  1. Danario Alexander is such a man.
  2. Way to hang on.
  3. I'm kind of surprised they started Huet tonight. He's been playing a lot lately (and for good reason), but Toronto sucks so I thought they'd rest him before Sunday's big game against San Jose.
  4. This is the bottom line on Cutler. He's going to throw a lot of picks. That's the type of QB he is. He's extremely confident in his arm, to the point where he thinks he can make any throw. We all know this. I don't think this is ever going to change. He's not the type of QB you can throw 35-40+ times with, because he'll throw a ton of picks. However, we're kind of stuck right now. Cutler is 7-13 in his career when he throws 35+ passes (1-5 this year). Without a decent running game, we're being forced to throw a ton, because you can't run the ball three times for two yards per carry and then punt the ball every drive. I have no problem putting a lot of the blame on Cutler, but this is exactly the type of QB he is, and he would limit his picks greatly with a competent running game.
  5. yep that's about right. now i get to go to work guys! BE JEALOUS OF ME
  6. dammit now i have to keep watching this crap.
  7. These fatties are going to kill our franchise QB.
  8. jesus Schaffer sucks. just put Pace back in.
  9. My Sunday will definitely be filled with a lot less rage, that's for sure.
  10. There's been four or five times tonight where it looks like he's going to make a move through a hole and bust one and he gets tackled. He's got to hit the holes better (on the few plays a game where there is one. I suggest we accept that he's not more than a mediocre runner. He's a good pass catching RB, and average as a runner. I guess I just don't know what happened. I mean the line last year was better, but it was still awful. He looked great last year. I'm still hesitant to call it a fluke. Actually his overall YPC weren't all that special. We tend to ignore that. Yeah, that is true.
  11. Yeah, that last pick was all on Cutler... He's making risky throws where if one thing goes wrong it's a likely pick. Sometimes he'll make a great play and everyone will cheer, other times something goes wrong and its picked off. I've seen people make excuses for almost every single Cutler INT this year. In the NFL almost every pass is risky. I didn't see anything wrong with that last decision. One on one coverage wasn't bad but he underthrew it, giving the DB a chance to jump it. Like I said a lot of the time it's not a pick but Cutler tries to force throws all game and sometimes he's burned. I don't understand, do people not give Cutler any fault for most of his 16 INTs this year? I fully realize a lot of other things have gone wrong to lead to his picks, but he's still the man making the throws and more importantly the decision to make the throws. I don't not blame Cutler for his picks, but I feel I spend more time defending some of the ones that probably aren't his fault because there's tons of stupid Bears fans out there who want to jump on Cutler for every little thing and still think Orton is/was a better QB, which it simply isn't true.

  13. Gotta catch that ball. Wow was Pace benched? Awesome.
