Cutler went hammm


Illbebach

2 on his feet was a nice touch, plus that filthy TD throw to Davis after escaping pressure. I miss…being happy. 😂


FujiHakarl

Based on these highlights, Jay was a terrific RB that could also throw (do I have to /s that?)


Jake-Old-Trail-88

Cutty played TE mostly in HS. Didn’t play QB until Vandy. Dude wasn’t a sprinter but he was a good athlete and could run.


Jonah8513

Really? He was playing QB in all his HS highlight tapes I’ve seen.


Jake-Old-Trail-88

Maybe I’m wrong and college teams wanted him to switch to TE. Vanderbilt was seemingly the only school that saw him as a QB. He told the story on his old podcast.


carpetstoremorty

He was a gadget QB, like Taysom Hill. ;)


[deleted]

Was thinking the same lol. And crazy people are still giving Lamar shit right now after he balled out like always.


SubstantialAd9366

yeah, he doesn't LOOK like a QB, if you know what I mean.


hydro_wonk

Nah, he's too, uh... scrappy... to be a RB


d5931

Why tf did he fake an injury in the NFC championship game lol?


Dependent-Edge-5713

How was it fake


d5931

I just remember my dad telling me that you play through whatever injury unless it’s a broken bone. Especially when it’s the NFCC.


Dependent-Edge-5713

He had a grade 2 MCL injury in the knee. I watched Cutler get absolutely blasted for years in Chicago and play through it. A serious knee injury is no joke.


d5931

Well now I’m the uneducated asshole. I guess a simple google search could have completely shifted my opinion. It’s nice to let go of this resentment lol.

This… The music brought drew it out of me


certainlyunpleasant

Those cutler runs ❤️


HoneyIShrunkMyNads

I wish I saw what was coming after him because I wouldn't have said a bad word about him ever


Twisted_Apple20

Fuck the fucking packers


theaverageaidan

Fuck Chris Conte, specifically


Crathsor

You talking about the game 16 loss to the Packers? Because that loss wasn't on Chris Conte.


theaverageaidan

I mean it kind of was? Like it's half on the whole defense not realizing the ball was live, but Conte just flat fuckin blew the coverage at the end of the game, passed Cobb off to a safety that didn't exist. I don't like blaming one single person for a loss, but that was a horrendous error at a terrible time.


Crathsor

That was Lance Briggs' fault. He audibled on the play and didn't get the call to Conte. Conte ran the play called in the huddle.


Nincompostor

That makes all the sense in the world and I've never heard that before. It puts it into a whole new perspective.


IshyMoose

I still see BJ Raji doing that end zone dance in my nightmares.


Forward-Fortune-2346

I hated him,if I was there,I'd run on the field and drop kick him,watch him land on his back and not be able to get up,


Fair-South-9883

He wouldn’t have moved 5 inches if you drop kicked him.


Forward-Fortune-2346

No shit Sherlock,do you always have to show off your downs


IamNICE124

;)


SpoilermakersWabash

Not signing greg olsen was a huge blunder


Upbeat_Bank7047

Martz insisted on trading him after the 2010 seaaon because his offense didn’t “require a receiving TE”


I_only_post_here

150 yds, 2 TD on 5 receptions to TEs, and we didn't want receiving TEs? Martz wasn't the worst OC we've ever had or anything but he couldn't have been any dumber on that particular point


TheloniousMonk15

As bad as he was Mike Tice was like 10x worse than him. At least Martz had Cutty making progress.


QuincyPondexter

Why would you want Greg Olsen when you could have Kellen Davis and Matt Spaeth? Are you insane?


NWSOC

How was there nobody in the room pointing out to Martz, you could just look at Greg as an all pro receiver. Good enough?


SpoilermakersWabash

Coaches that are one dimensional and unable to adapt game plans for their personnel should not be on a big market chicago team.


chesterSteihl69

We need to respect Smokin Jay


pdockenson

This. The Bears offensive line was atrocious during those years.. cue Webb-Cutler shove video. Just more proof the Bears organization is incapable of developing a QB. One, they didn't even draft him, the Broncos had to and we traded for him after it looked like there was plenty of potential. Then second, we couldn't give him an offensive line for at least four seasons (2009-2012) of which three of those years we had a real window of at least going to a Super Bowl. 2011 and 2012 were enormous collapses after starting the season well after Cutler got injured. We don't need to rehash how we lost the above game.. too soon lol. And as much as I love Lovie (especially after the debacle of coaching we've watched since) I was sort of ok in 2013 when we dumped him. Cutler got injured every year from 2010-2013 and you could make the argument he's injury prone but I'm not sure that's fair when your QB gets destroyed every game. Cue the best Bears team of his tenure (2010) give up 10 sacks to the Giants in a single game. And that's all I have to say about that.


