Everyone’s given their opinion on Bears quarterback Jay Cutler after he left the NFC Championship game with a knee injury, from former and current NFL players to Charles Freakin’ Barkley (who has some really good points). It’s Wednesday now, and you’d think it would subside by now, but since there’s no football this Sunday (the Pro Bowl doesn’t count), we’ve still got some more hits to take out on this dying horse! Sean Payton, coach of the New Orleans Saints? Take it away!

1-3 last week. Crap.
Steelers over Jets
Right now, I want nothing more than New York to lose. Also, the Jets seem to have calmed down, and it’s pretty hard to carry over being fully pissed off for being disrespected for two straight weeks. Even though they won’t admit it, they’re settling, and the Steelers can definitely take advantage of that. Seriously, the greatest part about this game is that one of these two teams will not make it to the Super Bowl, and I can yell at their fans on Twitter.
Packers over Bears
Both quarterbacks have offensive lines that hate them, but Rodgers can scramble much better and make a play go from doomed to “holy shit 15-yard-gain” often. I honestly thought Green Bay would be gone by now, but they’re resilient as hell, even though they’re battered with injuries (then again, what team isn’t?). Both of the conference championship games are matchups that could really go either way, but I’m going to grab my cojones and say there will be a Pittsburgh-Green Bay Super Bowl (and probably be wrong, but fuck it).

Of course you do. Looks painful, though. In this week of so many complaints about helmet-to-helmet hits and the concussions they cause, I thought it’d be good if we all just sat back and watched a relatively clean hit that didn’t involve anyone hitting anyone straight in the face.
Jon Ryan of the Seahawks wasn’t even really close to tackling Devin Hester on his punt return for a touchdown, but Earl Bennett of the Bears made sure he had absolutely no chance anyway. You don’t really see many kickers/punters get leveled on a return. I just wish it was Jeff Reed instead.
James Harrison thinks Bennett could have hit him harder and WOKE HIM UP WOOOOO

By now you must have heard at least a quick mention of Chicago Bears defensive end Gaines Adams, and his untimely death from cardiac arrest at the age of 26. It’s an incredibly sad story, like all premature deaths, but there hasn’t been a lot of news on Adams himself, who had only been in the league for a few seasons and was not famous or infamous for his skill or outside life, besides admitting that he used marijuana the year he entered the NFL Draft. The fact that there isn’t a lot to write about him shows how young he was and how much of his career can never be played. There’s another part of this situation that I want to talk about too, however.

Alright, I don’t know how I’m going to do these for the year, but I have a love/hate relationship with Thursday games. I love another day of football, but I hate how they fuck up my picks schedule. I’m just going to do a quick Awkward Thursday Pick every week and tally it into my picks record later on.
This week’s game is the Chicago Bears at the San Francisco 49ers. Both teams are in a funk of mediocrity right now, and need to get back on track if they want a chance at a wild card playoff spot. It’s a shame, because the 49ers looked so promising at the beginning of the year. I’m going to say San Francisco over Chicago because I believe that Mike Singletary will pump up his team, especially at home, and put them back on track to their goal at the beginning of the year: winning games and trying to get to the playoffs.

I was hunting down some kind of video of Jay Cutler shoving Clay Matthews after fucking up somehow (I forget the exact play, but if someone can find that/turn it into a gif, mad props to you), but I found video proof of Brandon Chillar, owner of a bad-ass last name, hurdling over Garrett Wolfe, trying to block Chillar, and then proceeds to take down Jay Cutler. I don’t think this play is getting nearly enough of the recognition it deserves.
This is a linebacker that we’re talking about. A roughly 245-pound man in football equipment hurdled over another man and then sacked the quarterback. That’s better than the stupid Brandon Stokley catch from this past week, because this play takes agility and strength, while that catch was pure luck and being in the right place at the right time.
I feel bad for Garrett Wolfe. Do they train backs, or linemen for that matter, what to do if the player you’re trying to block hurdles you? I guess the best advice is to try and minimize your humiliation, because there aren’t any other options.
