    That's what I'm hoping for. Lovie did clearly state that they expect him to be back sometime during the regular season. If he could get back for the last 2 games against GB and the Vikings, that would be great.

    Yeah, thats what I was thinking too. But what if they are still undefeated? McCarthy seems like the type of coach that would keep playing his guys...

    he very well could be that type. however, even if they bench their guys, they still have enough depth to win. matt flynn is a pretty good backup.

    I dont know if it was a vanilla game plan. Lovie played the starters the entire game...I was shocked by that.

    Caldwell is an idiot. How has he not been fired yet? They should just let Manning coach the team at this point...it's obvious Caldwell does nothing for that team.

    No way. While an undefeated season would be cool, McCarthy is definitely not stupid enough to chase that. The final goal is to win the Superbowl and I have every confidence that if they've locked it in, the Packers will play backups against the Bears on Christmas. Maybe keep the starters in for the first quarter, see where it goes. I hope they don't underestimate the Bears, because like David said my one fear is that we get a reverse of what happened last year...which of course all of you would just love!

    Does anyne think Caleb Hanie would be here for 4 years if he couldn't play??? Caleb Hanie is a good quaterback and he has this entire teams support and he should have yours too......everyone is talking and whispering about this and that....Jay will be back when he is healthy and will pick up where he left off.....Caleb has all the skills and talent to execute our offense and I think he's gonna surprise some folks....but let them keep talking...doubting.....thats how we like it

    i agree with Hester.

    i'm not saying Caleb is the second coming, but he is the next in line and has been around. bring in anouther guy to be the emergency, but don't bring in a Todd Collins sort of guy and plug him into the backup role.

    I was just going to post something about the Orton situation. Apparently he has said that he'd like to go back to the Bears.
    The Denver Post reported that Orton and his agent approached team officials about the move after learning about Cutler's injury and let it be known that the Bears were a team he'd like to play for.

    Whether he knows the system or not, he's a smart dude. He can pick up enough of it to get the job done in the event that Hanie can't.

    Bears are actively shopping for a QB.

    would you rather have somebody that has been sitting at home for the last 3.5 months or somebody that is in football shape?

    assuming Caleb is the starter for the rest of the season, i'd feel a lot more comfotable with Kyle as the back up vs some of the other names being tossed around (bulger, green, favre). worked out great last year when they dusted off a journey man that had been sitting out for months with basically no football activity.

    Orton is not the worst option, but the guy is truly nothing more than a career backup. I say, see how we do with Hanie at the helm, if he gets into trouble, Orton will still be available. He's sure as shit not going anywhere else.
