any reason
the lead Sun-Times story was left off?
http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/bears/1892857,CST-SPT-bear19.article
In a sign of how difficult things have become in the Bears’ world, the beleaguered team stunned a network giant Wednesday by rejecting NBC’s request for prime-time access to coach Lovie Smith, quarterback Jay Cutler and general manager Jerry Angelo.

Yes
Two reasons:
1) Sun-Times articles for the next day are published past the time that I last check for Den articles.
2) I’m devoting a post to that later today.

No worries at all
I’m actually glad – that way people will read the article and understand it prior to my points about it.

Some telling stats from Larry
Company line toe-r or not, Larry frequently has good stas.
Look at this:
While the Bears are 0-3 when quarterback Jay Cutler passes for at least 300 yards this season, they’ve rushed for average of 112.5 yards in their four wins and just 63.4 yards in their five losses.
and
After scoring eight touchdowns on 11 trips inside-the-20 (72.7 percent) with two turnovers during a three-game winning streak, the Bears have mustered just five TDs on 16 red-zone possessions (31.3 percent) with four turnovers in losing four of their last five games.

If we could manage to play the Lions and Browns every week,
those “rushing yards per win” would always look good.
But, when our OL is worse than most DLs we face, we have problems.
Rushing yards for Forte this year:
@GB: 55
vs Pitt: 29
@ Sea: 66
@ATL: 23
@ Cin: 24
vs Ari: 33
@SF: 41
Doesn’t matter the W/L records associated with these games. The only two games I’ve left out were the Lions and Browns. Fact is, whether we win or lose, our OL still sucks.
You are all gentlemen (and ladies) and good judges of cheap whiskey.

Cutler makes a "big pitch" for Aromashodu?
Yep, I heard he busted out a whole power point presentation and everything…brought in a team of Japanese businessmen, used colored charts and pie graphs, brought in character witnesses, the whole bit…
;-)

I certainly hope so.
Cutler is working to reduce interceptions in the red zone.
If he’s not we have some serious football problems.
