Lowered expectations?

What is the OL suppose to say about their QB? ... no that guy we're blocking for sucks?

I wouldn't say real good, but you can't fault him too hard for that INT. Great call by Capers, excellent catch by Matthews.

His completion percentage wasn't great but for a moment there, it looked like a different Jay throwing the ball and managing the offense to me.

The Bears problem is that they tried putting the game on Cutler's shoulders and that's when he folds. They were on the 2 yard line and instead of giving the ball to Forte who had been running all over us, they try to let Jay throw a touchdown.

That interception was a great read by Matthews.

He extended plays really well with his legs, aside from the Matthews pick, there weren't a lot of other total dud throws he made. I thought he was respectable.

True, he was borderline respectable. Compared to the way he usually plays, yeah, he did do a "real good job".

It's like they're talking to the depressed kid in little league who struck out with 2 down in the 9th and the tying run on third. LOL

Texas, you really need to get a different picture for an avatar. I have Raji jerseys for sale, real cheap.

My brother had the ultimate jersey jinx.

Iirc, Terdell Middleton, John Jefferson, Paul Coffman. Those are the main three I remember.

It got so bad I gave him my Lofton jersey thinking they'd NEVER cut him. 😢

The Bears are going to need to ride Jay at least another season or two before the cap hit will become manageable enough to where they can cut him and not torpedo their salary cap in the process. No one is going to trade anything for him given his track record and being paid Top 10 starter money.

If turning him into a game manager cuts down on his mistakes and running the offense through Forte is what they have to do to be successful, so be it. You know the guy is capable of making deep passes although his accuracy and decision making leave a lot to be desired. You saw what happens when they fall behind and you have to start relying on him to make too many throws. Three straight passes on the two yard line down 8 in the 4th quarter was a major head scratcher for me with the success they had running the football on Sunday.
