  1. You want to read the full article but the gist of it is below:
  2. If you can't see the difference between Cutler and Grossman's situation, then frankly I can't help you, nor do I have any interest in trying to do so.
  3. I don't care what people say, that s*** he does is f***ing hilarious.
  4. Crybabyinsulting my intelligence again. lol, if you get eviscerated by Katie Couric, the notorious softballer, something is wrong with you. The AP got its hands on a copy of Sarah Palin's as-yet-unreleased memoir, which has already been a best-seller for weeks. It found a "folksy," "homespun" book that takes aim at just about everyone associated with the ex-governor's disastrous vice-presidential bid: McCain staffers, her makeover team, Katie Couric. Couric, she says, was condescending, "badgering," and doesn't know her energy policy. Many of Palin's gripes about her campaign handlers (like the fact that she wasn't allowed to give a speech on election night) are familiar, but she levels a few new charges. She says she was stuck with a $50,000 legal bill from the campaign that she wouldn't have had to pay had McCain won (a charge former McCain staffers deny). She also says the campaign was responsible for the family-wide makeover that made her wonder "if she and her clan came across as 'that' unpresentable." The one person who doesn't come in for criticism is her oldest daughter's ex-boyfriend. Levi Johnston, the father of Palin's grandson, isn't mentioned once in the book (although it's sort of hard to tell, seeing as how there's no index).
  5. I've seen people saying "start Caleb Hanie". Facepalm
  6. QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 01:01 AM) I wouldn't go so far as saying that those O lines were vastly superior other than the 06/07 O line,granted he did have better recievers and rbs. They were. Easily. They started falling apart in '07. Fred Miller could still block in '06 mostly. The '05 line (same as the '06 line) was really good. This one is the worst I've ever seen as a Bear.
  7. QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 11:49 PM) No. That's just the point. It doesn't "all" fall on Cutler. But for some folks, none of it falls on Cutler. I GET that Cutler has talent. I GET that he's way down the list of problems. Turner is a dope. Angelo built the worst offensive line in the league. Forte looks slow. And the receivers are inexperienced and not so good. I don't even like Kyle Orton, unlike some wackos who make it all about him. What I'm pointing out is something different -- a very weird excuse-everything-Cutler-does mentality that has started to creep into these discussions about the Bears. He's the quarterback, and he's turned it over a lot. And some of those -- yes -- are his fault. His fault. I would say about half the turnovers are his fault. Hester, Bennett, and Knox probably have 2 plays each where they just didn't finish their route for one reason or another. All of this falls in Cutler's stat column.
  8. QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 11:25 PM) Good, because he isn't He still somehow had over 300. He and Forte were basically the only ones doing anything out there tonight.
  9. The 5th INT was just a piss poor throw by Cutler. so 2 INTs on the night basically.
  10. QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 11:21 PM) alright guys...you know what time it is. Run Forte up the middle baby!!!!! No no no no time for a screen pass!!
  11. QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 11:00 PM) The routes they run well are those where they get beyond the linebackers. Deep routes where there is a lot of space. But all season long, on short plays they are skitish of getting decked. They either shy away from contact or stop their routes altogether. I've seen Knox and Bennett do this several times, that accounts for some of Cutler's INTs
  12. QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 10:48 PM) He put the ball where the receiver was. Thats what a QB is supposed to do. If the receiver falls down, gets bumped or turns the other way its not on the QB. Certain INTs are on the QB. Thats not one of them. Only one of the INTs tonight (the red zone) was actually Cutler's fault.
  13. The 3rd INT was also on Hester, although more excusable since the ref was there and he had to cut his route short. Hester really hasn't contributed much positively to this game.
  14. QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) Attn Lubbie: Your timeouts don't carry over and you can't cash them in at the end of the game. Feel free to use them with 1min left in the half Remember when he called that timeout in the playoff game against Seattle and almost gave them a shot to get back in it? lmao
  15. I wish there was a stat for INTs caused by WRs. Cutler's probably had half his INTs this year caused by that.
  16. That INT is completely Hester's fault, he fell after Cutler threw the ball.
  17. QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 09:06 PM) Another one? If the DT didn't get that there were still two more red jerseys in that ball's path. I'm gonna attribute that 50% to s*** playcalling and 50% Cutler trying to force the throw.
  18. QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 09:01 PM) Like I said,the Oline sucks but Forte seems a step slow compared to last year. Cutler to Olsen,that'll work Forte finally got a hole - see what happened there?
  19. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 08:53 PM) Drive around it. Or use the fancy thing you just bought to jump over it. Turner's been calling TONS of pass plays because he can't run, because the line f***ing sucks. It's really not Forte's fault.
  20. QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 08:49 PM) Two runs into the line and then a 2 yard pass to the flat is the epitome of Ron Turner How is a run into the line Turner's fault? What the hell?
  21. QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 08:43 PM) Forte looks like he's running in quicksand,I realize the O line stinks but come on Ugh,another 3 and out How can you get out of first gear when there is a brick wall in front of your car?
  22. QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 08:38 PM) wasn't his point, but ok It wasn't his point, but normally I'd take the side of the Bears when someone starts talking s***. Not this year. Prove something to me first. Prove anything to me. Anything at all.
  23. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 08:04 PM) O-Gun goes over and gets into the face of Vernon Davis during pregame warm ups. Glad to see someone has some pride. Now lets see if they can carry that on to the field. Davis's s***-talking was deserved, these guys f***ing suck.
