For all of the intelligent Bears fans that have moved on with their lives since Jay Cutler‘s injury in the 2011 NFC Championship Game, this article is for you.
I have absolutely zero desire to acknowledge the still remaining contingent of fans who refuse to let it go because THEY know that Jay Cutler could have finished that game, choosing to ignore the fact that he sprained his MCL.
According to espn.com, Chicago Bears center Olin Kreutz was not surprised, and he said he could see Cutler’s leg shaking during a huddle in the second quarter.
“I didn’t even think he was going to finish the half,” Kreutz said. “When he came back to try it again, that amazed me. It was shaking right after he took the hit and walked back in the huddle. It was swinging like this [waving his hand back and forth].
“So I knew one of his ligaments probably went. I can’t remember exactly what play it was. I know it was the second quarter. I remember him walking in the huddle, and I saw it shaking like this. I said, ‘Ah, man.'”
