I hate this offensive line with more passion than I've ever hated anything before. Just truly awful.

You know what? I believe you.
The Bears are worse than this thread title. This is not fun. Go Hawks.
They can't even run a play at this point without at least one guy on the line just flat out getting beat. You can't play football, or at least successful football, when that happens on every single fucking play.
This is hard enough to watch, but now no HD? What the hell?
Finally get a first down, and then a freaking false start to get behind the chains again.
Can they go for 50 straight failed 3rd down conversions?

That's quite enough of that from you, thank you, Mr. Potty Mouth.
Oh, when Thom Brennaman gets a number that he can repeat over and over to torture fans with, it sure is fun to listen. Guh.
Thom's actually way down the hate list for me today however. Jerry Angelo, Mike Martz and the offensive line are taking the top spots...
1.1 yards per play. And that's actually better than I thought it was.

Your first sentence is for true. Guh.
How is this team up by 4 at halftime?
They'll also get the ball after the break.
I love Jay Cutler. Next person I hear bad mouthing him's getting beat up.
Like the challenge from Lovie right there, with this team's struggles at the goalline I think it is the right move.
Another PANK challenge by Lovie. Good grief, amirite?
Hey, a QB sneak!
Jesus Christ.
How can you NOT challenge that play? Yikes.

I wasn't blaming Cutler. I guess LOLin Kreutz doesn't possess enough veteran savvy to keep from getting PWNED by Albert Haynesworth.
And now the Redskins are saved from a pick six by delay of game penalty. The NFC ladies and gentlemen!

And I wasn't being serious even though what I said may have been technically true.
Why is Troy Aikman so scared to say "That was a TD by Cutler" as opposed to "That's close, I dunno."? Is he that scared of saying the refs were wrong? Or are they supposed to not take stands and be known-bullshit taking pussies
And why is it that the dead ball foul didn't have a whistle blown to stop the play.

Don't you remember that, though? It was the *other* Lions game that season--the other being when Marty Mornihnwig failed to decline a penalty which would have supported his strategic move to kick off to start the second half? Only in this game Harrington got sacked for a safety--or fumbled in his own endzone or some shit-- at the end of the game but the Lions had some illegal procedure, dead-ball infraction, nullifying that play?
Awesome times.

I didn't get that game on TV in Indy and listened in my car parked in front of my apartment. Oh, how I'd tried to forget. Thanks a bunch. IIRC, that game was the straw that broke Jauron's back per Jerry Angelo.

You can't make that throw when in the red zone. Just can't. Shouldn't throw it anywhere, but particularly when inside the 20. You would think he would've learned after last year to just take the sack and at least give your team a chance for 3 points. Unreal.

Maybe he's tired of taking the sack and that's why he elected to go for the backbreaking turnover instead.
Cutler - million dollar arm with a ten cent head
Troy Aikman now is the celebration police. Yikes.
Cutler has thrown four or five passes off his back foot in the 3rd, with two of them picked. Needs to stop that if the Bears have any chance of winning this game.
For this drive, I'm going for deflected pass for a pick at the 2.

This game really deserves to end up in a tie after all the shit that's happened today. What awful football from both sides.
That sound of the ball hitting the goalpost pretty much sums up this fucking weird game.
The Bears defense is playing it's best game of the year if you discount JD LipGlossen and whatever the fuck that was. Please win this.

Catch. The. Fucking. Ball.
Oh now you call holding you fucking fuckers.
Chris Williams now has more catches than good blocks in this ballgame.
That was less of a hold than the holding the officials missed in the third quarter. Fuck these officials too.
Just don't turn it over. I think the Bears can get it to field goal range if they don't turn it over.
Unbelievable. Simply unacceptable football.
I just want Jerry Angelo, Lovie Smith, Mike Martz and all the offensive linemen but Kreutz gone from this organization as soon as possible. Guh.

I don't know. He hasn't had a good offensive line with the Bears at all, and it is showing right now as he doesn't have the confidence to set up solidly in the pocket and look at all his receiving options. But, he has to get MUCH smarter with the football and quit fucking throwing off the back foot. At some point, either he'll learn or the Bears will have to cut bait. If the cap comes back into effect... Then, with his contract I think you give him at least through the end of the 2013 season. If there's a change to the cap rules concerning cutting players with large salaries (Or if the cap simply never comes back), then maybe just through 2011 if he doesn't show progress.

