bschmaranz Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 when did it happen,on the attempted tackle. Looks like in the INT he threw: BradBiggs Brad Biggs #Bears QB Jay Cutler suffered broken right thumb at end of his interception when he was blocked to ground by #Chargers LB Donald Butler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 That's bull shit reporting on Jensen. He played in the damn game after the apparent injury. He's going to play and he will be fine.. All that guy does is seek attention. It also should be worth mentioning that Ben Roethlisberger has played with a broken thumb on his throwing hand and it hasn't affected his play at all this season.

Why don't we wait to see what happens. If they need to rest him for a few games, I can still see us winning 2 of the next 3 with Hanie at QB.

Bears4Ever_34 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I just refuse to believe a broken thumb is going to cost him the season. That seems extremely excessive. I think all these reporters are just trying to seek attention when nothing has officially been reported yet by the Bears. If Cutler is out for the year, our season is over.

Alaskan Grizzly Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 As is customary, the extreme worst is assumed. Not just in the status of Cutler himself or his ability to play but also that "the season will be lost" if he is unable. A microcosm of that scenario played itself out last year in the NFC Championship game and Hanie played admirably. I side with Connor in why not wait and see what becomes of it? Didn't Cutler still throw pretty well after that INT? And continue the game? The way things are shaping up the Bears are positioning themselves to be where the Packers were last year. And with the next game against them scheduled on Christmas wouldn't it be nice to turn the tables on them for the playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 The guy completed 2 more passes after this apparent injury. How is he all of a sudden going to miss 6-8 weeks now? Cutler won't miss a single snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be easy but if we limit the mistakes we have a shot. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 These reporters are just trying to up their twitter followers. Cutler said he was fine after the game and as I mentioned already, completed two passes, and took several more snaps under center after this thumb injury. There is no doubt in my mind that he is not going to miss the rest of the season because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears4Ever_34 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 @peggykusinski we'll show the 2nd qtr play in which it looks like @JayCutler6 was hit twice on his throwing thumb -- coming up @nbcchicago sports Sunday @peggykusinski my @nbcchicago photog jeff lauksmen has a shot of Cutler in 2nd qtr, with a KNOT bulging on his throwing hand... coming up on Sports Sunday So he apparently injured it in the 2nd quarter and then wound up going on to have one of his best throwing days of the season.. But he's going to be out 6-8 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Hanie is the man. Then don't have surgery and play threw it if you can manage the pain. Your thumb is probably the least important part of being able to throw the ball accurately and his play after the injury pretty much goes along with that. I realize injuries aren't always the same but Ben Roethlisberger fractured his thumb a couple of weeks ago and hasn't missed a game yet. How bad can it be if he played 2 and a half quarters with it?

selection7 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Wow, things just got real interesting. At 7-3 with one of the NFL's easier schedules from here on out, it looked like we had a very strong chance at playoffs (almost assured). Now we'll need to fight for our lives for every win. We've got the Chiefs, the Broncos, the Seahawks, and the Vikes left...all are very beatable (plus Oakland and GB). Surely we can get 3 wins. 10 gets you in more times than not. EDIT: ...did some checking. The way the NFC has turned out this year, there are only 4 teams with any real chance of a wildcard (that is, only 4 teams that aren't winning their division have a record of better than 4-6): Lions, Bears, Falcons, & Dallas/Giants (whichever one doesn't win the division, so they only count as 1 team). We've got a 2 game tiebreaker lead over Atlanta, so I'm not worried about them. IMO, we're just battling to not barely miss the playoffs because of Detroit and Dallas/Giants . If we can beat out either one of them, we're in. EDIT2: After seeing a similar post on the official forums, I want to add that Dallas and the Giants play each other twice from here on out. If they don't split the series, that guarantees two losses for whichever team doesn't win that division. Also, Detroit has a very difficult schedule: Chargers, GB, GB again, Saints, and Oakland (they also play Minny). We got really lucky this year in terms of competition for a wildcard spot.

And it kind of explains why Cutler was throwing behind people today. There is no way Cutler is going to risk his career to play with a jacked up thumb. If he needs to get the surgery, then get the damn surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he needs to get the surgery, then get the damn surgery. How would he be risking his career? It's not a tendon or a ligament. It's not his neck. He didn't shred a muscle. The thumb isn't weight bearing. If you're going to have an injury that you can't play on, a broken bone is pretty much what you want, right? In whatever manner that thumb sets they can just always surgically rebreak it later and set it right. Another way to put it is...ever heard of someone's career ending because of a broken bone that wasn't in their spine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
