Whenever you do a great job and just throw something away at the end, invalidating all work you did earlier, then you pulled a cutler.
The phrase originates due to the performance of the
2009 quarterback of the Chicago Bears: Jay Cutler. He knows
how to ruin games in an epic fashion.
No
QB failures were more epic than Cutler's opening game with the Bears against longest-NFL rivalry Green Bay, where he managed to have 6 turnovers in a single game.
Others can argue how on
November 12,
2009 when Cutler threw an interception in the end zone with 2 seconds left of
play after marching the bears up the field for 70 yards, was a most epic quarterback failure. (He managed to throw 5 total interceptions this game).
Ever shoot pool clearing out every
ball only to
scratch on the 8
ball? You pulled a Cutler.
Ever been in Vegas, up 2000 dollars, only to bet it all on red and lose it all? You pulled a Cutler.
