    And how have we been the last couple years in our season opener ?

    And who is da Bears OC right now.......prolly a guy we should've kept there
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    Why do you say we should have kept him? What was so great about the Bears offense last year? Bears had by far the worst passing offense in the NFL last year.

    Fields reminds me of the first few seasons of the Vikings - they had Tarkenton and virtually nothing else. It still was frustrating at times, though, to see the guy run all over hell and occasionally pull a TD pass out of his ass.

    Back in the day, we beat Tarkenton the great majority of the time - because like the Bears now, the rest of his team was so bad, not to mention, Lombardi's Packers were so good, kinda like today's Packers too.

    I looked it up. Green Bay was 14 - 13 - 1 against Tarkenton-led teams. That's not what I'd call "the great majority of the time." But it was better than what I thought.

    Tarkenton was 2-10 as a starter against the Packers from his rookie year in 1961 to Lombardi's last season as Packers coach in 1967.

    After further review, tex was right. Fritz is charged with a timeout and has one challenge remaining.

    Tarkenton ran for only one rushing TD in that time, his rookie season. He threw 12 TD passes and 21 INTs in that span.

    AND I was wrong in my prediction for the game.

    Fuck.

    Apologies to you, Tex.

    Thanks Fritz. Good job with your additional research about Tarkenton.

    As for the Bears game, predictions are predictions. Some work, some don't.

    I am completely confident in saying AGAIN though, this Packers team is loaded even if Love is just mediocre. And it's beginning to look like Love is pretty far above that level.

    Mediocre might be a bit of a stretch. This team isn't the 2000 Ravens that won with Dilfert. But if Love is good (and indications are that he is), the Packers will be very good. There's enough talent that he doesn't need to be peak Rodgers or Favre.

    The OL has been awful for 15 years and now with the same guys is great.

    The rest of the team was ok for 15 years and Rodgers carried them and now they’re loaded even though it’s mostly the same guys playing.

    A lot of that was after the Lombardi era - when it was a great majority of the time.

    Also, during the Lombardi era, the Vikings were just added to the NFL and had been formed in 1959. We should be kicking the Tampa Bay equivalent from the 1970s ass.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    I suppose I should have specified it to begin with hahahaha - so nice to have a God damned truth squad.

    I remember the very first Packer/Vikings game, also Tarkenton's first game vs he Packers because it was my Confirmation Day - I had a bad look on all the pictures because I was getting called away from watchng the game (a 37-13 win as I recall - I suppose somebody will look that one up too hahahaha). In those days and for the rest of the Lombardi era, he did that scrambling thing a lot like Fields now. It was frustrating to watch, but since ya'all like to look things up, maybe check how many times we beat him in those early years. Sure, Tarkenton overlapped into the Bengtson years and maybe beyond, and he probably was still around when the damned Vikings got to and blew the Super Bowl (you can check that one too hahahaha).

    The point being, when I said "back in the day" (if I said that), I meant when Tarkenton was at the stage of his career that Fields is now.

    People who hold you just a l-e-e-e-t-l-e bit accountable for the crap you throw around sometimes?

    You might not like it, but it matters.

    Jordan Love is about to take his first step into ownership…of the Chicago Bears. Because that is what a GB QB does.

    IF they lose. I think it will be close, and the new kicker is what will cost them.

    I said they were a 9-8 team that would be fine finishing 5-12 with a top 8 pick due to rookie K/P. Then they can decide if the potential is playing out or they can move on after this young roster has a year under its belt. We aren't winning an Owl, might as well get a top pick and hope one of the 2 work out.
