Where's Tumbana?

[NightTrainLayne]

Will Tumbana return here before Cutler throw's his first Touchdown as a Bear?

Tonight, Cutler was 5/10 with one INT, as well as another ball that was right in the chest of a Bills defender, and ANOTHER ball in the end-zone forced into double coverage and tipped by a line-backer 10 yards upfield. Then he got pulled.

Does the Bears troll have the cajones to show up after such a "dazzling" performance?

[Northman]

Im going to go out on a limb and say no. lmao

[MasterShake]

Silly NTL, don't you know Tumbana did not see the interception because his retinas were burned by the holy light of a Jay Cutler pass whizzing by at warp speed on his first throw? Don't you remember the first time the almighty Cutler unsheathed his canon arm and melted the faces of the Bronco nation? I wish I could say I remember what it felt like to bask in that glow, but alas you can only look God in the eye once before you must avert you gaze lest have your eyeballs melt.

Either that or he did see the INT and the two other horrible passes and is curled up in the fetal position listening to the "Superbowl Shuffle" on an endless loop while clutching a picture of Mike Ditka.

No, he had 1 and 1 possible in one quarter. And even with the 3 picks Orton still had a better rating. Im not so sure i would be pumping my chest about being worse than Kyle Orton. :lol:

Not a great game for Cutler-But the throw to Hester in the end zone was not double coverage. Hester was open. It was a great play by the Bills LB to tip it.

Turner's POS offense is anything BUT a new system. It's build around last century's Dallas Cowboy incarnation of the 1962 Sid Gillman/Don Coryell deep vertical game.

Cutler going from a Shanahan offense to a Turner offense must be like going from a 2008 Porsche to a 1973 Vega.

couldnt find it on NFL.com or the Bears official website, but Ill keep looking.

Its a typical Cutler interview... quietly putting the blame on others as well as downplaying his performance.....he said something like "We really didnt put much into this game going in just calling some base stuff and seeing what happens out there"

he also made sure to mention that Forte and Olsen were out with injuries.

[Overtime]

here it is.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-16-haugh-jay-cutler-bears-aug16,0,191068.column


ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Unwelcome but necessary, a late arrival to the Jay Cutler Bandwagon dampened the enthusiasm surrounding the debut of the Bears (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/chicago-bears-ORSPT000036.topic) quarterback Saturday night at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Reality.

Turns out Jay Cutler can make mistakes. He will disappoint. He needs a transition period.

He might even raise an eyebrow as he holds his wide receivers publicly accountable for an interception he threw, as Cutler did when beginning an answer about his interception with an explanation of Devin Hester (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/devin-hester-PESPT007248.topic)'s role in it.

Asked what happened on the underthrown first-quarter pass Cutler heaved off his back foot that cornerback Leodis McKelvin intercepted, the Bears quarterback introduced Hester into the equation.

"Devin is more of a go-get-it guy," Cutler said. "He's not really a back-shoulder, jump-up-and-get-it [guy] and ... you learn from it. You make some mistakes. It's a preseason game."

Hester acknowledged he could have made a better play on the ball once he realized Cutler's pump fake didn't fool McKelvin. Regardless, he still beat McKelvin by a step to get open.

"From watching the tape, [McKelvin] didn't bite on it so it was pretty tough to try to catch up to," Hester said. "I probably could have tried to make a play on the ball, as far as knocking it out of his hands. It wasn't nobody's fault."

The difference in interpretation can be attributed to Hester and Cutler still developing a rapport that has a ways to go. Offensive coordinator Ron Turner diplomatically pointed out Hester should have been more aggressive breaking up a pass that admittedly wasn't a good throw from Cutler.

The last thing an offense needs is to bring blame into the huddle.

"On balls like that, the receiver has to go up and break it up if they can," Turner said. "Devin did [adjust and Cutler] still thought Devin had a chance to get by him."

Wherever Cutler put the football against the Bills (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/buffalo-bills-ORSPT000034.topic), where he placed responsibility for his interception might have been the most telling thing about his first game as a Bear.

