Trestman put the Bears playoff hopes in jeopardy

trestman cutler mccownLast Sunday the Bears head coach Marc Trestman may have put their playoff chances in jeopardy by playing Jay Cutler after he suffered a high ankle sprain. During the 2nd half of the Lions game he could barely spin the ball, as he short hopped a few throws and we all know that’s not Jay Cutler. The Bears lost the game 19-21, in the NFL all games are important. McCown was able to able aid the comeback.

Cutler had a groin tear that was suppose to keep him out 4 weeks but he came back after missing only 3 weeks, 2 games played. For the people that question Cutler’s heart (points to oneself) he played the entire 2nd half with a high ankle sprain. Cutler can’t get a clean bill of health this year, which is sad because it’s his contract year.

I don’t know if the groin injury caused anything to happen to his ankle probably not but with how good McCown has been playing when he hurt his ankle Trestman should’ve pulled his star QB so he was out of harm’s way. Who knows if he hurt his ankle more by playing? What we do know is Cutler is out for this week’s game versus the Ravens. With Cut dog out means the Bears could be in trouble for a post season berth for the 2nd year in a row.

Trestman pulled a Shanahan on a smaller scale see RGIII. Can McCown, a career journeymen continue his hot play or will the loss of Cutler be the doom of the Bears this year? If Trestman is without Cutler for too long he can only blame himself.

Bears fans how much do you trust McCown? With 7 games left he may be the pilot for the majority of them. Think about that a second!!!
