lol @ hating on Cutler when it was the Bears o-line that couldn't block shit last night and look who he is throwing too

The OL looked like shit, but Cutler played a huge part of all those sacks because he refuses to get rid of the football. The guy is mobile, he can move, he can get out of the pocket and throw it away. Instead, he continues to sit there and slowly prod out of the pocket and try to fire it deep.

He forces shit time and time again or just holds onto it until he is sacked. He needs to get better at throwing it away or going down.

I also saw him run out of bounds for a 2 yard lass on 2nd and 7 when he could have easily thrown it away. Looked like he was more worried about his completion percentage than a 3rd and 9. He's a fucking idiot.

[FirstTimer]

It's important to note that the Bears OL didn't look all that bad against the Cowboys or Packers, two teams that run the 3-4 and run it pretty darn well, and then looked like complete shit against a 4-3 team like the Giants.

The first quarter/halfs of those games Cutler was getting shit on too though by the pass rush.

The Giants just didn't quit coming at all.

At points in the game with the Cowboys and Packers it wasn't as bad but Cutler was still taking shots, especially against GB.

Plus last night we had Jamarcus Webb and Eldin Jackson getting PT....WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY?

Collinsworth sounded like an idiot last night to anyone paying attention. On the Cutler INT he got all pissy with Cutler because he should have seen the coverage. Then, outside of two sacks that were Jay not taking checkdowns right away he was all over Cutler's ass aboutnot getting rid of the ball in a hurry.....to who and where Chris? They constantly showed views of the field with no WR's open. So does Collinsworth want Cutler to throw into coverage so Collinsworth can be all over his ass about "should have seen the coverage" or does he want him to hold the ball and take the hit so he can get all over Cutler about "not getting rid of the ball"?

Maybe Cutler needed to chuck it into the stands a few times rather than take the sack but he was still going to get hit either way and it doesn't change the fact that there were barely ever any open Bears WR's.

The Giants were in lots of deep zones. The interception Cutler threw was against zone. When you can get pressure with only 4 guys you can basically drop 7 guys into coverage and not have to man up. The Giants were playing lots of Cover 2 and Cover 3.

I remember seeing that and being like....WTF?!

Why on earth would a QB possibly do that when they can just flick it out of bounds? Show a little awareness for once.

You cannot blame that interception on anything but Cutler making a horrible decision. He had plenty of time and the defender was simply standing right where Cutler threw it. He wasn't getting hurried and he just made a dipshit move. Any team in the league could have made that interception, no matter what kind of defense they were playing. It was almost too easy to even give the Giants defender credit for it.

I didn't.......Cutler made a poor choice to throw to a covered defender...however read uptop my comments about Collinsworth....and put them in context. There were no Bears WR's open practically all night. IMO Cutler was trying to fit it into a tight spot between the two players and threw an inaccurate pass. Bad choice? Sure. However If he doesn't throw it and holds it then he gets shit for holding the ball too long. If he throws it into tight spots he gets shit on for stupid throws. I guess he could throw it away but then you have people "lulzing" at his stats. He's screwed no matter what he does most times...especially last night.

[Senser81]

All 11 players on offense played bad for the Bears. No sense in blaming this guy, too.

[Primetime]

It wasn't even a bad pass though. It was in stride to Olsen, but Olsen happened to have a guy in front of him that was nearly impossible not to see.

It's not about what people will talk about after the game. It's about what Cutler does for the team. That pick was much more costly than a sack or him throwing it away. I just can't see many guys in the league making that throw other than Cutler.

[zack54attack]

What was Cutler supposed to do? He was either going to get sacked, or throw the ball into heavy coverage, like he did on his INT.

If you watched the game, you would have seen the Bears bringing in 2 TE's or an extra RB to max protect. Almost every offensive play had Greg Olsen and A RB, or Brandon Manuelena and a RB, or both TE's back there to max protect. That leaves 2 WR's out there for Cutler to throw to. The Giants were dominating up front with their 4 man rush. No doubt about that. It was ridiculous.

