He also blamed the last INT on the wide receiver. Rigoddamdiculous.

Boy all those geniuses that picked Chicago to be any good are running and hiding right about now. Peter King has zero credibility when it comes to Super Bowl predictions.
Jay Cutler is a whiny ***** and his team will turn on him by Week 7 guaranteed! Couldn't happen to a sandier vagina!

You guys are acting like Collinsworth has ever known what he was talking about. He's probably one of the dumbest commentators I've ever heard.

And I don't have a problem blaming the Bears' receivers, but it's the inconsistency that gets me. We're always told QBs just win games, sometimes on their own (how often have we heard Manning or Brady or even Tim Tebow, who is surrounded by some of the top talent in college football, "willed his team to victory"?). And yet when the QB sucks it suddenly becomes a team game and other guys get their share of the blame pie too. It's just so dishonest.
I was thinking the same thing. And with the slide, he ended up being given more yardage than he earned, so no, Cris, he shouldn't have dove headfirst into 500 pounds of Bears defenders.

To be fair, there were a LOT of occassions where Bears recievers seemed to stop running routes.
It still ends up falling on Cutler because he seemed to be forcing the play too quickly a lot, but I think Collinsworth was right to point out that the recievers were absolutely terrible.
There's a tendency for everyone in this planet to put way too much of the credit/blame on a quarterback. It really grinds my gears when ex-coaches and ex-players cave in to that thought when they're giving commentary. You know that there's no way that they can believe what they're saying, otherwise you have to wonder how they got an NFL coaching gig in the first place. (I'm specifically thinking of some of the stuff Tony Dungy was saying in the post game)
Now, back to Collinsworth: the Rodgers not giving himself a concussion thing was absolutely ridiculous. And there were several times when Collinsworth was completely all over the place, seemingly talking about both teams in one sentence, or getting a lot of simple facts wrong.

And Green Bay barely beat them at home but they're Super Bowl bound? Please.

Both Green Bay and Chicago were overrated preseason in my opinion. Green Bay struggled at times against a Bears defense that was without Urlacher for most of the game. They were also exposed on the O-Line. However, they did win the game, and I think that will add a lot to Rodgers confidence. They should at least go 3-0 to start. If they don't, they won't win much more than 8 games. If they do, they probably win about 10 and get the Wild Card.
Chicago was dealt another blow today, as Brian Urlacher is out for the rest of the season. Chicago will improve as the year goes, but I don't see them being much bettter than 8-8.

I need to have Rivers not pass for tds, and low scoring from Kaeding. Up by 13, in a league with 3 pt pass tds.

this format doesn't give him time to do what he does best. nobody on tv is able to take a play and explain it to me like he does. show me who is doing what and why decisions were made.
now it seems like games drag on enough for him to break down each play before they next is run, but only seems that way

I saw an Oxi Clean commerical this weekend with a woman doing voice over. I was saddened.
