He possibly cost us 2 games. If he made the kick he missed in Minnesota we possibly would have won the game or had a better chance. So we could be 7-5 and by beating Minnesota in 2 weeks we would have made the playoffs if we win out. I now there are a lot of ifs but for a kicker that can't kick touchbacks and misses important field goals coupled with the large salary for the next 2 years I'm sorry I would move on unless he restructures.

On the salary Robbie is earning he needs to make the earlier kick in the Minnesota game and this game that is 2 wins. Blair Walsh out kicked him the Minnesota game. If he makes the kick I would look at keeping him even if the salary is high but when you don't do your job then your position will be looked at. Also his kickoff' are poor.

Why does Jay get slammed to the ground with his head pounding the ground but Aaron Rodgers barely gets his face mask touched and gets a 15 yard penalty. Officiating is a joke.

I would rather have my teams competing and being in games than being annilated week in week out and going 2-14, 3-13 and getting a high pick. This is a team game and with good drafting you can improve the team. Look at Seattle's good drafting from round 1 to 7 and good coaching staff to develop the players you have picked. For me I am pretty much happy with season considering how injuries have impacted on our season such as Jeffrey and Royal being banged up and White needing the operation. Other than some blown assignments at times the defense as been an improvement over the mess that was Mel Tucker. I am also happy that we aren't playing the outdated cover 2 that Aaron Rodgers just cuts through like butter. This year was about changing the culture in the building and evaluating the roster. Players such as Forte can stay for a home team discount or he can walk if he wants the money.

Thanks Robbie 2 loses down to the kicker this year. Overpaid kicker got to let go in the offseason.

Why does McManis get on the field on defense he hasn't made a play all season. If I was an opposing QB I wouldpass to the player who McManis is covering because he is useless. I don't care what he is supposed to do on special team which doesn't seem much to me. He is a liability. Game eventually came down to Robbie 'Michael Jordan' Gould missing his field goal. Don't make me laugh we could save cap space with that overpaid muppet

Ziggy Hood what are your thoughts he was on PUP list and just released injured in September with a foot injury. Is he likely to contribute. I thought he was an OK player with the Steelers. He's 28 so may have some mileage left.

Hi all Is there any truth in this.

I am not implying I would still want B Marsh on our team but I bet he would be playing now if he was having an injury similar to Jeffrey. I still think he is not putting himself forward to play because he is a free agent next year and wants to be fully healed after this season. I bet if the Bears signed him to a long term deal this weak he would play on Sunday. I would franchise him next year and see how White does next season and then look to trade him. He is injury prone and what is the use of having pro bowl talent on the sidelines apart from eating up useful cap space.

I think Shea has played really well this year but defense improved when he went off. Both inside linebackers hit harder and I think that made a difference although Charles going off injured may have also swung the game in our favour.. Would be great to hit the bye 3-3 and then get healthy especially at wide out. I thought Grasu improved as the game went on.

ESPN JUST STATED A 6TH ROUND PICK SO GOT THE PICK BACK FOR KARI LEE

I would TAG him and then over the remaining games this year and the games next year see how he performs. If he keeps getting injured I would let him go. As said before Brandon Marshall would have probably not missed any games. Jeffery needs to get fitter to avoid these injuries or if he is injury prone it a waste of time having a number 1 receiver who is always injured. Also if White as a big 2016-17 we may not need to spend big bucks on another receiver. Maybe we can pick up some studs on defence instead. I am hoping we can trust in Pace to start drafting players who can contribute and the quality coaching staff can turn around some of our players such as Shea that are considered as busts.

I wonder how injured Alshon is. Funny that he couldn't make it last week against Patrick Peterson and now this week against Richard Sherman. I wonder if he's suddenly available to play the Raiders in week 4. If he was shut out by Peterson and Sherman without having Marshall opposite him would he still get paid as a no. 1 receiver. I bet if it was Marshall he would have found a way to play. So do you give him big bucks next year.

I am looking forward tomorrow. I just hope our secondary is out of position like the Steelers in Game 1. Mind you getting rid of Major Wright, Chris Conte and Tim Jennings should enable us to have a marked improvement from the last 2 years. I am looking forward to us kicking the cheese heads arses. I was listening to ESPN on Friday a thought this like was amusing but it may be offensive to some people so view with discertion. Green Bay 24 Chicago Bears 31

On the draft trade chart the 7th is worth 1700. The 13th is worth 1150 and the 31st is worth 600 totalling 1750 deal would be slightly in our favour so we would gain the equilivant having the 26th pick in the 4th round. Or do you stay with the 7th because this player may be elite.

