No word yet on the extent of the injury. I'm sure they will MRI it. He was really coming along from what I hear (I have not seen much of his games here in the North East).
The injury occurred on a TD run. This could be bad for T Jones owners as well. That Quinn guy did not look good. Please post if you have further news.

The Bears passing game isn't going to scare anybody anymore (not that it did before , but a D had to at least respect it. Now, you can expect to see 8 and even 9 in the box at times to stop TJ. Not many other than you and Shea have any confidnece Quinn will be able to make defenses pay for that.

Whoa! This team is a 4-12 team, 5-11 maybe! There just aren't enough Ws out there that I can find. Here's their schedule:
PHI - L
WAS - W
@TB - W
SF - W
@NYG - L
@TEN - L
IND - L
@DAL - L
MIN - L
@JAX - L
HOU - W
@DET - L
GB - L
I think I was generous on a couple of these Ws, and can only find 5 wins.

Rest assured, he'll be there when you decide to grab him, cuz no one else will! C'mon! Grossman is probably not even on anyone's roster, why would Quinn all of a sudden make a solid #2?
Sorry Dog, but the Bears are done for this year. If it weren't for MIA, you'd probably be looking at a #1 pick.

From currently atop "The REAL Feed":
Grossman goes on IR; Bears add Hutchinson
The Sports Network: NFL (28.09.2004 16:17)
They claim that Hutchinson will become the immediate backup to now starter Jonathan Quinn. Hutch, I think, believe it or not, may be the better option sooner than later. He had a great couple games in NFL Europe, somewhat of a breeding ground for NFL quarterbacks, before he got injured. I believe that the reason he didn't stick in Dallas was a personality conflict with Parcells. In any event, it's worth at least noting this signing.

Vikes vs Bears is always a slugfest. Hell, 15-1 in 1998, but we still only beat the Bears by 3 in the firt meeting (beat 'em by 26 in the second meeting  ). I'm not going to knock my Vikes too much for this ugly win:
we had a rookie starting his 1st game vs Ogunleye
we lost 2 of 3 starting LBs
we lost our starting center If you know about those injuries going in, that's one thing. But to have to throw players into situations they aren't ready for is another. From middway through the 2nd qtr, we had a rookie playing the Mike, first time ever at that position in the pros! I'll take the W and allow some poorer play with those mitigating factors.

PHI - tough game very little chance to win - L
WAS - not scary at all should be a win I agreed - W
@TB - who does Tampa scare I agreed, but it's @TB, I think I'm being generous here - W
SF - horrible I agreed here too.- W
@NYG - very very average offense is starting to score points, dont think CHI will keep up, and it's on the road - L
@TEN - not the Tennesse of old but will be tough too tough - L
IND - very hard game impossible game - L
@DAL - Bill Parcells has no offense here they have a decent pass game, not great. they're D will stifle CHI though - L
MIN - should have beat them in Minn disagree, but this will be another slugfest; add homerism  = L
@JAX - no offense best D in the game right now, they only need 7 to win - L
HOU - average QB might have settled by here, so yes, I agree - W
@DET - pay back is a bitch but the Bears won't get any - L
GB - already beat them in GB havent swept Pack since 1991, wont this year - L
finding 7 wins in this bunch is not that hard.

I definitely can't find 7. I can s t r e t c h to find 6, but I'd bet it's 4 or 5.

I like this signing a lot. The Bears competed with Dallas for him and lost out. Now they have their chance!
