This Is How It Feels To Lose A Gutsy NFL Game

“Looking back, I would say that I had the three quarterbacks ranked Cutler, Leinart and Young – yes”, he said.

While head coach John Fox and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio have had a mess on their hands trying to overhaul the other side of the ball with both personnel and scheme – the real reason for the five losses – the Gase experiment with Cutler already has been a smashing success. “We were doing a few good stuff out there and we had a pretty good beat on what they were doing, so it was just a matter of us finishing drives”. On Monday, he guided his 17th fourth-quarter comeback drive for a victory.

“I’ve got to watch the film, but I feel like (Jeffery) got pulled a little bit”, Cutler said. “He can catch. The (31-yard) catch he made on the wheel route, wide receivers have a tough time with that catch”.

For the season, Cutler’s 89.6 passer rating and 2.0 interception percentage are better than any of his previous single-season marks.

If Langford can come up big again next week, that will help the Bears in their decision-making process in regards to re-signing Forte after this season or letting him walk.

But immediately after that play, which put San Diego ahead by 13, Cutler dialed up a 47-yard pass to Jeffery. He finished the game with 27 completions in 40 attempts for 345 yards and two touchdowns.

He had been tied with Luckman at 137 until he threw a successful pass to Martellus Bennett for a one-yard score that gave the Bears the lead.

San Diego (2-7) lost its fifth straight. They reflect poorly enough on Mike McCoy and his staff that, during the upcoming bye week, it would not be surprising if the Chargers made a coaching change. It was the first time he didn’t throw for at least 300 yards in six games. In fact, the Bears have either won or lost their last five games by three or less points. The Chargers had to settle for Lambo’s 22-yard field goal. Stevie Johnson spiked the ball after being tripped up by Bryce Callahan at the 4 and was flagged for delay of game. This is a team that won’t be doing anything great this year, but in addition to whomever they get in the upcoming draft, they also get WR Kevin White for the first time next year. “I didn’t really spike it that hard but they called it and that is part of it. I’ve got to be smarter than that”. Cutler was fortunate that his fumble and his interception that was returned for a touchdown at San Diego were not the difference there. Floyd, among the more popular and respected players in recent Chargers history, left the game with a shoulder injury.

According to Obsev, Miller hadn’t caught an National Football League touchdown in four years, but he broke that drought with this ridiculous, one-handed snag.
