The only way the Packers can lose this game now is if they beat themselves with stupid turnovers and continuing to kick to Hester.

As for Cutler, this is pretty weak. If he can stand there on the sidelines, he needs to be out there. He is gonna be labeled soft for the rest of his career, and that is a label that is very difficult to shake off.

Anyone bet the under? $$$$$

Yes, thanks to Studs.

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.

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.

Maybe they should just buy him some of these instead:http://www.neuticles.com/index.php

Will that make him care?

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?

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.

kind of like how Lovie Smith looks every week?

 

[smackdaddies]

thats 2 fumbles by Williams on Punt returns. STOP TRYING TO HARD

 

[flapgreen]

Cutler just gives the hell up. I don't ever remember something like that happening in a playoff game. Sitting on the sidelines like "oh well." Unreal

 

[Neovivo]

todd collins has been in the NFL since 1995. WOW! He has thrown 22 TDs in 15 seasons. Gotta give it up to guy who can hang around that long.

I can't argue with this. I wish I knew if he was truly aloof and disinterested or if he just looks that way. I think he's a solid QB, but yeah, if he doesn't have any fire, then he's never going to be better than a slightly above average QB.ETA - I can't imagine though that he doesn't want to be in the game. It's only a two score game. It has to be the coaches or doctors holding him out.

 

[smackdaddies]

Packers are refusing to win this game

 

[gigantor]

Urlacher having one of his best games ever

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Pretty sure that a 1 point lead is insurmountable at this point for the Bears.

Agreed on Lovie Smtih. This guy never seems to show much interest on the sideline as a coach. He just stands there with the same dumb look on his face game after game. Show some emotion Lovie!!!

 

[Hawks64]

Huge stop by the Bears D. Packers need to start moving the ball if they expect to win this game.

I dont know that he doesnt.

They'll only be in trouble if they have to score...

 

[Pyramid Scheme]

HAAAAAAAANIIIIIIIE!

 

[Neovivo]

Nice tackle #58 Chicago on Hester.

 

[Balco]

Wow, there were about 27 clips by the Bears on that return.

 

[by_the_sea_wannabe]

Haine @@@!@@@

 

[Txns8]

Collins = Out!

 

[Hawks64]

Wow, Hanie coming in. Desperation move?

 

[timschochet]

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

They heard me!

 

[smackdaddies]

terrible announcing. They are saying Rodgers is yelling at his players - no, he is yelling at the refs for the late hit on him

 

[lod01]

Musical QBs. Yep, that will work.

 

[gigantor]

Bears won't do anything if Todd Collins is QB. Hanie is their only shot if Cutler stays out

 

[cr8f]

Pretty sure that a 1 point lead is insurmountable at this point for the Bears.

Not if Collins gets hot for 2 minutes. Stop playing down to the Bears or you could lose this ####ing game.

Fair, but the sad thing is you don't know if he does.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

Pretty sure that a 1 point lead is insurmountable at this point for the Bears.

He's playing very well, but not being able to get a TD on that INT return when he only had Rodgers to beat is pretty bad.

 

[Clorox]

Here comes Hanie, LOL.

Cutler must be in bad shape. There's no fricken way he's not hurt severely enough to be out of the game.

 

[Balco]

This might officially signal the end of Todd Collins' NFL career.

 

[indyram96]

nice tackle by hesters teammate

 

[onlyseventeenpoints?]

Chi defense is really impressive today

 

[The Jacket]

Could the Bears possibly get away with any more blocks in the back?

 

[Sebowski]

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.

December 16th, 2007.Skins 22 Giants 10]Collins finished 8 for 25 166 yards no TDs or INTs. It was all Portis that day.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Caleb ####### Hanie

I kinda hope the Bears win now just so Hanie can be a hero.

 

[whoknew]

So this means that Cutler can't come back in right?

 

[Neovivo]

BEARS have officially given up!!! Todd Collins just traded a joint to Cutler for a Boniva.

 

[smackdaddies]

Packers must want Chicago to win. Come on, man up and get another score

 

[Hawks64]

Is the 3 and out by the Bears D the boost they need to get back in this?

 

[flapgreen]

Cutler didn't know when he hurt it.

 

[by_the_sea_wannabe]

This might officially signal the end of Todd Collins' NFL career.

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

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

I'm partial to Jay Gutless myself

:40:

Any player that can last that long as a backup with little skills deserves some respect, no doubt. Made himself alot of money holding a clipboard.

 

[onlyseventeenpoints?]

Is cutler listening to headphones?

 

[smackdaddies]

Rodgers QB rating has to be below 70 - possibly in the 60s

 

[simmonjm]

Jay Quitler = Green BeeJay Gutless = Green Hornet

Jay "SugarFreeBritches" Cutler

 

[kwille]

I am really impressed with the Chicago D today.

I hope, for his sake that his knee is blown out, torn, something....otherwise he may go down as one of the biggest frauds in NFL history. CAn you imagine FAvre, Big Ben, Rodgers and even Stafford for crying out loud come out of a game like this...NOT A CHANCE.
