    Wow, he must either know that Trestman isn't coming back or he isn't Edit: Here's an article with his quotes: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/12/22/robbie-gould-backs-jay-cutler-opens-up-about-bears-dysfunction-under-trestman/

    This is the end.... On the chopping block:

    Although I'm a little bit bigger of a Bears fan I'd rather him go to Michigan because I believe Harbaugh is much more needed at UM. There's a much smaller pool of coaches that can (quickly) turn around that program.

    Bears had 30 less total yards, 3 less points, and as many 50+ yard drives yesterday as the last time the Bears played the Lions. And Cutty had the benefit of Marshall and Long (albeit on the road vs home yesterday). And one of their TDs on thanksgiving was due to a TO inside the Lions 10. I just like playing devils advocate. I'm on the side of Cutler here, and it's clear that Clausen didn't provide a "spark" like Trestman suggested would happen but Clausen didn't do significantly worse than the last time we played Detroit. In fact pretty comparable and maybe better if Jeffery isn't blatantly interfered with on a no call (it's either a 50 yard TD catch or a 1st and goal from inside the 10, very likely leading to points) or if the Bears can punch in from the 1.

    If the Panthers win next week won't that be the first time the NFC South has had a repeat champion?
  6. UMFan83
    We could if the Saints lose and Falcons and Panthers tie.

    Just playing Meatball's advocate, his yards would have been better if there weren't 7 drops. Also if there was garbage time I'm the game like Cutler has had in a lot of his games. It was a decent performance from a backup QB. Nothing to get excited about but nothing to disparage either. Clausen's YPA was lower than any of Cutler's games this year and nearly a yard lower than the worst qualifying QB in the NFL. Bennett leads all TEs in the NFL in drops and Forte is second amongst RBs. He got 14 points because of shortened fields due to idiocy from Detroit - a ST fumble and a roughing the punter penalty. Decent performance from a backup QB. Would have scored more than 14 if they could have punched it in from the 1 on 2 tries, or if there wasn't a blatantly missed pass interference call inside the 10 yard line. Not even including the drops. Again decent performance from a backup against the leagues number 2 defense, while starting 2-3 undrafted rookies on the line and without our number 1 WR. I'm not saying he's good, and I'm definitely not saying he should replace Cutler or that he should even be on this team in any capacity next year. Just that it was a decent performance from a backup, and frankly better than I expected from him

    Meatballs are already crowning Clausen as the new McCown. Somehow Clausen's presence prevented the defense from giving up less than the 40 points they usually allow.

    The Red Zone channel seems to be weirdly off today. They keep ignoring red zone opportunities to show non red zone opportunities and for some reason seem to be obsessed with this Giants-Rams game. It seems to be their go to game when nothing else is happening which is bizarre since it's the only game on right now with no playoff implications
  12. UMFan83
    Quick math but I think the Bears can get no worse than the 8th pick with a loss next week. And the Giants are up double digits early. If they lose I believe a loss to Minnesota clinches the 7th pick. I am not sure how the tiebreakers work but Washington can still tie them too if they beat Dallas, so maybe still slightly alive for the 6 spot.
  13. UMFan83
    First 10 loss season for the Bears since 2004...3rd longest streak in the NFL behind only the Patriots and Chargers
  14. UMFan83
    This is hilarious 7 drops
  15. UMFan83
    I enjoyed the few years where Tim Jennings was randomly an adequate CB.
  16. UMFan83
    this secondary is terrible. we just love blatantly interfering, especially on 3rd downs
  17. UMFan83
    The Bears winning doesn't really effect the Packers unless Green Bay blows the lead in the last 3 minutes. Good point, because next week is winner take all with a GB win right?
  18. UMFan83
    They'd really prefer to not call any pass interference calls on Detroit
  19. UMFan83
    I am so conflicted. I cant help but cheer for the Bears even when I want them to lose. Pros of a win: -It's fun to watch Bears win even when terrible -It's fun to beat the Lions -Confidence for next year? Cons: -Might destroy draft positioning -Helps the Packers win the division and maybe get a bye -Keeps the 0.0000000001% chance of Trestman coming back because "cutler wasnt a good fit in his system, lets give him a try with a better system QB and ignore the fact that his team was a mess off the field due to lack of leadership and also made a [expletive] ton of inexcusable mental errors, some of them repeatedly" [expletive] I have to root against the Bears here
  20. UMFan83
    Sweet Willie Young and Ego Ferguson go down with at first glance really bad injuries. Young's injury might be on that effects the beginning of next year. Edit: Sounds like Ferguson might be fine

    Given the reports that Harbaugh is considered too pricy at HC I doubt the Bears are going to throw gobs of money at their problems 2 levels above HC How can the McCaskeys say Harbaugh is too pricey? Should never be a problem in this market when the NFL is making gobs of money. If they clean house and get rid of cutler they are eating like $20+ mil for nothing next year, so to add the highest paid coach in NFL history is very very unlike how the McCaskeys operate.

    http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/greg-cosell-s-film-review--why-jay-cutler-hasn-t-worked-out-232115184.html I think someone posted this the other day but this article makes sense to me but I'm not football smart enough to know if this is a legit reason for the offense struggling with the Cutler/Trestman marriage.
  23. UMFan83
    KEEP TRESTMAN AND SIGN CLAUSEN TO A 7 YEAR 126 MIL CONTRACT!!
  24. UMFan83
    [expletive] the Bears really are going to [expletive] up their draft position aren't they?
  25. UMFan83
    Only sulleys teams That is outrageously bad
