Tribune is reporting it is a knee sprain. Bears will know more in another day or two. My personal feeling is he doesn't miss anymore than a week. I wouldn't even be shocked if he could play as early as next week. Sounds like there isn't any ligament damage but until they do the full medical exam after swelling goes down you just never know.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...for-matt-forte/ MRI confirms knee sprain for Matt Forte Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on December 5, 2011, 11:15 AM EST AP An MRI confirmed Monday that Bears running back Matt Forte isn’t out for the season. He will be out at least a few weeks, and it’s worth wondering where the Bears will stand in the playoff race when Forte is able to play again. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Forte has a grade 2 MCL sprain. There was no damage to his ACL. He could be out anywhere from 2-6 weeks according to ESPN’s Trey Wingo. Forte has to be breathing a sigh of relief. We wouldn’t blame him one bit if he didn…

This evening, 8pm CST, on this thread I will be posting a link to a live Tiny Chat along with a password for a LIVE Discussion about the situation of or Beloved Bears Team. If you've never done Tiny chat before, it is a live Video Chat Room. You can get on Cam and say what you want, or you can just turn on a microphone and talk to us like that. If you don't feel that you want to participate like that, you can still join us and just type in the chat box. Yes our season is getting frustrating, when you lose 2 very winnable games that would have kept us far in the lead for our #1 Wildcard position, it sucks! But I'm sure we will all agree that is going to fade away …

It doesn't really matter. There are two outstanding teams in the NFC and the rest are crap. Good teams find ways to win. Great teams win. So what if we barely make it to the playoffs. It will be a quick exit if we are not kicking it on all cylinders. We are not. Cutler hurt was devasting to our chances to make it far. We have old guys on defense that can still bring it. But watching them yesterday it was clear that they are looking at Hanie and saying.. We are screwed. There are no gimmie games in the NFL. The deflated crowd yesterday after every 3 and out was tough to see. I was even in shock going. damn we need some kind of spark. I didn't even yell at my tv. I layed…

Here's my video talking about where I point my finger at and who I think deserves all the blame. I'm almost always the positive fan when it comes down to situations like this, but even I don't think we'll win another game with Hanie under Center. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY4H73eIGRc Tell me what you think?

http://www.theredzone.org/BlogDescription/...sh/Default.aspx Passengers say Suh lied about Portland crash Dec 5 12/5/2011 7:39:52 PM | More Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh lied to police about his crash in downtown Portland, according to two passengers in the car who spoke to KGW TV in Portland. Just after the crash on Saturday morning, Suh was interviewed by police and said that he was trying to pass a taxicab when he lost control of the 1970 Chevrolet Coupe and crashed into a tree, according to the original police report. He also said that no one was injured. No citations were issued. Two of the people who were passengers in the car…

How the hell is this clown still on the team? Has he even caught as many passes as he has dropped? They cut Chris Harris and he did a hell of alot less to cost the team a win. Geez, he may even be worse then M Muhammad was. I'm just saying

I did a little digging and started compiling some stats on JA's draft picks and came up with some pretty telling numbers. 83 total picks out 10 drafts. 12 of the picks considered reaches at the time they were selected with a consensus of scouts and fans. 15% 13 of the picks had an injury history or character issues when the Bears selected them. 17% 58 of the 83 picks are no longer with the team. 70% That is the most telling stat that points to poor drafting. With 3 on IR and 1 on the PS,that leaves 21 of JA's 83 picks currently still with the team. 25% I'm a lot more disturbed after looking at all of these numbers and realize why this …

I know it would never happen (for various reasons), but would anyone on this board be entirely upset with the concept of drafting just three areas of need this upcoming offseason? 1. OL 2. WR 3. OL 4. FS 5. WR 6. OL 7. FS That would be a wonky looking draft, but if you told me that's how it played out I wouldn't be unhappy. I could also see a nothing but OL, WR, and QB draft.

1. Justin Blackmon*, Oklahoma State WR (6-1, 215): The most explosive receiver in college football has a game that is eerily similar to Terrell Owens'. His combination of size, strength and athleticism overwhelms defenders, and his penchant for playmaking makes him a potential anchor for a sophisticated passing game. Throw in the fact that Oklahoma State's coaches frequently have suggested Blackmon's skills are more advanced than Dez Bryant's at a similar stage, it's easy to place Blackmon at the top of the list. 2. Michael Floyd, Notre Dame, WR (6-3, 224): Floyd might rank as the best pass catcher in college football since Larry Fitzgerald. He displays unbelievable …

Cutty Come Back Pretty hilarious parody.

First , I like to say kudos to Lemonej and LT2 3 for your damn good points of views on Angelo stats etc. I still think we can make the playoffs and do well with the help of a healthy forte at seasons end and Jay hopefully back for the playoffs (koolaid). But after this season what is the plan for next season and there after ? Let's start with the Angelo rumors of retiring which I think are not true. He is still signed for a couple more years I think . If he does retire I believe buddy Ruskell takes over. Will there be a new direction or steady the course ? Is martz going to re-up with us ? If he does decide to leave do we replace him with Tice or …
