So that's the league's story. Police refused to tell us the whole truth?

Week 2: Bears (0-1 wtf) @ 49ers (1-0) Sun Night 7:30 PM NBC

I'm just glad we have the depth to be able to deal with it for the time being, but agreed...injuries are a concern anytime they happen. Sure, but think about all the other alcoholism-inducing crap that came from yesterday. Slauson isn't topping my list, because Ola held down the fort. -

So that's not good. [expletive] The backups played well in this case. I'm not all that worried on this piece. -
I thought the line in particular played very well. Lance Briggs had a terrible game and, because of two plays, gave up 85 of Buffalo's 193 yards on the ground. He completely missed his assignment on each of those long run plays. D Line still needs more pressure, but I thought they played a better game than people are recognizing. In what way? They didn't get pressure and were more or less non-factors. Not being as awful as last year's line doesn't make them ok, let alone qualify as playing well. Paea made a couple good plays early (literally first 2 plays), Ratliff made a couple plays in the 2nd half, Young looked really good early. Allen had 1 play where he forced Manuel out of the pocket. I thought Sutton looked good in limited snaps. But overall, that's just not good enough. Yeah, I feel like we are measuring it against last year to a certain extent. That can't be the measuring stick. I wasn't throwing stuff at the TV because of them, except on the couple long runs (man, Briggs blew that one so bad...) and the fact that Manuel sat untouched most of the game.

That would be better actually. As it stands, I'm assuming we just lost to a 6-10 team at home today. A disaster.

Because he's loaded with talent, for one. Second, be honest. When Cutler leaves the strong likelihood is, we are going into another era of mediocrity @ QB. People want it to happen, there's nothing wrong with that.

Arians is the primary one that comes to mind

Bottle of whiskey suddenly calling my name. Too big a day tomorrow at work

Saying a QB is a "big winner" is almost as stupid as saying a starting pitcher "knows how to win". The point is he's putting up numbers but it's not translating. Don't give me that weak starting pitcher comparison crap. That's not where I was going with it. It's not translating because it's a team sport. QB stats don't translate directly to wins. That's why it's a stupid point. He had a ton of yards and pissed them away with 2 terrible mistakes that were 100% on him. You're just off target on this one.

Cutlers performance crushed me. I know he will have better games, and games where he will look like the best QB in the league but if there was any hope that Cutler would have a career year where he is consistently a great QB, it's gone now. I guess I shouldn't expect that kind of leap at age 31 anyways. Every QB makes dumb throws. He made 2 in the game, and one of those happened to be severely punished. I think you're overracting. It appears Cutler will go down as one of those very talented players who simply doesn't make it happen. He either blows games like today or he gets on a really nice roll & then gets injured. Or he has to learn another system. Or a bunch of other injuries hurt him. It's a combination of untimely mistakes bad luck. It's not one thing. But if he was going to be one of the top producing QBs and a big winner it would have happened
-
Cutler made a lot of meaningless noise today.
-
Trestman had a nice honeymoon last year. Now we find out what happens when he's kicked in the mouth and more is expected. Year 2 pal. Figure it out.
-
Wow. Just surreal failure today
-
Play was already a killer before Conte even got in on it. Total interior line failure
-
It's over
-
Problem is you just can't give up yards now
-
Really miss Jeffery wow
-
Gee suddenly no calls are just fine with the Bills. Whaddaya know
-
Maybe just a whimper
-
Very likely this is it.
-
This is how you piss away a game at home
-
This can't be how Jay plays. Tons of yards and then blows everything up like that. Angry at him
-
Boneheaded

Ugh
