Wilson A2000

Better hope he doesn't get sacked and hurt. He should be out of the game.

Kind of nice for the Bulls to have another solid scorer to help them win games when Rose has an off night.

Maybe, maybe not. :D

Did someone just agree with me or was that a joke? Can I put this whole post in my sig?

Odd timing for this statement. This game has done nothing but crush any hope I had for next week. We won't lose by 40, but it's hard imagining any scenario where we'd pull off a win. At this point I'm just hoping not to get embarrassed. 1. The Bears are at home. 2. The good offenses the Bears have played haven't lit them up points wise so far. 3. The offense is playing pretty well right now. 4. Short week for the Pats. The Bears have a good chance of winning this Sunday.

I thought New England had a bad defense?

he called him the weak link after the third win in a row. Yeah I think I said it then too. The problem with your grading of quarterbacks is that they aren't all working under the same conditions. And based on how I have been reading your posts, you act like the best qb's never make a poor decision or never make mistakes. Peyton Manning has 7 interceptions over the last 2 games. You were also incorrect when you declared earlier in this thread that the Bears offensive line isn't the worst in the league anymore. That's not true. They are the worst and I don't believe anyone is a close 2nd to that unit. Cutler makes them look better than they did earlier in the year by making quicker decisions, snappier throws, running when necessary and maybe tucking a ball under his armpit and taking the loss instead of making an ill advised throw like he did last season and occasionally this season. You also have to look into the mindset of a qb. If you have an awesome offensive line that always gives you protection to set up any play you want, you develop a sense of security and confidence to make the plays happen. Jay's line has been so horrible, he has to have one eye looking behind him at all times. He doesn't have the ability to "trust" his line. He is working under a much larger handicap than many qb's experience. When you have been knocked out, shoved around, sacked as often as he has, hit on just about every pass play, it's hard to dust yourself off and get back in there knowing that you are probably going to get knocked on your ass again on the next play. That Cutler has this team at 9-3 with this offensive line is a credit to his ability as a qb to fight off the pressure, forgive the inadequacies of his weak offensive line and still put points on the board. Call me a homer, but I've watched a guy who looks like he could be killed at any given moment on that football field win ball games that it looked like we could have very easily lost. I can't really disagree with much of what you wrote except I think the line is not the worst anymore. You have to figure in rush and pass offense. And the Martz play calling.

The Jets needed a Lovie Smith pep talk for sure at halftime

True, but I think that is only part of being a good deep threat. Someone like Steve Smith doesn't have size, but he is feisty when he comes to going up and getting the ball when he doesn't have a step on the defender. I don't know if Hester and Knox are at that point yet.

he called him the weak link after the third win in a row. Yeah I think I said it then too.

Yeah at one point I thought he was. After the concussion and during the Seattle and Washington games his rating was like 62 and he had 4 picks and 1 TD.

Yeah, that was a bad hire pretty much right from the beginning. Did anyone have any idea he would act like this (driving out Cutler, Marshall, spygate Broncos style, and drafting Tebow) beforehand?

Good move. Now that the Broncos are out of the playoffs, you might as well start rebuilding without McDaniels. Too bad they didn't get rid of him before he drafted Tebow.

everything you say is idiotic. You don't know a damn thing about football. I had to quote this because it's the truth. After reading this entire thread, your argument makes zero sense and you come off as a stammering bumbling bafoon when trying to explain how you think Jay Cutler doesn't throw deep balls, can't make good decisions and how the offense has phased him out since the bye. Your "argument" is not pointing or articulated, but rather stupid and all over the place. How can I really consider your post when I didn't say one single thing you said I did in context? If you are going to jump in at the end, at least quote my inarticulate and stupid argument correctly. Where did I say he can't make good decisions at all? I said under pressure he is a bad decision maker. That would mean when he is not under pressure he is a fine decision maker. I also said that you give the guy an average line he will be a Pro Bowler. The offense has phased him out? You were probably referring to my post when I said the Bears are still throwing the ball all over the place. Does that sound like I said that the offense has phased Jay out? Why even post if you are going to over exaggerate everything I say? What point does that prove?

Sure. You don't have a big guy to throw the ball to deep where he can go up and get it. The line doesn't give Jay the time to do it anyway. I don't really remember the type of offense Martz had in St. Louis with respect to deep balls, but I guess they really didn't throw bombs much. Since the Bears have quick, shifty receivers Martz certainly seems to be drawing up plays where YAC can come. In that respect the receivers are a good fit for what Martz wants to do.

The NFL placed divisional games at the end of the season to try to force teams not to take games off if they have wrapped up a seed. It isn't an issue this year.

I think it is a little of both. Jay is not a good decision maker when under pressure. that is absurd. You think Jay is a good decision maker? I think that is his biggest weakness. but you also think he is the weak link so i really don't put much stock in that assessment. his decision-making has saved our butts plenty of times this season. And it has hurt it too (the Washington game). He has to be better at this. And he has been. In my opinion, Jay was the weak link. Not anymore.

Yep, but their defenses look nasty good.

That was my reaction when Minnesota picked up NIU's football coach.

I can't believe there weren't about 8 flags for that hit. The NFL needs to figure out how to get the refs to enforce their mandates on the shots to the head rules. I'd be shocked if that Ravens player doesn't get fined tomorrow, and that absolutely should have been a flag. Guys have gotten flagged for a lot less. The refs said there should have been a fine for that hit.

Dude seriously stop being intentionally stupid. I really don't know what you are trying to prove by somehow not seeing how those links are issues I directly brought up a few posts back. I earlier said that the Bears haven't been throwing the deep ball as much. I also said that the Bears passing offense and their yards per attempt looks a little larger than it really is because of the yards after the carry that the receivers have been generating.

I don't know if I want Dan Pompei on my side. Desperately trying to find a Brad Biggs article. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-spt-1126-bears-pompei-chicago--20101125,0,4506798.column http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/bears/2938780,CST-SPT-bear1202.article
