NFL Talk - 2010-11 Season

[Dorian Thompson]

Oh, I see. Someone ought to inform the posters on yahoo of that. They're giving new meaning to "vicious." And they say women are bitchy and mean. They've got nothing on Chicago fans.

 

[Timby]

Eh, it's Chicago. Being mad at the quarterback is kind of a reflex after the last few decades.

Safety Chris Harris on Twitter:

I will defend my QB all day. He was injured and he couldn't go. No one on our team questions his toughness POINT BLANK! He's a tough SOB

Glad to see that the team is standing by Cutler.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

Cutler looked like he wanted to open a vein in that post game photo.

 

[T'Grinch]

**pops in to smile at Steeler victory** This Pittsburgher is happy. Although, our play in the second half was *not* what it should have been. The first half was awesome.

What a game. Don't know if my ticker can take another one like that.

 

[1001001]

I am no Cutler fan, nor Bears fan for that matter, but Jesus Jumped-Up Christ is Cutler getting a bad deal.

How can anyone question this guy's toughness? You can question his decision-making, sure. But this guy is a Serious MoFo. He works his ass off. If you can't see that, you're not really a football fan.

PS: I have had a torn MCL, and I could stand perfectly fine without pain. The problem was when I moved my knee felt like it was held together by strawberry jam. I was able to avoid surgery but had a brace and crutches for many weeks. Standing on the sidelines would have been easy for me, and I'm not a professional athlete.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

They're questioning his toughness, his manhood, his character, and everything else en masse at yahoo and on the NBC boards. Like I said, I hope his ligaments are torn, but the postings are full of "When I was [playing in HS, college, the NFL back in the good ole days] I played on a bad knee/injured knee/dislocated kneecap.....etc. etc. etc...."

Apparently, everybody's penis in the city of Chicago is larger and more tumescent than Cutler's flaccid dick.

I dont claim any special insight, but I do watch a lot of football. There is no fucking way Cutler would have pulled himself out of a 14 point game for a chance at the Super Bowl unless he had no choice. I just flat out don't believe it.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

They seriously don't like the guy. Denver fans are chiming in that they're glad they're rid of "that pussy/wimp" and "don't you remember when Rivers was making fun of him from the San Diego sidline" and yada yada yada....? I had no idea Cutler was so disrespected. I mean, Rodgers is the one that looks like the classic nerd from "The Big Bang Theory." Seriously, can no one see it but me? His face is a dead ringer for Wolowitz. Why does no one make fun of him?

 

[Aragorn]

Well in addition to a lot of sports fans being irrational and stupid (especially when they spend all their time bitching and moaning about sports on message boards), the fact that it's Jay Cutler is probably what's causing a lot of the venom.

 

[Calhoun24]

Another happy Pittsburgher chiming in stating that it was one heck of a game. yeah, we owned the first half, but we also let NY back in the game. We can't do that against GB in Dallas. Tomlin will coach them to remember that the game is 60 minutes, not 30. We do that, and we'll be OK.

GO STEELERS!

Hear Hear, I agree. BUT just HOW many games do we have to almost suffer cardiac arrest?......

HERE WE GO STEELERS!!!!!

 

[Pegaritaville]

I had no idea that Cutler was such a lightning rod for Chicago fans. I assumed they were so happy to get of the alternatives that they were happy to have him.

It's a good thing I no longer have a bookie- I would have been wrong on both games. For just the second time in 23 years, I didn't make plans to go to Vegas for the Super Bowl (new puppy and all). Now that the Packers are in, it's killing me to think about staying here for the game.

 

[Aragorn]

Wow. On "Up all Night with Jason Smith," the very first caller he took regarding NFL football was some uniformed, irate Bears fan tearing Cutler a new one and praising the third string QB.

A couple calls later, a Bears fan supported Cutler and ripped Martz.

Then another Bears fan said he was so upset at the game he threw his remote at his TV and broke the TV! He's also under the belief that Cutler let the city down and the only way he can be forgiven is if his injury is so severe that he can't do anything for six months.

Are Bears fans really this psychotic and idiotic?

 

[pork3]

Good stuff.
Hate the Steelers but hate the Jets just a little bit more.

Go Packers!!
-Jamman

 

[Jack Bauer]

Stupid Jets.

Now we'll get two weeks of how Ben overcame "adversity" to get back to the Super Bowl.

Well... I guess I'll be cheering for the Packers. At least Aaron Rodgers is a respectable guy.

Go Packers. I'm tired of the Steelers.

 

[Skywalker]

Holy crap, Bears fans (not including Timby). You've got your first legitimate quarterback in--what, decades?--and you're throwing him under the bus like that? I'd like to see these ingrates try to play one of the most physically punishing sports with possibly two torn knee ligaments. The poor guy wanted to keep playing, but he was (wisely) pulled out by Lovie Smith and the trainers.

Sometimes I hate sports fans.

 

[Sheep]

I had no idea that Cutler was such a lightning rod for Chicago fans. I assumed they were so happy to get of the alternatives that they were happy to have him.

A lot of people haven't forgiven him for his first year with the Bears and his name being practically a synonym for "interception". These people refuse to see that there's no QB past or present who could've played significantly better with the Bears' swiss cheese offensive line and HORRIBLE offensive coordinator. The Bears put some bandaids on those things this year but that still didn't make them a TRULY good team, an assertion I've made all season long. They could have EASILY been 7-9 instead of 11-5.

Cutler makes some bad decisions, but it's not even close to being all on him like the armchair people retards on sports message boards think.

 

[Yoda]

Aaron Rodgers does not look like Wolowitz at all. From certain angles he kind of looks like Ryan the Temp, but that doesn't really survive much scrutiny either.

What he does look like though, is a cast member of Tombstone...

As for Jay Cutler... yeah it looked awkward him just standing there on the sideline... but I have a hard time believing that his injury isn't legit. Burning his jersey and basically trying to run him out of town is horribly misguided.

I'd say two more games. Fortunately, we only have one left - the one that counts.

 

[JM1776]

I remember thinking, God, I hope Cutler's knee is pretty messed up, or he may not escape Chicago alive, and then realizing that wishing a serious injury on someone wasn't exactly charitable.

I guess I just hope it's serious enough to mollify Bears' fans, yet something from which he can recover fully before next season begins.

Or something like that.
