Pretty much this. Plus this is what coach McFatty gets for not having a real backup who knows the system. Dude has only been here two months and takes like five fucking snaps per week. I am amazed we did not have any center fumble exchanges. I bet Flynn is back in Green Bay before the week's end. But mainly, fuck McCarthy. Years of Old Number 4 spoiled him into thinking he would never need a QB, despite Rodgers being known for having somewhat of a glass jaw as a Cal Bear and the obvious fact that there is a ridiculously high attrition rate on starting QBs in pass happy offenses.
Bears certainly took full advantage of the situation, though, so hats off to them. The only thing better than the Rodgers injury for the Bears was the Cutler injury, since McCown is a much more consistent QB than Pouty McSeatbelt. Their special teams are really awful, though. The only way I would be concerned about the Lions is if the Cutler is starting, since he is scared shitless of Su. If McCown starts that game, the Bears win, mostly because the Lions are rivaled only by the Cowboys in their ability to shoot themselves in the foot and without Cutler under center the Bears will have the good sense not to get in the way of them doing that.
I still think the Packers are the team to beat in the NFC North, though. Our remaining schedule is soft as fuck and McFatty will be forced to five Wallace (or Flynn) full reps for the foreseeable future. Also, we will be getting nearly all of our main starters back, other than Rodgers, in the next couple weeks which will help, especially on Defense. Well, except Finley, but we are better off with old alligator arms riding the pine, anyhow. We won't do shit once we hit the playoffs, though, but having Rodgers in would not have let us run much deeper in my opinion anyhow, given the likely competition.