You just thrive on it.
So if the Bears don't trade for Cutler, Orton gets murdered behind last year's offensive line. Hanie leads the Bears to a 2-14 record, Lovie and Angelo get fired and somehow they draft some decent linemen and maybe a quarterback falls into their laps. Possibly.
I'm not saying I prefer that scenario, but if the question is asked, "Would the Bears be better off had they not traded for Cutler?" This and several other scenarios pop into my head.
I feel really awful right now. Really fucking down, man.

No. Cutler seems to find ways to lose games for the Bears instead of win them.
Million dollar arm, ten cent head.
In any event, this should be the final season for Lovie Smith and/or Angelo.
Let me clarify. I give Cutler maybe a third at most of the blame for the turnover shitshow that we've seen in his Bears career.
My high school memories aren't nearly as vivid as Yeti's, so I'm not sure that I'm qualified to comment on QB mechanics. But to me, Cutler shows a tendency to get lazy with his reads and mechanics when things aren't going his way. And that tendency gets magnified like an ant under 6th grade Tdubbs's magnifying glass when you put him on a team with no continuity on the offensive coaching staff, an offensive line more disgusting than Huey's next fistula, and a group of wide receivers about as agressive as BC at a Christian Radio Professionals Mixer.
But just because the guy is surrounded by shit doesn't mean we can't at least try to judge his individual performance. Compare him to a hateworthy asshat like Rodgers, who over the last couple seasons has had an offensive line that's probably comparable to Cutler's in shittiness, but has only turned the ball over 18 times in the midst of 64 sacks. Cutler on the other hand - sacked 62 times while turning it over 37 times. A rough comparison but still not good.
I'm sure if the Bears cleaned house after this season, brought in a GM who could draft some offensive linemen and receivers who were worth a shit, and a coach/offensive coordinator who could coach them up, this offense could be ready to win in a few years. But if Cutler is surrounded by this ineptitude for much longer, I wonder if he might just fall into a permanent funk of sulking and sucking. I wouldn't necessarily blame him.

DPD. Those sentences. Remember how happy you were when you found out the Bears finally traded for a rocket armed franchise fucking quarterback? Then compare that to the pit in your stomach while watching today's abortion. God. Dammit.
At least McDaniels and Ortman are getting fucking rolled by the Raiders right now.

But just because the guy is surrounded by shit doesn't mean we can't at least try to judge his individual performance. Compare him to a hateworthy asshat like Rodgers, who over the last couple seasons has had an offensive line that's probably comparable to Cutler's in shittiness, but has only turned the ball over 18 times in the midst of 64 sacks. Cutler on the other hand - sacked 62 times while turning it over 37 times. A rough comparison but still not good.
I'm sure if the Bears cleaned house after this season, brought in a GM who could draft some offensive linemen and receivers who were worth a shit, and a coach/offensive coordinator who could coach them up, this offense could be ready to win in a few years. But if Cutler is surrounded by this ineptitude for much longer, I wonder if he might just fall into a permanent funk of sulking and sucking. I wouldn't necessarily blame him.
I'll say this about RV, he likes his similes.
RV drops similes like Gil drops dollars into g-strings at lunch.

Would I be overreacting to say that I'm giving up on Cutler winning a Super Bowl as a Bear?
No. Cutler seems to find ways to lose games for the Bears instead of win them.
Million dollar arm, ten cent head.
In any event, this should be the final season for Lovie Smith and/or Angelo.
Let me clarify. I give Cutler maybe a third at most of the blame for the turnover shitshow that we've seen in his Bears career.
My high school memories aren't nearly as vivid as Yeti's, so I'm not sure that I'm qualified to comment on QB mechanics.

And that's when he tries to force things, especially in the red zone. Granted he has crap around him on offense, but in those moments when things are working he does something incredibly stupid. It was the difference in today's game.

Devin and Knox both failed to come back to the ball on routes that Hall had jumped. They just sort of jogged behind the play while Hall took the ball away. The pick 6 and the final coffin nail were both Cutler's fault and nobody else's.
Still, they blocked much better after the first quarter. The running game got untracked for awhile and stayed that way. The defense played heroically. Six turnovers though. I insist this team is 8-8-ish and they actually could improve enough to slug it out for a division title - which means something no matter what people like Chuck will say. It's not looking good on the whole but it's not over yet.

