a gun to his head right now after watching QB throw interception after interception or make statements after games like night that the WHOLE offense needs to improve.

Bears-Niners, the aftermath: Three days off until the next non-victory Monday

Staff report

Morning, Bears fans. Did you have the same dream we did last night? Total nightmare. Five interceptions, six points, seven games to go.

That wasn’t a dream?

There is some good news to be had in the next three days: The Bears are off. Sure, they were plenty off Thursday night in San Francisco. But the next three days of no media and fan reminders of What Might Have Been-2009 Edition means the Bears can also escape a Sunday without losing — or playing the Browns.

If Rick Morrissey and David Haugh are right, the lights went out on the Bears — and that means the Franchise, Sid Cutler, just got a little scarier.

Even scarier than those five picks. Said Cutler: “We saw everything coming. They didn’t have any surprises for us.” So what’s worse? That he saw it coming and didn’t do anything about it — or couldn’t do anything about it?

Cutler now has 17 interceptions, the leader by a mile-high. Or, in movie terms, NC-17: No chance-17, not safe for children.

Is it too late to give Kyle Orton the key to Cutler’s city? You’re right, they already did that.

The worst part of all of this losing through 5/16ths of the season as the Bears have gone 1-4: Steve Rosenbloom gave up “Project Runway” to watch that stuff. You go girl.

One other kernel of news: When the Bears travel to Minnesota at the end of the month, kickoff will come three hours later, at 3:15, so Fox can show a bigger audience what Brett Favre does to that defense.

So happy Friday, Bears fans. The NFL ain’t coming back to these parts for a long, long time.

You can watch Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning on Sunday. Now are you ready for some football? That’s it. Buck up, champ. Let’s go get ’em.

would have tuned him out. they have 2 opposite playing philosophies so i understand why cutler was traded. the team wouldnt have truly been mcd’s if cutler was there. living in chicago, i love last night! went with some of my bears friends to buffal wild wings to watch the game. i was shouting GO BRONCOS after every pick haha. it was great. chicago is a mess right now: bad coaching, poor leadership, and no draft picks…..

and I would be really pissed.

at the meeting between McD and Cutler, but I think Jay was horrified at the prospect of having to accept coaching and instruction. Based on my life experience I’d say that Cutler is hopelessly lost in his own self reflection and cannot be coached. The project of team rebuilding that McDaniels had in mind would never have worked with the Jaybaby still on the team. Those that think that the Broncos would be so much better if he were our QB are assuming he would be like Orton, a guy doing everything he can to be what coach wants him to be. The opposite would be true. Cutler’s attitude would have destroyed the whole project.

As I was typing, your post came up broncoboy so I’ll post this as an agreement with you, but I think it would have been way worse than a simple disagreement between coach and player.

I know this doesn’t matter, but it was something I was thinking about when I was wathing the game last night.

I don’t feel like our team has any chance when we’re down multiple scores late in the game this year. Jay at least gives you a glimmer of hope.

That said, I’m glad Chicago is terrible because we have their pick.

Jay give you a glimer of hope when you’re down by multiple scores ? Really ? Chicago defense play well in the Green Bay, Atlanta and SF game and the score was close, did Jay mount a comeback in those games ? How about the Cinn and Arz game when the Bears was down by more than 2 td, did Jay mount a comeback or did he choke ?

In the Arz game, Jay got only 1 td in the first drive than did nothing for 3 quarter until Arizona pull their starters in the 4th quarter and ONLY then did Jay start to move his team and score and when Arz put their starter back in, Jay threw an int and Warner march his team down the field and killed the Bears hope. Glimer of hope ? more like nightmares !

In the last 20 years, only a few people have thrown more than 25 in a season:

P. Manning’s rookie year: 28 in 1998
Favre’s 2004 meltdown: 29
Bledsoe in 1994: 27
Testaverde’s first full year: 35 in 1988 (7.5%)

Favre’s 2004 is notable – that took a team that won 10+ games the previous four years to 4-12, even as their defense improved! Admittedly they lost Javon Walker and Ahman Green for most of the year, but still, 29 picks?

how about Paton Manning’s INTs in his first four years to Cutlers… He had twice as many!

BTW He’s pretty good, huh?

I’d spray Windex on my Tapioca pudding and throw a Molotov cocktail inside my bedsheets at night.

who is Cutler anyway??? It’s like he cut you off on the way home and now you got some road rage!!!! Let it go… you got bigger fish to fry!!!
