Aidan Hutchinson is out for the year with a brutal lower leg fracture, most likely of his tibia and fibula. The type of injury was an impact with a teammate's shin, which according to some websites can take as much as 6-10 months to recover from. 10 months is next August. It looked a lot like the Alex Smith injury, which basically ended his career, and he was a QB. Jorvorskie Lane had a similar injury and never played again.

Yeah, and if you only look at the last 4 games, he is top 5 in pretty much every category. In his last 4, the Bears are 3-1, he is 93-133, 70.0%, 1,050 yds, 7.9 Y/A, 9 TD, 3 INT, 110 rushing yds, 290 Total Yards per game.

Watching the Pittsburgh game is giving me anxiety lol. They are winning (15-7 lol), but it is soooo painful. Fields currently is 10-17 for 83 yards, was sacked once, threw an INT but it was called back for roughing the passer, he threw the ball backwards over the RB's head that almost led to a fumble. His scoring drives have been comical, the best one is 5 plays, 3 yards, FG. He also leads the game in rushing with 44 yards and a TD.

I will have the videos later, but the Bears (Edmunds) caused a fumble after a completion to Travis Etienne, but they overturned the play on the field as an incomplete pass. It was clear that Etienne caught it facing the QB, then turned to go forward when Edmunds punched the ball out. The call on the field was fumble and Bears recovery. Then in the ARZ/GB game, James Conner did the exact same thing, catch and turn, and they called it a fumble in GBs favor. No review. Crazy.

Fields starting his 6th game, we need 2 1/2 more for the 4th round pick.

After 6 weeks: 1. Moore - 314 2. Kmet - 289 3. Odunze - 246 4. Swift - 193 5. Allen - 122 6. Everett - 22 7. Velus - 8 8. Scott - 0

Good timing on this thread, 2 TDs, 5 receptions, 70 yards AND served as the Long Snapper.

If the season ended this week, the entire NFC North would be in the playoffs. Crazy. #1 Seed, WC1, WC2, and WC3.

Williams thru 6 games: 130-199, 65.3%, 1,317 yds, 9 TD, 5 INT, 88.7 QB Rating (on pace for 3,731 yds, 26 TD, 14 INT) 7 TD and 1 INT in last 3 games

Last 5 weeks: 21.3 > 35.1 > 38.6 > 84.0 > 88.2 This week, Caleb had a raw QBR of 93.7, which currently leads the NFL.He had the highest QBR last week too. They haven't computed his season QBR, but he had a 45.0 last week and with an 88.2, that should bump him over 50.0 for the first time this season, which would make him a top 20 QB based on QBR. - looks like it only bumped him up to 45.8. I have no clue how that game only boosted his season QBR up by 0.8.

Caleb is 1 of 1. First rookie QB in NFL History to have over 1,300 passing yards, 9 passing TDs, and 160 rushing yards thru his first 6 games. Daniels would need 5 passing TDs today to be #2.

Won by 19, but good one!

Good call Adam, 35-16 compared to your 33-19 prediction.

The defense shutting down Bigsby and Thomas was nice to see. Outside of Engram (who fumbled), they didn't do too much. Another game under 20 pts allowed is seriously crazy. The defense is underrated because no one player outside of Johnson and maybe Sweat get national praise. Full team effort, great preparation, low penalties. Awesome win and a great way to start the day/week, into a bye. Next up Washington. 4-2 into the bye. Williams figuring things out on the fly. 23-29, mostly throw aways for the incompletions and the one bad INT. He added 56 on the ground. I am going to have to look it up, but he has some historic numbers thru 6 games as a rookie. 1,319 yards, 9 TD, 5 INT and 169 rushing yards thru 6 games.

Williams could've had 6 TD passes, the INT under throw, and the Moore stop at the half yard line. Crazy.

This bodes well for the rest of the season. If the defense can have 3 starters out and still play solid, wow. The offense is unstoppable uptempo.

3 guys out in the secondary, the offense is going to need to keep scoring and burn clock.

14-3 at half. Considering how bad the first few drives were and how they got ripped off by that BS call, they should feel amazing going into the half. Williams with probably his worst throw as a pro, but shakes it off and wills the team to a TD drive to end the half. Kmet having himself a game, 2 TDs and long snapping duties. The defense, and Gordon in particular decided enough was enough and forced 3 straight punts. Bigsby held in check with only 5 rushes for 18 yards. Bears lead in yards 223 to 111. Taylor is averaging 61.5 yards per punt.

First drive. Running back to back Swift then trying to force it to Allen is so predictable. God I hate these scripted plays Screen to Moore for 2 yd loss. Can we throw the ball down the field? This is gonna be a long game.

Basically RG4

Yeah at this point the money is spent, just cut your losses and open up a roster spot for someone that can contribute.

Nate Davis a healthy scratch, Bears by 20.

Daniels has thrown the 2nd most passes behind the LOS and looks to be a single read QB where they have just cut the field in half for him (like Trubisky). That can work for a few weeks but eventually defenses adjust. Looking at his passing chart, if teams shade or overload to his right, he is going to struggle as a passer.

The weird piece is he has won 4 out of 5 Pepsi Rookie of the Week awards and has yet to throw for 300 yards. That is wild to me, especially with what Caleb did, and what Brian Thomas and Nabers have been doing. Once defenses adjust, you will see a pretty steep decline.

After SF beat SEA, the Bears are still WC2, the 6th Seed, at 3-2. If the season ended today, they would be playing the 3-seed, Atlanta.
