How will we ever replace his production? It's too bad we don't play the Giants this year....

Not much of a loss here, I wasn't exactly excited when they signed him anyway. But it really is making me question what the hell is it with this team and injuries (actually, I'm way beyond that).

Not really surprising. Not because of the bears injury history, but Wheaton isn't exactly durable.

Who is going to make up for his dropped pass production?

This may just be a rumor out in the schoolyard, but isn't the groin near your penis?

Wow wee, that sounds bad.

Ba da bump! :D

How will we ever replace Wheaton's 0.33 catches per game? :evilgrin:

i just assume that in the time it took me to type that post, wright was hit by a car, and then hit by another car, before being run over by a third car.

ah ... so he wasn't just standing still on his routes against the Vikings ... he was standing there jerking off

wonder what inspired him to be so aggressive he tore something? must be the color purple

after he heals he should be cut ... because he sucks and isn't even trying ... he is a prime example of the questionable acquisitions mentioned in another thread and IMO is certainly not needed by the Bears

So what are we looking at here, Wright/McBride/Gentry as our top 3? And only Bellamy as the backup?

Gross.

More like Wright/Bellamy/McBride/Gentry. Guessing they'll rotate them in and out. Look for Cohen and Miller to get more snaps at WR than Gentry because Fox/Loggains reasons.

That's easily the worst WR group in the NFL...and it is't even close.

Look at the bright side, they'd all make great practice squad players.

I'd be interested in taking another look at Victor Cruz. He wasn't good, but he wasn't that bad considering what we have.
