http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AoBr...o&type=lgns Long article about his sentiments while watching the Vikings game. This is at the end:

12 plays and 2 yards in the 2nd half.

Most yards giving up by the Bears since 1982.

Favre was staying in to just break a record.

I also think there is a misconception with the theory "just get him the ball". Very few players are successful in multiple positions. Hester was a top 3 all-time return man, and that does not equate to anything as a receiver. Catching a ball and running thru 3rd string LB's and RB's spread over 50 yards is much different than lining up one-on-one against a first string NFL defense. He has much more value returning kicks exclusively and being brought in on select offensive plays.

Odds on game ending with a Cutler INT?

Smith reminds me of Eeyore, "oh bother".

Actually, it is probably that way with most coaching styles as they all eventually run their course. However, some styles burn out much quicker than others.

At this point it just seems like Lovie lost the team (it happens). His style of coaching only works for so long.

Cowher is the polar opposite of Lovie and is exactly what this organization needs.

My point was the only highlight for the defense was Tillman's strips. That was the only way we stopped the Eagles.

5 Steps 1. Fire Smith/Turner, bring in Cowher, Shanny, Gruden, or Dungy. Allow them to bring in their own Coordinators. 2. Draft O-Line and sign O-Line via FA 3. Trash the Cover-2 4. Trade Hester 5. Trade Olsen

2/11 is a big chunk of the defense. They were 4th and 6th in tackles, 3rd in sacks and INTs on the team. That is pretty significant. Also, they were using Kampman wrong, so his numbers are down.

Cutler mechanics have went into the shitter. On some of his throws, it looks like he is just winging them up there and expecting receivers to catch them regardless on how bad they are thrown or where they are thrown. He had two throws like that down the middle that were lofted over the receiver and in front of the safeties. I believe Olsen was one of the receivers. Who was he throwing to? Miscommunication, etc can only be used as an excuse for so long. The over throws to Olsen and Hester on back to back plays were crazy. Also, how do you overthrow Knox?

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=Aug_...p&type=lgns and they have a short week playing Detroit on Thursday. I know we have our own issues, but that sucks for them.

I agree. If Tillman doesn't make those 2 strips, we lose by at least 14.

Cutler is not playing good, and there is no way anyone can continue to defend his performances week in and week out. Regardless of the offensive line, the running game, etc, he is missing easy passes. He has to take advantage of those plays, and he is not. For how good everyone said his accuracy is, he has had some terrible throws the last couple of weeks.

At this point, I do too. The expectations were not as high. Now mine are so low with Cutler that a game without interceptions is awesome.

Cutler was horrible again tonight. No excuses. You can't overthrow that many wide open receivers in the NFL. How many games have ended this season with a Cutler INT?

The Refs are definitely impacting this game. A ton of non-calls on Philly. The Eagles are clearly out to disrupt the Bears routes and will take the 5 yards vs Pass Interference. Seems like Cutler lacks depth perception. It is sad when a good half is no interceptions.

Eagles 31-17 Bears Cutler 3 INTs (1 in Red Zone)

I believe that the formations would be true for most teams. The more you spread them out, the better chance you have at positive yards.

Right now Cutler is making too many bad decisions in the Red Zone. That is where he is killing the team. On the first Red Zone INT, if he just throws it away and we kick a FG, that last one never even happens. Gould would be in for a potential game winner with a few seconds left and Cutler would be a hero.

It is going to be ugly for the next couple of years. This team has a lot of holes, lack of draft picks, and some aging vets.

The two picks in the Red Zone were unacceptable imo, and those were the two that were his fault. As a Pro Bowl QB, you have to know when to throw it away.
