...sure it's only one game, but Jay Cutler looked like a deer in headlights against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. Green Bay's speed and swarming defensive mentality seem to baffle, frustrate, and discombobulate Cutler, as he tossed one pick after another, after another, after another.
As Jay whined to the referees and showed up his teammates throughout the disaster, I couldn't help but think...
Missing Brandon Marshall, Mr. Cutler?
How about Eddie Royal?
Brandon Stokley (the man of the hour)?
Tony Scheffler?
Yup, that's how bad Cutler looked against the Packers. I felt the need to ask him if he missed Tony Scheffler. If that's not rock bottom as far as Week 1 goes, I don't know what is.
McDaniels, on the other hand, lucked out and picked up his first victory as a head coach in the National Football League. Kyle Orton's stats didn't look terrible after it was all said and done, but those final numbers AND Denver's win can be chalked up to one extremely fortunate turn of events.
By now you've all seen the highlights...there's the tipped pass, and there it goes into Stokley's hands, and there he goes to paydirt. And there go the Bengals' fans -- to the bar, to drink away their sorrows of course.
Sucks to be a Bengals' fan in Week 1. But hey, I'm a Jets fan, and I'm ridin' high. The same can be said of Mr. McDaniels right now.

For a coach that supposedly had no luck, with the way his offseason went, yesterday was pretty good for him.
A win is a win, but damn did the Broncos get lucky.

It's better to be lucky than good, as they say...though I'm not necessarily sure I agree lol

I'll take it anyday. Even without the fluke play, he did what we expect of him. It will be up to Marshall, Royal, and Moreno to win games from now on.
As for Cutler, he will bounce back, that is what he does.

It's much easier to "bounce back" when you have weapons like Marshall, Royal, and Stokley; can't say the same about Cutler's situation in Chicago.

Yeah but i saw 1 min of Kyle Orton sucking. He threw an int to a cincy cb but he was out of bonds.
You can all ways throw it to Brandon Marshall.
