He didn't crumble, that's about it. Any success he had was because Green Bay had not game planned him at all. He's in the same vein as Curtis Painter and Matt Flynn. He's Ronnie Price as your starting PG.

And what makes me sure they're done? They're in the same division as the Packers and Lions, and would finish below at least 3 of those teams (Packers, Niners, Saints are a lock pending a total disaster) with Cutler in good shape. Atlanta, Dallas, and the Giants are nipping at their heels and getting better, while Detroit is healthy, explosive, and should generally be trending upward while they have the same record and have split the series.

It's a tight race. Trying out a terrible QB is throwing a game away that probably means the playoffs. If Hanie sucks, Orton will still need time to adjust (even though Orton is simply the better player).

$3 million is chump change and far less than what they stand to lose if they lose two in a row with Hanie.

The Giants are getting better? They've lost two in a row and play at New Orleans, Green Bay, the Cowboys twice, the Jets, and the Redskins the rest of the way. Try again.
 
Josh McCown. Well, at least he knows the offense. I'm not planning on seeing him anyway because I really believe Hanie can at least get us 3 wins over the last 6. Just get us into the playoffs then Cutler will be back. That's the best case scenario for Bears fans right now.

Let's reiterate, the Bears are DONE if they don't make a play for a real QB right now. Orton is the closest thing, and it's not even close.

How did the Bears get to the Super Bowl back in 2006? We had a crap quarterback then and relied on a running game, solid defense, and elite special teams. That's how the Bears win. Not with stellar quarterback play. Jay Cutler over the past few games has been playing great. Probably the best of his career, BUT, that's not how the Bears win games. It was a luxury to have Cutler performing the way he was.

I take it you don't watch many Bears games if you think this team will just crumble without Cutler. We can easily go 3-3 over the last 6 games and get into the playoffs.
 
I never said Orton was stellar, but no team in the league can get away with a guy that can't throw as the starter. Orton fits the bill a lot more than Hanie does.

Whenever I watch the Bears, they look crappy to me. I think I might be ready to place my first sports bet here.

-With Hanie starting, they won't win 3 more games.
-With Hanie starting, they won't make the playoffs.
 
Suh gets ejected in a close game, will most likely serve at least a 1 game suspension. The collapse of the Detroit Lions starts now.
 
Well 49ers lost their 2nd game of the season. Hard to feel too bad about this loss though. The Ravens are a very good team, possibly the best in the AFC. The deck was pretty stacked against the 49ers. Had to travel to the East coast on a short week. Would love to see these teams meet in a Superbowl. Congrats to John on winning this HarBowl. Looks like the 49ers are headed for a 2 seed. Not much chance of the Packers losing 3 games to give up the 1 seed. Pretty confident the 49ers can win out to finish 14-2. Looking forward to the playoffs.
 
Losing by 10 at Baltimore after being bitch slapped by their D line all night? I'm disappointed, but that could have been much worse.
