Connor Shaw Has Serious Leg Injury.........

Not only does the injury suck but I thought it was a late hit; I only saw the youtube video though. The worst part is Shaw should have been our #2 this year, now we're stuck with Horrible Hoyer.

I thought both reviews for the Chiefs should have overturned the TDs, but they didn't. We got called for a helmet hit on Smith, but they hit Cutler with a helmet and no call. On the other side of the coin, I don't know how Hall doesnt get called for PI on every play.

The refs need serious work too.

What Connor Shaw's injury means to the Chicago Bears' quarterback situation

Preseason games are considered meaningless until an injury strikes a young, promising player. That’s exactly what happened to the Chicago Bears’ Connor Shaw in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs after he entered the game for a banged up Brian Hoyer.

Shaw was claimed by the Bears off waivers on July 1 after a rookie season in Cleveland that included a start and some encouraging play. The expectation was that he’d compete with David Fales for the No. 3 job behind starter Jay Cutler and top reserve Brian Hoyer, but Shaw’s play through two weeks of the preseason led to speculation about whether he’d unseat Hoyer as the backup.

His injury in Week 3 of the preseason against the Chiefs appeared to be of the gruesome lower-leg variety that required the dreaded cart back to the locker room. All this after completing five of six passes for 68 yards and a touchdown.

Everyone who watched the game will agree that Shaw’s injury looked about as bad as it can get. It would be an utter shock if he’s able to play football in 2016.

Assuming Shaw is placed on injured reserve, Hoyer’s job instantly goes from shaky to firm, as Fales has not had enough positive reps this preseason to suggest he’s ready to be Cutler’s backup.

Hoyer has gone 19 of 41 for 237 yards with no touchdowns and one interception this preseason.

Not good.

But, for the Bears, it’s as good as it’s going to get behind Cutler now that Shaw is likely on the shelf. The backup quarterback spot is even more of a concern with Chicago’s offensive line weathering its own injury plague that began with starting center Hroniss Grasu being lost for the year to Kyle Long’s mysterious shoulder injury that caused him to miss the Chiefs game.

Cutler needs to be the ultimate iron man in 2016 for the Bears to have any chance at contending for a wild card in December. It’s hard to imagine Brian Hoyer leading the Bears to many wins if his number is called this season.

I was planning on posting this after the game.  I stopped watching after the TD to Meredith and missed the injury play.  Shaw should have been the #2 and now that's shot to hell.

The Injuries are just beating the shit out of a team that is already lacking in talent and depth behind that talent.
I liked the idea of Larsen as a depth guy, but as a starter, by gawd he's not good. There isn't a OC on this team behind Grasu.
Not sure there is a LG on this team behind Whitehair, and I'm not sure he's ready to dominate.

There isn't a backup QB on this team now.

I'm not sure there is a 1 starting CB on this roster outside of Porter; depending on his injury.