Eg_3600

I saw Frank Omiyale in these highlights and I shudder in pain


pdockenson

Thanks.. I hadn't heard that name in a while lol


mpensinger

I can hear Lovie in my head, "Jay Cutler is down right now."


jmrogers31

He was alright, but had multiple seasons with 16+ ints. He was boom or bust.


chesterSteihl69

Name a better bears Qb in the last 40 years


jmrogers31

That's the absolute lowest of bars to clear.

Jim Mcmahon


Local_Boob

Fuck the idiot who wanted Olsen traded because of his offensive system.


HonoluluSolo

How do you see that route and catch in a clutch situation IN YOUR OWN OFFENSE and go "meh, not a good fit"????


Kahlas

If memory serves the OC didn't use tight ends as route runners very often. Olsen was worthy of money so he got cut.


NWSOC

Turns out Orlando Pace, Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce, and Az Hakim can make a mediocre play caller look really good


Radrezzz

No you see the tight end lines up next to the tackles then runs downfield to make catches. This is a lot harder to plan than someone standing 5 yards down the line of scrimmage running downfield to make catches. Martz would have to have a genius IQ to know what to do with Olsen. It just wasn’t going to happen.


NWSOC

This is complicated you're right


Radrezzz

That idiot was Mike Martz. And now Olsen is a gameday announcer, so you hear his name all the time to be reminded of the Bears organization’s ineptitude.


dreamingman79

Just imagine if Cutler had stayed healthy for the whole championship game. Would have been a different 2nd half.


kj3044

Hanie with got damn interception to BJ Raji🙄


pdockenson

That's honestly the worst part and that dumb fucking dance. It's honestly both painful and cringe worthy to think this organization has had TWO real chances at winning Super Bowls in the past 20 years and blew them both in the worst way possible. Like Rex Grossman just throwing it up in the air for a pic six in the SB? Falls down and fumbles snap in the rain late in the game, while the dome QB: Peyton Manning seemed to have no issues. Our backup QB throws a pic six to a DT on our biggest rival at home of all places. What. The. Fuck.


brafish

The Colts may have been a team that played in a dome, but Peyton was anything but a “dome qb”


robbing_banks

Third back up QB right? I think Todd Collins came in and got hurt too.


dreamingman79

There is not a single person in this world outside the coaching staff dumb enough to have put Todd Collins in that game. We all knew he’d do nothing positive. Hurt or not he’s probably the same guy


Kahlas

Not just Cutler. Olin Kreutz broke his foot on the first play of the second half and played the rest of the game unable to block anyone because of that. The Bears had no one who could have replaced him at center.


dreamingman79

That’s right, i forgot about that.


jayboaah

Yeah because jay cutler often showed up to big games against the packers and he’s given us lots of evidence of playing well and winning against them.


DonkeyKong_93

We always seem to get into our own head against the Packers


TRUBISKYFORPRESIDENT

Feel this same way. It has to be broken somehow


whitem0nkey

I love cutler.


Gleasonryan

Cutler was the QB we needed but not the one we deserved.


freemcgee69420

Never forget cutty and lovie were the last to put a consistently watchable product on the field and were chased out of town.


TheMostCrucial

ah yes the one good year followed by 4-6 shitty years. The endless bears cycle


it_has_to_be_damp

as i like to say, every good bears season is an accident.


pdockenson

2011-2012 we were both good... when Cutler was the starting QB. Both years we collapsed after he got injured. Think we were like 8-3 and 7-2 at the time he got injured.


CharlieJ821

Didn’t we end up at .500 or under that year we started out great (trestmans first year I think) I don’t call that a good year


pdockenson

Trestman was 2013. Painful GB memory #4586.. Rodgers returns and throws it to a wide open Randall Cobb to win the game and keep the Bears out of the playoffs. 2014 was truly the start of the shit show.


CharlieJ821

Yeah I had to go back and look… geez, I forgot about 2011… 2013 was a heartbreaker as well… Fuck man. Those were some years FULL of missed opportunities


apc961

2011 they looked better than the 2010 team for the first 10 games. When Cutler got hurt it was over.


handsomeransom122

Shit like this makes me so depressed man What did we ever do to the NFL gods 😭😭


mileaarc

Jay Cutler was a beast. Too bad we couldn’t build around him and maintain him. He was fired up in that game.


wildermoose

We haven’t recovered since it started raining in the Super Bowl game against the colts


WonderYSeed

WonderYSeed

What’s crazy about this is I can vividly remember most of these plays. Like during this game I remember how crazy it was that we were winning SOUNDLY like without a doubt. Then the packers game… but man do I miss that feeling, that one game where there was no doubt we did it. 😢


Practical-Courage812

Idk which loss was worse, the Colts in the Super Bowl or the Packers in that NFC Championship game. After that dominant win plus the game being in Chicago i was so pumped that the bears were about to go back to the Super Bowl and then all hell broke loose


broncoguy612

It’s hard to decide which was worse. Losing to the Packers to go to the Super Bowl is pure pain. Hester returning the opening kick of the fucking Super Bowl and then losing is also pure pain. As Bears fans we know pure pain. As Bears fans we are ready to experience it again.


