Jay's not bad, but you're not going to win the SB with just him. He's a headcase and benefits from the rules of today.

58-50 as a starter, but Trestman looks to have him going in the right direction. Maybe he'll figure it out late in his career. I doubt it. He'll put up numbers, but make the crucial mistake.

Tauscher mentioned yesterday that maybe Lacy is affected by the fact that the Packers are using the shotgun so much. I think what he was referring to is that he is sometimes almost stationary when he takes the handoff because he is lining up so close to Rodgers. Does Lacy because he's heavier than the other backs need the momentum he gets from taking a couple of steps before he takes the handoff?

I really do think that's a big part of it, of course this would be stubby not using him properly. But that shouldn't be a surprise since it seems to be this coaching staffs way to never flex the scheme to the talent of the player.

I think the "head case" thing with Cutler is totally a media creation. He looks droopy, has a dour affect. That's what you see on TV, that's the only odd thing about the guy. He's resourceful and tough. He does throw some Favresque picks.

I respect his toughness. He clearly does not give a damn what anybody thinks about him, he doesn't do the usual phony talk in interviews. The guy is a type I diabetic who has to shoot insulin everyday, that is a pretty major health problem for an athlete to overcome. His teammates, the people who know what he is actually like, back him to hilt.

That's crazy talk HH. He's a bear, dammit! Get your head straight, or next thing you'll be talking about what a great human being Urlacher is!

MAdtown might suspend my account.

I have to agree with Mission and was thinking the same thing about Lacy. He looked all world in the pre-season. The only thing that I can think of is the concussion? Is he playing scared at this point? You don't get in WORSE shape after pre-season and he looked great then.

It is difficult for Lacy to look good when he is greeted by tacklers behind the LOS. MM is using him incorrectly. Don't toss him the rock 4 yards behind the LOS out of the shotgun and instead put Kuhn or a TE in there and let Eddie get into the secondary and knock some heads. IMO the O line has been very poor run blocking so far this season. Lacy is running hard but has no hole to shoot thru.

Yes.

After Denver, the Bears were secretly a distant 2nd in the league in points last year despite Cutler missing 5 games. Most Packer fans have a very skewed picture of Jay Cutler because Capers has always had Cutler's number. The rest of the world thinks enough of him to give him the 6th best MVP odds in Vegas, tied with Kaepernick and Wilson. The rest of that offense speaks for itself. Its the best WR tandem in football and also a top 5 running back. They are clearly much better than Seattle's offense.

Forte is an excellent back, their TE is no slouch and they have arguably the best WR duo in the league. Happily they still have Cutlet. Jay has a strong arm but all of his talents are from the neck down.

When Starks gets 0 carries it is hard to say.

Last week Starks looked better than Lacy.

We'll see Thursday! Thursday! Thursday!

He throws INTs in bunches.

So I hear that Nick Perry was pretty invisible against the Bears, that Pennel was only a slight upgrade over Guion, and that House sucked?

And is Casey Hayward still invisible? Dude hasn't done shit yet.

As mentioned by someone else, Hayward being invisible is a good thing. If he was on the field, his man was not getting targeted and he didn't get beat for a big completion. House, who you did hear about, is the concern. I'll give him a pass for falling on his ass in the endzone allowing a TD, (there were a lot of players falling all over the place) but he was at the center of a couple of other big plays.

Overall, I'm not concerned about the secondary. It was Forte getting 7 yards on first down that worries me.

Perry played a bit. Overall, it was disappointing that he made little contribution. We needed him to play well to give Claymat a break with Clay's groin acting up. He played a bit and actually had a few strong pass rushes, but he really isn't delivering the goods.

Pennel is strong, but way green. He must learn how to be violent with his hands. He gets caught up in hand fighting with his opponent and can't get off the line. He might be a factor sometime, but probably not this season. We will probably have to give him more snaps bc Guion is no factor, either.

House showed some hustle, but I think it was on ST.

Hayward? Where did that kid go anyhow?
