Cutler

So as I checked in I was gonna pass on a great link, but user Jumbo beat me to it in a comment in my last post. I haven't had a chance to argue with Jumbo (or anyone else here) but I gotta say it will be hard to argue with a dude who linked up to something I was intending this original post to be about.

Anyway, here is the link:

I think this article does a much better job than I did describing what I've been describing about describing about how I am describing my frustrations about the bears, without really describing my real frustrations about them.

Let's hope that there is some kid named Rocky Wirtz around somewhere in the mccaskey (I will not honor this family with its Irish name until they honor us)  family, and let's hope Virginia is not like that Bitch on Heroes if and when if finally shows up. ...... AHHH then, the world says fuck you virginia m(oh dear TMZ has found us).

It's good to live in Texas, sometimes. Because here, they know good football, and even if the Bears game had been the primary Fox game, here in Texas, they would have found a way to black them out.

I didn't see the game. I have no idea why the Lord above saved me from it, but He did. That's Texas speak, btw, and it feels just right, just right now.

What I could tell from the line score was that my earlier defense on this blog of Cutler may have possibly been premature, but that, for sure, my disgust with the Pits was right on target.

For those unfamiliar with the term "pit", it's the term football coaches use for the front line. Both sides. It's a mash pit, and, generally, whatever team wins in the mash pit, on any level of play, high school, college, or NFL, wins the game.

There was an article I saw yesterday in the Trib about how Cutler was, statistically, in better shape than almost all the other QBs in the league in terms of sacks.

I guess the article writer hasn't noticed the pressures. Do those get recorded? Oh, yes, they do. And last I saw, Cutler was number two in the league in pressures. In other words, if he doesn't pass as soon as his hands touch the ball he's in deep shit.

Cutler is not Grossman. Cutler is a QB sitting behind a paper bag offensive line. If he takes them out to dinner, I recommend a really  bad restaurant that makes them all sick for the rest of their lives.

I miss the Bay Area. The place I worked at was across from a Whole Foods and I fattened myself up every morning on their hot bar. Yum.

While I lived in the Bay Area, I grew to sort of enjoy the 49er football legend. Not that I had a choice. If you're into sports in the Bay Area, you either fall in love with Bill Walsh or get your ass kicked onto the pavement of the Bay Bridge.

Jim Hendry, I mean, of course, Jerry DeAngaHendry watched Cutler throw ridiculously insane passes across his body (remember when we all hated Rex Grossman for trying to do that?) and has decided to give the new QB god a new contract.

Of course, unlike Hendry, DeAngelo has found a true star, and it's hard to argue with his decision to wrap him up.

His next decision, though, may be a lot tougher. Because Matt Forte can't seem to get out of the backfield.

Normally, I would say Forte's troubles are on the line. I've played enough football to know that the game lives and dies on the front 4 or 5, but he's getting hammered behind the line of scrimmage, and no really good back lets that happen on a regular basis.

Once or twice, maybe, but he has no power through the 2 or 3 hole, like he did last year.

It's not that I miss the running game, and yearn for a QB that can run the game ala kyle orton.

What frustates me is that we have a great QB who can slice linebackers up while in the pocket, and now we have no running game. What the hell is with that?
