Thread: We Can't Catch a Break, Cutler Has Broken Right Thumb................

You know the Lions are gonna lose on Thursday so we're a game up if we keep winning.

I think the defense, special teams and Forte can help us get to 3-1 in the AFC west games. Honestly, its a great possibility. Hanie just has to play smart. its gonna be ugly, but the Bears CAN do it.

But yeah...if hes injured and out for any length of time...we are in troubs.

I meant on the injury front. Carimi, CWill already out in the line. Bennett missing half the season. Wootton just now getting back in the lineup today and now Mannelly and Cutler. Nice win but if either is out for a while it was costly.

If Cutler is out every team will do just what Dago did today. Stuff the running game and force Hanie to win it through the air. Denver is an easy team to run on but not quite so easy to pass against so if Cutler can't play what should have been a relatively easy games gets much harder. Cutler is just staring to get into a good rythym with his guys so I hope he can play with the break.

True but this one could be tougher to suck up than any of the others. Today was pretty much all Cutler.

If he can do that, even in small doses like he did in the NFCC game, it should open up the playbook for Forte to do his thing.

Thats what im thinking. Its very possible that Hanie could help the Bears get to 2-1 over the next 3 weeks.
