I was mainly joking around about Cutler being afraid of contact (although I'm completely serious about our receivers and running back being afraid of it, I think it's obvious that they are). He's not a pansy, he's just dumb, a lot.
There were several times last night where Cutler needed to eat the sack. I think the reason he was sacked so few times last year is because he absolutely would rather sling it than take a sack (not to mention a much better offensive line) but he needs to eat it once in awhile. He's like the anti-Rodgers in that regard. If we didn't have to play from behind the sticks so much because the running game was getting stuffed then it wouldn't be as big an issue.
Matt Forte isn't the biggest problem with the running game but he's kind of getting to be a big one. I almost wish it'd come out that he was nursing a significant injury because then I'd have hope he'd get better.
I'd be fine with that. Come on guys. It's not a bears forum. Cubbie Bum should definitely expect to be in the minority, but why shouldn't he be allowed to cheer for his team? Because if you're a Cubs fan and a fan of some team other than the Bears when it comes to football we don't really want your subhuman opinions around here anyway :evil:
I always thought the whole idea the Hester couldn't run routes and was completely unpolished was a bit overblown by the national media who didn't actually watch him game to game. I've never seen him do anything close to that bad.
it was horrible play calling in the red zone. Two boring runs with a bad rb behind and bad line, then a play action without any recievers. Unbelievable. Cutler forced it because he probably had to. That throw/decision was indefensible. The play had no chance of working from the beginning and that's on Turner (and the whole sequence of downs) but Cutler HAS to throw that ball away.
Forte is actually making something out of nothing on some of these carries which is helping a bit...the timing of the hand offs seems off though. Forte's never at or near full speed when he's getting the ball even if it's a basic power play.
