Yup, kinda like when Mack didn't practice at all with his bum ankle but was jumping up and down celebrating with his teammates.
Nagy would rather take a cautious approach to injury, wish the fucking morons over at the chargers(Anthony Lynn, Ken Whisenhunt) would take that same approach.

I agree. Lots of people want him to make sure he is right for the Rams game since that is a real test for the Bears but this game is much more important because it is an absolutely winnable one - and one of the few instances of that left on the Bears schedule.
The Bears cannot afford to lose this game.
You don't want to get into a situation where you have to beat the Rams to get into the playoffs.
Or give a pissed off Rodgers the chance to take out a season of frustration out on the Bears and kill their Bears playoff odds.
Or have to beat the Vikings in Minnesota in a head to head game for the division.
Win the more manageable one's (Giants and 49ers) and you are at 10 wins and only need to win one of the tougher games (Vikings, Packers, & Rams) to get to 11 wins and have this thing 99.99% sealed (unless Minnesota wins out against the Patriots, Seahawks, Dolphins, Vikings, & us)
The Giants and 49ers games are must wins

I think this game will end up similar to the bills game where it won't matter to have mitch out there for a win.
The giants line on both sides of the ball is really bad, you can't field a good football team with a bad line. If Hicks is healthy, We should be in the backfield nonstop against eli and he lacks the mobility to escape pressure. I doubt he gets enough time to be able to allow OBJ to go deep, so we will prob see a similar gameplan that the lions had last week. Barkley is about the only thing I'm scared about to sway this game towards the Giants. If the defense tackles well we should leave that stadium with a comfortable lead.

Mitch does a good job of getting down and sliding. This isn't RGIII we are talking about here.
Very few times does he take a huge hit. This injury was a cheap shot that you can't put on Mitch.
His play style is a lot like Russell Wilson's in the sense that yes he is running but he is only getting what is there and careful enough about it to the point where he's not taking many hits.

Also, in this day and age of the NFL you are at a much lesser risk to get injured running the ball. He could just as easily have gotten the shoulder bruise on a late hit in the pocket.
Him getting injured wasn't a result of him running the ball, it was the result of a cheap shot/roughing call.. Those have happened plenty of times in the pocket this season, its just unfortunate that it led to an injury this time.

I agree with you on paper but the problem with bad teams is usually the reason they are bad is not because they aren't talented but because they are inconsistent.
When coaches jobs and players jobs get on the line at the end of the year, bad teams always seem to get at least one big win that doesn't make sense.
It happens every year where some team fighting for the playoffs gets taken out by a team it looked like they would "dominate" on paper.
I would play Mitch if he can throw at all (assuming they say no long term injury risk like what happened to Luck) and go to a quick passing game to try to save him from hits, get up to a big lead early, and then sit him.
This game is too important not to.

I mentioned this possibility yesterday, but am rethinking it now.
When would you decide to bring Mitch in? If it's a close game? That wouldnt make sense, otherwise why would you start Chase in the first place?
So do you bring him in if we go down big? Would that even be worth it at that point? It would mean Mitch would have to be passing a lot trying to play catch up, with a still not 100% shoulder and with no practice. Also, the and Giants pass rush will be pinning their ears back going after him.
So i now think we ride Chase no matter what happens in this game...

Hint: If he can't throw a ball two weeks after being injured, it's not a bruise or a sprain, it's a tear.
Most Bears fans are way too overconfident about this Giants game. I'm predicting a 3-7 point loss with Daniel in there. Now it won't make a difference if Trubisky plays until the Packers game.

You bring him in if Chase plays poorly. If he replicates the Lions game you let him roll the entire time.
This is only in the case that Chase catches on fire in the first half and totally flames out.
I do not really see a scenario where we are down big, unless the entire team no shows, in which case leave Mitch on the bench.

If Nagy thinks he can beat the Giants with defense and game plan than he can make that call.
But if they lose and Mitch is a full participant on Wednesday next week then the loss is on his conservative approach. Unless Chase hangs 30 points and the defense goes full Miami.

Sending him to the podium was odd if this was the case. It was not mandatory and the reporters were going to be relentless in their questioning. Maybe this is the smokescreen we hoped for last week? Has CHAISE DANIELS been sent to the podium yet? Not sure of exactly the media obligations with the team, but something seems fishy.
Either way, we need this W.

When did the Giants get a good defense?

He might not be 100 percent the rest of the season-------and I just wished Nagy would have said not a major injury but a good chance of missing two games to be on the safe side--last Thursday Nagy said if it was a Sunday game Mitch would have played-cant have it both ways.

it is their offense that is hurting their defense and Daniel is not exactly Joe Montana-he was serviceable against the lions and played turn over free that game. I feel the more Daniel plays the more dicey it is. The Bears are not in the post season yet. If they stumble in this game all of a sudden they have a very tough game with the Rams and Mitch will have had almost 21 days off----followed by Green Bay. It is a dicey.

Don't be stupid. The longer he waits, the more it heals. He isn't throwing for a reason. It gets better if you don't use it. A mild separation is considered a 2 -3 week heal before it's structurally as good as new. After that it's working out the soreness/stiffness and getting the strength back. It won't heal if you use it. He could play with it as is but risk making it worse and we still have a long way to go. Why if it were the playoffs, he'd go anyway but also why he probably doesn't play this week. Stop being a meatball and accept that we probably have a better chance in every game that follows this one if he sits.
