Already? We are down 14-0 and Philly has the ball and we received the opening kickoff. We have had 2x 3 and outs and the entire team looks like crap.

Nice 3 and out on the bounce pass, I guess that was also not Cutler's fault.

Trestman is resting the players while they are on the field. Great plan.

Great job Hester, all you have to do is kneel and we will be better off.

Hell no defense looks like crap, but 3 and outs don't help.

There is no rhythm to the offense when he plays and doesn't call the correct protections (Forte on wrong side) on sack.

Ugh, Cutler with 3 and out.

Wow,we can give ourselves a bye, lol. Win tonight and you clinch, also Philly is playing in a meaningless game as they will still have to beat Dallas next week. Huge game for us.

Maybe he is planting the seed for Philly to do the same. We are essentially in the same position if DAL or GB win, Week 16 would only impact seeding and not a playoff berth. However, I can't see either team doing that because you play to win every game.

We want Dallas to win. If Dallas loses, then Philly can win the division by beating us. If Dallas wins, then our game becomes irrelevant because regardless of the outcome their Week 17 game vs Dallas will decide the division. The risk for them is getting someone hurt against us in essentially a meaningless game. They can beat us or lose to us and will still need to beat Dallas. So that is huge. The others are obvious, and we can clinch the Division this week if DET and GB lose and we win.

That is huge, I would love for GB and DET to lose before our Sunday Night game.

He is also doing that with arguably the best WR duo, top 3 RB, and top 10 TE in the league. I can't imagine what type of numbers all those other QB's would have with those playmakers. These next two games will be huge for Cutler. If he excels and we win, he will be in for a huge payday. If he falters and we lose, it will be a hard sell.

Adding a TE would be a waste unless he was a Graham/Gronk caliber. Otherwise, Bennett is good enough for that position. I just don't see the value in the first unless we are going OLine again. A speedy slot WR maybe in the top 3 rounds. We really need to address the aging defense in the first few rounds, otherwise we will get even worse before we get better.

Logical location for him, and the team makeup seems to fit as well.

He needs to improve in the Red Zone and limit INTs.

That is huge, according to this analysis, the Briggs loss was the biggest factor in the run stopping ability of the defense. http://beargoggleson.com/2013/12/18/lance-...rs-run-defense/ We are really going to need him against the top rushing team in the league.

The best part is that the season ultimately comes down to these last two games. If we are a playoff team, we need to show it and win against these on-the-cusp teams. Philly is also vying for a playoff spot and GB has a chance to sneak in if they win out. If we can't beat both of these teams, we don't deserve to make the playoffs. Going a little deeper, assuming CAR beats NO, and we win out, we would be the #3 seed and would play NO in Chicago (pay back). SF would play at PHI/DAL. If we could win that game, we would play in CAR and SF (assuming they win) would play in SEA. SF is basically a lock for #5 and the loser of the CAR/NO game will be #6.

Yeah he was getting a 2nd opinion and obviously they said he needed surgery. About 6 months of recover, so if we want him, he will be ready in May.

That was an odd game because based on the stats, we should've scored more. Minnesota is 4-3 at home and 0-6-1 away.

FG from 49 yards on 2nd and 9.

GB has been like that since Favre. Even having a serviceable defense makes you competitive.

The look on the Lions faces when he made that was epic. So many expressions of disbelief.

Thanks for posting. So if Cutler is better, he technically should have a better QBR than McCown in comparable games? If McCown is playing the easier schedule and is a lesser player, shouldn't the QBRs be almost identical? This begs the question, if McCown and Cutler both have a top 10 QBR in this offense, do we really need to pay a QB $15+ million a year to throw to these playmakers?

Yes it is. We have never had a true QB controversy and the winner gets Marshall, Jeffery, Bennett, and Forte.

I would love for that to happen. First things first, we need Baltimore to win. With the Sunday Night game in Philly, the day time temperature was going to be in the 50's with a chance of rain, and that will dip to the high 30's by game time. Minny dropped 48 on Philly without AP. If Cassell, Jennings, and Asiata can do that, we should be able to put up big numbers with Cutler, Marshall, Jeffery, Marshall, Forte, Marshal, Bennett, and Marshall.
