn't happen to his D. Or his ST.

Everything you say above is 100% accurate. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning wouldn't have performed much better last night. The entire team deserves to be fired. Is Trestman all that? Not sure anymore.

Don't waste your time with the haters here. In their minds it doesn't matter we were behind 21 before the game really started. Somehow Superman Josh would've put up 55. All that poor play on ST was Jay's fault. The O Line not being able to slow down the pass rush because they knew we were going to pass, also Jay's fault. The D giving up 54 in their minds somehow comes down to Jay as well. Tough to take this site seriously when our QB gets the main fallout after a 54 point game against us.

Sigh

Ha, but his knee was down. We need a drive here or it's time to get ready for the Packers.

You guys act like a QB having a little rebel in him is a bad thing. Where would the 85 Bears be if #9 was a yes man?

Obviously. And to Alaska, it's clear to me the dopes will never completely go away. Not on this site, others, or on talk radio.

The "article" in question doesn't contain a single quote by Trestman.

You probably should have checked the stats. Marshall and M Bennett for 6 receptions each. Alshon for 5, E Bennett for 4. I don't give a shit what the targets stat says, the receptions stat shows a damn good distribution. But all of this is irrelevant. The only people talkin about McCown being better than Cutler are dopes on the Internet. The professionals are singing Jay's praises for a reason. Sorry for being so blunt but I'm sick of this BS.

Ha! Me too. But with that said, I did expect Lovie to get another job. He wasn't perfect, wasn't a great coach, but he was good at a number of things and Houston could do a lot worse. I wish him well.

I think we can afford to go "Best Player Available" in the first round and then I expect us to go hard after defensive players for a while. So if a great center slips to the Bears spot in the first, they'd take him. More than likely we'll stay away from TE or QB and I don't expect them to draft a WR either in that spot. After that, you can expect D Line & D backfield. With that said, I don't really have a handle on what's available out there in FA in those spots. It's generally cheaper to find players in the draft though so I don't expect the Bears to break the bank this year on FA's unless it's Cutler's deal we're talking about.

My ex-wife, a tiny gal, used to talk about her experience at a Lions game in Detroit. Lions fans were throwing beer on her and her girlfriend. Takes real class to throw things at a woman. I couldn't agree with your sentiments more. Assholes, all.

I think he's been practicing all along but he's not seeing contact. So I don't think rust will be much of an issue. Unfortunately if he makes it back this week or next, he'll be really fresh. My hope is they continue not to get clearance from the doctors. our D is scary bad and Rodgers, even with a little rust, would be tough to handle. It would open things up for Lacy too. I'm just as worried about a revitalized Packers team in the playoffs as I am for that one game against the Bears. I don't want them making a run. We need to take them out!

Don't. PS. It's OK as long as you root for the Bears.

I think it's completely fair to compare his stats to those guys given the reason for the comparison. Those are the stats Cutler's agent will be bringing to the bargaining table. I think Cutler's team is hoping to improve those (pad them) a bit during these last two games. We'll see....

Answer the question! Does Cutler get to decide who he has with him on the field? What patterns they'll run? What the blocking schemes are? My point wasn't specific to FB either. The guys who see the field and go out into patterns seem to all be getting their catches. How do I know this? Your hero Josh has generally focused on the same 5/6 receivers as Cutler in the games he played in. There were two games of his 5 where he hit more than 6 guys and they were always one offs like the reception Rosario got against the Boys or the one Kyle Long got against the Queens. Admittedly 7 total receivers got hit (including Bush & Fiametta) during the Rams game but we were getting our asses kicked so that hardly counts as a normal game. Face it, with this being Trestman's first year, it seems like he's limiting the offense a bit for both QB's. We don't see 9 guys getting involved like you might if Manning was playing QB. Maybe it'll be that in the future. This offense is just a baby and it's already wildly successful. So be a man and admit you're wrong.

And horrible O Lines, coordinators and WR's. My point wasn't just about this year. Those things above applied to most of his earlier seasons with the Bears and the D this year.
