    This is nothing like our recent past, the losing is but this is a whole different offense that will not be fully functional until at least mid season if  not next year. The defense will be up to speed once Mack and Smith are up to speed, 2 more weeks for that. The offense will have good times and bad times, but the pieces are in place for a full arsenal of good. It is just going to take time. Nagy is learning so he will screw up to but he's not John Fox or Trestman. We're walking up the stairs, its one step at a time.

    You're right.

    This morning would feel a lot different if it had been any other team at any other location.  Because of that, we should just cool off and remember that except for one time ('72) every team that has won a Superbowl had at least 1 loss.

  2. We can't be mad they didn't throw the ball deep AND mad that they didn't run the ball more.  That doesn't make sense.

    I think they were trying to throw it deep but Trubisky couldn't handle it in the second half.  There were a lot of errant throws and him pulling the bull down to run it too early.  Definitely saw once or twice, guys 20-25 yards deep waving their hands as he's scrambling early and netting 1 yard.  The answer was run Jordan Howard more once Trubisky was struggling and let him figure out what spooked him during the week here.  That's it.

    Hopefully, Trubisky figures it out, first game of the season plus with these guys, and all that.  

    As frustrated as I was with the defense and Fuller's drop, it's Aaron Rodgers, if they spot you 17 points with a half to go, the offense needs to add more than 6.  I place this loss on Nagy and Trubisky, even with Fuller's dropped INT.  Maybe it's easier to blame them as they're the ones with very little experience who I hope will just use this as a teachable moment and get better from it.

  3. I think our next game against GB will define our season, if we are in it all the way, or happen to win it, we still could make the playoffs. I think we go 2-2 until Cutler gets back, keeps us in the hunt. If we end up with a bad lose, not looking for a lot of wins going forward.

     

    I mean no disrespect but how on earth do you think we win in GB? That is an auto-loss. If they keep it within 3 scores, it'll be a moral victory.

  4. We should beat St Louis.

     

    GB, Det, and BAL will be tough.

     

    I suppose now that Bradford is out, we have a chance in that one. You're probably right there. So 1-3 :-/ as a best case scenario, even if Cutler is back after 4, which I'm not sure what to expect for that.

  5. I have had some time to reflect on the Cutler injury and I wanted to ask the board something:

     

    What do you really expect from your backup quarterback when your starter is likley to be out for an extended time?

     

    I would say that most backups are such for a reason; either they are in the development stage or have not succeeded on the big stage in other locales. Not every backup can come in and perform like Frank Reich; usually their performance tends to gravitate towards the Caleb Hanie end of the spectrum.

     

    For me, the best I can hope for from McCown is a .500 record. I don't think he will win every game with Cutler out.

     

    Your thoughts?

     

    P.S. I don't think we should think that the 1/2 game sample size of McCown's performance in this offense is evidence that Cutler is expendable, IMHO.

     

    You don't think we will win *every* game with Cutler out? I don't think we will win *any* game with Cutler out. Maybe Briggs has something to do with it, but we're losing the next 4. We really needed that Washington game for some cushion.

  6. I would have just preferred we lost our last two games but I didn't want to do any better than 1-2 in the last 3 weeks so hopefully we lose next week and I hate saying that but it means our future.

     

    No it doesn't, a bit melodramatic wouldn't you say?

     

    You play to win. A couple spots simply will not matter. The Patriots are full of top 10 picks? Getting that super high pick is such a minute part of building a team. Your comment was absolutely ludicrous.
