CHICAGO -- Forget about the five-interception debacle in San Francisco, this was Jay Cutler's shakiest game in a Chicago Bears uniform.

"I missed some throws early," Cutler said. "I missed Greg [Olsen] and Devin [Hester] on a slant and go. It can't happen. We only get down in the red zone a few times. We got to hit them."

The numbers don't tell the whole story. Cutler was all over the place with his accuracy, which led many to wonder if the quarterback was pressing -- a reasonable theory when you consider how routine the throws should be for a player with Cutler's talent and resume.

"I think it's fair to think that I missed the throw. I'm not going to hit 100 percent of them. It's a fact," Cutler said.

No one is perfect, but these were throws that Cutler should make 100 percent of the time. Pro Bowl quarterbacks hit Olsen and Hester for easy scores, and Cutler made the Pro Bowl in 2008.

Even Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner, Cutler's biggest supporter, acknowledged how strange it was for Cutler to misfire on those routes.

"Yeah, exactly. He's going to make those throws (under normal circumstances)," Turner said. "He had a very good week (of practice)."