Shades of Joey Harrington and the Lions in 2002.
Which means something. What it is is hard to define.
Don't you remember that, though? It was the *other* Lions game that season--the other being when Marty Mornihnwig failed to decline a penalty which would have supported his strategic move to kick off to start the second half? Only in this game Harrington got sacked for a safety--or fumbled in his own endzone or some shit-- at the end of the game but the Lions had some illegal procedure, dead-ball infraction, nullifying that play?
Awesome times.
I didn't get that game on TV in Indy and listened in my car parked in front of my apartment. Oh, how I'd tried to forget. Thanks a bunch. IIRC, that game was the straw that broke Jauron's back per Jerry Angelo.
The Lions-Bears game at Ford Field in 2002 featured the Detroits scoring the winning TD in the last minute of the game AFTER the Bears stopped Detroit on 4th and Goal and apparently won the game. Illegal shift on Schlessinger.
The second game was at Champaign in which Jim Miller relieved Chris Chandler, couldn't throw and was pitching to Marty Booker to attempt any pass > 10 yards. It went into OT, Detroit won the toss, decided they didn't care about their city's economy as much as PenFoe does and decided to defend the goal that was in the teeth of a 15 MPH wind. The Bears moved the ball quickly, Detroit accepted a penalty they should have declined, and Edinger took a break from drunk driving on lawns in Florida to kick a winning field goal.
DJ Moore's second INT should have counted. The Bears should have been 5-11 in 2002. That's all.
How's IAN doing today?

The play clock was on double-gooses before the snap. It actually flashes on and off when it hits zero. That the officials didn't see it and blow the whistle prior to the snap, allowing the ball-bursting turn of events to unfold seems like bullshit to me. The change in momentum didn't affect that Bears defense though, as they still got their three & out. Sour-tasting as it was they still needed it badly. But the turnovers... God damn.
I'm done being bummed about this. My cousin is paralyzed and he had to sit in his fucking wheelchair and watch the same damn game. Now what? Some things just aren't such a big deal. Fuckall.

http://startkyleorton.blogspot.com/2010/05/jay-cutler-and-aaron-rodgers-or-all.html Since I've long since given up any pretense of Not being a blogwhore, I'll just link to that rather than copy and paste my explanation of why Aaron Rodgers offensive line was much, much better than Jay Cutler's last year regardless of any straight up comparison of sacks. Mostly the fact that Rodgers chucked it deep often and the Packers actually had a functioning run game. I'd throw out last year and look at the situation this year when comparing them, as both are on teams that have largely abandoned the run game due to injury or ineffectiveness and both still have leaky pass protection issues
Rodgers: 14 sacks, 9 turnovers
Cutler: 27 Sacks, 10 turnovers.
Rodgers is still the better QB, but he's been much more turnover prone this year because his offensive line this year is actually bad as people made it out to be and Green Bay's in the same situation as Chicago, where chucking it 35-40 times without the consistent threat of a running attack is the only way to move the ball, and defenses know it. Frankly, Jay sucked yesterday. It was embarrassing and should never happen again. I've got no qualms about saying that. What makes me so fucking tired (NOTE: RV's not doing this, nor am I accusing him of it) is that I hate how one bad game in 6 starts once again overrules everything he's done since the Minnesota game last year and invalidates him as a professional QB in the eyes of the mob. I'm done dealing with it. If you hate Jay Cutler, fine. I had to listen to a bunch of idiots in an airport in Seattle of all places blame him for every ill in the Bears universe BEFORE he threw pick #1. I can't win with these mouthbreathers. This city doesn't deserve a quarterback.
There's room on the bandwagon for the Giants' march to a first-round bye and subsequent one-and-done in the playoffs.

That's not the problem for me. For whatever reason Jay is careless with the ball in the red zone. One would think after being criticized for turnover the ball over in the red zone multiple times last year he would learn and be more careful. There he is again yesterday throwing one up for grabs of which was the difference in the game. Everything else is forgivable, but he has to stop giving the ball away in the red zone with stupid throws.

You might say he has a million-dollar arm and a ten-cent head.
The 4-0 start notwithstanding, this never was a playoff caliber team. So what difference does this loss make?

I'd throw out last year and look at the situation this year when comparing them, as both are on teams that have largely abandoned the run game due to injury or ineffectiveness and both still have leaky pass protection issues
Rodgers: 14 sacks, 9 turnovers
Cutler: 27 Sacks, 10 turnovers.
Rodgers is still the better QB, but he's been much more turnover prone this year because his offensive line this year is actually bad as people made it out to be and Green Bay's in the same situation as Chicago, where chucking it 35-40 times without the consistent threat of a running attack is the only way to move the ball, and defenses know it. Frankly, Jay sucked yesterday. It was embarrassing and should never happen again. I've got no qualms about saying that. What makes me so fucking tired (NOTE: RV's not doing this, nor am I accusing him of it) is that I hate how one bad game in 6 starts once again overrules everything he's done since the Minnesota game last year and invalidates him as a professional QB in the eyes of the mob. I'm done dealing with it. If you hate Jay Cutler, fine. I had to listen to a bunch of idiots in an airport in Seattle of all places blame him for every ill in the Bears universe BEFORE he threw pick #1. I can't win with these mouthbreathers. This city doesn't deserve a quarterback.
That's not the problem for me. For whatever reason Jay is careless with the ball in the red zone. One would think after being criticized for turnover the ball over in the red zone multiple times last year he would learn and be more careful. There he is again yesterday throwing one up for grabs of which was the difference in the game. Everything else is forgivable, but he has to stop giving the ball away in the red zone with stupid throws.
You might say he has a million-dollar arm and a ten-cent head.
I probably won't, though.

