QB Jay Cutler Takes Blame For The Bears Bad Season

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and offensive coordinator Ron Turner have taken a large share of the blame — maybe too much — for a 5-8 Bears team whose offense is 24th in total yards, 32nd in rushing yards, 16th in passing yards, 28th in interception percentage and 22nd in scoring.

Some of the criticism could just as easily be directed toward an underachieving offensive line, a youthful wide receiver corps that’s getting on-the-job training, an inconsistent defense and a weak pass rush.

“The quarterback is going to take the blame,” Cutler said. “A lot of the good ones around the league know we’re going to take the blame, and we’re going to figure it out in-house.”

If it doesn’t get figured out soon, starting with Sunday’s noon clash with the Ravens in Baltimore, heads are expected to roll at Halas Hall.

Turner, whose contract is up at the end of this season, said he isn’t worried about taking the fall for a season that started out 3-1 but has gone in the dumpster. But that may already be a foregone conclusion. The Bears have scored more than 21 points just three times in 13 games and just once in the last nine games, during which the Bears are 2-7. In their last six games, the Bears are 1-5 and have averaged just 14.7 points per game.
