I want to show you something that happened yesterday- Almost an exact duplicate in stats (and yes I understand that you can bend stats to say anything you want them to say, but when looking at this I was kinda shocked... And the league and national perception of two different players: Especially on this board.
This team has been talked about playoff contenders for this season- They also lost yesterday.
Play calling- They had 53 pass/ 14 run. Vs Bears 49 pass/18 run
They had 70 total plays vs Bears 69
They 408 total yards vs Bears 427
passing 1st downs: They 20 vs Jay 19
passing yards: They 354 vs Jay 349
12 drives for each team
35 completions vs Jay's 34 comp.
Interceptions: Each had 2- Each had the second int. in a KEY drive that could have changed the game.
Touchdowns- Each had 2 passing touchdowns.
They had 27:36 TOP vs Bears 34:42
They were sacked 3 for 18 vs Jay was sacked 2 for 8 yards
They only gave up 103 rushing yards vs Bears 193
They were praised for his guts and great play... Jay has been hammered all day (cause he spoke his mind in an interview?)
Andrew Luck is a great player- A much younger player, I get it. He also had a Rushing TD and a few scramble yards... but his stats are almost exactly the same as Cutler. Luck was playing the Broncos, Jay was playing the Bills... I get it. I'm not knocking Andrew Luck. I'm just pointing out how bias, and jaded some people are towards Jay Cutler. It's sad. Confusing to me.
Jay shouldn't have thrown the second INT... Absolutely stupid throw. He should have known better.
I understand that losing will bring out the blame- That's how it is... (and rightfully so)
Being the first game I'm still impressed about this offense- That they lost two starting Olineman, and a probowl WR for the second half- is even more impressive. (hoping Jeffery will be ok for next week)
It's a very tough schedule for the next 6+ games...I'm not sure what the record will be when we get to the bye week... I'm not sure it will be what we want.
Just wanted to point this out... do with it what you will. Don't agree? That's fine. Want to still bitch and complain about Jay Cutler? Ok that's your right/opinion. Just know that he's here for at least 2 more years. And I can hope that he can put up numbers similar to these throughout the year. Without the stupid interception of course.