Would I be overreacting to say that I'm giving up on Cutler winning a Super Bowl as a Bear?
No. Cutler seems to find ways to lose games for the Bears instead of win them.
Million dollar arm, ten cent head.
In any event, this should be the final season for Lovie Smith and/or Angelo.
Let me clarify. I give Cutler maybe a third at most of the blame for the turnover shitshow that we've seen in his Bears career.
My high school memories aren't nearly as vivid as Yeti's, so I'm not sure that I'm qualified to comment on QB mechanics. But to me, Cutler shows a tendency to get lazy with his reads and mechanics when things aren't going his way. And that tendency gets magnified like an ant under 6th grade Tdubbs's magnifying glass when you put him on a team with no continuity on the offensive coaching staff, an offensive line more disgusting than Huey's next fistula, and a group of wide receivers about as agressive as BC at a Christian Radio Professionals Mixer.
But just because the guy is surrounded by shit doesn't mean we can't at least try to judge his individual performance. Compare him to a hateworthy asshat like Rodgers, who over the last couple seasons has had an offensive line that's probably comparable to Cutler's in shittiness, but has only turned the ball over 18 times in the midst of 64 sacks. Cutler on the other hand - sacked 62 times while turning it over 37 times. A rough comparison but still not good.
I'm sure if the Bears cleaned house after this season, brought in a GM who could draft some offensive linemen and receivers who were worth a shit, and a coach/offensive coordinator who could coach them up, this offense could be ready to win in a few years. But if Cutler is surrounded by this ineptitude for much longer, I wonder if he might just fall into a permanent funk of sulking and sucking. I wouldn't necessarily blame him.

It was a 4-1 start. And what exactly is playoff-caliber in the NFC? The World Champs got pasted at home by Cleveland and Seattke holds a commanding lead out west. I guess the Falcons are the big dick now? Nothing is fucked here dude. It's not exactly fun to watch, this new NFL where every team is mortal as dick and anybody can back into the playoffs at 9-7 and contest the Super Bowl down to the final play. But it's something something and at least all the players are
not on PED's.

At least things are more cut and dry in the AFC, where the vaunted Ravens got pushed to overtime at home by the winless Bills. Yet, here are our beloved Bears, completely eliminated from playoff contention despite holding the division lead in Week 7 via a tiebreaker over the Packers who are critically fucked by injuries.
Woo fucking hoo.

Through week 6: 475. I had a nice week 6 @ 86 points. Vaulted me from 8th to 2nd. If the Bears hadn't been gutless fucks against Seattle, I would have had an extra 13 points. That's the last time I make them a "sure thing".

Let me put it this way. If this was a playoff caliber team the offensive line would not set down a welcome mat in front of Cutler each time that they break the huddle.
How awesome was San Diego (-3) vs. New England? Totally awesome, I say.

I think you miss the point. The Bears offensive line is terrible. In most years I'd be with you in saying it'll keep them from the playoffs, but you know what? Cutler's managed 247 yards per game in spite of those sacks. They'd have won yesterday if Cutler doesn't throw four picks that were no one's fault but his, or if Lovie had challenged the right play one play after challenging the wrong one, or if Matt Forte doesn't fumble for the 9,000th time since last year's Falcons game. Every other team in the NFC has at least one unit that blows as hard as the Bears offensive line or, like the Packers, is decimated by injuries. To say that the Bears are a good team is a pretty big stretch, but to say they're worse than all of the other 4-3 or 3-3 or 3-4 teams in the NFC playoff hunt this year is an even bigger one.

