Playoff Train Derailed

PLAYERS: Jerry Angelo
TEAMS: Chicago Bears

I am rarely overly optimistic about the Bears. To me, that just comes with the territory when you’ve been a fan for 33 years. But today, I told one of the vendors at Soldier Field that I felt confident that they would win today. That, my friends and fellow fans, is exactly why I’m rarely overly optimistic about the Bears. All I can say about today’s game is: Matt Forte knee injury. Extreme fluke of a hail mary pass is the only touchdown Kansas City needs. Bears 0-11 on third down.

Two weeks ago the Bears were 7-3, their offense was clicking, and the top wildcard seed seemed very likely. Then our star quarterback was hurt.

Bears Signing Donovan McNabb Would Be 'Waste of Time,' Devin Hester Says

The Bears could take a look at virtually every available quarterback after Caleb Hanie led Chicago's offense to three points in a loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. Whether signing a new quarterback, even a six-time Pro Bowler and four-time NFC Champion, would make much of a difference is another matter.

I know, 26-year old Caleb Hanie has only started two games and it’s a small sample size, but the Bears are in the playoff hunt and they can’t afford to carry him at QB…especially due to Matt Forte’s injury yesterday.  Hanie has played in 4 games (2 starts) for the Bears so far this year and he has completed 29 of 60 passes (48.3%) for 387 yards with 2 TD...

Forte leaves with knee injury

Bears stunned by K.C., 10-3, also lose Forte

Via Fantasy Football Champs  |  December 04, 2011
Chicago's playoff hopes may have taken a crippling blow with a 10-3 loss to the Chiefs -- at home, no less. To make matters worse, Matt Forte had to leave with a knee injury. Forte reportedly suffered an MCL sprain, not the ACL tear that was originally feared. But we'll have to wait for confirmation. Fantasy Spin: Caleb Hanie was absolutely awful, throwing for only 133 yards...
