Bears are 1-3 lifetime against Bridgewater.

Better than playing Brees for sure though.

Tough to come back from that at 100% right away too.

A couple of fantasy sites say week 10 after their bye week.

A quick perusal of the espn article didn't mention what the injury was. From the footage I saw it looked like a broken thumb near the base. If so, that's going t present grip problems for him for a while, not easy to play through at all.

This situation is different. like the Broncos home win streak in September.
For sure, just something I wanted to look up since we aren't unfamiliar with Bridgewater.

Ligament damage.

That was 2014/2015. AKA some of the high points of the bears defense(obviously a joke). 14 we were like the worst D in the league under mel tucker, 15 Fangio took over but we still lacked talent.

Maybe bridgewater does play well against us, but I highly doubt it. I don't see many QB's playing well against this defense.

That would make it 8 weeks. It all depends on how fast his grip comes back. He isnt going to get held back just o get to a bye unless he needs it.

Roethlisburger out for the season. Hasn't he talked about retirement the past couple years?
