QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 03:50 AM) Isnt a torn MCL not really serious. If Im thinking of the right injury, it was what my roommate/friend had in high school football and played on and it doesnt require any kind of surgery and would only limit deep bending and is treated with a brace. Even if the MCL is completely torn I dont think thats supposed to be that bad. Granted this is just a rumor of what it may be. It's much less severe than ACL...you might be thinking of a meniscus injury.

I'll never understand why teams don't do QB sneaks from the one foot line.

Great post Steve. Outside of Urlacher getting burned by Jackson on a play, he played a fantastic game.

Wow! http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_...?urn=nfl-311321

What did Lovie say in the press conference about Cutler?

Bears now saying it was their team doctors that pulled Cutler, which goes against what every sideline reporter was saying.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 11:41 PM) Btw someone give lovie aome credit for going to caleb. Btw cutler got imjured on last series in 1st half But Collins should have never been listed as #2 qb after that Panthers game.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 11:33 PM) I'll wait for a diagnosis on Cutler's knee before passing judgement. Easy to make remarks from the couch out of anger. The ACL test is pretty easy to perform. From the sound of it, he passed the initial trainer test. He didn't seem to be limping or anything. Who knows, maybe he had a concussion and didn't want to say anything.

QUOTE (Nyx81 @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 11:26 PM) Have they stated how bad it was? He walked over to his buddy just fine. Maybe he's really hurt but I can't help but feel majorly disapointed in Cutler. I don't think Cutler has any idea about the crap he's about to catch in this city.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 12:24 AM) Exactly. Lovie knows Gould's range better than any of us. It was weird how conservative both coaches were with field goals, yet the Packers punter made it look easy to boom the ball.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 12:22 AM) You just know there will be idiots advocating Hanie over Cutler. The only thing this game proved was that Hanie is the real backup caliber QB. Not Todd Collins. Well said! Huge mistake by Bears putting Collins 2nd on the depth chart. There's also a part of me that wonders if Cutler was injured coming into the game. He seemed just a step slow all game, and not comfortable at all pushing off his back foot. Even the announcers were saying he looked off during warm-ups.

This isn't college....plays like that with Bennett just don't work, especially against such a fast defense.

Peppers getting more TV time than he did during the entire game now.

Knox got tackled on that last play...probably would have been called on Tim Jennings.

Wow, Martz deserves to be blasted for that terrible play with our slowest skilled position player. Nice try Hanie, you showed more balls than Jay Quitter could ever dream of.

Whatever you do, don't do a HB dive. Either a QB sneak or a bootleg.

These refs are an absolute joke. Bears have not gotten benefit of a single freaking call.

Their punter is the MVP of this game.

Our receivers did a great job that drive of going up to catch the ball.

Raji's not The Freezer....more like the Coke Machine.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 11:53 PM) Cutler, you better have surgery on that knee you asshole Screw that, anything less than an amputation, and he's going to get run out of town.

I feel like if Bears can take a shot down field, they can get a PI call from these refs.

Wow, what a terrible playcall by Packers.

Nice punt...you suck!

And Shields with contact to Hanie's helmet?
