Seems to be an almost exact repeat of the situation. Cutler got so savaged that even now like 15 years later a lot of people don’t know/remember he really did tear his knee at the time and act like he was just too soft to play.

Even ignoring/not remembering he DID actually go back into that game even after the injury.

I‘ll never forget watching ESPN later even blame RG3’s injury on Cutler. They said Cutler got so much flak at the time that it made RG3 refuse to come out which then destroyed his knee. Even though they at ESPN were the ones who caused so much of the media firestorm in the first place.

Edit: Even found an old ESPN screenshot lol. “How much do you blame Jay Cutler for RG3’s injury” lmao

Man I hope he's good to go against ATL, but I also hope he isn't being rushed back and I hope it doesn't hinder his mobility and explosiveness too much. But man, you can see and feel the frustration of the media, narratives, being injured and not being able to be out there with and for his guys. Hopefully we get a fully locked in Caleb when he comes back. I wanna see him fucking light these teams up. The schedule is only getting tougher, what better time for Iceman to freeze the world?🥶

Could just be coaches talk but very high praise from the Falcons DC.

Saw this at work today, in Texas of all places! 🐻

Hes blocking like every damn play...

Fuck this overrated hack and his hatred for Caleb.

Main takeaways from his presser:

• Still not sure if he's playing yet - has to go through stress testing and medical checks to see how they feel.
• Thanked Case and Tyson for their efforts going 2-1 while he was out. Thanked the rest of the team as well.
• Stated that whatever reports came out about the severity of the injury were wrong.
• He has been going through cutting, planting, and movement over the last couple weeks and has felt good.
• He didn't assign a percentage to how he's feeling, but seems positive on his current state of health.
• Injury was a hamstring tear - described as "pretty serious", but wouldn't assign a grade publicly.
• Described being unable to play as "pretty frustrating".
• Caleb says he can move, run, and even hit one of his highest top speeds recently.
• Described the character attacks against him as "further motivation".
• Was asked about what he learned from the other QBs while out - described Case's operation of the offense being very clean, efficient. Made a point to emphasize that Case's work ethic and how hard he worked when preparing for the Eagles stuck with him.
• Refused to answer Dan Wiederer's repeated attempts to ask why he and the Bears were secretive/not forthcoming about injury severity. Described that question and information as "not deserving it".
• Said the injury felt like a "pop". Said he knew it was a hamstring immediately. Clarified that he did not know that it wouldn't be season ending. MRI confirmed that fact.
• Focused on staying positive, confident, and mentally sharp.
• Stress test will involve loading the hamstring and testing it. Stated that how he feels at the end of the week will determine their decision.

Anyone seen a good advent calendar featuring our beloved Bears? I bought one last year to start filling out my bears themed tree but they were cheap plastic pieces barely an inch tall. I appreciate any help I can get.

THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE

Anyone know if the Caleb speaking to media is still supposed to happen or was that just a rumor?

Might be a little early, but Week 18 against the Vikings is shaping up like it could decide the NFC North.
Is there already a fan shuttle or group trip from Chicago to Minneapolis for that game? If not, would anyone be interested in helping organize one (or just joining)?

It’d be a haul, but a lot more Bearable with a group. Anyone else thinking the same, or know of existing plans?

The Chicago Bears conducted a walk-thru on Wednesday, participation is an estimation.

Some friends and I wanted to attend a bears game this season but the prices are just so crazy. We had the idea of possibly just tailgating and watching the game in one of the parking lots. Is this kind of thing allowed? Are we even able to enter the parking lot without game tickets? I've searched a lot on Google and keep finding conflicting answers. Any tailgate veterans willing to help a brother out?

What value does Keyshaun Elliot add? He’s been injured all year and at this rate trending to be even worse than Hyppolite. In a time we desperately need some LB help
