Jay Cutler News

Even if Rex Grossman's dad is wrong, does that make the Bears right? Whether or not the Bears failed Rex Grossman or Rex Grossman failed the Bears, the point is still the same: the Bears haven't had a "franchise" quarterback since Sid Luckman.

Stop me if you've heard this one before: The Bears need to essentially "run the table" in the final seven games to make the playoffs.

LAKE FOREST – Bears receiver Devin Aromashodu waited almost two years for this.

There's the 9 interceptions in the red zone the last two years, more than twice as many as any other NFL QB.

Devin Hester could have blamed last Thursday's mental lapses on the hours he spent at his fiancee's side, waiting for their son to be born.

Posted by Anthony Stalter With their 10-6 loss to the 49ers in San Francisco on Thursday night, the Bears may have sealed their fate this season.

Although Donovan McNabb still hears talk about the possibility of finishing his career back home, the Eagles quarterback is fine letting Jay Cutler handle all the scrutiny in Chicago for now.

In a sign of how difficult things have become in the Bears' world, the beleaguered team stunned a network giant Wednesday by rejecting NBC's request for prime-time access to coach Lovie Smith, quarterback Jay Cutler and general manager Jerry Angelo.

Leave the power running game on the bus and hand the ball to Jay Cutler. That's the best solution for the Bears with seven games remaining in a fast-fading season.

CHICAGO a * Jay Cutler has thrown a league-leading 17 interceptions, and after he threw five against the 49ers, Coach Lovie Smith even said that type of performance could shake the quarterback's confidence.

CHICAGO - Balance is admirable, both in offenses and arguments. So allow me to try to add some of it to the interesting case Rex Grossman's father laid out.

Offensive line coach Harry Hiestand made it clear when Josh Beekman was inserted into the starting lineup at left guard at the start of the month that the Bears were not writing off the man he replaced, Frank Omiyale.

The right time to evaluate the Jay Cutler - Kyle Orton trade is not now, but a couple of years from now.

With four losses in five games and a 4-5 record, defensive tackle Tommie Harris realizes the Chicago Bears' hopes are fading fast.

The Bears talked a lot about finding out what kind of team they are in November, when the NFL season takes a turn toward the serious, and what they've discovered is pretty grisly.

The father of former Chicago Bears starting quarterback Rex Grossman says the struggles of the team's current signal-caller redeems his son.

Better yet, it was an old fashion butt kicking. The Arizona Cardinals kicked the Bears all over their home field beating the so-called Monsters of the Midway 41-21, dropping them to 4-4 on the season.

So it has come to this: We're in mid-November, and the Bears are talking about running the table.

So the Bears finally get an inspired, angry, aggressive, defensive effort, only to see Rex Gross... er... Jay Cutler have another multiple interception game.

I really enjoyed my Bears-less Sunday. How about you? There was no anxiety, no swearing, no facepalming .
