Stop with the idiocy, seriously.

Talk football or just hate but stop pretending that this comparison makes sense.

Packers give up a ton of sacks because they go empty backfield ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

They are able/willing to sacrifice protection in order to maximize their targets, which is not a bad idea in their case because their line is pretty decent and they have a plethora of talented receivers running a proven high intensity attack that they have been in for 5 years+

The Bears have to KEEP blockers in because their linemen are completely inept. This results in less targets and makes it more difficult for Cutler to find open receivers. Even with tight ends and backs staying in, the Bears give up pressures and sacks at a record pace.

I am not just coming up with this out of whole cloth. People have crunched the numbers and done in-depth analysis on this subject for the last three years and pronounced the Bears line to consistently be one of the 2 or 3 worst in the league every season.

And that is not even getting into the rotating coordinators, rotating linemen and the HUGE difference between throwing to Finley, JEnnings, Nelson, Cobb, Driver, Jones et al in an offense you have been playing in your whole life VS throwing to Hester, Knox, Bennett, Jeffrey and the worst tight end in football in an offense that changes yearly. They just got Marshall and that paid major dividends.


You have an obsession with Cutler. That's fine. You are a Packers fan, he is an easy target, take your shots.

But this fale equivalency of the Packers o-line and the Bears is a dog that won't hunt. Stop with the nonsense.
