Oh Boy

And then we completely forget we have 3 6'4+ targets in the red zone...ugh.

So there's no gameclock right now...

7:12 left in the quarter according to ESPN.

Cutler being Cutler again.

One of the only times all day Cutler gets pressure on him and he does that. He just isn't good enough.

Mike Evans is Tampa Bay's silver lining this season.

These teams f***ing suck.

Cutler being Cutler again.

 

Somebody needs to tell him taking a sack is better than getting picked off.

Great run Forte

Rams might actually beat Denver.

For as good as the offense has looked much of the time today, it's baffling how infrequently they've been able to convert into points. That has been true throughout the year. No ability to close. Looks like we'll win this one, though

I love not being able to know how much time is left as we get under a minute

All told, not a bad day for Bears. We still saw flashes of head-scratchingly bad play, but both sides of the ball can sleep well tonight. I assume special teams never sleeps at night

You have to wonder how a team can get 40 some-odd yards on a punt fake...

Packers already up 24-3 with 10 minutes left in the second quarter.

 

I know the Bears looked like s*** last week, but this Eagles team is one of the best in the NFC and they're getting destroyed in almost every possible way on defense.

Packers will be in the Super Bowl

It's amazing how much better the offense looks when you let your stud receievers make plays. I don't know where that's been all year. Given how Mike Evans has been playing, the Cutler/McCown showdown could end up being a shootout.

 

The 4-6 Bears are 3 games out of a playoff spot. The 4-6 Falcons would host a playoff game if the season ended today.

Mike Evans is Tampa Bay's silver lining this season.

He's an absolute stud.

Makes you question Johnny Football a little more. How many times was he bailed out by the Mike Evans jump ball?

So where is Rodgers going to rank on the all time QB list when he's done? He's the best I've ever seen, better than Peyton and Brady...

I think he is better than Brady but Manning is number 1.

I've said many times and I will say it again. Cutler is a much better QB when he rolls out of pocket and buys more time with his feet. But often times he forces a throw on his back foot when staying in pocket. That play was Rodge-esque.

Trestman doesn't seem to think that is a good idea. This takes away so many of his big plays by oversimplifying everything and making it about quick pre-snap reads, etc. I just think Jay is a very bad fit for what Trestman is trying to do but again, Jay has to stop giving the ball up so much anyway. I say trade him if we can or bring in a defense coach and figure with the weapons and a solid OC who focuses on the run, we can protect Jay enough if we can rebuild the D to be completive with Jay while we try to find a new QB.

 

By the way, this more just shows how bad Minny is then the Bears being all that good, imo. Jay had some awful turnovers in this game but at least he also had a number of very big plays and the offense appeared to be opened up quite a bit more. I still don't know where and why we don't run the ball more.

I think coaching is a lot of it but also the players. We don't do the little things necessary to win and finish drives, imo. At least they f***ing threw the ball downfield. So pathetic how long that has taken. It was like we remembered we have big guys that can use the rest of the field and we can move our QB in the pocket a bit. Novel concept.

 

Trestman really isn't the offensive genius he is cracked up to be. Not in this era of the NFL.
