Jay Cutler is, well, Jay Cutler.

I understand it is his contract year, but he knew he was hurt and he put his team in a very tough predicament on Sunday.

With a Josh McCown playing, the Bears could be 6-3 and atop the NFC North. Instead, they will be in a dogfight for the last playoff spot more than likely going forward.

Marc Trestman’s season may be defined by his decision not to pull Cutler earlier.

Next up, a Ravens’ team desperate to stay in the playoff chase.
