Week 16: Bears (8-6) @ Eagles (8-6) 7:30 PM NBC

[Soul]

Here comes McCown

 

Let the controversy begin!!!!

[rawaction]

And McCown is coming in.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I have very little doubt that McCown gives the Bears the best chance to win next week.

 

Well, that's just wrong.

Is it? I'm not saying he is the better quarterback, but he is the better quarterback right now.

[USSoccer]

Great. Because of that the consensus is going to be that it's cutlers fault the eagles won by 36+ points.

 

Just wait until McCown puts up some garbage yards and maybe a TD. Thank Jeebus that Xmas will temper the stupidity.

Meatball alert is at a severe warning level. Good move if for the right reasons although this will poke the hornets nest.

[Wilson A2000]

Hester is so bad at his job now.

 

That's on Trestman. Same with Podlesh. He's gotta do something about it.

 

Trestman? Maybe the ST coach or the GM not giving him better options. I guess you could put some of the blame on him but I think there's better options.

 

I think this is right but DVOA had the bears special teams in the top 8 every year for a decade under Taub. This year they are something like 16th

 

I know ST are bad. See what Weems can do. Couldn't be worse. Emery should have had a better punter week 5.

[UMFan83]

Was that a drop too

 

Is this the start of some idiotic meatball rant against Cutler?

 

No, it was a rant against the meatballs who have taken it way too far the other way and can't admit when he sucks

 

I'll call Jay out when he sucks. He wasn't very good tonight. Wasn't at all the biggest problem (defense, oline, special teams) but he wasn't good.

Also wrong.

Just looking at mccowns face makes me mad

[SpongeWorthy]

No one that anyone should be listening to blames Cutler for this disgrace.

 

At the same time he didn't do anything to stem the bleeding.

I disagree. Cutler is still not right. How many times has he got up slowly tonight on seemingly pedestrian hits? He still doesn't look 100% healthy to me.

I think it will be the opposite. Meatballs will be gathering in person and talk will inevitably turn to the Bears and Cutler will be brought up and even people who aren't anti-cutler will be sucked into the meatball vortex

[UK1679666180]

Should have did this earlier. Lucky he didn't get killed tonight.

 

Cutler was ok, McCown would not have done better tonight.

[rawaction]

Jeffrey, Marshall, Forte out of the game also.

[USSoccer]

They went three and out, and the next time he had the ball it was 14-0.

[Wilson A2000]

This is Jay. The highs are high and the lows low. I don't think he's had a great 5 game stretch as a Bear. Can he do it now going against really good teams? But horrible oline tonight hasn't helped.

[treebird]

if i'm trestman, mccown hands off on literally every snap. don't even give the stupid people the chance to be stupid.

Cutler was probably the best player on the field today for the Bears (sadly) before that pick 6. Anyone complaining about him is a moron.

Pedestrian hits? That was 2010-esque pass protection he was getting. He got hit pretty solidly a few times.

I fully endorse this.

This is a good example of meatballing the other way

[UK1679666180]

they deserve this [expletive], I cant believe how unprepared they are.

He's probably not 100%, but he can run a little and has the entire playbook. The only thing that mattered going into this season was evaluating Cutler. These games are hugely important for that. Bears aren't winning the SB with Cutler or McCown anyway with this defense.
