why don't we add that Forte is bad since getting his contract? Clearly not a Top10 RB like we knew he was

He does seem to be running softer, but he also isn't be used in all aspects as he was last year.

well if the OC/OL are to blame for cutlers problems, why doesn't forte get that also? But I don't think anyone has said Forte's been great, actually there has been a lot of critism about how he's played this year via radio/news. And recently on this site people have discussed his issues.
Yet somehow Cutler is absolved....and how is it that Forte is supposed to run well when NO ONE on D is scared of the passing game, even w/Cutler/Marshal. Bears are still facing 8 men in the box more often then not. Teams are still shadowing Forte, even while bracketting Marshal.

The line has killed both Forte and Cutler, no question. But Forte has seemingly taken a step back and seems to go down easier. Cutler has defenders in his face a day which does add into his poor play. No denying that.
But both are due their fair share of criticism.

Benj, I really do think that Forte is hurt, it's not the getting taken down easier, it's just a slower in general move set he has; he never had great break away speed, but he just feels slower in how he moves.
Not an excuse, but I do hope next offseason he/Bush get fully healed and w/a new HC/OC are put in better positions to do what they do best along w/Cutler and Marshal.

Wow, something I fully agree with you on, well almost......"But both are due their fair share of criticism, as well as the rest of the team and staff."
I seen your comment about BM being the only one not to blame, spot on, even with the drops he has had.
The passion of a few, to rule the many, that's Washington D.C.. Where else was that said before, about whom?

Everyone on the team deserves some blame, even Marshall. But if there is anyone who should get off, it is Marshall as he is our offense.
