The Bears trade for Cutler.

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

:lol: at fuzzstradamus

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....

    • After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off 
    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.
    • Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
