there were many frustrating things about this game.
It's clear Cutler wasn't 100%, he had a hard time getting anything on his throws. Way too many hit the ground. We should have held Jay out 1 more week and let his body fully heal.
Way too many drops on catchable balls
Sick of watching teams cheep shot us, and take late hits on our QB and no flags. Well we got one, late, but Detroit was doing it all game long. Seemed like every time Jay threw there was a guy taking a shot on him after he released the ball. The hit on Jeffery, after he got up was freaking blatant, refs looking right at it and no call, even if the defender didn't see him go down and get back up (the announcer's excuse for it) his back was turned to the defender isn't that come under the rule of hitting a defenseless receiver???. Opening kickoff Hester is shoved well out of bounds and no flag. Player safety may arse!
This was the most poorly coached game this year, It was clear late in the first half that Jay was not right.... but we kept running him out there. Whether it was him refusing to come out of the game trying to tough it out or not, someone should have made that call to take him out for his own health. Being tough, and trying to play through pain is one thing but when you are hurting your team to do so is another. Jay trying to gut it out hurt the teams chances in a winnable game that would have set us up in a good position to take the division. Instead we blew one, and now are effectively 2 games back of Detroit who has a cupcake schedule going forward.
Perfect end I guess to a sucky weekend. ND blew it vs pitt, my fantasy team is getting beat by the Denver Offense, and the Bears lost a big game, and tomorrow's Monday.... ugg.
