Cutler has lost his confidence. Blame the line troubles, coaching or his lack of intestinal fortitude. Whatever you like. He's got happy feet now and is throwing the ball up for grabs. There isn't an easy answer here guys, the O Line isn't a quick fix and Cutler's swagger is gone.

Per sources I've spoken to personally in the Green Bay area, this is absolutely nothing new for Favre. He's been a well-known womanizer up there since his career started. Remember he was best buds with Chewy when that little hot tub incident happened and Chewbacca was accused of rape. Not a laughing matter. It was pure dumb luck that Bert Favor wasn't there that night.

Tell me, what kind of guy sends cell phone pictures of his crank to a woman he doesn't know while his wife is battling cancer? In the history of douchey behavor, this has got to rate a 10.

Kyle who? He doesn't play for the Bears.

I agree with your agreement.

Couldn't agree with you more on this one Pix. With that said, I personally said the Bears wouldn't score this week until they brought Hanie in. If I can see it, why can't they? And why didn't they drop this dead weight before he embarrassed himself? And yeah, for the smartasses out there on this board, I know the Bears put up some points while Collins was in the game. But I'd say NONE of it had anything to do with him. Solid D, great special teams and a Matt Forte that looks completely back from his injury made the difference. Let's hope we get Cutler back this week and his confidence is back. We can't have a QB with happy feet out there like he had against the Giants.

I'm not a huge Hanie backer or anything either but DAMN!!! At least Hanie has a little life in him. Collins was DONE years ago.

http://deadspin.com/5658206/ This story has been out there for a while now but there are now pictures and audio tapes of him. This could be interesting.

Yep. And he didn't tell Cutler to wind up like he was a major league pitcher on every throw either... Or pound the ball 15 times looking for the deep route only when guys are running free 10 yards from him waving their arms.

Bears get shutout in the first half, go to Hanie in the second and get 10 points from him. I gotta feeling we're losing this weekend.

Well there I agree with you.

Collins blows. He ought to be cut after his performance last weekend. He proved he doesn't belong on an NFL field anymore.

Puh lease. Drop all the melodrama will ya fella? He had a concussion. Quit talking about the guy like he's about to kick the bucket. About 100 NFL guys have a concussion every season and they all seem to survive. It's getting multiple concussions that does the damage over time. And if Cutler's was a major deal, he wouldn't even be being considered for this week.

If this is true I take back my harsh assessment of Cutler. I read that look on his face as not giving a shit. And his tossing the ball in the air as he was running out of bounds, etc. was all part of that body language I talked about in my earlier post. It looked like he gave up to me... early. I hope I'm wrong.

Give me a damn break. Cutler got sacked legitimately 4 times and IMO ran into a bunch of others. Two of the "sacks" were him running out of bounds behind the line. Yes, the line BLOWS and I've been saying that for several years. Several here have debated me on that FACT and now want to jump on that bandwagon. Welcome aboard! But that doesn't change the fact that Jay quit on this team well before the alleged concussion occured. You would've never seen Jimmy Mac or hell, even Favre, do what Cutler did yesterday. And this forum can get on me all they want for the title but I stand by it 100%! The Giants got into his head with the first couple of sacks and he wasn't even looking for receivers at some point. He was watching the line collapse around him and dancing around. And what the HELL happened to his delivery? He had the biggest windmill of a throwing motion I've ever seen last night! You're all right, Martz didn't help by continuing to bullheadedly call deep routes. But there have to be checkdowns available and several times I saw receivers in the middle of the field open. Cutler didn't get the ball off anywhere near as quickly as he needed to. Get used to it fellas. This line sucks AS PREDICTED and it ain't getting better. And now every team in the NFL knows they can get in Cutler's head but putting him on his ass a few times early in the game. This is going to get ugly.

Bullshit. You mix it up. A moving pocket is an easy thing to try. It's crazy to have him keep taking 7 step drops and pound the ball. And that wasn't the only thing I said to try. This is embarrassing.

Wish that could explain the first 29 minutes.

Concussion, my ass.

I've never seen a guy quit on his team like I'm seeing from Jay tonight. Sure, the line is playing poorly but close to half the sacks thus far are purely ON JAY. Probably more. And his body language is totally unacceptable. If I were Lovie I'd bench him. Roll him out, go to shorter drops. Jesus, this isn't rocket science!

Pretty luke warm endorsement.

I think he'll be a sub or in a rotation all year long. We won't get offered anything for him at this point anyway, given his contract. I still feel like there may be more to this story.

Frankly, you're both right. If the players produced they'd make Lovie look smarter (or luckier at least.) But going for it then and there when you could put the game score at a comfortable lead, particularly after failing over and over... Made no sense at all. And going into "prevent" with the score being what it was then absolutely made no sense at all. Angelo deserves the blame for this line. Without question. If it comes together and isn't the huge weakness I believe it to be, he'll then deserve the credit for sticking to his guns. But right now they don't appear to be a team strength and that's very kind of me. I'm happy with the production of this offense (aside from the turnovers) but with that said, I'm not sure what'll happen when we play defenses that exploit our line. I was in the 3-13 category before this game and while we were lucky to win, we were a few fundamental plays away from blowing the Lions out. So, upgrading my take on the season to 6-10 isn't out of the realm of reality. That still gets Lovie fired.

You boys know I'm one of the biggest koolaid kids here. So, it may surprise you to hear this... THIS TEAM SUCKS. No, not tonight. Who gives a SHIT about tonight? * I've been bitching about the O Line for 3 years or longer. Angelo has ignored it. Biggest problem on the team now, no question. * We bring in almost an entirely new coaching staff. Everyone knows it usually takes a new staff two years to pull it all together. What do we do? We SIT our starters for most of the preseason and when they play they SUCK BALLS. * We have one of the toughest schedules I can remember. Our own division is great and we play the east in the AFC and NFC. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?!!!! *Our LB's are all injured and our DB's all pretty much blow. The Bears know there isn't going to be football next year and they've dealt the team a hand that will allow them to cut everyone and sit on the sidelines with no expenses for the lost season. They'll then bring in a new GM and staff, slowly. God I hope I'm wrong.

I can't tell you how HAPPY this makes me. I LOVE it when bad things happen to douchebags.
