Supposedly out 3 to 4 months. He just can't get a break.

Thanks for beating me to the punch, Whenever a coming opponent has an injury, I feel ghoulish posting it here.

Still, hurrah for week one!

SeasonTicketHolder · 08-12-2005, 11:45 PM

Haha, yeah this definitely looks good for us. I'm still worried something will happen to us though.

Gmanc711 · 08-12-2005, 11:46 PM

Who's gonna QB for them now? Huchinson or Orton?

SeasonTicketHolder · 08-12-2005, 11:47 PM

I'm pretty sure Hutchinson's next on the depth chart, but I wouldn't be surprised if Orton takes it. He looked real good against the Dolphins.

JWsleep · 08-12-2005, 11:49 PM

Wow. THat guy is snake-bit. Apparently their rookie backups look good, but that's a tough blow to any team, to lose your starting QB.

ANd the backup has less than a month to prepare for a Greg Williams defense... welcome to the NFL.

monk81 · 08-13-2005, 12:08 AM

poor guy.....here's an idea.....why don't we help them out by giving them Brunell

That Guy · 08-13-2005, 12:10 AM

wow, they're back into last year and the world's crappiest QB merry-go-round (well, cards, 49ers, and fins had similar problems). Moose has made the backups look better, back even if our O gets off to a slow start we should still be able to take them.... SHOULD.

If we dont take the friggin Bears, I shutter to imagine how horrid of a season we will have.

FRPLG · 08-13-2005, 12:51 AM

Testaverde I'd bet. He's better than what they have. They last thing they need is to play "no game" Hutchinson or "Baby face" Orton. Orton ought to be the backup while Testaverde takes the reigns for 6 or 7 games then work Orton in. Give your team a chance that way. Man this guy and team can't catch a break though.

BigSKINBauer · 08-13-2005, 01:01 AM

wow, i was just making fun of this guy about 2 and a half hours ago with some of my friends. o-well, we were talking about how chicago didn't have a good QB, well now i think that is a reality

well they do have an above average Defense. On our Defense we should destroy them but not the easiest D to play in the first week.

I to hope that we beat them though and if we do lose it will be because our offense doesn't score more than 6 points and yes if that does happen we will have a horrible season

He apparently has no problem getting a break...just the wrong kind. Wouldn't be surprised if they bring in Kordell Stewart or Jeff Blake

i wouldn't expect anyone who they signed to learn the offense that quickly. looks like our defense is gonna get a break at the opener.
