Closer game than I would have wanted, after going up by 14! Glad that Cutler played so long! The Bears need to find the qb to get it done because the D is good enough!

I have a feeling that getting 15 players back from injured reserve they'll be favored to win the Super Bowl next year.
Give Rodgers a pro bowl running back, a pro-bowl talent tight end, add Nick Barnett and 3 other linebackers. Morgan Burnett and Johnny Jolly.
Some sick depth they're gonna have. Special teams should be outstanding next year. Already looking forward to it.

hahahaha!!! Cracked me up!
As for next year, IMO either Hawk or Barnett will not be back
Wow! A lot of Packer fans on here!
Well enjoy your Super Bowl this year because next year the Bears will be back!
Wow. A lot of Packer fans on here? The game has been over more than 3 hours now and mine is only the 6th reply on this thread. I wouldn't have enough time to read all the posts if the bears would have won. One thing I have always said is never be mouthy before a game and never gloat if the team you root for does win. There's always tomorrow in sports.

Cutler. He's out for the game, there's just no way he could possibly return to the NFC championship game vs his division rival. Forget guys like Jack Youngblood playing through a broken leg in the superbowl and Tim Tebow who did the same in HIGH SCHOOL. Phyliss Rivers played an entire game with what would be the worst injury cutlers MRI could possibly be, a torn ACL. Those guys are just rare exceptions when it comes to leaders in sports. If I'm a bears fan I'm hoping cutler has some competition next year because it's evident his attitude changing would be a near miracle.
HANIE! HANIE! HANIE! HANIE! HANIE! LOOK OUT CUTLER! HANIE'S COMIN' FOR YOUR JOB!!! Never seen Chicago embrace a QB like that! Crowd started Chanting "Hanie! Hanie! Hanie!" The first time he came out for a drive. Absolutely ate him up! Then Lovie Smith threw the game with a timeout. Way to lose your job lol
Congratulations Packer fans! I am not a Packer fan, just a fan of the game who hates the Bears! The guys you mentioned played the game to win and left it all on the field during a championship game. Like him or not, we could throw in Brett Favre who almost got killed on the field and still wanted to play during games this year and late last year and the numerous games that Roethlisberger has played while injured.
A few weeks ago, I was talking to a good friend of mine who is a Bears season ticket holder. I made this comparison then and I haven't seen anything to change my mind!
Jay Cutler=Jeff George
Gimmee a break....Cutler went back in and they pulled him after 2 series. It isn't about toughnes so much as it is the injury....I knew a guy once that lived his life with a bullet in him...knew a guy that had a broken leg and NEVER got it fixed and went through life like nothing happened. Toughnes...no.....It only meant the bullet AND the break weren't bad enough to stop them from everyday life....had either been bad enough they would have been "sidelined".....
Cutler could walk but anyone that isn't a bear hater and saw him try those two series could clearly see he couldn't push off...run or do whatever needed to help the Bears win. Yeah he could have stayed in and handed off to the RB's 75 times but THAT wasn't going to get the Bears anywhere.
I listen to fans that have never played the game, listened to announcers being complete jag bags and laugh before having ONE shread of evidence just what was wrong. Anyone REALLY think Jay didn't want to be out there. Mercy.
The ONLY guys opinions that matter are his Bear team mates and coaches and they ALL had Jays back saying he's a good team mate, tough as they come and a competitior.
His O line said, it was beyond obvious he couldn't go.....and again, Lovie stated the Doctors/trainers made the call. You risk further injury with the leg by taking a partial tear to a complete tear , blowing your career and trying to throw with off ONE leg is not only stoopid he could end up blowing out an arm.
Cutler doesn't miss games....played behind a susupect O line and got the shat beat out of him ALL year and got back up every time and never ONCE complained about no protection. Oh and he plays with freakin diabetes...yeah what a puss.
Pack won...they were the better team. Good game. Would have liked to see what Jay could have done the second half when the Bear D finally stepped up but it doesn't matter..you play the hand you are dealt and even with that they almost pulled it out.
Hats off to Caleb.....congrats Packers.

