Chicago Bears Week 15: What To Look For

How will Cutler respond to all the controversy surrounding him?

Even though a lot of his numbers show he is having one of his best statistical seasons of his career, Jay Cutler has not gotten wins, and his leadership skills have been questioned. The one stat that has killed him and the Bears is his turnover rate.

Cutler has committed some very bad turnovers at bad times. Turnovers in the red zone, both in his and the opponents, have cost the Bears many points this season.

Now with this Kromer controversy, we need to see how Cutler responds. There has been too much listless, unemotional play. After the beating he is taking from his own coach, could this light a spark in him?

The Saints have one of the worst secondary units in the NFL. Saints coach Sean Payton is shuffling the lineup. He will have cornerback Kenny Vaccaro replaced with Patrick Robinson. Vaccaro will now play just nickel situations.

The defensive line for the Saints has been struggling. Last week, they could not put any pressure on Cam Newton, and he was free to have a great game. He was named the NFC Player of the Week for his performance against the Saints.

Cutler needs to exploit this. He needs to take advantage of their struggles. Use his receivers’ height advantage and have them go after it.
