  1. Defense only allowed one offensive TD, and 10 pts were a direct result of bad special teams. Seattle was only 5-15 on 3rd down (at home). I know there are no moral victories, but the defense didn't really play that bad. A lot of Seattle's yards were after the game was well in hand. I was not impressed with Seattle at all. So we have now lost to 3 of the top 5 teams in the league. Look what Arizona did to SF today.
  2. Refs not doing us any favors. Punt clearly hit Seattle player and we recover and they don't give us the ball.
  3. I posted this in another thread, take the Bears Defense and add it to one of the worst offensive lines and any QB would play much worse than expected: https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/...iss-jay-cutler/
  4. That is way too conspiracy theory-ish. He missed almost all of the preseason and probably came back too early or did too much too soon and was not conditioned enough after the time away. For his contract, it will have to be evaluated after the year. The missed games are hurting his numbers, so every game he misses, he is losing money.
  5. The most concerning part is that SMC is the only guy in the shot with 3 GB players running around without a defender. So he had to be covering an area and trying to react to the QB. In regards to the INT, Gase has mentioned numerous times how far ahead Cutler was than the receivers in learning the offense, and Bennett missed some camp time, so I have to believe it was on the TE. Looking at how Cutler threw the ball, you could tell he was trying to stop the throw right when he released which resulted in the low wobbly throw. I will have to look back, but Bennett has been in on a fair share of Cutler's bad interceptions.

    Long at OT

    Does being right or left handed help on one side or the other? Do you move naturally one way or another? Long is left-handed, would he be more natural on the left side having dominant hand on the outside, or on the right side with dominant hand on the inside? or does that not matter?
  7. He hasn't been at any of the team's offseason programs or workouts; I would be shocked if he played. Injury risk is really high.

  9. You see, nothing to worry about. We just played the #2 and #3 team in the Power Rankings, which means 28 other teams would also be 0-2 against those teams. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...aign=sf13361848
  10. I remember him on some draft boards for the Bears in the 2013 Draft. At this point, I don't know how he could be much worse than Fuller.
  11. Let's see how many games the Cowboys win without Romo and Dez. They very well could be 3-7 before they both are back. The Bears have not had their top 2 WR's and starting DT in Ratliff; Mundy was also a starter put on IR. With Jay out, that is 5 starters missing out of the top 22 next week. That is a lot to overcome when you need everyone to overachieve to have a chance. Penalties have killed us and special teams coverage has been weak. If we don't have that ridiculous amount of penalties and stop that KO return, the game might be a loss, but it would not have been a blowout.
  12. It might sound crazy but Kyle Orton played in Denver with Fox and Gase. So did Tebow.
  13. Most had us 0-2 after these 2 games anyway. We had the lead at half before losing to GB, and we were playing close with Arizona before the wheels came off.
  14. Pretty good article about the type of pass protection Cutler has had in his career (not good): https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/...iss-jay-cutler/
  15. The Bye is not until Week 7. I did see the replay. Now I wonder if he actually tweaked it on one of those other planned runs and then just fully strained it on the INT. Based on the throw, he might have actually hurt it then because the ball came out funny.
  16. Because it is only one win, essentially we all could be 1-2 next week (except that we play the Seahawks).
  17. The Seattle game was a loss anyway, their home opener and they are 0-2. Also, I don't know how you can declare a QB out 2 weeks with a hamstring injury already, yet a WR with a hamstring injury is a game time decision. Sounds fishy to me.
  18. Peyton Manning has thrown Pick-6s in back to back games, and they won both. Wilson was 19-30, 206 yds, 2 TDs and 1 INT (4th Quarter INT) against GB and Cutler was 18-36, 225 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT against them. Cutler is not really a problem, or if you think he is, he is nowhere near the biggest problem. After two games, he has a better QBR than Peyton and Eli Manning, Brees, Foles, Newton, Flacco, Smith, Bradford, Stafford, and Tannehill against two of the better teams in the NFL.
  19. There are currently 8 0-2 teams, with a potential for 9 if Indy loses tonight. Seahawks, Ravens, Eagles, Giants, Lions, Saints, Texans, and the Bears. The interesting part is that only the Bears, Eagles, and Giants have faced teams that are both currently 2-0. The Lions opponents are 2-2, meaning the only teams the Lions opponents have beat are the Lions. For comparison sake, we lost to GB by 8, SEA lost by 10. I know it looks bad right now and the Cardinals game completely got out of hand after the Pick-6 and injury, but up to that point it was competitive (and that was after the initial KO taken back for a TD). Cutler's only incompletion was the Pick-6, and he had a perfect Passer Rating before that play. This was also with Alshon and Kevin White. I am not worried about the offense. The defense is a different story. We can't get pressure, and our DB's can't cover anyone. I am surprised at how ineffective Houston, Young, and Allen have been.
  20. jason, 10 players sounds about right. If we can bring in 1-2 via free agency and 2-3 via the draft, it will take 2 more offseasons (Year #3) before we are truly competitive.
  21. We also played 2 of the best teams in the league and will face a 3rd one next week. These first 3 games were going to be brutal either way.
  22. I think we also just broke the team record for penalties and penalty yards in one game.
  23. Thank god they missed that extra point, because now we are only averaging 39.5 pts against per game instead of 40.
  24. 8 point game we and we get the ball first. Our defense has only allowed 108 yards, so they have not played that bad. Until the pick-6, our offense and Cutler were near perfect.
  25. Wow! Jared Allen deflects pass and then intercepts it?
