Over throwing---Back foot from fear of getting gang raped by 4-275lb D-Linemen Bad Mechanics---^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Holding the ball too long---it's easier to get a 1st down from 2nd or 3rd and long than on defense after an interception. If he got rid of the ball, then we'd bash for throwing a pick. The line hasn't been giving him enough time either to get out of the pocket. My cup is half-full, but the line needs to do a better job and give him time. If he gets time, we all see what we can do.

We saw the problems we had last year and were mad. We still won 12 games, won the division, and were a torn ligament away from the Super Bowl and we still bitched and moaned. Who wants their team to lose a game? Every year we predict the Bears schedule and not once have I ever seen anybody predict a perfect season, yet when we get one of the losses, we complain on what could have been done. Things happen over the course of a game and season that just happen. NE lost and they let up a lot of points. I'm sure if we look at their "in-game" threads of ablow ot win, we'll see something about a bad play where the fans are bitching.

Terra...nothing is that ugly!!!

Cutler can't do shit to make the line better. It's not his job to make the line look better. It's the line job to make him look good. Put it this way, if I was hitting you in the head with a hammer over and over, the next time you were with me, you'd flinch because you'd think the hammer was coming. So Cutler gets hit/sacked/knockdown over and over becaus ethe line doesn't block well, so the next time he drops back to pass, he will throw of his back foot to stop the hammer. Once the line gives time, Cutler can start hitting the defense with the hammer and the WRs will look good.

I agree...we should have kept him a strictly return man with the 2/3 plays on offense as a decoy or on the reverse.

You should follow the O-Line....they don't block anybody....ZING

Connor, if you do leave, you will be missed, no doubt. However, this sight is about having discussions on opinions about issues/non-isues concerning our Bears. There will be some negativity and conflict along with positive items. You shouldn't leave due to people who you deem negative. You have disagreed with some of my posts, but not once have I took it personally or wanted to leave or even bad mouthed you. It was your opinion. And like I stated before, your opinion is what makes this board going besides the Mods. I truly hope you reconsider. If not, thanks for all your comments. I hope you know that after you retire, Terra will write a book about you and depression and how you just didn't want to be part of this board anymore. Lith and myself will defend you with our posts.

But Terra Phillips hired him!!! And if the writer had quality paper, the book may have been better...

This guy needs weapons (WR), defense (OL), and someone to develop a plan for him to do well (OC). If we continue at this rate, we're pissing his career away and squandering a huge opportunity.

We consistantly miss though. It's almost painful to look at the draft and see players that were taken behind our busts...especially ones in that are successful players in the same position: Mark Bradley (39) vs Vincent Jackson (61) Danielle Manning (42) vs Roman Harper (43) Just little $hit like that...not big names but names that are better than what we got.

If not, we should start it and put it in his head. Then the voices that said "sign Roy Williams" can tell him to retire

Would never choose another team, but the McCaskey's need to make some better decisions when it comes to hiring the personnel that puts the product field. JA and Ted aren't getting it done. If ownership hired better people, you know everyone would be happy. Success on the field silences all critics, Week 2 & 3 performances rallies lynch mobs.

Totally Agree. The 2 biggest priorities need to be OL and WR. I think Harris and Merriweather might be a good tandem, but Steltz and, possibly, Wright need to go. Steltz is not good at all. But with Harris and M-weather, I would bump the safety to 5 and get another OL w/ 4.

Yes we were happy with Taylor but it was a bust. We were happy with many of his moves which turned out to be busts, failures and whichever other terms for crap you'd like to use. The line of success for a good GM is being able to find successful talent. Taylor, Manumaleuseless, Archuleta, and numerous draft picks that were wasted are what is making JA's mark on this franchise.

JA's first draft was '02 but he got the job in '01 after the draft...Tillman was '03.

At this rate, you can add Cutler to Martz' rap sheet

Can we get a lineman 1st?...lol

When management makes a decision that we disagree with, we rip it. That's what we do, just because the McCaskey part of the Halas tradition keeps giving us ammo to rip, doesn't mean we don't respect Papa Bear or anything he did. Even if we had community ownership like GB, we would bitch about the moves the majority made that we didn't agree with. But to bring up JLo...that's just low...Her music, not her, sucks balls and her acting pleases no-one. However, bringing her into ownership would be a morale boost for the O-Line, because FINALLY, the would collectively have more talent than her...LOL.

It's honestly not Cutler. Cutler is right for the Bears, Martz is not. He wasn't in Detroit, he wasn't in SF, and guess what...he's not here either. Martz calls the plays and Tice coaches the Line doesn't block. JA supplies all that wonderful crap for us on offense. You can't throw the ball if you're on your ass. It's true, I checked the rule book. I will give you the point of running more, but still, the line has to block. It's mostly on Martz, IMHO. If you're 1st and 10 inside the 5, you should RUN THAT DAMN BALL. Don't empty the backfield so even the blind kid in the 500-level at the White Sox game knows we're going to pass. So you can sit there and "hut" your little heart out, but if you're backfield is empty, it's already telegraphed what you doing.

What's the worse that can happen? He doesn't finish routes? Drops the ball? Doesn't get open? Honestly, we have a shitload of cap space, we're not using it on O-Line or anything else. As Lith would say..."Let's kick the shyt out of these tires."

I wonder if Angelo reads this stuff too. It would be great if he could see what the fans think. MODS...email JA a link to the posts so he can see what he should be doing!!!

THIS!!!!

Our Secondary sits back and waits for the QB to make mistakes. Front four pressure is not an option, but a must for this system to work. It's easy for WR (at least on other teams) to get to open spots on the and even easier for QB who has all day to throw to find him. Making the QB make hasty decision causes turnovers, but our front 4 ain't doing it the past 2 weeks.

No offense, Jason, but I don't think it takes an official to tell it was a horrible call. The closest person to Knox was the punter and that block couldn't have been cleaner if it was showered with bleach. Thank you though for breaking down like that. However, in the words of my wonderful catholic grandmother, "THAT CALL WAS HORSESHIT!!!"

Not that it mattered but how many snaps did Bell take yesterday? I honestly can't remember any.
