Stafford hit a helmet with his surgically repaired thumb

[playthrough2001]

McVay sounds a bit sheepish. Do the Bears catch a huge break in the opener?

“If Stafford misses time, the Rams won’t be OK. Expectations are sky high in L.A. because of the arrival of Stafford (or maybe because of the departure of Jared Goff). If Stafford can’t play all or most of the season, it will be harder to fulfill those expectations, especially in the most competitive division in the NFL.”

I guess McVay has been criticized because he hasn’t had his defensive players wear soft shells on their helmets in practice.

No way! He’s ready to carve teams up!

3rd teams that is!

He’s “elevating” those guys. Don’t be so dismissive!

All jokes aside, if Stafford were to miss any time, the rams may be a team that foles would like to be traded to and I think their backup is still Wofford right? So that'd be a match.

Surprised Dallas hasn't called on foles with their backup situation

As long as beating up on 3rd stringers gets Foles a job with the Cowboys or Jets.

Tough break for Stafford and the Rams.

Bortles seems like an obvious move if Stafford misses time.

The Bills about to get more from Trubs then the Bears did in 4 years.

Stafford won't miss much time

that dude is tough as fuck

Just don't give them Brock Osweiler. He has already beaten us on 3 different teams.

 

[Bearly]

I suspect he didn't break it and will be throwing again soon. Even if it's a crack, he'll be back for the Bear in 5.5 weeks. It would need to be severe, like needing surgery or cast set, to miss opening day

Not if he gets traded to the Rams. Multiple beat writer reports claiming the Bills are receiving offers for him. Could be just hyperbole, like most other rumors.

The 4 years thing fooled me. I figured this was about performance. My bad.

Yep. Trade him after the first game ?

 

[nc0gnet0]

he wont miss any time, maybe preseason, but that would be about it.
