DO...The Chicago Bears have the pieces to be Super Bowl winner?

[Pugger]

I don't know. Packers could use an upset win but Bears really suck this season...and they'll suck even more with Clausen. Ergo, easy Lions win. In fact, in the long run, it sucks that Bears are realizing that Cutlers is not a winner and in reality a douchebag.

I doubt Clausen can be any worse than Cutler has been this season.

Ditto. Don't forget, if this is trap game week for the Packers, it's more so for the Lions. They killed the Bears in Detroit so they may be looking beyond the Bears.

Let's hope the Bears' players feel they've got something to prove.

This move might be more to motivate the other players on the roster = "If they can bench Jay am I next?"

I think it's all about Jay Cutlers lousy play and attitude.

How that affects everything else....and possibly winning based in a solid game plan.

Jay Cutler simply isn't a TEAM PLAYER.

This goes back to last season and the decision to replace Josh McCown with a returning Jay Cutler (from injury) when Josh McCown had the Bears really rolling.

With Josh McCown behind Center you could see a positively different and confident team. The Bears offense was seriously hot.

His lousy play is indisputable, but is his attitude really that bad? The media loves to beat on him because his body english is horrible, he looks like he's pouting all the time. Add in a few internet meme's (there's a website dedicated to him that sells Smokin' Jay t-shirts!) and it's pretty easy to start believing his press.

I've never thought he was elite, and think he's been over rated from his draft position on. Someone in Denver must've had the same idea and cut bait. But I don't know that I doubt his commitment, attitude, etc.

Yep. Any doubts I had about his commitment ended the year he got in shape and got rid of his extra neck rolls.

Reading between the lines from comments made by some Bear players, and also what I've heard from some radio guys guys around here....yes it is

Hi Guiness:

Watch this presser carefully. Watch his body language and his response to the question- "Can you play for Marc Trestman next season?"

Jay Cutler: I want to stay in Chicago

I'd hope for for a quick no doubts "Absolutely !!" kind of a response....not a yes .......then a ponder..... and a yes.

Jay Cutler might hire a personality check and body language coach. He surely can spare some $$CASH$$ for such an intervention.

It's entirely possible something unexpected happens in Chicago this week-end.

The Bears have Forte, who has had a top 5 RB type of season with almost 1700 yards from scrimmage and 9 TDs. If Clausen comes in and is a game manager, Forte has a good game and the D shows up, they could be a tough opponent. Add in the Lions history of late season collapse, well, there is hope for the Bears to help the Pack out here!

Man... the Vikings sure messed up a great opportunity to help out.

I cannot imagine a scenario where Jimmy Clausen gives the Bears a better chance to win than Cutler does. Cutler is having a bad year, but he's still a top 10-12 QB. Way better than most of what the league has to put up with.

The 'Clausen is a game manager' part. Where Cutler isn't out there to do this and lose it

Hahahahaha ....


Jay Cutler... Damn it I've been trying to figure this out for the longest time and I finally get it:



He's got the head of Dr. Frankenstein's monster.

[MadScientist]

Actually, no there isn't. The games this week have no bearing on the division. The winner of the Detroit - GB game will win the NFC North. The games this week do matter for seeding and possible wild card births. But there is no way for the Bears to actually help the Packers out (excluding injury), unless they find some sort of Detroit weakness and put it out there on film.

Was I Patlerized by the self-professed Megalomanic Rat? Damn...

Ok, the Bears can't help the Packers, but they can hurt the Lions! If the Lions lose out (last 2 games of the season on the road in Chicago and Green Bay? Ouch), Philly and Dallas win out, they miss the playoffs!

Can the Bears help out the Packers this week?