In theory, I agree with you. But the simple fact is, that with slight improvement even that pathetic group of gutless assholes can allow the offense to be productive enough to score 20 points per game, which looks like enough given the way the defense and special teams have been playing all year. This team hasn't been blown out yet and looked overmatched like it did against Arizona, Cincy, Baltimore and at Minnesota last year. That still might happen as nobody is looking forward to seeing them play NE or NYJ. But the other games that looked scary a couple weeks ago? At Minnesota, at Green Bay, at Miami and vs. Philly? Uh-uh. Relax. Take a sip of brandy and a pull off a Jewport* and see how it all plays out.
*sorry.

Next year, sure. They don't care who plays. $2/week. $1 goes towards weekly (which is a payout of around $50) and the other dollar goes towards the yearly. How many points do you have so far, stud?

THIS. My reasons are just because I'm in it to win it in my football pool. $500+ goes to the year-end winner and I was second, behind first by 3 points after last week. I got a total of 53 points this week, with 7 to be decided tonight. FM Betting L.
How many points do you have on the season?
Through week 6: 475. I had a nice week 6 @ 86 points. Vaulted me from 8th to 2nd. If the Bears hadn't been gutless fucks against Seattle, I would have had an extra 13 points. That's the last time I make them a "sure thing".
Can I play in your pool? I'd like $500.
Next year, sure. They don't care who plays. $2/week. $1 goes towards weekly (which is a payout of around $50) and the other dollar goes towards the yearly. How many points do you have so far, stud?
After this week: 570 or 576, depending on what the Gain'ts do tonight.

Wait...how is Tebow going to keep the Broncos defense from sucking?
He's not going to keep anything from sucking, except his girlfriend prior to marraige. OH! GIGGEDY-GIGGEDY-GIGGEDY-GIGGEDY-GOO!
I was tempted to ask how the Broncos defense giving up 52 points to the Raiders dooms Orton's career, but then I proceeded to read the rest. The Tebow dong-chugging is just icing on the meatball cake...
QuoteThis defeat will leave a scar on true blue Broncomaniacs
QuoteOnly Tebow can save McDaniels now.
QuoteStubborn and stupid is no way to go through life.
QuoteWhat are the Broncos' playoff chances now? Well, take the Olympic record time in which veteran Champ Bailey bolted from the locker room without a peep, divide by three, and you get a big, fat zero.
QuoteSooner rather than later, the lone way McDaniels can silence the booing of Broncomaniacs directed at him will be to send Tebow marching into the Denver huddle.
"Broncomaniacs"? Do they call
themselves this?

The 4-0 start notwithstanding, this never was a playoff caliber team. So what difference does this loss make?
It was a 4-1 start. And what exactly is playoff-caliber in the NFC? The World Champs got pasted at home by Cleveland and Seattke holds a commanding lead out west. I guess the Falcons are the big dick now? Nothing is fucked here dude. It's not exactly fun to watch, this new NFL where every team is mortal as dick and anybody can back into the playoffs at 9-7 and contest the Super Bowl down to the final play. But it's something something and at least all the players are not on PED's.

Jeebus. Pretty good. 72% Efficiency. I guess I'll be sitting at 528 or 535 (and I put some faith in the Cowboys, stupid me). But seriously, if you want to play next year, then you can. We can do this shit over PayPal, and you can rape my coworkers and me.
Or, hell, you could start now. It'd still be $2/week, but you'd have no shot winning the yearly, but weekly? You got yourself a nice shot.

"Broncomaniacs"? Do they call themselves this?
Orton was terrible in the first half yesterday. His first pass was a pick 6. And we've known for a long time that he is simply not that great at football. It took me about 8 years to reach that conclusion. So, forgive the columnist for waiting until now to recognize the folly of counting on him for anything more than caretaking of an offense hat needs Jesus to help overcome the lack of talent on that entire roster. Ol' Josh got rid of all those clubhouse cancers and surrounded himself with "winners." Such a fucking tool. He's the professional equivalent of every high school coach you've ever hated.
"My way or the highway" etc... Whatever, douche. Don't let the doorknob hit ya where Timmy's Good Lord split ya.
QuoteThe humiliation of a 59-14 loss to Oakland will forever be stamped like an "L" on the forehead of Orton so long as he wears a Broncos uniform. Whether he starts one or 12 more games for Denver doesn't really matter. Orton can never again inspire real hope in this town.
This implies that Orton once inspired "real" hope in Denver. Did Broncos fans fail to notice that Orton was white, had a neckbeard, and was not named Barack?

One of my co-workers is a huge Broncos fan. I figured if anyone would have noticed, it would be him because he watches every Broncos game. So I wandered over to his office a little bit ago and he says that he
did not fail to notice any of these things about Kyle Orton shortly after he joined the team.

That's good investigative reporting, folks.