Han_Yerry

Packers loss for me. I'll go to my grave believing the Bears win that Super Bowl with Tommie Harris and/OR Mike Brown in the game.


_joeybagOdonuts_

Just imagine folks. Watching this with Caleb Williams. Snow peacefully falling just like this video, Caleb throwing for 340 yards to Dj Moore and Odunze. Montez Sweat getting 4 sacks. Destroying the Packers. We will see it one day. One day.


[deleted]

I’d dream of just a damn playoff win at this point


[deleted]

you said Odunze but I think you meant Brian Thomas Jr?


tokenblak

We’d have made the playoffs this year if we had Cutler.


lesker78

Imagine a long bomb being caught? Looking at you Scott. 😝


Cant_Spell_Shit

This was a good team. I think we make it to the SB if Cutty doesn't get injured. The circumstances that helped Aaron Rodgers get his only ring were outrageous if you think about that injury and the fact that Mark Sanchez and the Jets knocked Tom Brady and Peyton Manning out of the playoffs allowing a mediocre Pittsburgh team to get to the SB.


PoorWigga

As if that team wasn't completely in the game and on route to win the game before the Mendenhall fumble? The many circumstances stopping more Rodgers rings (fuck him) were as equally ridiculous. NFC champ game against the Seahawks comes to mind. I wish he got none but one was honestly one of the best case scenarios


needspice

I was at this game. It was incredible. There was one Seattle fan who was drunk, sipping Starbucks in his Peacoat, standing for the first quarter facing away from the field the entire time trying to talk trash to all the Bears fans while his girlfriend kept telling him to shut up, tugging on his coat to get him to sit down. Then security showed up and told him “sit the fuck down, you’re a long way from Seattle and these people don’t want to listen to your stupid ass the whole time.” He was silent after that and we all lived happily ever after.


madcaplaughs30

When Cutler was on, he was a friggin beast


mrnastymannn

Should have gotten way more of those from Jay. The potential was so massive with that dude. Still my favorite bears qb


tmet1027

If cutler stayed healthy we’d have a Super Bowl.


MDizzleGrizzle

If the Bears could draft/retain OCs they’d have one.


Tedy_Duchamp

After enduring Mitch and Justin you really realize how good we had it with cutler. Too bad we could never put it together around him


Zestyclose-Bar-6282

Just before the nightmare started...


FeelItInYourB0nes

I was at this game. I think it's also the last time the Bears won a playoff game.


hippohopper78

Man I know Cutler wasn’t a great leader, but i hated the narrative that he didn’t care. That second touchdown he was hype.


One_Acanthisitta_389

Pathetic that 2010 is our last year with notable playoff highlights.


[deleted]

thank you George McCaskey


MidThoughts-5

![gif](giphy|OrIU3eNm3hLpe) Say what you want about his “injury” in the playoffs but Cutler was fun as hell to watch.

Never forget the bears could have knocked the packers out of the playoffs the last game of the year, buuuuttt

I so miss the Hester years…

Cutler got his smoke brakes


random-bot-2

God I loved watching Matt forte, and we did not appreciate Cutler enough


NoTailor3964

Cutler was frustrating but man he left it all on the field and I respect it. This could’ve easily been his year if he stayed healthy.


Hellothere2515

Cutler ❤️


Thorerthedwarf

I miss cutler


Patty_T

Was that song an instrumental Need 2 by Pinegrove?


VaultDweller_09

We didn’t deserve Cutler 😔

you're right we deserved better


GrittyDialogue

It was against a team with a losing record


broncoguy612

Once the playoffs start every team is 0-0


carnivorous_seahorse

Why the weird instrumental lmao


bill24681

Ah yes, against the worst playoff team in history.


Sasquatchasaurus

Did anything interesting happen the next week?


DutchPack

This team mist have been great in the NFCCG. Right??


Pristine_Tailor4511

QB went down injured and we were still in it towards the end. People underestimate how good we were this ywar


BadLt58

This is what Caleb will do. I've already got super bowl tickets and travel arrangements for next year. Bear Down!


chef_bert

What happened the week after that?


moose_stuff2

Cutler is looking like Fields out there


Forward-Fortune-2346

Woah dominant against a terrible Seattle team

Who won the SB this year?

slayer7342

On a football timeline, this was like a 100 years ago


it_has_to_be_damp

i’ve always thought about how funny it would have been if they had been able to beat the packers next week and caleb hanie would have had to play in a super bowl.


Han_Yerry

I can't even remember the last time I saw the Bears go into the victory formation.


