2009-10 Bears Season: Utler, 'Uther 'Uckers

[powen01]

Dislocated wrist for Urlacher.

Fork, how long did it take you to recover from this injury?  I dislocated mine once too.

[Slaky]

Dislocated wrist for Urlacher.

Doesn't that usually mean out for the season?

Not always, but it's a bad injury:

I googled dislocated wrist and saw the exact same story. So I assume he's done. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this whole thing plays out.

So who's ready for hockey!?

Not me.

Bad protection, bad route running from the receivers, and Ron Turner. Guh.

This quotes is from 5 pages ago.
Still the most accurate thing written here all night.

Yeah, Utler sucked.
A lot of this game sucked. But he's hardly the biggest worry for this team.

Not me. 

Do I know what rhetorical means?

That fake punt was the worst idea since nuts and gum.

I'm a white male, age 18 to 49.  Everyone listens to me -- no matter how dumb my suggestions are

That fake punt was the worst idea since nuts and gum.

I'm sure that even Ron Zook thought that was a terrible idea.

I'm sure that even Ron Zook thought that was a terrible idea.

What?  Oh, because Ron Zook is the coach of your underachieving team.  Ah yes, there's the connection.

I want to get this post pregnant.

Surgery for Urlacher:

It looks like the fainting couches have been moved out of the thread, so on to the actual game:

- Is there a particular reason why Des Clark and Johnny Knox were continually quitting on their routes? Yes, Cutler was godawful in the first half, but he got absolutely no help from those boners. And if Knox is supposed to be FAST AS LIGHTNING, why did he get caught from behind on that deep ball?

- Either I'm a bad football fan for not knowing that Cullen Jenkins is a holy terror on the defensive line, or Frank Omiyale is much worse than I thought.

- Great game for the Prince, but did Tommie Harris make any plays last night? Not that I noticed.

- I guess it's time to find out if Jamar Williams is the man-beast that we're always told about during training camp. They got away with it for a half, but if they try to play this defense with an MLB as unathletic as Hillenmeyer, we've got problems.

- Why in the name of Huey's PANKhelmet was the bloated carcass of Nate Vasher covering one of the best receivers in football in the 4th quarter? Not as bad of a mismatch as Chris Thompson vs. Steve Smith but it's damn near close.

That game sucked mangina but I'm leaving my DOOMjorts in the drawer for now.

If Urlacher misses significant time, I'm putting on my DoomJorts and unbuttoning them so my DOOMfrontbutt can breathe. They've never played well with him out and they never will.

I think the receivers were quitting on routes, Clark especially, because they're not used to having a QB who moves around to keep plays alive. In the past once the QB was under pressure the play was essentially over.

Knox is still learning route running.

Cullen Jenkins is a pretty good lineman.

I would like to see Jamar Williams out there as well.

Ultimately, even with the mostly shitty play the Bears had a chance to win that game.
