How widespread mistakes are sabotaging Bears offense

Cutler gets a boot in the ass for not protecting the ball but that's it.  The real focus should be on why he was even put in that situation to begin against a four man rush and Rich Campbell does a great job of breaking it down.

Let's look at two of Ryan Pace's offseason acquisitions; 1) Bobby Massie, and 2) Logan Paulsen.  We've already beaten the Massie horse to death, resurrected him, and then beat him to death again.  I decided to take the week off from posting so I haven't read many posts but for anyone might even thought of defending him again this week or saying "he's not that bad" or that "he blocking like he's supposed to".  Here's your sign.



Paulsen was yet another player his team was only too happy to be rid of.  On the second play of the game he simply ignored a blitzing Safety and Cutler gets nailed a split second after he gets the ball and sets to throw.  On this one he fails to set properly to protect and Curry begins to walk him straight back into Cutler collapsing the pocket to the right.

Massie comes off his block on the DT to help Paulsen and trips Long and them somehow Langford manages to trip over Long so a pass rusher comes free and Cutler no longer has his outlet receiver and his primary receiver Royal was tripped up and had fallen down.  I'd have hated to have been Cutler looking at that mess.

Had the protection held up and not forced a roll out White had single coverage and may have been open but there was no time to see it or set up to make a throw back to the middle of the field when he was once again running for his life.  So two players signed to improve our blocking can't even handle simple assignments or man on man pass blocking and once again our pass protection sucks.

But I'm still gonna blame this all on Cutler because that's the easiest and most common way of analyzing this stuff.  The we only have one guy to blame instead of the other three or four who ****ed up.
