I didn't spend a lot of time crowing about Cutler's matchup this week with a poor defense because deep down, I was afraid that he would burn us all once again.

Everyone had jumped off the bandwagon and that's when Cutler plays his best ball. I thought maybe he could be a deep sleeper. Instead, he remained asleep.

Sure, it's great when someone has a Ed Dickson-like day (not that many people actually started Dickson) but there aren't many tight ends who are going to post those type of yardage totals.