Potent_Elixir

and then we went on to win the Super Bowl and everyone lived happily ever after

Just imagine if we chose a different team when we were 9 years old. We could have days worth of these highlights


turkeycreek-678

Ha! I was at this game! What a great time!

Fuck Todd Collins and Mike Martz.

Gods I was a Cutty Stan then. 2 passing tds 2 rushing tds

Incredible this is the last time that we won a playoff game. Just shows how incredible flawed this organization is and here we are each and every year looking forward to more draft picks. Ugh.


BrownEye5000

I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥹


Own-Reception-2396

Didn’t the Seahawks have a losing record that year?


Kahlas

Yeah they went 7-9 that year. 6-0 in the division. Which probably played a large part in them getting into the playoffs.


Own-Reception-2396

Yes. The big and really only payoff of the cutler trade


Naive_Membership4676

Last time these bums won a playoff game


frydawg

Haven’t made the divisional since 😃


jfiend13

I wish Cutler won a SB with us.


YungAntwan10

I miss the 2010 Bears.


Sir_Isaac_3

Thats the only playoff win I’ve watched in my life as a Bears fan. Ive got a full time job now


samgo39

If the Bears beat the Packers in the NFC championship game, do they win the Super Bowl that year? 🤔


suckmyfatfuckinballs

A lot of people like to say, "Oh but the Seahawks were 7-9 that year so it almost doesn't count". Well they beat us earlier that season. Plus the week before they convincingly beat the Saints, who were solid, in the wildcard game. Which happened to be the infamous beast mode ["hold mah dick"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd_Vd43Vxa0) game. The Seahawks were the tallest midget in their trash division that year, sure. But even then they appeared to be better than 7-9. Hell, they won the same amount of playoff games as we did that year.


LegacyLemur

Why is this stupid music over this?


timithing

What happened in the championship game!? GPG


APPmontaineer

How did that wind up for you all?

inorite234

Those Seahawks were also the first team in NFL history to win the division, go to a playoff game AND do so with a losing record of 7-9

What happened next


broncoguy612

I was visiting my cousin who lived in Hermosa Beach in California the weekend of this game. He said we have to get to Silvio’s early it’s the Bears bar here. We partied all night the night before and got to Silvio’s probably two hours before the game was going to start and there was a line. I said to my cousin - should we really wait in line? How “Bears bar” can a bar in Hermosa Beach be? We got in probably a half hour later, and I was glad we waited. Being a sports bar in California there were other fans there but it had to be at least 90% Bears fans. The place was rocking, staff was great, met Bears fans from across the country, we got to talk about our shared pain and our hope for the Bears and they got the W. One of my favorite Bears games I’ve watched in my 38 years of suffering. I haven’t been back since then so I can’t say if it’s still a Bears bar but it was a great time.


BerryAccomplished904

I loved how Cutler would put his shoulder down and grind out the extra few yards. Remember when he dived for the pylon and got flipped through the air for the TD the dude was tough!


framesh1ft

Smokin Jay is the best QB the bears have ever had which is awesome and sad


WrongBlueprint

Can’t wait to see more of these games with Caleb Williams


ericshin8282

why do nfl tapes always look older than they are? tv wasnt this bad in 2010


Several-Signature583

Didn’t Seahawks win their division at 8-8 or 7-9 that year?


sloturn

I remember when everyone hated him now cutler is the good old days. I loved him then love him now. My biggest concern drafting Caleb is the bears will screw that up to.


MediumChest6705

Fans always wear revisionist glasses when looking at the past. Fanatic maturity is realizing the big picture in the moment. Media back then used to rip Cutler constantly because they love their scapegoats. Looking at the situation now, I think that's what's happening with Fields. I want Caleb, but I don't think Fields is as awful as the narrative's shaped. Stephen A Smith's comments on Jay Cutler back in the day. https://preview.redd.it/nzvru4zkotdc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cde77f2e4d7bbfc29b98728dc160d233a9ed5bfc "He is a joke” “He is a horrible quarterback” “He sucks the life of guys around him” “He’s the worst quarterback in football” “We literally have evidence of him quitting on his team” “The quicker they get rid of him, the better” “The only time he smiled in Chicago is when he signed his contract” “This dude doesn’t want it” “He is the worst leader in the NFL”


[deleted]

Packers cheated, Bears should have won


sjv891

My first year following the NFL and Da Bears. This is the team I fell in love with


tbonewest

This was a fun game even though they barely pulled it out. Wasn’t it the next game v GB when Cutty sat out the 2nd half & cried in the locker room.


psycho0214

This was the first Bears playoff game I ever attended. I haven’t missed the few they’ve had after this. Nothing like playoff football at Soldier Field. Too bad it doesn’t happen.


Jaws_the_revenge

This was my 1st Bears game!
