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).