The rest of it -- 5 of 10 for 64 yards and that interception in 14 plays -- should be of little concern. If Cutler plays this poorly next month, the civic reaction should be "uh-oh." But now a collective "oh, well," works just fine.

"There's no reason for anybody to start to panic," Cutler said.

Agreed. That is why the NFL (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/nfl-ORSPT000007.topic) plays four exhibition games. This was a televised scrimmage, a way to break up the monotony of training camp as well as charge fans regular-season admission prices to watch glorified practices.

It really means nothing in terms of projecting Cutler's season. The last three NFL regular seasons represent a truer gauge than one quarter in the preseason. Cutler's past still inspires high hopes if his present needs some work.

Cutler's performance Saturday may bring out the I-told-you-so crowd and jam sports-talk radio lines with talk of whether No. 6 will be the latest Bears quarterback to break Chicago's heart, but it would be silly to overreact.

Remember how crisp Rex Grossman (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/rex-grossman-PESPT006897.topic) looked two years ago in the 2007 exhibition opener at Houston? How much of an indicator was that?

Mild injuries forced Cutler to play without tight end Greg Olsen (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/greg-olsen-PESPT008269.topic), his favorite target, and running back Matt Forte, the team's best threat. The basic game plan from Turner: Stay healthy.

That will sound like an excuse to Cutler critics, but rest assured the same perspective would be doled out if Cutler had completed 8 of 10 for two touchdowns.

Positives? There were two: Cutler hit Desmond Clark (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/desmond-clark-PESPT001299.topic) in stride for a 30-yard reception and took a deep drop, set his feet and fired a strike to Hester for a 20-yard gain. The focus will be on the other 12 plays when the Bears break down the videotape, as it should be.

"Over the next couple of weeks we'll really start game-planning and go deeper into games," Cutler said. "That's when we'll get a much better feel for where we're headed and what we've got."

What the Bears coaching staff has now is a more captive audience, and that's not such a bad thing.

[OaklandRaider]

Hey, we may be in trouble with our QB play this year. At least we didn't give up our draft for it. :cool:

No, instead you gave up your draft for a short ass kick returner/nickel CB.

[MOtorboat]

No, instead you gave up your draft for a short ass kick returner/nickel CB.

Not as bad as taking the fourth-best receiver at No. 8, signing him for so much money that you can't sign your fifth-round defensive end, and then topping that by drafting a safety that wasn't even on most team's boards and wasn't even listed on nfl.com, cbssports.com or espn.com's draft boards, which included almost 1,000 player each.

But nice try at the draft smack.

Fail.

And Life Fail.

[Gamechanger]

Well hey, at least our offensive line didnt give up 3 sacks in like 4 snaps or whatever :hi:

your right, i'd rather have three sacks than three picks though

but at least our new workhouse still has 2 good knees

also, FWIW it was a makeshift line, whats Orton's excuse? :wave:

First off, we cut the 6th round D-end before we signed DHB. So you fail there. And DHB would've been the second receiver taken in the draft if the Raiders hadn't taken him at 7. The Giants, Eagles and Ravens were all prepared to trade up into the teens to take him. I didn't like the pick, still dont but he probably has more potential than any offensive player in the draft.

And Michael Mitchell would've been taken with the 49th pick by the Chicago Bears if the Raiders had'nt taken him. Mike Mayock even apologized for bashing the pick - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqIGDX_oK_c

Denver's draft was awful. Drafting a runningback with your first pick when you already signed like 5 already in free agency. Trading a top 5 pick for a nickelback/punt returner, who you passed on twice already. Only drafting ONE front 7 defensive player out of ten selections. Drafting a TE with only 12 career catches in the second round, especially when you already had Daniel Graham and Tony Sheffler on your roster.

[MOtorboat]

First off, we cut the 6th round D-end before we signed DHB. So you fail there.

Money issue still stands, but nice try. Probably realized they couldn't afford to pay every one because Davis was offering way too much to Heyward-Bey. But, again, I don't expect an idiot like you to realize that.