Cutler simply had no choice but to sit back there and wait for one of our "GREAT" WR's to get open against the Giants defense. IDC who the WR's are, your not going to find 2 WR's in the NFL thats going to get open against 7 back there.

[FirstTimer]

It wasn't even a bad pass though. It was in stride to Olsen, but Olsen happened to have a guy in front of him that was nearly impossible not to see.

Olsen has had a tendency to be soft too in traffic. He gets bumped around a lot and tends to give up on routes. Maybe Cutler shouldn't assume Olsen will put up any sort of fight for the ball and it wasn't a great throw but "meh".

I That pick was much more costly than a sack or him throwing it away.

The Giants didn't get any points. It didn't kill a Bears drive(there was never any drive all night to be killed) It hurt his stat line. That's about it.

I just can't see many guys in the league making that throw other than Cutler.

Yeah thank God Cutler has never thrown a ball directly to a DB for a pick 6 in the Super Bowl. Look, Cutler gets shit for bad throws..and as well he should, he's made plenty of them but i think it's hilarious when people jump all over him for one throw in a game where he was getting his ass kicked with no context to the situation.

I understand that a lot of times there was nobody to throw to, but I refuse to believe that Cutler had nobody to throw to all night and that is why he took so many sacks.

There were windows and opportunities to throw the ball but they are only open for a split second. Cutler has to identify them and get rid of the ball when he has the chance to, if he misses that window of opportunity, he needs to figure out his next move - roll out and throw it away or throw it at the feet of one of his receivers.

There are plenty of ways to avoid sacks. Sitting there and looking downfield while big pissed off gorillas like Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora are hunting your fucking ass down is not one of them.

I don't buy that Cutler had nobody to throw to all night. Obviously, I can't prove it, because I don't have the game film and the camera angles that we get don't show the receivers and coverages, they typically just show LBs/DL/OL/QB, which is unfortunate.

And I'm not saying it is all Cutler's fault. Plenty of fault needs to be put on the receivers, the OL, and the backs. But Cutler has to improve in that area, there are no excuses for it and no other ways around it. He is taking way too long to make a decision.

[Primetime]

Olsen has had a tendency to be soft too in traffic. He gets bumped around a lot and tends to give up on routes. Maybe Cutler shouldn't assume Olsen will put up any sort of fight for the ball and it wasn't a great throw but "meh".

Olsen played that about as well as he possibly could. Should have been a pick 6 if not for Olsen's effort on the play. The defender stepped up in front of it and Olsen nearly jarred the ball away. Blaming anyone but Cutler on that play is merely laughable.

The Giants didn't get any points. It didn't kill a Bears drive(there was never any drive all night to be killed) It hurt his stat line. That's about it.

I'm not saying it hurt them on that exact interception, but when Cutler makes these throws consistently, it hurts them in the long run without question.

Look, Cutler gets shit for bad throws..and as well he should, he's made plenty of them but i think it's hilarious when people jump all over him for one throw in a game where he was getting his ass kicked with no context to the situation.

If this just happened in one game where he was getting his ass kicked, no one would be talking about it. It's a consistency from Cutler since he put the Bears jersey on. I'm not even trying to bash the guy that hard because he couldn't have had a good game anyway you look at it with that kind of pass rush coming at him. I'm simply trying to figure out what the fuck he was thinking on that play. I honestly feel like he just didn't give a damn at that point. Just looks like he had already given up.

Yeah..laughable....

Cutler made a bad throw. Olsen made no play on the ball. Frankly I think he was surprised it was even thrown..which goes back to it being a bad throw but whatever.

I'm not saying it hurt them on that exact interception, but when Cutler makes these throws consistently, it hurts them in the long run without question.

I wasn't aware one half was "the long run". He hasn't been doing it all season.

If this just happened in one game where he was getting his ass kicked, no one would be talking about it. .

Cutler has stood in for the past two season and gotten pasted. Questioning his toughness or moxy is off base IMO. Yeah the guy makes shitheaded throws but I've never thought he didn't care.
