Cutler: 17/36, 277 yards, 1 TD, 4 INTs

Delhomme: 7/17, 73 yares, 0 TD, 4 INTs, 1 Fumble

No contest

That's like being winner of the tallest midget contest, especially given the way that final interception went. I'd add that little shove of Clay Matthews wasn't exactly a shining moment.

Cutler didn't respond well in a pressure situation yesterday. That's a worry, especially with the Steelers coming in.

With that said, there's plenty of time to correct it, if he responds well to coaching. But even if that happens, the Bears have a number of other issues too.

I really don't care about the shove- I'd rather see some fire from my QB then a roll over and die, who cares attitude. I agree that it's not much of anything to hang his hat upon, but he DID get the players around him involved- his #1 WR was part of the mix, got a TD and other players were in it as well... that can't be said about Delhomme, unfortunately. What did Smitty end up with? 23 yards or something?

I actually disagree with you there- he had a horrible 1st half, then came out for the second half and led the Bears to scores on 3 out of 5 possessions. Other than the final INT, I think he did a good job of manning up in the face of adversity... he had his team in the lead with 2 minutes left in the game... so he didn't completely poo the bed... which can't be said about Delhomme

Thanks for the week 1 end all, be all judgment... talk to me again after week 17

Don't worry, I will.

I just laugh at any fanbase that thinks that they had jesus in pads given to them. I guess I am more of a guarded optimism type of person.

Someone got rid of him for some reason.

Lest you've been living under a rock, I think everyone understands that Jay's exit from Denver was not related to his level of play

Jay will improve, the pass rush is back and the secondary actually played better than most expected it to, except for that last play or lack there-of by Vasher(who tackled well most of the night). O-line needs run blocking improvement and the Urlacher/Pisa losses are frightening. Hopefully my Bears can fill the voids and continue on w/o too much relapse. GB and Chicago punched eachother in the throat for 60 minutes and the Bears suffered the biggest losses while Minnesota beat the all worldly Browns and the Lions continued to be the Lions.

Didn't say it was because of play, although it has more to do with it than you may want to accept.

I would say that quote about any FA signing in which a team gives up MASSIVE amounts of anything to get said player.

The Bears coaches and FO gambled their jobs, lets see if they win big or crap out....

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
