Yeah, that sounds kinda lame...but, also...I guess they are pointing out that the University of Minny field has not been used for awhile and is, well, frozen solid.

No idea how much softer Soldier Field was last week in that weather. Still...they do have a point.

Well...that puts to rest who's the tougher atheletes...NFL OR NHL.
Hockey players play on rock solid ICE...and the Bears are bitching about a frozen field.

Cutler comes to mind as being the first to cry about the field.

Haha.

The ref just got in a linemans face from San Fran..

Good shit.

TLyoung'un

That ejection was bullshit.. damn ref on power trip

Costco

what a terrible game. Our pass defense is shit, period. Our QB situation is

It seems our defense is just as inconsistent as our QB play. Beat the crap out of the Seahawks and got the crap beat out of us the next week. Just plain outplayed... finding out that the Chargers were 19-1 in December since '06 kind of made it suck less. Make that 20-1 now. Good luck to whoever faces them this December.

and the Chargers have the #1 defense this season?!?! wtf.... well, it sure looked like it.

Osamu

I know, is there really no other QBs out there?
Matt leinart have a job? speaking of USC QBs, Vikes even had Booty for like a year...
Hell, I'd give Colt Brennan another chance.

p.s. vikes need luck, andrew luck, that is. reunite him w/ gehart sounds good to me.

Terrible season for the 49ers....hope they draft a good QB for the next season.

The 9ers need to pick a QB and stick with him. Flipping from Smith to Smith does nothing for the team except create instability.

Troy has done pretty good in his starts. Why not build around him?

Bears' Cutler Concerned About Playing Surface

" Cutler said the players feel helpless when it comes to having their feelings heard by the league regarding the playing venue."

Yumcha

Figures Cutler would be whining...

we took our Dome team to chicago in the 06 season NFCCG in the pouring snow...

they get their advantages in home games already.. quitchabitchin...

sho_nuff1997

Haha. Cutler is such a whiney cunt.

Yumcha

Almost as whiney as Brady. But, at least Tom has a hot wife, an actual O-line...and Superbowl rings.

CocheseUGA

Brady whines very little compared to Cutler.

I'm surprised Vick didn't try to fight Cutler when they played this year.

Scottman111

Couldn't agree more

Yumcha

He has some maturing to do; Cutler, that is.

But, he's the most talented QB Chicago has had in...ever. So, upgrade over anything I've seen in recent memory.

bgsm1th

McMahon?
maybe even Harbough??

Scottman111

What would your buddy Cade McNown say if he saw that comment

svtmike

Sid Luckman?

bgsm1th

Def. a Bears great, but Yum said "recent memory" and I can't say I've seen him play or know much about him...

Yumcha

I was very young at the time and back then, it was Sweetness ruling the offense. And after that, a lot of hand-offs to Neal Anderson. I don't really remember much of Jimbo.


As for Harbaugh, he doesn't have the arm strength Cutler has. Put it this way, if Cutler had some semblance of an O-line, he'd have some good numbers. I'm not his biggest fan but he's the best QB, talent-wise, Chicago has seen in a very long time.

Yumcha

Keep in mind, I'm saying talent. His bone-headed passes and lack of an O-line pretty much nullifies some of it. But, he's still got the tools to be an elite QB...

Will he put it together and get the cast to help him? Who knows.

jupitersolo

McMahon had the toughness and balls to be the QB for that team, I think it would have been hard for another to do it, with that team. If was a good QB, I enjoyed watching him play.

bgsm1th

Cutler might have a decent arm, but that's it. I think his Football IQ is akin to that of Water-S.

He might have a porous O-line in front of him, but he does NOTHING to adapt to situations. When you get sacked 4 times in the first half, logic would dictate it's time to abandon the 7-step drop and look for the quicker dump-passes when the D is throwing 8-men at the line.

I've seen 4 or 5 games this year and his lack of ability to adapt is befuddling.

jupitersolo

If he was walter-s stupid he'd never have been a QB in college.

Culter IS NOT the one who calls the plays, it's up to the OC to change the game plan based on what the defense is doing to them.

Culter is and has always been a pocket QB, if the O line can't give him protection. He might roll out some, but...

CocheseUGA

Well, he did willingly go to Vanderbilt to play football.

jupitersolo

Yeah, because a lot of real stupid people attend there.

svtmike

He also said "ever".

svtmike

There are a good number of Vanderbilt players in the NFL. I don't hold that against him.

CocheseUGA

People can't fucking read today.

jupitersolo

You posted as he was stupid enough to go to Vanderbilt, maybe fucking write want you to say.

CocheseUGA

Do you need a dictionary? Did my last three words not post to your screen?


My comments aren't directed at Vanderbilt University - one hell of an academic institution. I'm saying if you want to go to the NFL, Vandy usually isn't the route. Irrespective of what douchebags at Illinois did to Cutler to force him into going there.

jupitersolo

It still got him into the NFL, along with many of players that have gone there. Seems to be smart enough to get into a Uni that rated in the top 20 year after year.

Yumcha

Hey, try to keep it civil folks...

Anyhow, bgsm1th, as jupes wrote, the 12 million step drops were more the play-calling than Cutler being stubborn. That of course, does not absolve him of his bad passes off his back-foot or the costly INTs in the red zone (i.e. forcing the ball into quadruple coverage).

That being said, Cutler's time in Chicago has had 2 things going against him: a bad O-line and a new offense to learn every year.



And no, I'm not at all comparing Cutler to Brady...but, for effs sakes, Brady's been in the same system since the beginning of time and his O-line has ALWAYS been fantastic. Give any QB that with some talent and well, you'd have HoF numbers too.

CocheseUGA

Pretty sure I covered that.

He'd be a better NFL QB if he went to a college with better football coaches. Or an athletic department.

jupitersolo

Yeah, that's the reason... doesn't matter as to the other items everybody else is talking out here.

Yumcha

Wow...so much for McNabb. Grossman starting.
