You have the benefit of an unconcussed brain to make that decision with. My concern is -- how many more concussions before that decision starts to be made for him, or at least strongly recommended by doctors... Can't be too many more. And AGAIN, we can't protect him in the pocket. It doesn't help that when he decides to scramble he'd rather dive head first or lower his shoulder instead of sliding. Oh and when he is under attack in the pocket he'd rather keep his eyes down field instead of tuck the ball and just take the sack. The guy refuses to protect himself. Do you think any good QB takes his eyes off the field when he's under pressure, and just goes down?

One word comes into my mind when players anonymously rip a teammate in the press: coward.

Come on Detroit, win this one game. You can go back to sliding into oblivion after.

The problem with that is then you end up with some nobody faking a head injury to get the other team's superstar defender out of the game. Yeah, it works better if you apply it to the after-game examination and determination of the extent of the injury. Essentially, the offending player can't return to action until the injured player does. And, the offending player's team can't make roster moves to compensate.

I tend to think, as of now, that 2015 is probably the most realistic year to begin to make a push. I doubt even the great Theo survives 2 more full seasons of horrible, bottom-feeder baseball. This team MUST compete. While I think we'll likely be awful in 2013, almost decent in 2014 and really good in 2015 abd beyond, why do you think they must compete now? They're taking advantage of a starved fanbase thats extremely loyal. This couldn't be done in New York or Boston, but I think we'll stay above 2.5 mill attendance no matter what. It's not like we've got some rich tradition of winning. In the end, whether we win 65 or 76 games next year, is inconsequential. I didn't say we must compete now. He's talking about 2 more entire seasons of horror. That's a pretty long time to wait, for any fan base. Certainly plenty enough time for the bloom to come off the rose for Theo Epstein. I just think 2015 to "begin to make a push" will try too many people's patience, even at Wrigley. It's got to at least start showing some signs, sooner than that. I don't think that's Theo's thought process though, and I still have faith he'll get it done. -

:( A slower release makes it easier for everyone, not just the 49ers defense. I don't want Jay Cutler playing unless he's completely healthy. Not when there could be real danger to his entire career, and the potential benefit is 8-2 versus 7-3.
-
You have to be absolutely [expletive] kidding me. This better be false. I'm hoping his comments help him get some away time along with the hefty fine he will surely be receiving. What an absolute scum bag. At least own up to being dirty. Yeah, it's not imaginary. He definitely said that.
-
We've been able to live with the anemic offense. Add bad turnovers to the mix, though -- that pushes it over the edge. It's less turnovers on their own so much as bad hands in general last night. It's bad enough when guys are popping the ball loose, nevermind they're not catching balls right there for them. Davis arguably singlehandedly lost this game. Yeah, true.

Yeah, that was the comment that stuck out for me, too. I didn't realize he said that.

I'm on board with this as well. It just stinks that it's 1/16 of the season, so it still matters a lot, sort of. It was better in 08 with baseball with the lunatics flying off the handle when we were losing a game. Win next week and the conversation completely changes. That's what is amusing about post game chatter. It's always over the top regardless. Your team is either a bunch of bums, or they're great. I can't deny I feed into it sometimes :)

The long ball was there. Receivers just couldn't bring them in. Yep. Cutler made several spot on passes that weren't hauled in. And as good as Marshall is/was, he clanged a TD pass. Soooo many things about last night that irk me. The Marshall TD pass that wasn't is yet another.
-
That's not good. Is it? He played way better than Campbell in spot duty last year.
-
oh my god.
-
As if the matchups on MNF aren't bad enough, they finally get a good one and both QBs may be out.
-
I'm not going to go back and find it, but that's what I said at the time too. He at least should get a hefty fine or something for that hit. And that pass was absolutely legal.
-
He played the rest of the half. That tells me he will only be out a week or two. I don't expect Jay to play against the 9ers. Therefore, this game will likely be a display of offensive suckage.
-
Well, sucky game. But, it's really hard to say what would have happened with Cutler in there the whole game. We didn't get blown out, and the Texans weren't really able to dominate. All of this just emphasizes how important a good QB is to me. Campbell can't save us in a pinch, just like Hanie couldn't. Without Jay Cutler, we are pretty much sunk. As tonight showed.

Florio on NBC now. No comment on players who have wives about to give birth.

See check downs all the time in the 2-minute. Usually they aren't covered check downs, but it's a way to get easy yardage, especially when you have plenty of time and a timeout. Usually a QB......even a pretty bad one......will not throw that checkdown when a defender is right there, waiting to make the tackle. Apparently, JC is a different breed. Just throw it to the checkdown even if it is a guaranteed sucky play.
-
NEVER LET KELLEN DAVIS PUT A BEAR UNIFORM ON AGAIN. PERIOD.

So....about those 'crossroads' games and the Bears....
