Facebook comments represent the shallowest section of the gene pool. I cannot recommend avoiding them enough.

My favorite teams
QB's make those types of throws...and not even to a DT. My issue is Cutler seems to have done this frequently as his time as a Bear...and I will reiterate...our D is pretty bad now. So Cutler has no margin for error when making those decisions, if he truly wants to be a winning QB and that sort of game situation comes again. He should either throw it away or run for a 1st down.
We can afford the occasional but rare fumble on Marshall, Forte, etc. But if you compound that with careless INT's, the objective of winning becomes tough, even against the poorer teams like the Bills.

We no longer have a defense that can make up for mistakes by the offense. The offense must protect the ball more than ever now. With the offensive talent at this point, avoiding these errors and poor decisions should not be that difficult.
I wish Cutler could take his "it's just one game" mentality and apply it to "it's just one play," prior to the snap, if you know what I mean. If he can live for another game, surely he can live for another play.
What annoys even more regarding Cutler's 2nd pick, aside from game situation as bud mentioned, is Trestman has said that on that series it was 4 down territory. They weren't going to punt on 4th down there.

Funny, when Favre was out setting the INT record, everyone called him "competitive". "He's just trying to win" If Cutler could win a game with a FG and he threw a pick trying to get a TD record, he'd be burned at the stake.

Favre had nine seasons with a QB rating over 90 when the NFL wasn't as pass-friendly as it is now.
Cutler has zero.

In Favre's first 9 years as a starter he was 9-5 in the playoffs, played in 3 conference championships, won two, with a Super bowl win.

If you take that all away and just look at the interceptions, and squint, Cutler is a similar QB and I don't know why "fans" like you can't see that.

lol. I hope for the day when Bears fans don't feel the need to compare their QB to Green Bay's. May never come though.

I would know "verey well" what you mean if you actually said what you mean, rather than something else entirely.
Don't be so emotional. Nobody "hates" Cutler. Or least, the people on this forum who criticize him don't. And why do you say "no matter how good he is", as if he was receiving unfair criticism after a great performance? He's criticized precisely because his performances are still maddeningly inconsistent and he still has the issue of making atrocious decisions at critical times to turn should-be wins into infuriating losses.
So what? That's like being the smartest kid in summer classes. It doesn't matter that he's better than the garbage the Bears have had in the past. How does he compare with his competition today?
(Actually don't answer that - I'm quite certain you'd only say something insane and off-the-wall stupid)
Every QB has players drop balls. EVERY QB! You seem to think Cutler is unique in suffering from all this terrible luck. Get real. And LMAO @ "one bad play". No, he had plenty, as he does in every game. Most of them are someone else's fault though, of course, because you fanboys are so emotionally invested in him that you'll throw everyone else under the bus to divert any responsibility from your precious Jay.

Favre is also one of the greatest QBs in the history of the game, with elite talent and record breaking production.
Cutler has game manager production with gunslinger turnovers.

People also don't seem to acknowledge that all picks are not created equal. There's a big difference between making a risky throw early in a game with a tied score and attempting a straight up a moronic throw late in the fourth.

MOst of that was popularity. He was greatly overrated. But he sold jerseys and people tuned in to watch, and THAT is more important than football skill these days.

Cutler didn't have the same system behind him two yeasrs in a row, didn't have an O-line worth a shit his first several years here (its still suspect) and certainly isn't pampered by the officials and the media as Favre was.

Most of the drops last Sunday would have converted third downs. Think about it. THREE drives stalled by dropped passes right in the hands of recievers. Where is Spurlock now? Why?
And Cutler had half the fan base against him from day one. Favre never had to deal with that, even when he blew obvious wins with stupid play.
