2009-10 Bears Season: Utler, 'Uther 'Uckers

[Internet Apex]

Do fans in other cities have to deal with this kind of shit as often as we do? I guess in Cincinnati they do. This was their Super Bowl. Hip hooray and fuck them.

Pitchers and catchers report in five months so we've got that going for us.

Child, please.

No gutless asshole thread after that one?  This place has really gone downhill.

All I know is Angelo is a idiot for trading Orton and waiving Tank Johnson and Cedric Benson. 

Did you see the facial hair on benson it was almost stubble!

Gutless assholes threads are overreactions to minor hiccups in a marathon of a season.

That game yesterday, on the other hand... I think maybe we'd all just as soon not talk about that for now.

Imagine if Jake Utler was a morgan?  I can't, but could you? 
We need T.O.

From the comments:  Classic.

"1. Look at his contract. Perhaps the Bears are trying to keep him from reaching certain levels by holding him out from time to time. I have no idea what his contract looks like, I'm just sayin."

[Kermit, B.]

The mouthbreathers who were pissed about Cutler not smiling are now furious that Harris and Vasher were smiling yesterday.  What this team needs is either more or less EMOTION.

Christ. Cut him this offseason. Cut Vasher too, cut Pace while they're at it. Free up all the cap space you can, then just go Dan Snyder on everything and sign every overrated free agent you can find. Just burn this fucking thing down. Anything else I can grossly overreact to?

I just have no idea what's going on with Tommie. Jerry says he's healthy, then Lovie says he's not. Then Tommie says he is. There must've been extra tard juice in the water cooler at Halas Hall this week.

As for the next entry on Biggs' blog, I found two comments that actually make some sense.

An Unemotional take on the Bears game:

1) Offense:

a) It would appear 99% of the problem is based on the offensive line.
They can't run or pass block. You could put any RB out there and he couldn't get more than 2.5 yards per carry (except for maybe Barry Sanders-because he was never used to having an OL).
The pass blocking is of course atrocious as well. Anyone wonder why Cutler is only taking 3 step drops? Because the the OL can't protect him for 5 and 7 step drops. Hence we have no deep passing game.
b) thoughts on Jay Cutler: He is probably as good or better than expected. We would probably 2 more losses (SEA, PIT) without him (although Orton probably would have won the GB game). If you blame those interceptions yesterday on him you weren't really watching the game. When you get hit every time you drop back then even Peyton Manning is going to throw picks. If Cutler were more immature he would be calling out the OL publicly but of course that doesn't help.
c) I predict Josh Beekman will replace Frank Omiyale this week. I doubt we will see other changes.


2) Defense:

a) the secondary is actually a little better than what I thought it would be. We could win with the secondary as it is if there was a consistent pass rush.

b) Adewale Oglunleye and Alex Brown just aren't very good pass rushers. Of course they could look really really good if there was penetration from the 3 technique DT which would prevent the opposing QB from stepping up in the pocket-(something that makes average DE's look like probowlers).

Omiyale and Pace may be the worst left side in my lifetime as a Bear fan. It might even be worse than when Stan Thomas was at left tackle. Qasim Mitchell, Mike Gandy, John St. Clair....this is no better. The only way Pace can block anybody is when they try to bull rush him, as he can get into them and lean on them until they collapse. Omiyale can't even get out of his stance to make a block. He seems to think he can extend with a hand punch, and that is enough to stop his opponent. Shaffer at RT, Beekman at LG, and a move to LT for Williams is the right call to make coming up on Cleveland. That is pretty well a non-contact scrimmage for us, so it should be a good chance to find out if we can actually protect Cutler for more than 2 seconds.

I've got no problem with that guy's proposed offensive line alignment. It can't be any worse than what's out there right now, and they may as well give Williams his shot at the left tackle position anyway. It's what they drafted him to be, and other than a few penalties he's actually looked alright. Pace and Omiyale just suck, and there's no excuse that can really be made for them at this point.