It's not a money issue, dum dum. Do you really think the Raiders cut Sulak because they couldn't afford to pay DHB and him? :pound: Wow.

You do realize that there is a rookie cap in place, right? if the Raiders wanted to sign Sulak, he would've been signed. He wasn't a fit apparently, and he has already signed with GB. You're confused as hell if you think the Raiders cut Sulak because they couldn't afford to pay DHB :lol:

What a maroon!

But I don’t expect that to happen. I expect the Giants to take a receiver. And I don’t necessarily expect them to take him at 29. I do think the Giants are most likely going to try to trade up in the first round, but I just don’t know if they’re going to be able to get high enough for the guy they so desperately want.

And that guy is Maryland WR Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Yes, as it turns out, the guy I was shocked to see waiting for me at 29 in two media mock drafts is the Giants’ No. 1 target this year, from what I’ve been told. And, like me, they’re pretty sure they can’t get him at 29. That’s why, as I told you this morning in the Daily News, the Giants are trying to get themselves into at least the Top 20 in the hopes they can make him their pick..

I’ve heard the Baltimore Ravens are actively trying to get ahead of the Eagles, Vikings and Dolphins so they can get first crack at a receiver. The Browns like Heyward-Bey too, and could acquire a mid-first-round pick from someone if they trade Edwards or QB Brady Quinn. http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/giants/2009/04/and-with-the-29th-pick.html#ixzz0OOJ3oNZ3


Multiple sources say the Giants, Eagles and Ravens were all trying to trade up to get DHB. He would've been the second receiver taken behind Crabtree.


Keep dreaming and making weak rationalizations for your unfounded and laughable "scouting."

I'm not dreaming, kid. I've provided facts, and the fact is Michael Mitchell would've been the Bears' second round pick if the Raiders hadn't drafted him.


Hey, I hear Al Davis might need someone in the front office...you'll fit nicely.

Nice, calling me gay. That's solid smack right there. Especially after the pathetic attempts at justifying your stupid opinions.

I know your simplistic little mind can't comprehend paying rookies and the whole concept of money...but its quite obvious to the rest of the world that Sulak being cut was for money issues, not performance, because, um, well...he didn't even get a chance to perform.

LOL...

Its funny how he downplays everything and always has that one excuse as to why he didn't play well.

He said in so many words that he should not have thrown a jump ball to Hester. Obvious yes, where was the excuse?

After the trade, every little thing each player does in practice, and off the field, is analyzed and analyzed again. Par for the course in a high profile trade I suppose. Im sure both QBs will iron out the wrinkles.

I think people are shocked, and dismayed a bit on either side. I liken it to the first time your GF/Wife farts in front of you. You still love em, but it puts stuff in perspective.

I doubt it. They both have Chicago ties. Orton's problem is he was "developed" by the worst QB progressing organization in the NFL, and it looks like the affect is already starting to wear on Cutler.

Poor Cutler. It's like an amazingly beautiful women trapped in a room full of blind idiots. It's only a matter of time before that godforsakenly QB unfriendly organization ruins his career too.

[ursamajor]

...Orton's problem is he was "developed" by the worst QB progressing organization in the NFL

I disagree. You could have said the same thing about the Packers (Pre Favre), Saints (Pre Brees), Vikings (Pre Green, Post Green), Jets(Post Namath) The list goes on and on.

Keep working on that theory though, don't let my criticism detour you.

[sneakers]

I wish the Bears were still in Platteville. It was only 45 minute drive away, and my aunt and uncle lived 1/4 mile from the practice field.

[LRtagger]

If 2 steps and running away from the db across the back of the end zone isn't open, then I don't know what is

Right so you have a CB 1 step behind him, and safety one step ahead of him, and a LB in the passing lane.

Wide Open.

Unfortunately, not...

Basically, they were on the five, McKelvin had bump and run on Hester on a slant, the safety read the play and was moving over to make the play, Cutler forced the pass and the linebacker batted it, because the linebacker was standing right in front of Hester.

[LRtagger]

They just showed the play again on ESPN
