Injury bug has spread south, infects chicago

[red]

cutler left the game yesterday with a groin injury the could keep him out for some weeks to come

now it comes out this morning that lance briggs will miss 4-6 weeks with a shoulder injury

thats their most important offensive player and defensive player out for a bit

helps us as it levels the playing field for a bit

Peanut's missed a lot of snaps already also.

That D is going to look very different than the ones we've seen on the field against the Packers. They used to have the recipe, the ingredients, and the chef to put the clamps on Rodgers. Now, I don't know if they'll have any of those by the time they play the Packers.

Damn. Cutler's numbers in 3 games at Lambeau:

49-102, 571 yards, 2 TD's, 10 INT's, passer rating 32.4.

Bear fans already crying that the season is over and injuries have killed them. Of course, when I point out injuries have decimated the Packers for 3 of the past 4 years they say it's nothing.

I am telling you, like when Stafford went down, Shaun Hill/Josh McCown looked better than the starter.

The closest the Lions have come to a win at Lambeau in recent years was when Shaun Hill started in place of an injured Stafford. Short passing game controlled the ball and kept it away from the Packers offense.

That sucks! I have tickets to the game and was looking forward to watching him throw up a couple picks.

[Tony Oday]

The Bears Still Suck!

Stupid Cutler and his injured ovaries.

i was just watching the trestman interview on NFLN, it went like this

trestman- we can overcome the injuries, look at a team like green bay, they still win with all their injuries

media- but with all the injuries we can't win

trestman - green bays doing it

media- but we lost cutler and briggs, we can't win

trestman- green bay wins, they lost mathews, cobb, finley, etc etc etc

media- but we can't.....

trestman- green bay

media- but......

trestman- green bay

Haha, really?

It's funny, I read JSO and Packersnews and the stories are all "Packers have been hit hard by injuries but can still overcome them". Cliff Christl even busted out his playmaker theory a week ago. Then I read Chicago articles and they include injury-ravaged in every other sentence to describe the D's decline.

[Fritz]

Don't they realize losing Cutler will make them better?

It wasn't injuries they had to overcome before, it was Cutler.

Did Cliff bust out playmakers theory to predict gloom or doom considering it was Matthews, Jones and Cobb on the sideline?

Essentially he said that since the Packers still have Rodgers and CM3 is not a season ending injury they should be fine
