    While it definitely sucks losing Cutler for what appears to be the rest of the regular season, I don't think the season is "over". With the soft schedule (with the exception of the Packers) the rest of the season, and hopefully with some Lion's losses, I think they can still make the playoffs.
    Their best and really only option is to have Hanie step in. I wouldn't mind if they went after a veteran QB as a backup, but Hanie needs to start. If Hanie goes down, you need someone other than the rookie to fill the role.
    What worries me is if the Bears DO make the playoffs and Jay is healthy, that he'll be rusty. The Bears offense is looking really sharp right now, and I worry putting him out there after missing 6-7 games could be ugly.

    Hanie is a solid back up....one of the best in the league. He'll do good things, Forte will really need to step it up now. This will be Hanies coming out party. Expect him to sign with a different club as their starter next year. I have lots of faith in this kid.

    wow....

    i think he will be ok...not sure i am ready to call him a potential starter some place next season.

    Forte needs to get it going again. seems like he has cooled off a little bit the last couple of weeks....and it seems like it's pretty safe to assume that defenses are going to stack the line of scrimmage.

    maybe i missed it yesterday, but i don't remember seeing the left guard pull to the right play....missing Willaims is going to hurt as well.

    Caleb has got to suck it up and get the job done. End of list. I heard them of talking aboout Marc Bulger coming out of retirement since he ran the Martz offense before. But he hasn't played in two years.

    Really?
    While he did pretty well in the Championship game last year, the only other time we've seen him is in pre-season.
    Not sure I can go along with the idea of him ever being a starter based off of that.

    Oh, and I guess we can rule out Podlesh as a backup QB. :lol: That fake would have worked brilliantly, but he didn't seem to have much "touch" on that pass! :lol:

    his college stats are all that impressive either

    :?



    decent completion %, but aweful td/int ratio's.


    as long as he doesn't make bone headed throws...i think we have a chance...

    Yeah, as long as they play it safe, I think they can still make take the wildcard.

    Also, long-snapper Mannelly is out for the season. They filled the role yesterday, but I wonder if that could cause some trouble in the games to come...specifically when it comes to field goals.
    These injuries are really starting to pile up!!

    lovie just said that this is not a season ending injury and jay will be back before the end of the year.
    hanie is his qb
    they will be pursuing a vet backup bc they like having 3 qbs on the roster

    If the D keeps playing the way it is, you and I could be under center and the Bears would win.

    the Lions aren't the team the Bears need to worry about (although a Lions flameout would definitely be helpful). It's really the Falcons that could screw them. If Atlanta manages to win the NFC South, the Saints have the tiebreaker, so they could bump the Bears out of a wildcard spot.

    But I think a 10-6 record gets them into the playoffs and that's definitely attainable with Hanie as the starter.

    I'm right there with you on the rust factor, though.
