player ready...You were wrong, so was I, I forgive you.
We both fell for it. That mound of crap referring to Jay Christopher Cutler.
This should all sound familiar:
1) He’s 31 years old now. Very mature.
2) He’s married and is a father now. So much more mature.
3) He’s in his second year in Marc Trestman’s offense. He’s grown and is very mature.
4) He’s got all the weapons and good protection and good coaching. This is the year.
Blah, blah, and of course blah. We’re back to this now. We’re back to him making an awful throw across his body a rookie out of Alcorn State would try to make. That’s maturity. That’s growth.
Come on, people. Oh, I hear the screams. Oh, the defense couldn’t do this, couldn’t do that, they looked awful.
Yes, they did. But we’re paying our quarterback $20 million this year to overcome that. So if the defense gives up 23 points to the Buffalo Bills (Yikes. That happened!) then what the contract is calling for is for the offense to roll up 34 points and get a win. Unfair maybe, but that’s what big money is. It says you’re elite and you overcome bad days like this. We paid for elite, we got Rex Grossman. Again.
As for Trestman, we have a Lovie Smith in reverse. REPEAT: Lovie Smith in reverse. It just dawned on me after this loss. He’s from the CFL. That means he uses the pass … TO SET UP THE PASS!
We’re in trouble. I wonder if CFL coaches know what a running back is. They can do more than catch in this country. His name is Matt Forte. Run him, please!
It won’t matter. We’re 0-2 after this week. San Francisco, my favorite place. We don’t just lose there, we get humiliated. Scores like 52-14, 32-7, 49-7, 44-15 (playoffs, 1995!), 26-0, 41-0.
Yeah, I’m sure a new stadium will make things different. Sigh.
I wish I could offer relief. Locally, we have the Big Ten. I’m sorry, yes, it’s that bad! Starting with Northwestern. Their lack of toughness is embarrassing, Pat Fitzgerald says.
It’s a local problem, I’m afraid.
