Did Cutler just get picked off by the nose guard?

Jolly:

You are a DT. You are not a ballcarrier. FALL DOWN.

But sweet play!

Well, at least I’m going against Cutler in my money league…

Have I mentioned that we have issues in our secondary yet?

Cutler’s kind of falling on his ass in his Bears debut here. Rodgers isn’t exactly burning down the house either.

Hell yes. We need it. The season should be seen as practice for the pre-season where real coaching has to be done.  
You people have no idea how desperate a Lion fan can get.

Damn, Cutler sucks. It’s not like he’s playing any kind of competent defense here. He’s just throwing like shit.

ETA, might end up being a touchback, and Bears’ possession.

How bad is the NBC broadcast? No replay on the illegal contact downfield, no replay here on a potential change-of-possession review? Who runs this show?
