Let me just say that today was my grandfather's wake, and my father was more depressed about the awful state of the bears during the game than he was about the fact that his father had passed away.

Chicago fans are in for a rough couple of years.

Well your grandfather's wake was only the one day, the Bears are like having a funeral every Sunday for four months straight.

If the Bears have a tight end on the field he will set a career high in receiving yards.

The Bears do have a tight end on the field. The Bears strategy is to not let Pickles do anything, however. This raises the question of why they extended him when they know he's not capable.

Because it's the NFL, where fielding a garbage player whom everyone knows is garbage is still considered a safer move than signing an unknown.

Forte doesnt throw though. Bears with Pickles run twice with Forte then have Clausen limp dick a throw to a WR that lands nowhere near them then punt the ball. No TE involved in their game at all.

Probably because they thought Clausen was so bad that no one on Chicago Sports Radio would ever demand that the Bears bench Cutler for him.

But they didn't know the true pain of Chicago Sports Radio.

Do the Bears have any decent defensive backs they can trade to the Patriots for peanuts for no good reason? That seems like the next logical step to the "gently caress it we give up" plan.

Nope you are wrong. Cutler was playing on a torn acl for a large portion of that game. Didn't get pulled til after the first Drive in the third, then todd collins came in and sucked it up, then Caleb threw a pick 6 to a effing nose tackle.

Cutler was 6/14 for piss in that game, then Hanie came in and the offense showed some life. I thought Cutler was healthy until he got hurt in that one.

Nah, he was hobbling around the entire game. Hanie showed life when the Green Bay D was in a prevent to start the 4th, then threw a pick to Raji when they actually decided to play D again.

Although both of them looked like Aaron Rodgers compared to Todd Collins, who couldn't even complete a pass.

Wasn't that because Cutler got injured in the first half and didn't come back in and Hanie came in against a Packers defense playing incredibly soft

Bortles was the worst QB in the NFL last year and this year, statistically, is like the 5th worst. Cutler isn't all pro but he's definitely average to at his best above average.

He was a rookie this year, and if his passer rating held for this year, while not stellar, it's within about 10 of the best season Cutler has ever had. It's a dropoff, but it's not as big a dropoff as you're making it out to be. Your analogy would've been appropriate for say Aaron Rodgers to Bortles.

Or, possibly, Cutler to Pickles, who is way worse than Bortles.
