Cutler Disappoints in Opener

Bears fans were left speechless quarterback Jay Cutler’s performance last night against the Green Bay Packers, but not in the way Cutler and the rest of the Bears were hoping. Instead of leading his team to a strong offensive performance, Cutler threw four interceptions and finished with a rating of only 43.2. Those turnovers led to a painful 21-15 loss to their rival Green Bay Packers.

Coach Lovie Smith said, “It’s pretty simple what happened tonight. Any time you have four turnovers, you’re normally not going to win the football game, especially against a good Packers team… We needed to make plays throughout, but we have to protect the ball better than that, there’s no way around it. We’re not set up that way. No team is set up that way. Jay will play better next time out.”

Cutler also weighed in with, “It’s tough. I think probably the city of Chicago is disappointed. I’m disappointed. Ninety people in that locker room are disappointed; coaches and players. So it’s tough. But we’ve got 15 more games to play. There’s a lot of football left. This team I think ultimately in the end we’re going to overcome this one and bounce back, and we’re going to be fine.”