Bears fans, just let me tell you, I dropped a LOT of money into this game (to go), so when you think about "dang, the Bears lost..." think I'm thinking, wow, I went to see the Bears lose AND I dropped (Insert amount of money you shouldn't have spent in High School) to go to this! It eases the pain, TRUST me lol
Since that has so much to do with how the game was and if he did try to paly he could have ruined his career :roll: give me a break
Have you ever tried to do anything on a weakened knee, let alone try to play quarterback in the NFL? Your MCL is the 2nd strongest ligament you have in your knee outside of your ACL. You blow your MCL, it usually comes with a tear in the meniscus as well since the 2 are attached on the inside portion of the knee. As a quarterback/athlete, you blow your MCL you cant plant, cut to get away from defenders, or step into a throw (not that Cutler does that anyway :lol
I was one of the people that questioned him when it happened, after finding out what it was I fully understand. As a former athletic training student he did the right thing and the doctors and ATs did their jobs. You run him out there with that knee in that condition, you run the risk of him getting the "unhappy triad" which is a torn ACL, MCL, and Meniscus which takes a year and a half plus to recover from.To those talking about Rivers on a torn ACL: you have another ligament back there that helps support the knee, you have NOTHING else on the inside portion of your knee other than the MCL. Roberto Garza was born without an ACL in his left knee.... He seems to be doing fine

Elway was born without an ACL as well and he too managed things pretty well.
I'll wait and see what the MCL sprain level was (1 -3 with 3 being the most severe I believe) before I bash him further.
I just think, and Tom Jackson said this too, that if he is that hurt you need to show some priorities to him as a franchise player as well as for his own personal health. Get him some ice or crutches, but why in the world is he riding a bike? He's got torn ligaments and you have the best money can buy in terms of medical staffs. They should be plenty educated enough in terms of what the injury is and if the guy can or can't go, that's a disgrace in itself. But the Bears could have saved their star QB a lot of grief by not letting their fans seeing him walking back out on the field, trying to play and continuing to walk around on the sidelines. Not to mention there was no clear hit where he came up limping, the whole thing was a mess.
And Caleb Hanie at #3 BEHIND Todd Collins?? Jay Cutty might have had a legitimate excuse but for all the reasons just mentioned and himself not showing any emotion about it makes a compelling case for me to consider burning my Cutler jersey if I'm a Bears fan.
So inother words it was all about "perception" to you (and many others). No big hit that we saw ala Joe thiesman....no tears, no blood..no crutches....no cart carrying him off....
No emotion....he was devastated. Did you see him on the side lines ? Jay is NOT an emotional guy, he's rather quiet. He took it hard but just becuase he wasn't crying and throwing his helmet lets burn his jesey.
I don't understand how some people think...
ANd the Bears medical staff did all the correct things.....an injury like that leaves you with poor stability....straight line mvts like a bike with little weight bearing are doable...even walking...but a hard plant with cutting and turning/twisting is where your limitations are and where you risk further more devastating injury.

I know how hard it is to move around on a bad knee and will not question Cutler's toughness. My question is to the coaching staff. Why leave Cutler out to dry for 24 hours? Why not come out right after the game and say what you did yesterday. The visual of Cutler up walking around, still wearing his pads, no crutches, nothing wrapped up....I can see where Bears fans would be wondering why he isn't playing.

Well maybe someone should have talked to Drew Brees earlier this year about not playing on an mcl sprain. Brees played most of the 2010 season and a playoff game with a mcl sprain albeit the sprain was probably not as bad as Cutler's. However, Brees ran the risk of stability issues, mobility, and further damage to his knee and still went out on the field to quarterback his team. With an MCL sprain, Brees threw 33 touchdown passes and had a 90.9 quarterback ranking for the year. On the other hand, Cutler was strong enough to go out to dinner hours after his MCL sprain. To say the least, that was not a very smart move by Cutler.

Sorry Dogs, but the Bear fans are the ones complaining about their QB not playing. The fan burning a Cutler jersey wasn't a Packer fan. I believe if he was able to play he would have. No sense hurting your team by trying to play on one leg.
Just to change the subject a little-
A Packers fan working at a suburban Chicago car dealership was fired because he would not remove his Green Bay Packers tie.
http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/news/story?id=6056888
He was given 5 warnings that he would be fired if he didn't remove the tie, and he refused. The car dealership has an advertising partnership with the Bears, and the salesman says that if he had known that, he would not have worn the tie.
