Am I the only one who noticed the TE wide open in the middle of the field? Cutler just needed to get it over the line. Just saying because I see people saying nobody was open and he needed to throw it away. His first read towards the flat was covered. He then saw #87 (idk who that is) over the middle and the ball was flat and got tipped. Cutler just needed to release it higher or get more air under it.
Yeah right, it was not the bad play call everyone thinks. The play was there. BUT, you're right, Jay throwing the ball too high would ONLY be a throw away at worst, like some are saying. I think Jay is learning to throw it away more, but it will still take some time. Certainly, on 1st and goal at the 1, I'd like to see error on the high side, but still, no tip and we'd all be singing a different tune!
I do think that this is a good lesson for Tress as well. He is bringing a nice pass offense to the Bears!!! BUT, he also needs to remember that it was a 1st and 1, for the Monsters of the Midway, and sometimes it is good to run the ball right at the fuckers! Good learning play for both Jay and Tress, imo, but not the dumb play everyone making it out to be.
