Bears Weekly Injury Report

As if it’s not bad enough having your Super Bowl quarterback pulled after three weeks of looking like a scared and fragile teapot in favor of a career journeyman who had one good year and has been dropped by three different teams, the Chicago Bears must also deal with rampant injuries.  Now, on top of all the injuries you’ve probably already heard about, it seems that according to Len Pasquarelli of ESPN.com, Da Bearss may have to play the pass-happy Detroit Lions without either of their starting corners. Nathan Vasher is out with hip and groin injuries from last week’s game against The Cowboys.  On the opposite site, Charles Tillman may have to sit out with a sprained right ankle.

Much as it pains me to say, it would appear that the Bears have fallen under the curse of the Super Bowl runner-up.  It seems that lately in the year following a trip to the Super Bowl, the loser always seems to tank.  While no one can explain this strange phenomenon, it would certainly be tough to argue that it hasn’t afflicted the Chiacgo Bears.  Of course, you could also argue that the Bears have signed too many aging defensive players while letting too many young players leave, that they never solved their problems at QB and now it’s come back to haunt them, and that they made the wrong decision at running back.  But a curse sounds a lot better than all that to me.
