The Bears did turn something around last weekend with a home win over the Oakland Raiders. But whether it was a turning point or simply a blip in an otherwise dire season will be a few more weeks becoming apparent.
For instance, the Jay Cutler lovers pointed to the Bears driving for Robbie Gould’s game-winning field goal in the final two seconds. The Cutler haters saw his fourth-quarter passer rating in the 40’s and third pivotal 2015 interception being rescued by a defensive stop and Gould.
Because the Bears’ season ultimately turns in very large part on whether Cutler can manage an offense with greater consistent control than he has through too much of his nine-year career.
