Greg Olsen has been a regular target of QB Jay Cutler 's of late, and that should continue in Week 11 vs. Philadelphia. Olsen met the Eagles last season and had 35 yards and a TD against them. With Cutler eying Olsen in the end zone more often than not these days, don't be surprised to see him score again on Sunday.

... Getting back to Miller, the particular play that got Miller all riled up was the missed TD on the Greg Olsen overthrow in the second quarter. First off, shouldn't Olsen have dove for the ball? Antonio Gates makes that catch. Tony Gonzalez makes that catch. As does Vernon Davis . If Olsen wants to be an elite tight end then at least give an elite effort. But it wasn't...

... out of South Bend. If the Bears do go forward with the Martz move, we know the productive Greg Olsen (6 TDs) won’t be happy. He’ll be cast aside into the same insignificant role Vernon Davis was limited to while under the exemplary tutelage of Martz last year. Of course, since parting ways, Davis has flourished, becoming one of San Fran’s biggest threats. Is Mike Martz on his way...

... explain his high interception rate). The Bears don't have very dangerous receivers (though TE Greg Olsen could scorch the Vikings), and Cutler hasn't been very accurate. The Bears struggle to run the ball: leading rusher Matt Forte has all of 3.3 yards per rush. How are the Bears scoring points? They'll have a chance if Cutler effective scrambles, if they utilize their TEs well, and...

... But last night, it was hard not to start and end with Cutler. There’s the obvious: he overthrew Greg Olsen and Devin Hester on consecutive plays in the end zone. Both were open. Hester was wide open. As Chris Collinsworth, and later Tony Dungy commented, it seemed like Cutler was trying too hard not to throw interceptions, and was letting the five picks against the 49ers affect his...

... wasn’t Cutler’s fault, a near interception earlier in the game — when he tried to gun a pass to Greg Olsen amid triple coverage in the end zone — was. Even more troublesome was that Cutler overthrew three touch passes that looked to be certain touchdowns if they were on the money. Cutler’s lack of accuracy on Sunday night, and the 12 interceptions he has thrown in prime-time games,...

... having thrown five the week before, Bears “franchise” quarterback Jay Cutler overthrew tight end Greg Olsen and wideout Devin Hester on consecutive plays to start the second quarter. Both were uncovered. He then nearly threw an interception at the end of the Bears’ next drive; Macho Harris dropped it. Finally, inside of the last minute, Cutler threw his 18th interception of the season....

... sealed the victory when linebacker Tracy White stuck a hand in front of a Jay Cutler pass to Greg Olsen and knocked it high in the air. Safety Sean Jones made a fine diving catch near midfield, with 45 seconds left.The Birds' first drive featured Michael Vick's most successful play as an Eagle, a 34-yard quarterback draw on third-and-1. That's one way to attack the short-yardage running...

... but I think the offense has to prove themselves in this game than any other unit. Jay Cutler has Greg Olsen, Matt Forte, Devin Hester, Earl Bennett, Johnny Knox, Kellen Davis and hopefully Devin Aromashodu to get the ball to. We all know how young these group of receivers are, but there other problem is they don’t have much size. This game is basically the Bears season, if they win...

“He’s a different type of receiver. He’s a different target for me.” Those are the words that Bears quarterback Jay Cutler used to describe 6′2″ wide receiver Devin Aromashodu. I simply call him the other “Devin”, because his last name is so hard to pronounce, but seriously Jay Cutler is right, Aromashodu is a different target for him. Cutler needs a big guy out their other than Greg Olsen...

In the last six games, opposing tight ends have 43 catches for 532 yards and five touchdowns vs. the Eagles. Olsen, who has 34 catches, including six TDs, is one of Jay Cutler's favorite targets. Only WR Devin Hester has had more passes thrown in his direction...
