Cutler's got a broken/injured thumb...
Espn has reported out is broken and he will miss the remainder of the regular season. The Bears won't use the IR in case of payoffs, a he could be ready. Interesting side note: Rachael Nichols called Hester last night to get a scoop and Hester thought she was joking. He thought he was ok in the huddle and lock room after the game. Never knew he was injured. What a pussy that Cutler is...

Update from Sunday's FineFest 2011
I think Moore and Stafford should be reversed, as Stafford started it. The Fairley fine is bullcrap. (15K for a millionaire for intentionally trying to hurt a franchise QB.) I wonder if the fine would be the same if Peppers plants Rodgers on Christmas day??

Postgame Thoughts
I think Martz called an appropriate game for the scenario the defense handed him. I also believe he is good with a short leash. There were the gadget plays in the game that drove me nuts and that was it for my Martz wrath. The flip toss to Forte was completely inappropriate for the down and distance. Now, if they were in a pro set and faked to Forte and flipped to Clutts, that may have worked. But, when Forte is X percent of your offense, he is always going to be keyed upon. (especially on 3rd and 1) On the other hand, the halfback option is a great play call if you have the dominant running game. Maybe Martz saw an opportunity with a cheating safety earlier that we didn’t pick up on. My two issues with that play were that it was not needed and Forte did an atrocious job of selling it. I called that play on his first two steps. (as I think most of us did) I would have much rather he save that for Green Bay on Christmas or the playoffs. Better yet, when Forte knows how to sell it.

Calling all Martz haters
Here I am! Honestly, that's not a good game to make that analogy. I'm sure it could have been more of a blowout, but the high road is good practice against a division opponent. Good game!

More Forte stats
What are the details of what he it's asking? I've not heard.

More Forte stats
Stats are like one of my favorite sayings; "The greatest lie of all is the truth cleverly told". Forte's stats indicate hes the best in the league and one of the worst. It's how the stats are interpreted by film and what the offensive scheme is demanding. How is the player at practice, the locker room and community? Is the player picking up blocks, first downs and doing the dirty work to get your team in the red zone? How many wins did this player have a direct impact in? Forte should get a top 5 RB contact. How hard has it been for us to find a guy like this?

Postgame Eagles/Bears Thoughts
I thoughtCutler had good, but not great game. He did make some great throws, but made some poor ones as well. Couldn't agree more. At one point, he had at least 3 3rd down conversions. Steady with great hands. Love Earl. Forte had those fumbles, but was really good. Fingers crossed fir the kittens. Hell has truly frozen over for me! I am beginning to fall in love with this unit. (run wise) Louis is a beast. I dont care where he starts, but he has to be out there. He helps give our OL identity. Move him back to RG when Carimi is ready. Carimi is nasty too. Those two should fuel a nasty right side for years to come. They should take turns slapping Webb in the huddle to keep him aggressive. Agreed Disagree. Can't do that with Vick at QB. When you throw your hands up, you give up the ability to shed the block if Vick pump fakes, then he's gone. They got great pressure on Vick without losing containment. Great job by our DL last night. Agreed. Agreed. Side note: Starting to like this teams chances against anyone. Hate the two deep defense. Double hate Martz. He drives me f'n crazy with the some th calls he makes. Refs sucked last night. Could've cost us. Peppers is a beast and Url is still great.

Just signed this OLB...
You are not going to let this go, are you?
-
Pay the Man!!!!
I'm thinking there is some benefit for the team to get a deal done this year. They have 18-20 mil to spend for a reason. I'm thinking they can use that money this year and it won't count against next??? LT, if you are still following the post, can you expound?

Wilbon on TO
He didn't look to be moving very well at his workout. Very slow cutting and coming out of breaks.

Report: Chris Harris Released
My guess is, he became a distraction in the locker room. That's the only reason you release your best safety. With the impending signings that will need to occur in the off season. They probably decided it would help to do that business now. It sucks, because he will be needed before the season is out. I find out very understandable though.
-
How about this OL Lineup
That's something you do in the off season. Or if you are completely desparate...
-
How about this OL Lineup
My preference would be to leave Carimi where he is best suited to play. I also feel if Williams was a candidate to play LT he would have been moved there by now.

Kreutz Retiring
Just saw on ESPN that he has NOT decided to retire yet. Per his agent.
-
Hester HoF?....
I think he'll have to make it over 20 return TD's to make it. Deion still has the record, due to INT and fumble returns. Devin will have to separate from Deion to be considered.
-
Kreutz Retiring
He was one of my fav's for a long time. My guess is; they probably told him he was no longer in their plans as a starter and gave him the option of retiring or being a backup. Those moves occur all the time for the respected players.

What gives Pompei?
Dont get me wrong, I said F Martz from before he was hired. But, if Jay wants to be the leader and send a message to Martz, he should have called his own play. That's what Mac would have done. Jay needs to show a little more control and outward respect. I'm sure his team mates would have more respect on the high road with a little defiance mixed in. I do agree, it was a hatchet job article though.
-
What gives Pompei?
There's a lot of truth in that article. That being said, he or we don't know the truth about what type of day to day leader Cutler is. His team mates seem to support him.

I think what's the most telling is that no one would come here because of the "lame duck" situation Lovie was in. Yet another gaff by the regime. Martz is the OC no other NFL team wanted. Hmmm, we nailed that one. Typical JA and Lovie being smarter than everyone else. Turner was a scapegoat and actually would have been a better coach for Cutler to thrive under. He had the same crap OL and WR's that Martz has today. The only difference is Cutler; which I believe Turner would have protected and used more to his skillset. Too bad he had to be one of the sacrificial lambs we have seen too many of. This years candidates are: Martz, Marinelli and Angelo. If Ruskell is our new GM, I will vomit.

I admire your optimism, but find a fatal flaw in the reasoning. You are still trusting the people that have failed to deliver what has been needed year after year. What makes you think they are capable of pulling their collective heads out of their asses?