Finally changed the DB coach. Everyone raved about Hoke but never developed a safety. Surely that is on Hoke.

Draft a RB in an area that is likely a strength when we have some many holes. Why not pick at 7 for an elite player or trade down to about 10 to 12 and then move up from our 2nd to get back into the 1st and take the MLB.

until this year I was a cutler supporter and now I'm indifferent. I would forget his play this year and ask the question can you win a game with him and history says yes. The next question is can you improve on the QB position or does getting rid of him disadvantage you. 1 can the Bears afford to use a high pick on a QB in the next 2 years and is there a QB in the draft good enough to take. 2 can the Bears improve the QB position in free agency 3 can the Bears trade Cutler without giving up draft picks and paying his salary Regarding point 1 I don't consider the Bears in. Position to draft a QB we need a RT, MLB, C , CB, FS, SS and a speedy WR. Also is their a QB that you would take in round 1 to 3. Regarding point 2 there is no free agent QB out there that will improve the Bears Regarding point 3 the only way I trade Cutler is at the least we don't give a draft pick or pay any of his salary. He is still a veteran QB and in my mind still has value.

Enjoyed game today first time in weeks I won't be pissed off all week. Good result for us regarding the draft and hopefully Detroit will beat the cheese heads. Have a good Christmas everyone on Talkbears

Maybe Trestman hasn't been able to make this decision until now. That pass to Wilson when he got injured was a great throw and route.

This is how this offense should be run. Looks like you have to totally buy in and Cutler hasn't. I hope whoever decides what direction we go in next year will look at the whole season objectively because Consideration needs to be taken into whether Cutler has Disabled this offense all year.

I have always been a Cutler fan. This offense requires mechanics especially foot work. The choice is either run an offense that doesn't great mechanics and keep Cutler or trade him and dare I say give Trestman the chance of working with a QB he feels he can work with. The whole team look like they are putting an effort in for Trestman enjoying this game although I would like to lose the next 2 games and get a better draft pick. That would be good and Detriot knocking Green Bay out of the playoffs if that is possible.

Looking at various articles Jay was diagnosed just before his 25th birthday in 2008 the year he went to the pro bowl. Being traded to the Bears in 2009 there is obviously a chance that diabetes has affected his performance. I am a social worker and have good working knowledge of how debilitating this disease can be. It can cause serious vision problems, confusion and tremors which are symptoms that could easily affect a QB ability to play at a high level.. Although Jay can sometimes be considered petulant and aloof at times he would never use his condition as an excuse for his play.

With the media furore and the fans venting their frustration I hope whoever makes the decisions after the season is over does it rationally and without emotion. The first thing that should be considered is do we want to go through a Chicago Cubs rebuild i.e. Get rid of Emery, Trestman, coaches and playing staff because if they clean house from top to bottom then whoever comes in will change the players. Whether a rebuild is or isn't required should be determined with the following observations: 1. What affect they last 2 seasons can be attributed to Angelo's drafting. If you look at Greenbay the majority of their roster is built from drafting. This gives you more options for building a roster and not have free agents come in like Peppers and cripple your franchise. Also we may have drafted a QB and not needed to give Denver those no. 1's for Cutler 2. Can Emery and the player evaluation team start drafting players that are comparable with Green Bay. 3. Is Trestman able to keep the players, coaching staff bought in that he is able to lead men. The trouble currently seems that he is giving them ownership of themselves hoping they can make the right decisions that are required to help the Bears achieve their goals. Is this philosophy naive and do they need greater direction. 4. How much influence has Lovie's players like Briggs, Peppers etc. had in the past 2 seasons an in someways sabotaged the new regime. 5. Can we win with or without Cutler. Is it possible to take the poor decision making made by Cutler by really running the ball more. Is the oline good enough because I feel the biggest weak link in the line is at Center. If you protect from the inside out then surely the Center is the most important position. What are our options if we choose to cut or trade Cutler. Howdoes his salary cripple this team. I have used Green Bay to judge ourselves by because they seem to be doing things the right way and until we can complete and beat them we are going nowhere.
