Re: Week 3: Tampa at Bears noon on Fox

Yay now we are sending Forte deep because noone else on this team can catch.

Ron Turner is indeed [expletive]

I don't understand the hatred of that play. Had Forte not tried to catch the ball in his right armpit, it's a TD. And the interception was pure luck.

The interception was luck, but Forte had his man beat and Orton underthrew the ball.

Why send Forte out there in the 1st place?

Yeah, I'll take my chances everytime w/ a RB on a LB 1-on-1.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict we don't score in this drive either.

It's still a mismatch and an underthrow isn't a huge deal when you have a big LBer in coverage who isn't going to look back for the ball. Forte did everything right up until the attempted catch. He tried to catch it like it was a kick return.

What's the net gain of Orton over Grossman again? Grossman will take sacks because he can't move, but he's accurate on his intermediate/deep throws.

 

Kyle won't take as many sacks but he can't throw a longer pass to save his life.

 

They're both going to throw picks. Pretending that only Grossman does this is stupid.

 

I guess the bottom line is we don't have a QB, again. And we have no clue how to find one.

[Outshined_One]

Is there anyone else on this offense other than Forte? Do we even have any WRs?

Grossman's problem is not sacks, it's the panic thing. He's like a lobotomized Favre out there

Why criticize a running back for not displaying wide receiver skills when the ball was underthrown in the first place? The underthrow is a huge deal when your guy has a couple steps on the coverage.

Orton isn't exactly Mr. Cool out there.

It's not like they just drew the play up on the sidelines. They've clearly practiced it and Forte should know how to catch a pass. It would be great if the throw was perfect, but in that situation, an underthrow isn't that bad. Since the LBer won't turn to look for the ball, the odds of clean interception are very low. An underthrow also significantly increases the chances for a PI call.

[Jon]

That was a good job by McKie to recognize early that Orton was going to run and block the defender off to allow Orton to dive for the first.

Underthrows are great if you have a WR who can take advantage of them and it's part of the repertoire. I highly doubt that was the plan there. It was just a bad throw. And it's not a difficult throw either. As long as we have a QB who can't put that one on the money, we're not going to have a very good offense. That's the long & short of it for me. The guy got lucky on the INT. A good throw and he can't get lucky.

Bears O-Line is showing its true colors with today's pass protection

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

hahahahahaha

Orton, you are an idiot.

[Soul]

Face it Orton is horrible.

[Cubs08]

Kyle Orton folks

[Careless]

what sort of pathetic block was that, 51? You take Orton out there.

[USSoccer]

Are the meatballs ready to finally see how much Orton sucks now? Or will they do what they know and boo Rex?
