Cutler was awful tonight. He didn't lose us the game tonight, but it would have been nice if he helped keep our defense off the field. That team did not want a division title.

Bostic and Paea are terrible. Peppers is a has been and SMC never has been. Briggs looked slow and out of sync tonight as well. Tonight was embarrassing.

I'm going to back track and defend Conte here. Playing safety is taught a certain way; in run support the safety is supposed to clean up what the linebackers miss. That means they are working off the cut of the running back. Our LB's are not making running backs cut before the safety. Therefore the safety's are dealing with a new cut in space in an open field. Almost impossible to defend.

I'm going to the game next weekend and will have a good view like the coaches film. I'm really hoping to gain some insight on Cutler. He simply does not seen instinctive. I've always said this about him, that he is a point and shoot guy. He has to finish next weekend. Side note: Bostic is God awful, Conte should be cut on the sideline and Tucker should hitchhike home. If they don't switch to a 3-4, I'd cut SMC and Paea as soon as the season is over. Drunk ramble over...

I was thinking, sign twirler at a going out of business sale.

The ass whoopin we are taking tonight is exactly why I didn't root for teams to lose so we can get in. Go all in, win the last two games and earn it. The team on the field tonight wants it less than the Packers. Just sayin. Most pathetic effort I've seen from this team.

lol

Don't say It man. This will be my first Bears Packers game.

Cutler blew that third and two. Bennett was open and begging.

I don't know enough to tell if it's the injuries, age or Tucker. Ryan would awesome though...

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...a4-526d6d7acb57 Several months ago I made a post regarding the importance of continuity with the offensive line. This article reminded me of those sentiments. The respective comments from Trestman and Kromer below say it all. "I think the biggest thing is that they've stayed healthy and they've been able to play together," said coach Marc Trestman. "That's the biggest thing in growing lines. I've seen lines with all different talent levels come together because they've played together. That's the No. 1 thing. "There's so much communication involved and there's so much body language involved and knowing where people are and what they're going to do. Keeping them together and the fact that they're healthy has really helped us get better quickly."

It's now down to who wants it most. We win, we're in. I don't want to get in by virtue of anyone else sucking out. Bears only! Bear down!!!

100%%%% and then some. Especially him coaching in our division...

If we invested highly in any offensive weapon, I would prefer a speed guy. Whether it be a slot guy or RB, we are slow at those positions. Plus, Hester may be gone. If so, he will need replaced with that guy. Still want a center. Don't like the idea of Slaussen sliding over. I want a true center. Otherwise, we need to rejuvenate the DL and DB positions. This is one of those years it would be great to have 14 picks like the niners had last draft...

Instead of debating who should start or what the best option going forward may be, how about asking why? Q: Why is Cutler starting? A: Because there's an old tradition that the starter does not lose his job to injury. Why? It's a message of loyalty and confidence to the team. Nobody wants to sacrifice their body for a coach or team with the thought that their standing will be lost during rehab. A: Because they need more film on Cutler. Why? Smith vs Kaepernick. Why? Smith was 7-0 and the highest rated QB in the NFL then loses his job to Kaepernick. SF goes on to the SB as favorite and were beaten soundly until the power outage. Karma's a bitch. Add to that my personal belief that Smith was and still is the better QB. Why x2? They know what they have in McCown AND what he can be signed for in the off season. That question has not been answered for Cutler. Why? Cutler got hurt as the offense was starting to gel. New scheme, new OL, new coaches simply take a season. Q: Why not ride the hot hand? A: See above Also, Emery and Trestman have a huge decision that will affect the next 5-8 years of the franchise. If Cutler were the only off season priority, it would still not be easy. But, they have 30 guys with contract situations to deal with and they all hinge on Cutler. Film…

For the 3rd consecutive year, I hope it's Peanut...

Jason already called that, lol...

That article pretty much sums up what I stated in another post about having one side of the ball being dominant. Good read. Thanks fir sharing.

Well stated

My philosophy has always been, you have to be dominant at one thing. That being said, I think the best option for that lies in Cutler. There's no chance of the D betting dominant next year, do it has to be O. How about 6 years 80 mil for Cutler? Two years 7 mil for Josh?

Amen x2. And I'll add Lovie was in job saving mode, again. That win allowed him to throw Martz under the bus and promote his next savior in Tice.

As long as that doesn't mean tanking games to get a better pick. I agree if you are out of the playoff scenario, you should give bubble guys and youngsters a long look to learn more about them and provide experience.

McCown is a very good athlete. Who's to say, he could just be a late bloomer between the ears. One of McCown's former teammates said he is the most physically gifted "white boy" he'd ever seen. If you look at him, he looks quick, strong, fluid, accurate and confident. Add to that, an average arm and above average foot speed, you have a recipe for a modern QB. I'm not concerned about his age either. As Adam pointed, he's younger than some that we're not worried about. Plus, he has less wear and tear than all of them. I'm somewhat sold on McCown now and the 14 mil(minimum) Cutler will command can buy us 3 to 5 starters on defense.

Greene is the worst player on the team. He bites on everything and ends up trailing plays. He make Shae look like an all star. Speaking of Shae. He has all the look of Url 2.0. I'd move him to LB in the off season and move Bostic outside.

I really don't care if our head coach is offense or defensive minded, but I do agree on the aggressive nature of Trestman. If he makes the smart decisions on 4th down and field goals, I'm totally good. On the Lovie note: I believe his style of coaching is dead alongside the Tampa Two D.
