Clearly, Broncos Fans Haven’t Let That Trade Thing Go
Me: Denver Broncos fans do not appreciate Jay Cutler. You: How unappreciative are they? Me: They’re so unappreciative, their insistence on vehemently booing and stomping their feet every time Cutler took a snap in the first half caused the stadium, and thus the television cameras, to literally shake. Hey! What did he ever do to you, man?
Okay, so it really wasn’t unexpected at all, but the noise created by Broncos fans tonight was deafening. Still, it didn’t matter. Cutler, once again, looked sharp, completing 15 of 21 passes for 144 yards and one touchdown. On a side note of interest: Kyle Orton wasn’t too shabby either, but had to leave the game early after suffering what looked like a boo-boo.
The defensive front seven shone shined … um, looked really good tonight across the depth chart. Watching the play of Pisa Tinoisamoa continually makes it okay for me to think the Bears linebacking crew is one of the top five in the NFL.
The secondary, on the other hand, is kind of God-awful … That’s all.
The one thing that makes me most nervous/watchful is that there’s one more preseason game left and some tough decisions yet to be made at wideout. Between Brandon Rideau, Devin Aromashodu, and Johnny Knox, one–maybe two–receivers will make the team. So, please: throw them the fucking ball more than once per game so we may better see what they can do.
I’m not as angry as that sounded. But I do know that either one of those receivers could possibly make this team’s offense that much better. We’ve seen flashes thus far, but we haven’t seen enough throws in any of their respective directions to make that healthy and informed judgment. Yeah, because we decide who makes the team.
I get that Cutler needs time to build rapport with Hester, Earl Bennett, Greg Olsen, etc., but considering the Bears have been nearly as historically inept at wide receiver as they had been at quarterback, it’s hard not to feel compulsive–and overenthusiastic, sure–about getting it right.

Is it possible that the NFC North has the best starting quarterback group in the NFL? If so, how weird is that?
I thought Cutler looked fine, I thought the Bears O-line looked pretty bad. Hey Chris Williams, I don’t care if you’re not used to LB’s blitzing from the 3-4, please put a helmet on someone. On some of those plays, it looked like you were a fan spectating the game from the most expensive seats in the stadium.
I thought the Bear’s secondary looked even worse. Was it just me, or did it look like the Bear’s DB’s were playing Twister and at the last second trying to jump, twist around and make a diving tackle? Hey Trumaine McBride, please stop reassuring me that I could cover/tackle a guy as well as you did after a few brews. It was honestly like the Bears had tried out a freshman division three corner at the position. I mean if that is professional, whats amateur?
