Uh, yeah, that's weird. Radio was saying until just a couple of minutes ago that MacMahon claimed this morning he was playing.

So the Bears will now run straight at Victor Butler, who has shown to be very weak against the run.

Perfect.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Well now we will actually get to see life without Spencer, should be interesting to see Butler and perhaps maybe Wilber active if healthy.

Should be a good test to see if we can in fact let him walk after the season without a high pick to replace him.

And the Bears are strong at running the ball? If so they haven't shown it so far this season.

I know I'm just talking but what if they switched to a 4-3 on run downs? Might help

 

[JackWagon]

Definately play your Bears RB is you have one on your fantasy team.

 

[Gaede]

Don't like that.

Didn't even know he was injured

 

[spook930]

Man I think we will still be able to contain the run with Bruce and Sean flying to the ball....

 

[DavidAK]

Isn't Forte injured or comming off an injury?

They use Under and Over alignments to get the same effect in a 3-4.

Spencer not playing? Is there an undisclosed injury? A trade in the works? ***?

 

[ufcrules1]

Forte is a game time decision. Knowing how tough that dude is, he will play and be tough to stop.

I hope Butler steps up and looks good out there. Would love to see him put some pressure on the QB. Hopefully it is the high motor Butler tonight.

Gametime decision (ankle)........ =100% :

 

[JBS]

Since Garrett has taken over, I have noticed a strong effort to prevent information from leaking..and when info does leak, it has proven to be incorrect.

I'm going to guess that Garrett and co caught wind of the early reports of spencer playing then went out of their way to misinform the media that the plans have changed.

Just a guess on my part.

 

[NeonNinja]

Butler getting the start?

 

[bigdnlaca]

They use Under and Over alignments to get the same effect in a 3-4.

I meant having Ware as a OLB and adding an extra DL or DE.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

It was a game time decision with Spencer, why would they leak that he is not playing so early in the day? Doesn't make sense.

EDIT: ESPN just said Spencer is out.

 

[Big D]

It was just reported on the fan that Spencer will play.
