Cutler finishes with a 104.7 passer rating. He must not be so bad after all. I wonder what Mike Martz and company have to say now.

 

And Trent "I suck at life" Dilfer, Tony"If i didnt have Peyton Manning i would never have won a SB" Dungy and Tim "i wish i was my brother " Hassellbeck

 

27-38 236 2 tds

 

That is all we need week in and week out

I was at the game and let me tell you, given the pressure and everything he had to see, he was absolutely stellar. It was the best QB performance I've seen out of a Bear in a long long time. Jim Miller had that run of a couple games and Kramer had some, but what Cutler did was against the defending super bowl champs with rookie WR's.

 

freakin phenomenal game. I literally can count only a couple of plays that he actually missed all game. One was in the 1st half where he missed Knox on what would have been a 20 yard plus completion on 3rd down. That really was about it.

 

HE made great quick reads and beat the blitz numerous times.

Here's what has to be the most impressive QB stat line I've ever seen for a Bears QB. This is just what he did against the blitz but this was against the Steelers in game 2 with Cutler still getting a feel for our playbook, with three new Olinemen, and Knox and Bennett in their second games. (I know Bennett saw the field a bit last year but no rec)

Kudos to Don Pompei for analyzing the game film!

The tape shows the Steelers brought five or more pass rushers 11 times, and Cutler absolutely slew the blitz. He completed passes on nine of the blitzes for 106 yards. On those 11 blitzes, he had a 137.1 passer rating, a completion percentage of .810 and an average per completion of 11.7 yards.

We will be a totally different offense the next time we see the Packers versus what they saw in game one.

Who is Tony Dungy to open his mouth? He wins nothing in Tampa but then his replacement (Gruden) wins. Then, Dungy comes to Indy where a good running game, a stud safety, a great QB, and 2 elite WR's are waiting for him, where he finally wins a Super Bowl after numerous times with them, too. Sounds like a good coach to me.. :rolleyes:

Regarding Indy, just to add to the pile, but when he was hired, he was forced to keep the same OC in place, thus he can't even take credit for the offense which led to the SB win.

 

frankly, I can't stand Dungy. One. I think he is over-rated. Two. It is because of him that I suffer through my Bears playing this f'ing cover two. Three. I can't stand how he seems to always be up on a high horse and/or soap box.

Count me in you list of folks that aren't impressed with Dungy...

Dungy did build those Buccaneer teams and you could make a case that Gruden's win was really Dungy's. And since Dungy left Tampa we saw the Bucs turn into a pretty bad team (yes they won a superbowl, but they've since slid pretty good).

 

A large chunk of that is because a lot of players have gotten older but Dungy did a great job in Tampa and a pretty damn good job in Indy. He's an above average coach.

Really? I thought Wyche drafted Brooks, Lynch, Sapp, et al? I think Dungy only brought in Shaun King...

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Buccaneers

 

"During Dungy's first season in 1996, the team continued to struggle, starting the season 1–8. But in the second half of the season they finished 5–2, primarily due to the performance of a defense ranked seventh in the NFL led by Hardy Nickerson and the maturing of Wyche's draftees Brooks, Lynch, and Sapp. Dungy, a devout Christian with an even-tempered personality, quickly brought balance and morale to the team, and his Cover 2 defensive scheme, sharpened to perfection by defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin and linebackers coach Lovie Smith, became the foundation for Tampa Bay's future success. Their version of Cover 2 was so successful that it became known as the Tampa 2. It has been brought to the Chicago Bears by Smith, Detroit Lions by Rod Marinelli, Kansas City Chiefs by Herman Edwards and to the Indianapolis Colts by Dungy himself, and copied by several other teams"

 

He probably is above average as you say, but I think highly over-rated for all the apparent accolades he currently gets.

McKay?

 

I thought McKay was pretty well credits w/ adding all that talent over the years. In fact, I think you could point to the departure of McKay as easily as Dungy as to why TB has slid. They got old, but more important, they have not been able to replace older talent w/ young talent due to a lack of drafting.

 

To me, Dungy is a lot like Lovie (or the other way around). Dungy was too one sided. In TB, he always had great defenses, but lacked any semblance of an offense to win it all. After he left, there is no question "his" defense helped win the SB, but the reason they won w/o him rather than w/ was the addition of an offense to that defense, which Dungy was not capable of developing.

 

In Indy, he helped improve the defense, but the key there was he had an offense in place already, and was frankly not allowed to mess w/ it. He was told the Indy OC would remain. Not only is a HC told who he has to keep or hire, but it happened here. Basically, Dungy ran the defense and the other guy (and Payton) ran the offense, and the result was a SB.

 

But I would argue Dungy never proved to be a well rounded coach. He had a great D in TB, but that wasn't enough to win a SB. And while he won a SB in Indy, despite the props he always gets, he really was not too much more than a glorified DC.

Yeah, i think it was McKay...I just remember Wyche as the coach at that time.

 

I can't argue agasint any of those points!
