I didn't really read too much into Cutler walking/standing on the sideline. If he's hurt, he's hurt. Only he knows. Fuck it. It's only football.

Perhaps my view is clouded, we are used to our QB playing with broken bones, limbs in casts/slings, taking shots to numb pain before/during games, etc.. :)

I'll give you that one.
Just hope that Farva doesn't start doing the Ali Shuffle here in about 10 years... (if he can walk)

Quoted for great justice!

The national sports media is playing up the Cutler story to fit their narrative that he is a whiny bitch, it's just unfair. The guy got sacked 56 times this year, he played most of a quarter with a concussion. In this game he tore his MCL and because of it he couldn't set his feet to throw. You could see it in the series that he played right before they benched him, his throws were weak and inaccurate. The local sideline reporter said that Cutler was fighting the Bears' medical staff to get back on the field but they wouldn't let him. National media ignores these facts.

Anyone who’s watched the Bears during the Cutler area knows the beating he has taken. Just watch him when he runs, he’s not afraid to hit someone if it means the difference between a punt and playing another set of downs.
Sure you can question his mechanics, leadership and personality but the one thing he has always shown is that he’s tough and can take a hit.

Kreutz said in the huddle he could see Culter’s leg shaking.

This was a great year for Bears fans, everyone thought they’d be scraping the bottom of the division instead we got to see our guys play in the championship game. We should be talking about the defense holding the Packers to 14 and how well Hanie handled himself coming off the bench.

The worst thing about that game was the end-around on the 3rd and 3, the Pack defense was winded, Forte and Taylor had been running well on them you had 2 shots to pick-up 3 yards for the 1st down. The wizard Martz tries to sprinkle the magic dust with a surprise end-around to Bennett that ends with a loss. Ugh that sucked.

In the end though, Hanie was better than Cutler. Even if Cutler wasnt injured for what, 3 plays? He still probley wouldnt have done better than Hanie. The bears are going to keep playing Cutler... and the Packers are going to keep winning. :-D

Correct me if my stats are wrong but,

Cutler=
6/13 passes
1 interception
80yds

Hanie=
13/20 passes
2 interceptions
153yds

Collins.. 6.3 passer rating....

[JeffRR]

Hanie played well considering he’s #3 on the depth chart, most Bear fans who have seen Hanie in the preseason have know that he has some skills. What is surprising is that Todd Collins was #2, that’s a little disturbing.

I’m not too worried about Cutler, he’s shown this year that he can play well even against a good defense. He got his arsh rocked against the Cowboys early on and still had a great game. Another great game against the Jets. The troubling sign is that he’s had 4 stink fests against the Packers in 5 games, is Dom Capers in his head?

But on the bright side, the Bears D has proven that they can slow down Aaron “walks on water” Rodgers and the mighty Packer offense.

Haha, Aaron "walks on water"...

anyone can slow the Packers offense, it happens at some point in everygame. the Packers biggest problem is the offensive play caller (Mike McCarthy) often has his head up his ass.

OMG the goal line! lets run 3 run plays right up the middle even though we suck at running plays up the middle!

[Ryan...]

Looks like the center Pouncey may not play. If thats the case Raji could have a field day tearing up the middle of that O Line :D

World champions!

Ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Seems like Tomlin really isn't backing any of his players, he's basically called out Ben, Troy and Harrison..
