To me that is coaching. It's all about timing and position and it just seems disjointed far too often.

Hate this on every level. Wow...

Agreed, but... Unless it's 3rd and 7,all downs are running downs against this team. Unfortunately, we have worse than SMC out there. Check some film on Bostic. He bites on every cut, counter and misdirection. I saw at least 8 run plays against Philly where he took himself so far out of the play he simply was walled off in traffic.

[quote name='Alaskan Grizzly' As I pointed out previous, I feel that the team needs to start Cutler on. Sunday against the Packers. This is why he will start Sunday. His performance Sunday will determine his future. By default, we will have a clearer picture.

Using the CBA as an excuse 20 weeks into the season is BS. Poor coaching and lack of effort, period...

Please allow me to play devils advocate. Drive 1: what if the two failed pass plays were because Cutler blew the hot read our audibled out of a positive play? What if he would've gotten a first down our two. God forbid a TD? A first down could have quieted the energy in the crowd and changed ours. Who knows, they may not have started their epic run. Drive 2: maybe Hester doesn't put the ball on the ground trying to make a play. Never know... Drive 3: etc... Just saying there are many talks that can be told. I'd really live to see coaches film on that game. Like I said in another post. It's not on Cutler, but he played a role in the 54 we got hung on us.

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
