Tampa was guilty of some awful vanilla play calling which hurt Martin's ability to break off any runs. If Bush starts next week I really like him in this match up

I did not see the game either but I took it as a product of the score.
Lovie is hoping Forte will be back this week: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Bears-hopeful-Matt-Forte-will-return-to-practice-this-week.html
What are Bush owners doing? It's a MNF, so you can't wait to find out if Forte is active. I can't imagine Forte will get a full workload in his first game back, but he might get enough to kill Bush's value. And if you had Bush as a Forte handcuff, which would you play if Forte is back?

I'm starting Bush. Even with Forte in there, he is the goalline back.

This, Bush has value especially in TD-heavy leagues regardless if/when Forte comes back

Why would a bush owner ever drop him? For now he is the starting RB and once Forte comes back Bush is the goal line back. Even as the GL back he has value.

Roster squeezes over the bye weeks always cause owners to drop someone(s) they don't want to. 2nd fiddle/GL back certainly could be that guy if the owner is already 3 deep at RB. If he survives the bye weeks on someone else's roster I'll do a WR + Bush for a better WR type of deal, usually works in handcuff situations.
He got hurt. To what extent is unclear and Bears were mum about it after the game but Bush barely played in the 2nd half after taking big hits in the first half and Bell had taken over even when the game was 13-6. If you believe Lovie Smith Bush not playing much in the second half was not due to injury but then again he downplayed Forte's injury too. Bush had only 4 carries in the second half for 6 yards and his last carry came with 10:40 left in the 4th quarter and Bushs only carry in the 4th came when the Bears got near the goaline. The second half should have been typical ground and pound time for Bush so injury is the only thing that makes sense. Smith did admit some players were banged up and that Bush took some big hits.Don't be surprised to see Bush limited or missing practice time this week. Working out Grant may have more to do with Bush than Forte.
