This is quite possibly the best article I've read in a while. It's eloquent and makes excellent points....make sure you read this article.
An excerpt:
Unbelieveably, after a come from behind win, critics are STILL taking swipes at Cutler. The latest out of the golden tower on the North side has a bitter reporter giving the entire team grief for sticking up for their embattled QB thru a difficult week of game prep. "OK, we get it. The Packers game never happened, comrades." writes Rick Morrisey, criticizing statements made by Greg Olsen regarding the play of teammate Cutler last week. What happened to objectivity? What happened to report what you see? Where is the story in a player's demeanor following a loss?

You weren't kidding Chifan
A player scratches his back during a post-game interview- that player is arrogant and doesn’t respect the media.
In my culture, these are fightin’ words!
Great analysis of how bad and misdirected our sports media has become. Get back to what really matters the most- the players, coaches, and clutch plays.

Sick of it
How little credit cutler is getting from media for the last game. Knox was good because of cutler.
Wait
do people really think that Johnny Knox was the reason Johnny Knox did good on Sunday?

You've got to be kidding!
Jay had a great game but I don’t remember any of the throws to Knox that were completed solely because of Cutler. In fact, the kid made some great catches and adjustments throughout the entire game that actually helped his QB. The TD to Kellen Davis was definitely a throw that few QB’s could have or would have made, but the TD to Knox was a slant where the receiver beat the corner to the inside and positioned his body to shut out any chance of the defender knocking it away without a penalty. The throw was on the money but most of the QB’s in the league, including Orton, could make it most of the time.
Let’s give credit where credit is due.
Damn this kid can move
Knox is fast — he unofficially clocked a 4.26-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine

that playerpress post
is 100 percent on the money. good find definitely.
i rarely ever wish ill will on someone but if that morrissey guy were to find himself the victim of a violent, extremely painful crime or a paralyzing car accident i would be happy to send him a congratulations card from the local cvs.
on the flip side i am increasingly amused by rosenbloom. used to think he was the trib’s cliff notes version of ol d-bag mariotti but i have warmed up to his scribblings. lol at the mancrush comment, i think a lot of us feel somewhat the same way. uh, perhaps that didn’t come out right haha.
the wifey also thought hunter was great on sunday but it had little to do with his play on the field. i thought he did just fine.
More like a freak
Finger removing chainsaw incident… and possibly an untimely removal of his tongue as well

Question:
Did Vasher play at all, Sunday? I didn’t notice him. I’m not trying to bash on him; just curious if he is in a mini-rotation or playing in the nickle package. As I said in previous comments, I think the young DBs and WRs will continue to improve with experience. Obviously, Kellen will also improve. With our young LBs playing, as well, this team could be a beast the next couple of years!
Getcha Beernuts Ready!
on NFL.com
they only have him for G/GS at 1, and no recorded stats for Steelers game, doesnt look like it

Barring major injuries to Tillman or Bowman - I think we've seen the last of Vasher
But (unfortunately) with Bowman’s injury history, it is a real possibility that “the interceptor” will return some time this year.
Fingers crossed

Hopefully Graham would be ready if the unfortunate did occur.
I’m still a little shocked that Vasher was in week 1 over Graham…
Lovie
must have seen something he doesn’t like about Graham’s game.

maybe he's
just completely overshadowed by the frustration at FS that he forgot about Corey

Backup plan?
Maybe he’s keeping him there just in case Manning and Payne don’t play well.
"Repetition is only good when you've been winning." - Valet
I'm baffled.
Vasher has shown over and over again, that he is out matched against whomever is across the line of scrimmage from him.
Graham has shown the capability to play the position and play it pretty well… We’ve got Alfalava and Payne starting, with Manning, Bullocks and Steltz for depth. If Steltz or Bullocks aren’t capable, than they shouldn’t have made the team.
I’m not the coach, meaning I don’t know see what Lovie sees… but from the outside looking in, sure seems to me that Graham should be ahead of Vasher.
I am too
Not sure if he’s in the doghouse then. As far as Vasher goes, I believe Lovie wanted to give him one game to see if he could return to former glory.
"Repetition is only good when you've been winning." - Valet
I hope you're right
about Lovie and Vasher…
Having Bowman on the field is starting to pay off..
Big Ben only went to his side of the field 4 times on Sunday. Once Tillman gets his legs under him we should see some more coverage sacks..
I'm kinda wondering
If they went to Tillman because of his injury or just because Holmes is one of BBs usual targets, rather than lockdown coverage by Bowman
