Tell you what: Give Cutler what Brees or Brady has and let's talk numbers.

And before you get super-defensive, realize that I don't care about Cutler (in an robot-Apple-love way). So, you can insult him all you want. It won't hurt my feelings.
you emphasized my point though...

he is the only QB in the league that can have average stats, but an amazing game.
the blame is always on somebody else.

btw... brees has a release time like nobody in the league... the NO front line isnt exactly the greatest. he just gets rid of the ball before anyone is allowed to touch him.
we have recievers, i'll give you that, but when drew brees has a crappy game, nobody runs around blaming the line or the receivers..

forte can run for 100+ yards, the line is pushing, and creating holes... methinks somebody just needs to fire the hot potato a bit quicker, and with a little more accuracy.

there were several passes last night that had nothing to do with drops.. but overthrows and behind the reciever.


and yes, i watch all NFL games that are televised whenever i am home.

I'm not a Cutler apologist...but, he is not in a situation where he can succeed. Certainly, the adjustments lately are trending in the right direction. But, you also do realize that Martz's offences have statistically always have been the MOST sacked. Many, many 7-step drops contribute to that.

Add to this a porous O-line that has yielded amongst the most sacks in the League and a WR group that is mediocre, you have Cutler's so-so numbers.

Give him an actual decent offensive scheme that plays to Chicago's strengths and let's revisit how good/bad he is. So, quick drops, more screens...

Watching a highschool game would be more interesting than anything CFL...a league of has-beens and hacks where 80% of teams make the "playoffs"

WTF is up with the Chargers. I thought for sure they'd pick off Palmer another 3 times. And of course VJax disappearing again.

Moore had a couple of good weeks a while back but with Ford, Hayward-Bay, Murphy, TJ it's going to be a coin flip.

True. I'm f-cked because my top 2 receivers are Nicks and Manningham. At one point I had Cruz also, stupid autodraft

^much friendlier looking than the pics and vids I've seen from the preseason game at Candlestick

Seeing your team win in "their" house is always super satisfying!!!...especially when your guys can make Phil look like a highschool freshman!!

8-1 has a good ring to it, go Niners!!


But Jeebus, preventing third down conversions was our Achilles heel this game.

[vent]....so I guess my turning to Netflix -- immediately after the Jets first drive of the game ended in a missed field goal -- was justified. I think the era of this Jets team peaked during the divisional playoffs last year. I'm not that confident that we'll finish ahead of the Fins this year. [/vent]

I was hoping everyone else (other than the Niners of course) would lose in the NFC West, that would have given us another week closer to clinching a playoff spot. Oh well.

Man the Eagles have the same record as the Cards. I wonder if Andy Reid benching DeSean was worth it. It may have cost his job.

Thanks Seahawks. I won $150 for them winning. Ravens just can't put it together. If they qualify for the playoffs they could be dangerous as they seem to beat only tough teams.

Fixed. I'm not a believer in the Texans and the Jets are clearly on the decline. That said, the AFC is so wide open this year.
