The Culter/Favre battle for the most turnovers is tied at 2 each with the latest int by Cutler.

How did Cutler know I was about to say something nice about him? It’s like he preemptively did something stupid to prevent me from jinxing him. Fucking Bears continue crapping out in the redzone. If they lose this game there’ll be no questions about where they failed.

Hope Hester is OK, that looks like a recipe for a sprained AC joint/ busted collarbone.

BTW, how did Carolina manage 16 points? I’d have put money on that game being a shutout even with that crappy Bucs run defense.

ETA: Unusually sound tackling from the Bears today.

I wish Forte would learn to hit the hole at full speed. The initial blocking has been adequate today, too much dancing and bouncing outside by both backs.

What happens if Thigpen gets hurt? Who is their emergency quarterback?

That botched interception was worse than the holocaust.

I predict that Thigpen gets and keeps the starting job the rest of the season.

I hope so. He deserved to be starting somewhere after that 22-touchdown half season in Kansas City.

What happened to Pennington today?

ETA: [Nevermind](http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5805414). I try not to laugh at injuries but that one is hilarious.

Looks like he lasted only 2 plays before hurting his shoulder. I would have been better off starting Henne in the SDMB big league!

Chilly should just change his plane ticket to Palm Springs now. No point in waiting.

ETA: Damn review. Spoke to soon, Chilly gets to keep his headset for another 30 minutes or so.

ETA2: OK, now you can make the call Chilly.

ETA3: Maybe not.

He lasted one play before injuring his shoulder. He stayed in for another play and then figured out he was done.

Thigpen just marched the 'Phins downfield and looked crisper than Henne has looked at any point this season.

OK, Chilly is cooked. Get me a fantasy TD Forte.

Jets get the ball back at the 30 with about 50 seconds left in a tie game, and make no actual effort to get into FG position. Chickenshit call, and also a vote of no confidence in Mark Sanchez.

I figured it’d be overturned, but I suppose they never saw the ball move when it touched the ground. Bert Emanuel rule in effect.

Favre with another pick.

Bears are up by two TD’s with 2:18 left. I have faith that Cutler can throw another one.

</div>

Incidentally, both QBs weren’t entirely to blame for half those picks. On 1 of Cutller’s and 2 of Favre’s the ball was either deflected at the line or dropped/slipped by a WR.
