He came out afterwards and was even less effective. What choice did he or the coaching staff have in that situation? Remove any hope of making the SB by riding the ineffective, and now injured, starter straight into the brick wall?!? It wasn't like Cutler left with a 28 point lead, jogged around the sidelines and watched his backups piss it all away. The only time the Bears offense didn't look like shit the entire game was when they let the 3rd stringer run the no-huddle. The loss had nothing to do with Cutler's toughness... percieved, actual or otherwise.<br /><br />Of course, as BGF stated, Cutler is hard to root for... which makes him an easy scapegoat for the kneejerk morons.Nunyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13673217782067938229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-79624744760418389142011-01-23T20:01:16.110-05:002011-01-23T20:01:16.110-05:00Cutler is tough to root for, but I wonder if he wa...Cutler is tough to root for, but I wonder if he was injured badly or not. I think he probably was, but it was weird to have him be "questionable" to return and he didn't return. I just think unless it is an ACL then he probably should have been out there. <br /><br />Of course what do I know. <br /><br />I would like the Jets to make this a decent game.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-59808670720472324642011-01-23T19:41:11.668-05:002011-01-23T19:41:11.668-05:00If Ben doesn't put so much air under the ball ...If Ben doesn't put so much air under the ball its a TD.
