Of course he is... Ugh

So who's playing LB today? Bostic, Briggs, Williams and SMC all out. Only Greene, Jones and Sharpton (who?) left. Could they line up Allen as an OLB? Probably won't see 3-4 lineups so probably not. This is probably going to be ugly. I think the key will whether the line can get pressure, Jennings can resemble his self of the previous two years (especially two years ago) and safety coverage. I'm wondering if McManis could help in the nickel coverage? He's a pretty capable player but haven't seen him in coverage. Man if there was ever a day Cutler needs to stay away from being "Hyde" it's today.

Sounds like he's questionable. Not sure why.

So will it be Jones at Middle and Greene and Bostic on the edges at LB?

So did I just see that now Williams is questionable? Holy crap! Guess it's time to see what the youngsters can do.

It's good to have Garza back since he's been a pretty reliable constant for all these years. He and DLP are pretty similar in play . Besides Garza will probably be gone after this year and DLP will be starting.

Yeah. Was looking at some highlight film from college on him to get some idea what we were in for. But I wasn't all that impressed. I fear with Tucker as the DC Jones may not realize his full potential. Sorta how Bostic seems to be progressing... Not. Maybe they'll put it together sooner than later. My fingers are crossed.

I stand corrected. 1-1. Still....

Body of work my friend...body of work. How many times am I reminded of that stat/fact whatever you call it?

But for that very fact, we are. And sorta negates your earlier comparisons to Cutler and Grossman. My point was that on playoff records alone, Grossman (so far) has done better for Chicago than has Cutler. Grossman was not a better overall QB. Never said that. Interestingly enough you remarked that Grossman "was not the reason the team went to the Super Bowl" and at the rate its going, and referring back to your last part (bolded) nor will Cutler.

???? 2006 NFC playoffs First round: bye (won NFC North) Second round: 27-24 win over Seattle in divisional rounds (win 1) NFC Championship: 39-14 win over New Orleans (win 2) Then Super Bowl 41 loss to Indy (loss 1)

Sticks and stones Cracker. Skills wise and pocket presence wise, Cutler is by far the better QB. They are about equal when it comes to decision making. But Grossman's record speaks for itself. Playoff record (while with the Bears): Grossman 2-1 Cutler 0-1

He did have a better record against GB than Cutler has. Even if you're right, the team is still 2-3 at this point. Interesting.

Good to see Roberto back in time to play against his former team. Although DLP has done well. But what I'm really intrigued by is the possible starting of Christian Jones. I look forward to seeing how he does in a full game. He looked a little raw last week in spot work but something tells me he could be another gem in the making. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...b4-2bc193050e61

Similar to how McCown could have been a better (not best) option in the current regime? That was more rhetorical but I suspect you or someone will respond.

I would almost think Grossman was better because not only did he win a playoff game (or two) he also made it to a Super Bowl. Others would make similar comments to include Brian Billick: http://thebiglead.com/2014/10/09/brian-bil...er-jeff-george/

Funny since in this above cited article there is another where Calvin Johnson is "frustrated" with playing with a bad ankle these last few weeks and being used as a decoy. Megatron doesn't strike me as any less a player than Marshall when it comes to toughness so curious to see the disparity in this instance.

Or in the case where he "miscommunicated" with Cutler and was quadruple covered when one interception was thrown...or not caught.

Pretty smarmy of you. In the context of this "discussion" that question has no relevance. And you know it.

Since I watch a fair share of Nebraska football I did see some performances of Suh while in college and don't recall his " dirty play" being as much an issue as it is/was with Detroit. Something tells me with Schwartz gone that could be more a thing of the past.

In reading the article from Mullin, I got the feeling Trestman wanted to actually call out Cutler more than anyone. It just so happened that looked to point at BM for making the mistake. I have to think Mullin was onto something since earlier in the season there was that other "miscommunication" with Bennett when Cutler threw the short pass behind him and was INT. There have been others over the years that fall prey to "miscommunication" issues that result in INT's. The receivers (and excuses) change but one element remains constant. Cutler.

How about this to add to the mix? http://www.csnchicago.com/bears/miscommuni...s-bears-offense

Just read up on him. Sounds like he has "ball security and poor decision issues". This would be better how?
