Anyone bet the under? $$$$$

so far....

Screw you Cutler. Way to nut up and stand up for your team. Biggest game in franchise history and you can't even limp out on the field and give it everything you have to try and win it. Most qbs would hope out on one leg and an injured throwing arm and shot put the ball across the field. Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. Someone tie this guy to the bench and put a over his head.

Maybe a little overstated?

 

[Balco]

Not a Cutler hate at all, actually like the guy, but this is the biggest gutless/##### performance I have ever seen in sports, and Ive been watching for 25 yrs. If he doesnt need to be carted off, he should be out there. Todd Collins should not be in the league

If he doesn't need surgery on his knee, then I completely agree. A one legged Cutler is better than Todd Collins. Pretty pathetic.

Bears fans longing to have Sexy Rexy back.

I don't think this is accurate.I will say it was the biggest game of his career and he is giving an indication of what type of player he is (soft, for those of you scoring at home), but this franchise has had bigger games than this and will have bigger games than this in the future.

AR's tackle was Roethlesbergeresque

Even fixed that word looks like a Scrabble board threw up.

Sorry. Gameday spelling on my part but you knew what I mean.

 

[bakes]

Defensive play + QB other than Cutler coming in = win.

You've seen Collins play before, right?

I remember him beating the Giants in the wind at the Meadowlands on a Sunday night when he was with the Redskins and the Skins had to win to make the playoffs.

Wasn't that game during the Coolidge administration?ETA: Had to be. It's been that long since the Skins were on the field in January.

didn't realize we had so many Doctors posting today

 

[J-Dawg]

who is 3rd string?

Caleb Hanie, right?

He was deactivated for this game though wasn't he?

 

[Neovivo]

Cutler man you will always be known in Chicago as the guy who quit! At least go out and make Lovie force you from playing. Seriously, man up and get out there for your team and city.

 

[Dr. Gobbler]

What is wrong with Culter? The Bloody elbow?

knee

Heart and lack thereof...

I thought I read before the game he was listed as 3rd.

He's from Indiana, Chicago isn't his team and his city, this is just where his employer is located.

The Bears' inactives are wide receiver Devin Aromashodu, safety Craig Steltz, cornerback Joshua Moore, running back Kahlil Bell, guard Herman Johnson, guard-center Edwin Williams and defensive tackle Marcus Harrison. Caleb Hanie is Chicago's third quarterback.

 

[mrdawg23]

With Cutler out, the only hope the Bears have now is if Rodgers throws a couple more bonehead interceptions.

 

[Mr. Retukes]

What is wrong with Culter? The Bloody elbow?

He was shot by Barbara Hershey. Doc said that if he ever played again he could die.

 

[Balco]

Hanie was sitting next to an aloof Jay Cutler on the bench. He has a 1970's mustache, right?

He isn't a Bear? Doesn't he play for the Bears? Or, are you saying he hasn't bought into being a Chicago Bear?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

No one will ever rip on a guy when they make half of a great play, but in a game where the offense is struggling to do absolutely anything and their starting QB is out hurt, a franchise hall of fame bound linebacker getting taken down by an arm tackle by a QB is pretty horrible. Urlacher should have scored on that INT return if the Bears were going to have any shot.

 

[bulger2holt]

watching Rodgers is giving me a glimpse of Bradford in the coming years. Big fan of Rodgers

 

[Pyramid Scheme]

I'd love to hear what Aikman is saying about Cutler off camera.

 

[J-Dawg]

My bad, I thought I saw him among the inactives somewhere.

 

[bakes]

Jay Quitler.

Just wanted to be the first one in the pool on that one. Carry on.

 

[Dr. Gobbler]

If I owned the Bears org. I would be beating Cutler in the head with a helmet right now.

 

[kwille]

Bear's D still trying to win it.

IIRC, it was actually only January 2008. The last game of Gibbs II.

 

[timschochet]

Caleb Hanie anyone?

 

[gigantor]

yea the D is playing great today considering how long they are on the field. great job fellas

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

This is boring. They're boring me. I'm bored now.

 

[Balco]

That Rodgers INT was huge. Can't emphasize enough what a boneheaded play that was. Take the sack. 3 points makes it a 3 point game. The Bears are still very much in it.

 

[faulkfan]

If I owned the Bears org. I would be beating Cutler in the head with a helmet right now.

I wouldn't, I'd want him to be able to pass his physical to complete the trade I would be trying to make right now.

 

[lod01]

Jay Quitler.Just wanted to be the first one in the pool on that one. Carry on.

Not bad. It could stick.

 

[Clorox]

Why are we assuming it is Cutler's call to be out of the game? The Bears are dead without him, can't believe all the hate.

And how in the blue hell is this only a 14-0 GB lead?

 

[Clorox]

This is boring. They're boring me. I'm bored now.

 

[Neovivo]

at the people who paid 7k for tickets for this game!!!

 

[Pyramid Scheme]

Yeah, looks like I'll have plenty of time to walk the dog before the late game starts.

 

[fred_1_15301]

[gigantor]

or any game for that matter.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

Knox did good there preventing that INT.

 

[Pyramid Scheme]

WTF is Williams thinking there?

 

[smackdaddies]

wow that was a dumb play by Travon W.

 

[flapgreen]

Todd Collins

 

[Go deep]

I wouldn't, I'd want him to be able to pass his physical to complete the trade I would be trying to make right now.

So trade away the only good offensive player they have(except maybe Forte)? Maybe the Bears should try to get him an Oline and a couple WR's instead.

 

[timschochet]

I'm serious about Caleb Hanie. Todd Collins is simply terrible. What have you got to lose?

 

[Txns8]

Wanna do this one again?

What's with the Hollywood movie background music?

I think much of the resentment stems from his seeming disinterest in the game. Even Vince "mental problems" Young got mad when he was pulled from a meaningless game in a lost season. As a fan you want to see your team leader (and I will use that term very loosely here) to yell at his coach and beg to come back in to try and get the win. You do not want him wandering on the sideline looking bored. Whether it is accurate or not, he doesn't seem to have a competitive fire unless you try to trade for another QB in which case he gets all kinds of excited.

3 score game? That sounds better,
