Bear's Benson carted off field...

[Fosco33]

... after being hit by Urlacher and Brown after a catch. Apparently his left arm/shoulder were in a sling and more will be known tomorrow morning. Jones is out indefinitely with a bad hammy.

-Keep your friends close and your enemies closer-

[Homer Jay]

You beat me by a minute Fosco. That could be a big loss for the Bears.

[No Mo Moss]

Well you never like to hear that, even if it is the Bears. Although many a bear fan took a lot of pleasure from the Packers injuries last year so it's hard to pity them.

I totally agree - never a good day when someone gets injured especially if you believe in kharma.

Preseason is too long - I'm okay with the training camp schedule but there are too many games/chances to change a team dynamic through injury.

i read somewhere that the bears really respect thomas jones and are a bit annoyed by benson cos he arrogently declared hes in for a 1700 yrd season despite watching thomas carry the team last year. i heard the defense werent holding back and were going all out on the kid.

If a coach new that, he'd go crazy.

After watching a report on Benson yesterday, I was getting a little worried that he would have a break out year. Since he missed a lot of his rookie TC, he said that a lot of his plays were 'unscripted' and that he's feeling a lot more confident with a year of workouts and studying under his belt.

check this link out to read about benson and the atmosphere surrounding his injury today:

the reporter makes it sound as if the bears defense was pounding on benson to teach him a lesson, and lovie's comments gave me the impression that they had his unspoken blessing.....

Well you never like to hear that, even if it is the Bears.

I'm personally devestated by the news.

Hehe.

[No Mo Moss]

Well its hard not to second your sentiment. All the BEars fans last season didn't give a rats ass about our injuries. They still talked it up like they were laying waste to our full strength team.

[CaliforniaCheez]

Remember, there is no need to waste a first round pick on an RB.

If a team has a good O-line plenty of guys can run the ball.

Gado who was not with the team for weeks had far better stats than Benson when Benson went down with injury last year. He went on for even better stats.

Benson held out last year. For what?
Many guys who hold out seem to get injured because they are not used to contact like the guys who have reported.

The Bears are continuing the tradition of first round busts at RB.

Well we let them be that way. As Packer fans we are beter than that.

Also there's the kharma factor.

Hehe.

You bugger. LOL

I'll wonder, if Thomas Jones is feeling weird about this situatin Fosco33? I'll bet the Bears are glad they didn't trade him.

So we should all act like the Bears fans at JSO?
