UMFan83

I wish I had a replay I could show you. Knox had to break off the route he was running, ran in a yard or two and it was still tipped by a leaping DB. If it wasnt underthrown, Cutler was trying to get it intercepted because there was no way that throw was not going to be tipped by one of the 2 Lions that were in front of Knox.

why do you hate cutler so much? peterson makes a great play on that pass to knox or it's right in knox's lap. just enjoy a great game from cutler and accept that he is our qb. Seconding sulleymon on this one UMFan, thats what you gotta live with as far as Cutler is concerned. Basically he's going to throw at minimum a pick a game on a play like that, on a 3rd and 20, because thats who he is. I'll take the 370+ yards and the ridiculously awesome TD to Forte at the end of the game when it looked like they might get themselves out of field goal range. That's fine..he only did it once today. Last year he had games where he had multiple plays like that (and I'm not talking about the ones that you could blame on the WR) where those single handedly cost us the game. I was more upset about times where he completely overthrew or underthrew the WR in this game. That's great that he had 370 yards, but he threw the ball 44 times...its not too extreme. (also, take away that 89 yard TD which was mostly blocking and Forte and its 289 yards in 43 throws which is 6.7 YPA which is basically what he did last year which is basically below average) It's great that the Bears can get 450 yards of offense, but when they have 6 different drives of 40+ yards and they only get 17 points from them, its not good. And that's not all on Cutler. I'm not saying he's a bad QB, but I have really high expectations for him. And as such I'm going to be overly critical of him, or at least moreso than if Kyle Orton played the exact same game. But anyways, I said he played a B game today. Did some things really good, but that INT is inexcusible for someone that is supposed to have such a great arm. I believe he was standing in the pocket, he threw into triple coverage, and he underthrew the ball, leaving it up for grabs between 3 lions players. It's ok if he throws into triple coverage once in awhile if he's gonna make the throw. It's ok if he underthrows it occasionally, as long as hes not underthrowing it into triple coverage. And occasionally its ok if he does both at the same time and it gets picked off. But I've seen games where it isnt just that one time, and those are the things that kill the bears.

Cutler - somewhat disagree. A decent performance but the INT is completely unacceptable, and there were a couple more throws that were wildly inaccurate. Those things shouldnt happen when you are settled in the pocket for someone who supposedly has a million dollar arm. He also lost a fumble in the game. Still considering how bad the O-line was most of the game, it was a decent performance. I'd give him a B.

LOL this guy called in and said he was at Soldier Field and Bears fans were apologizing to him (Lions fan) and shaking his hand

I'm listening to the Lions postgame. I guess I'd be talking about the same crap, but in the 25 minutes I've listened they havent mentioned anything about the game other than the call. People are calling in saying that things like "the refs are being paid off by the mob" and "I'm never watching the NFL again", etc. They won't even admit that the call is correct by the rulebook. And they havent mentioned anything about the fact that if the Bears don't randomly fumble at the 8 yard line, or if Lovie doesn't take guaranteed points at the 1 yard line, etc.

I was surprised too especially since the official on camera instantly called it a touchdown before they changed it. The call on the field is what won them the game. If its called a TD on the field, I could easily see them interpret the play differently and keep it a TD.

That is complete lunacy. I actually agree with him. When I saw the play happen in realtime my friend flipped out and I sat there waiting for a challenge.

Hahaha the Lions are cursed. They got screwed out of a win and their QB might be seriously hurt. Sorry Detroit.

Thats 1 lob....2 more lobs to go. He'll catch 1.

I called that upon the play happening

If Hill throws 3 lobs up to Calvin Johnson, he'll catch 1 for the win.

Are you going to take that damn Lions picture out of your sig if the Lions lose?

You realize like 110 of them were from running after the catch on screens and stuff.

With Calvin Johnson on their team you can never assume they cant score.

We should be up 26-14 but oh well (3 points on the fumble from the 8 yard line in the first half, 3 points on the 1st and goal from the 1 inch line possession, and 1 point for the PAT they would have kicked there)

Catch that you douche

Matt 40!

Well it was a 37 yard FG...now its about a 45 yarder.

Thats 3 penalties I've counted on Garza today.

11 more yards by the bears until we've quadrupled their output on offense.

52 yards from here. I wish I could call up vegas and put money on the Bears getting sacked on the next play.

Nice job to not fumble it Olsen. No seriously nice job.

Duh. That's the rule.

I've decided that Cutler is never going to take the Bears to any sort of sustained success.
