Nor is he learning much under Trestman. About those Midols?

How "womanly" of you! Take a Midol!!! Lol

As Greg Gumbel pointed out the largest gain in that series was a 39 yard penalty. Ouch.

Sure glad we got rid of Lovie to potentially go .500 in two seasons! Oh...and sign Jay to a huge contract!

0-4 at home! And after two turnovers by Jay!

Trying to figure why Greene hasn't been playing more. He's been all over the place and done well.

Now THAT is how you do it Jay! That last play he beautifully looked through his progressions and hit a wide open Forte in the left flat. Much better! Now D needs to stop them.

In other news how bout them Rams? 21-3 up on the world champion Seachokes?!

Make it 3.5 for Ratliff. At least he came to play.

You know that teams have been playing on grass since the game was invented right?

I suppose the INT was someone else's fault? Maybe Holmes, maybe Bennett? Perhaps the turf? Please someone make another excuse for him.

Who the hell is this Ratliff guy? Three sacks in one game??

I wanna see more of Sharpton and the third stringers (Jones, Greene etc)

So is it possible he'll do it the next time he scores?

Have to say I agree. He played a key role, I feel, in the SF game especially. He seems to be a good spy back with mobile QB's. Although that won't be as much the issue these next couple of weeks (Tannehill and Brady). If they were able to have Sharpton come out and call the plays last week and lead the team in tackles, with only a few days of team practice, I feel good about SMC's ability to contribute. Upon reflection, I think what is slowing down the Bears D, especially now, are the older players on the team especially in the LB corps. (Briggs and Williams).

Ah come on, don't give up that easy. It was a 'tongue in cheek' reference to someone calling Campbell the check down king when he played for the Bears. And cost less I might add. What TD said and Cracker agreed to is something I have observed as well. Where in the past Jay would throw to what seemed anyone who was in the area, he has gotten better to appear to go through his progressions. He really had an issue with locking onto BM and hoping he would bail him out with some miraculous catch. Marshall even commented on this earlier this year saying he preferred Cutler throw it to him when he wasn't double/triple covered. At any rate, it wasn't until McCown was able distribute it more effectively in Trestman's offense did it appear Cutler realized he had a blue chip receiver in Jeffery. In fact after he returned to playing and this year he has been doing better at trying to get the ball to both BM and Jeffery. The WCO by its nature isn't really a large gaining offense, more a dink and dunk type. Cutler, by his nature, is not a dink and dunk QB so there had to be some re-tooling with his skillset and his hardwiring. At times he shows progress; last week and SF being prime examples. Where other times he shows regression; Green Bay, Carolina and Buffalo being the examples this year. And just as a side note, despite the fact the team won against the NYJ I didn't come away feeling they did all that great. No the blame was not all on Cutler, but he didn't help. Until the progress overshadows the regression I won't sign off as a believer again.

That makes him equal to Jason Campbell...

Interesting. In one sentence you infer I'm "lazy" then in the very next sentence use the word "likely" to suggest George was better than Cutler. Where are your stats to dissuade me to think otherwise? ESPN didn't make the comparison, Brian Billick did. I just happen to agree with it. Here's another interesting nugget (article below) for you to digest. In it the article refers to the fallout that McDaniels and Cutler had, why was that again? And since the article didn't point it out and we're on the subject of "insubordination", what was it again that Cutler said to (at least about) Martz during that game three years ago? And the obvious diss Cutler displayed towards Tice during that game two years ago? http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2229466...herschel-walker

Congratulations on your looming milestone. All that makes you is crotchety and your opinion even more crotchety. Especially when you discount differing opinions by calling the authors "females or Midol takers". At some point in recent history both Rodgers and Cutler were being sacked at alarming rates. In fact at one point Rodgers was having it happen to him more than was Cutler. Yet he (Rodgers) continued to win. You and some of your ilk would rather offer excuses for Cutler's sustained sub-par performance. At some point I was a believer and willing to accept these excuses, but started to see what others did, that Cutler is flawed. One thing Cutler has not done in his time since being with the Bears is complete a season since 2009. Not even last year with the first of Trestman. He did, however manage to help in the overall 'winning season' for years 2010 (10-5), 2011 (7-3), and 2012 (10-5) - all of which were during Lovie's tenure by the way. But despite this hasn't been able to win, let alone finish, a playoff game. Until that time I'll be a "hater" (I personally like doubter) and guess I'll pop the Midol.

In terms of skill (to this point); Jay Cutler = Jeff George.

Hell in the short time he played for the Bears Jim Miller was better. Injuries were what stopped him. I think it safe to assume McMahon was better if not for only a short period. Cutler's book isn't closed yet. He can still pull out a winning legacy if he continues on the right path and leaves his old habits behind.

Maybe you should check the date of this post versus what I was referring to. Billicks comparison to George was last week where your nugget was from last month. Billick did comment on that and thought it was premature , in fact he gets mocked pretty regular on NFC/AFC Playbook for it. Maybe he'll have to change his mind again later on? Guess we'll see .

Like Brian Billick said: Jeff George.

Dude you're an ass. EOM.

But then again we haven't seen this group of three LBers play together. So maybe with them lined up against better QB we'll see? Found this article that speaks to it a little. And it gives us some insight to who this Sharpton kid is. Who knew about the Texans connection? http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/22296...n=chicago-bears
