Stupid question - but why not pass once out of the end zone? 3 straight runs seems insane, and a higher risk of a safety.

Either Devin Hester as a wildcat QB or Lovie Smith.

An ugly win but I'll take it.
If nothing else the defense showed they want to play for Coughlin. |

The 4th stringer is Jerry Angelo, but he quit the team because he didn't want to have to play QB behind that O-line he put together. Lovie-dovie, all of the proven losers on that coaching staff, and Angelo have to go. ASAP.
And Giants fans are going to have some hope but they are really fooling themselves as well. |

Cutler should have the entire Giants Defense charged with aggravated assault and his own offensive lineman should be put to trial for violating the Good Samaritan law.

Cutler deserves equal blame. He has to throw the ball. A few of those sacks he had guys open and was looking in their direction and decided to hang on.
In fact, some of us who were watching the game thought Cutler may have been sat down because of some internal issues. It seemed he wasn't interested in throwing the ball or running the plays being called, just proving a point to his OC about something. So blame the O-Line all day, but Cutler played like shit and underthrew Hester on a TD pass in the first quarter. |

Oh and are there any other failed head coaches we can put on the staff? Mike Tice is working out great with that offensive line and Mike Martz sure looks to have an offense that isn't 10 years behind the times.

Right now there are 24 teams with either 2 or 3 wins. I have feeling the playoff scenarios are going to be crazy this year.

Not even close to equal blame. Yes, Cutler underthrew hester and didn't see the corner playing zone on the INT. However, you can't blame Cutler for holding onto the ball too long when too long is typically 3 seconds from snap. The play Collinsworth was railing on him for holding onto the ball for 5-6 seconds was more like 4. When you're a QB and you're continually hit that much I don't care what your name is or how talented you are you aren't going to play close to your talent level. You get shell shocked, you start seeing guys that aren't there, and your thoughts on are on not getting hit rather than reading the defense. |

I see my Cards were sacked 9 times and the "future savior" Max Hall picked up 6 of them. The only TD they got was a fumble or INT return. *sigh* How many sacks did the Giants end up with?
Is it just me or are we seeing way more extreme stats this year? A number of 400 yard passing days, including two in one game, all these sacks, etc? |

I don't think this is a homer statement. In watching the Packers last year and how they started the season, I would tend to agree with this. It's like Deja Vu, but it is happening to the Bears instead of the Packers. 1 part porous line, 1 part holding it too long.

I think the accumulated pass rush is getting into Cutler's head, and he has looked extremely skittish and indecisive the last two games. He held the ball too long a few times, but when the Giants are getting that kind of pass rush with just a four man rush Cutler has a tough choice. Throw it on time into 8 man coverage, and hope your wide receiver is there on time as well, or hold onto it and see if someone comes open, which is when a few of the sacks happened. This is what I expected week 1. And then they fooled me for three weeks, before they finally got exposed. If Cutler is gone for any length of time... yeesh... They might as well punt the ball on first down and hope the defense and special teams scores for them. Either way, I know I won't be watching Collins or Hanie running the show. |

So the consensus is now that Cutler was concussed early on and the one they showed where his head hit the turf was actually his second of the game.

It was a fumble by Sproles they ran back for a TD. Hall did look better than Anderson though, if it's any consolation.

woops sorry, the point I was trying to make was that it was a defensive touchdown. The offense got shut out, making it an even more pathetic game. And hey how about those nice numbers for FB (and Coastal Carolina grad) Mike Tolbert? He's certainly been a pleasant surprise this season. |

A lot of studies show that concussions don;t always happen in one big hit, but over many hits. So Cutler may have been getting a concussion the entire time.

It's one thing if we're talking about a rookie missing those reads, but Jay Cutler is being paid like an elite QB and shouldn't miss those things. You can't throw horrible picks on your side of the field and miss wide open touchdown throws on a regular basis. Last edited by RainMaker : 10-04-2010 at 03:14 PM. |

Ah gotcha! I think because the running game just didn't (no pun intended) get off the ground, killed much of any chance for the offense to do anything and the Cardinals defense just looked confused the whole game. Well, except for that fumble return. I just don't understand how a team can leave a future hall of fame tight end wide open almost the whole game. It's as if the D coordinator for the Cardinals only looked at final scores of the past 3 Chargers games instead of looking at the actual game footage. The 2 losses the Chargers have were self induced and not really anything the other team did. Tolbert has been crazy so far this year. There's been flashes of it in the past, but, this year he is like a mini Earl Campbell with how he is running people over. Definitely a pleasant surprise.

I only saw one instance where he missed a wide-open received en route to a sack. Every other time, the replays showed not a single receiver close to being open. Should he have thrown it away? Yes. Seperate issue. But when the Giants could get that much of a pass rush sending only 4 (which was largely the case), you're not going to find anyone open. 1 second or 20 to throw, if there's no one open, it doesn't matter.

Well, having real receivers probably would help as well. Hester has made strides but you are never going to learn the nuances of route running in a few years of playing the position and even beyond Hester it's basically just a bunch of fast guys.
I despise Cutler and he could do a better job of throwing the ball away last night but it's really on the front office to put him in a situation where he's not getting killed. Poor line + no reliable receiving corps = short career for QB. |

DOLA - 3 of 5 receivers on the Bears roster are listed as KR/PR, one is 5'9 and the other is Devin Aromashadu. Worse than I thought.

I agree. In fact, I recommend using Top 10 draft picks in 3 out of 4 years on WRs. It's a great way to build a solid foundation for your team and your offense will become unstoppable. How can anyone cover 3 Top 10 wideouts???

So Bears have contacted Juice Williams.
My first thought was it would be to give him a look as a receiver. No, the Chicago bears are probably the only team at the college or pro level that thinks Juice Williams can play QB at any level. |

There's no doubt that the pass protection scheme is problematic unless you have Dan Marino back there. Still, Cutler causes some of his own problems. They showed a replay of one of the fumbles and how a guy was running wide open underneath and Cutler basically ignored him trying to find someone downfield until the ball got stripped. On another play, the CB blitz came and Cutler wasn't aware enough to throw it right to where the CB blitzed from, where there was of course a wide open receiver.

Imagine if you then hired a gifted megalomaniac offensive wizard to run schemes for them! That team would score faster than a straight kickoff return.
