2013 NFC North/NFL Thread

Hearing possible broken collarbone.

I would be surprised by this because of how comfortably he was running off the field.  However, the fact that it is his non-throwing shoulder and he is ruled out for the game, it is likely something serious like a broken collarbone.

matt flynn was just released.  signing him is a no brainer in my opinion.

[DegenerateDish]

Impressed by Pack special teams tonight, keeping them in this game.

Also heard Cutler went to Europe during Bears bye week for treatment on his groin. Fire away on the jokes.

[4everwarriors]

Coulda just gone to On The Border.

Get some duct tape on Rodgers shoulder and toss him back in. Wallace sucks ass.

Agreed.  Unless Matt Flynn (or Vince Young, or Brett Favre) are already off of the plane, throw Jordy in at QB.  We'd have a better chance with him running the show.

Mike McCarthy absolutely baffles me.  Of all of the insanely poor challenges McCarthy makes, he leaves the first down catch be after having PLENTY of time to have somebody in his ear, AS WELL AS SEE IT HIMSELF ON THE VIDEO BOARD.  And needless to say he has 3 timeouts in his pocket at halftime.  Not only does it take at least 3 points away from the Packers, but it also allows the Bears time for their drive to put 3 points on the board. Week in and week out he gives teams points. Unacceptable.

Tolzien could be the man next game.

I was thinking the same thing.  You're not saving a TO there, you likely aren't going to get a chance to use it.  Saving for 2 challenges in the 2nd half also doesn't make sense. 

McCarthy is awful at challenges.

I could tell you epic stories from the last 15+ years in my involvement in pro sports.

Yes, it goes on.  Lots of stuff goes on, not just hazing. 

Are you saying that murder threats and threatening a player's family goes on? Just everyday stuff?

Thanks buddy.

Thanks buddy.

Yeah, that's what caused it   

[brandx]

Maybe the problem is the defense giving up almost 300 yards in one half against a backup QB.

[wadesworld]

Yeah, that's what caused it   

Well, Rodgers has missed 1 game in his starting career.  Now it looks like he may miss the rest of the season the week that some guy decides to write a ridiculous article about how we could win without the best quarterback in the league.  Seneca Wallace is not winning any football games.

Dish - do you know anything about mike Wilson? He heckles the bears whenever they make a few bad plays abd compares them to the prior coaches. Never says a peep when they're doing well. Was he really close to lovie?

Broken Collarbone.

[forgetful]

Broken Collarbone.

If it was a broken collarbone, I would be surprised if they let him back out on the field without a sling even.

It's being reported already.

Someone get Rodgers a headset and clipboard. McCarthy needs a lot of help here.

[MUeng]

any source for that collarbone report?

[4everwarriors]

Vince Young musta really blown.

[ChicosBailBonds]

How can the Bears not put 9 guys in the box and beg Wallace to beat them?  Makes no sense.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Are you saying that murder threats and threatening a player's family goes on? Just everyday stuff?

There are guys that have gotten away with murder...LITERALLY.   

I don't think Incognito saying he was going to kill him was literally meant in that way.  Have you ever said yourself "I'm going to kill <insert>"

He'll be released from the team shortly, but I think saying he threatened to murder someone is playing fast and loose with intent and reality.  IMO.

any source for that collarbone report?

Sure. Any sideline reporter at the game on Twitter.

Or.

Someone in Bears front office texted me that info a while ago as well.

Could be right, but I know when I broke my collarbone I was in a sling immediately.  I wonder why he isn't in one.
