Passing Offense: F
I will just get right to the point here and just say what is on the mind of every Bears fan who watched this game: The passing offense was pathetic and that is putting it mildly.
Jay Cutler completed 22 of 37 passes for 272 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions and a fumble. When you look at the 272 yards, it would be easy to be tricked into thinking that Cutler played a decent game, but that wasn’t the case. Most of his damage came when the game was well out of reach. And for an offense that was supposed to get better in Marc Trestman’s second year as head coach, this unit continues to disappoint.
Prior the beginning of the season, Brandon Marshall exuded confidence in Cutler, stating that his quarterback was capable of winning the MVP award if he could stay healthy. I think it’s safe to say that this assessment was inaccurate to say the least.
