Sick of # 6

I thought we had put the past away (and stepped back from that ledge my friend). Apparently not. On Sunday afternoon, Cutler showed flashes of the 26 INT season he endured a year ago. Carelessly launching the football around the field with seemingly no sense of instinct for where his receivers were on any given play, ultimately leading to the Bears second straight home loss to a mediocre team with a morbid color scheme (Redskins and Seahawks? Come on). The Bears/Skins game had more turnovers than a danish bakery and the city is on Jay Cutler again--relentlessly blaming his ineptitude on his diabetes, cursing his socialite girlfriend with hateful responses to her recent "Me and Jay just carved pumpkins" tweet (true story). Prior to Cutler's arrival in Chicago, we used to compare Cutler and Brett Favre for their tremendous arm strength and their uncanny ability to place the ball in a window the size of a women's locker room peephole. Now, the only similarity the two quarterbacks share is in their ability to lure attention-driven cosmopolitan starlets to their hotel suite using the powers behind the camera application on their Droid Incredible.

Had Cutler thrown 4 INT's trying to make something happen to push the Bears into "Field Gould" range and swallowed his pride in the postgame press-conference, it would have been a different animal, a whole new can of worms if you will (shout-out Matt DeMars). Instead, Cutler completed more passes to DeAngelo Hall (4) than his Tight End and starting Running Back combined (3). He had two turnovers in the Red Zone: a goal line plunge fumble that stripped the Bears of 6 points, and a back-footed lob interception that turned into 6 points for the Redskins. Even J'Marcus Webb can do that Math--"that's a 12 point swiiiiing, y'aaaaaalllllll". Still, the most puzzling incident that happened on Sunday could have been Cutler's postgame press-conference in which he boldly stated "If we played them again tomorrow, I'd go at him (DeAngelo Hall) every time if I could." Really Jay? You threw four picks to the guy in one half. You would've had 5 INT's if Laron Landry hadn't tried to catch one of your errant passes with his dome, coincidentally giving offensive tackle Chris Williams his first meaningful stat of the season, a reception.

The good news is, the Bears get a week off to watch the Packers take a 1/2 game lead in the division. The bad news, the Bears next 'performance' isn't even in the United States and after the way the Buffalo Bills played Sunday, it is conceivably a losable game. If the Bills can win anywhere, it's got to be the frigid, baron wasteland of Canada. Hopefully Cutler can block out all the cheese-eating surrender monkeys dressed in denim outfits in the stands with their neckties roped into Windsor knots, chugging Canadian Club Whiskey and bloviating about the Canadian healthcare system and their mutual adoration for all things Northern Pike. I'm seriously scared about this Buffalo game; Fitzpatrick was born for Canada.

As for Pick of the Day, the Pulse Man salvaged his Saturday 6 Pack with a win in his 'Big Ticket' pick. Still recovering from his weekend at EIU, which presumably erupted on Sunday afternoon after hearing the news that alumnus Mike Shanahan took down the Bears, the Pulse Man likes the Heat in the opening game of their 2010-2011 campaign against the Brian Scalbrine-less Boston Celtics at a 'pick em' value (-105).

Pick of the Day: Heat @ Celtics- HEAT (pick em) (-105)

Record:(25-20-0)

Now I'm done. Rack Me
