QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 09:12 PM) I don't know what to say about this team really. The defense is ok, special teams is decent, but the offense is ridiculously inconsistent. The line for the most part wasn't very good but they weren't an abortion either, the receivers were awful and Cutler completely collapsed in the second half. The line played very well in the 2nd half, as they gave Cutler a lot of time and even created some holes for the running backs.

Ballgame

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) f***ing pathetic Cutler One of the worst 2nd half performance you can imagine by Cutler. Not just the picks, but his incomplete passes weren't even close.

Holy cow...disgraceful!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) Any guesses on how this drive will end? I say the ball will bounce off Olsen's hands into a defender. Fumble recovery by Washington after Cutler gets sacked

QUOTE (daa84 @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 08:51 PM) idonije was a yard and a half offsides there MORONS I missed the first half when Washington had the ball...did Peppers do anything? Idonije has been getting good penetration at least today. Huge stop there on 3rd and 1!!

I will never understand how defensive linemen line up in the neutral zone. That could easily be the ball game.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 08:45 PM) I saw the replay of that last pick and Knox definitely quit on his route. He did, but I'm not sure it mattered with the way Hall jumped it. Just a great play by Hall. I think these Bill Simmons tweets sums this game up perfectly. @sportsguy33 I don't think Jay Cutler is throwing the Redskins game, but if he DID throw it, today's performance is what it would look like. 24 minutes ago @sportsguy33 I don't think Donovan McNabb is throwing the Bears game, but if he DID throw it, today's performance is what it would look like. 29 minutes ago

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) Is this the worst football game ever? It's crazy, as nearly every other play has resulted in a turnover or near turnover.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 08:40 PM) how bout a goddamn double move on the next drive...pump the slant with knox and let him destroy hall down the field It's funny, as Martz has gone with the short passes that everyone's been begging for. I'm really just worried about Cutler's psyche right now, as he's in the Bad Rex mode of Good Rex/Bad Rex.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) Cutler has played awful lately, but that was a piss poor route by Knox. D. Hall has been the most aggressive playeri n the game going after the ball.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 07:37 PM) I don't get the Bears game, but really, no. If Cutler hasn't recovered from the concussion he shouldn't be out there. If you only need a couple inches and you have 4 downs, a sneak makes very good sense on the first play, since the odds are it'll be nearly impossible for it to lose yardage, and you're not going to get fumbles very often since there's not even a handoff. If you're a yard or two away, then you go to the RB because you can't get that on a sneak. But the QB sneak is just inviting free shots at your vulnerable QB.

Holy cow, does he have a concussion again? The throw before that to Olsen was worse than the pick.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) finally a break This game has been crazy...he was very close to being down there.

Can we also now state how f***ing idiotic it was to do a QB sneak with Cutler during the 3rd quarter on 1st and inches? Coming off of the concussion a few weeks back, at least give Taylor a try for a TD.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 07:28 PM) i agree with this...that pick was not entirely on hester at all....could he have broken the play up? probably...but cutler telegraphed the throw enough to let hall jump the route Maybe it was me, but it also seemed that Hester lost his footing on the play (as he does on about 50% of all pass plays to him).

The good news is that the offensive line is playing great in the 2nd half (compared to their typical performance)

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 07:24 PM) Dude, you seriously need to open your eyes. If by disasterous, you mean one bad pick in the red zone, a td on a QB sneak (which it was, regardless of the call on the field), and Hester turning an incomplete into a pick, than whatever. Oh and they moved the ball the entire 3rd quarter. So seriously, you need to take a step back before you post this drivel. I'm sorry, but blaming that first interception 100% on Hester is so wrong. It was a good ready by Hall, and I'm not completely sure how Hester could have broken up the play. The amount of excuses made for Cutler baffle me. He played a great 2nd quarter and was playing great up until the reviewed Bennett play, but 3 turnovers in a span of 10 plays = disaster in my opinion.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 07:22 PM) Oh shutup, That was just a dumb dumb mistake by Cutler had nothing to do with the play before. So we can't expect our running back to be able to break a tackle in space? But I do agree with you, it was a dumb mistake by Cutler and now he seems completely frazzled.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 07:21 PM) how many ways can you blow a game here 1.) challenge a play bennett was clearly down on 2.) not challenge a play that was clearly a TD 3.) fumble said play 4.) Throw a pick in washington territory 5.) throw a pick 6 on the washington 10 yard line In addition you had a pick 6 taken back by a stupid delay of game penalty ....ugh Agreed, it's going to be a long two weeks if the Bears go on to lose this game. They dominated the 3rd quarter, and we're now losing.

That 3rd and pretty long was all set up by Forte's complete inability to ever break a tackle in the open field.

Ugh, Cutler with a disasterous 3rd quarter.

Bears now like 0-11 on 1 yard to go for a TD plays this year?

Lovie, you f***ing idiot. You deserve to get fired for not challenging that.

That's a TD by Cutler!
