What is abundant sunshine? Isn't that just sunny insead of partly cloudy?

Great day for a game! Let's go Pack. Rodgers for 265 and 3 TD.

[MJZiggy]

Abundant sunshine is what you'd best cherish before the winter blah sets in.

[GBRulz]

Last night I saw lots of Bear fans out and about. I think Packer season ticket holders who sell their tix to Bears fans should automatically have their tix revoked.

BTW, the new fence was painted yesterday. It reads "Time for a big hit, Bigby"
Not sure why they chose that one. I read one of the slogans that someone submitted, it was "12 leads to 13". I'm sure most can figure it out. I dunno, I loved that one though!!

[falco]

I like this line on PFT:


You can believe that Aaron Rodgers doesn't possess some bogus trait that makes quarterbacks solely responsible for winning close game in the ultimate team sport, or you can see Green Bay's seven losses in 2008 by five points or less for what it was: a fluke.

Meanwhile, I could point you to countless other articles that say don't blame Rodgers for the Packers going 6-10. I agree he didn't play perfectly, but AGAIN he led the Packers to a game leading (six times) or game tying (one time) score in the final half of the 4th quarter last year. In 6 of those 7 games, the defense gave up the lead in the final 4 minutes.


That is a huge statement about how well Aaron Rodgers played in the 4th quarter. It's a huge condemnation about what the defense did. And don't forget to include the ST's that gave up huge returns late in games and missed field goals to lose games.

It's like anything else. When a young player starts his first year, yeah, maybe he hasn't won a championship or gotten to the playoffs yet, but it's ONE year. How can that stupid claim even begin to be nurtured in the media? Manning can't win a SB. Wait. Elway and Marino couldn't win one. Wait. Yeah, those things are true for the moment. Some end up being true in the long run, but the reality of why is what they should focus. When you completely ignore context in favor of a one line, incomplete thought, you are an idiot on some level.

He'll be posting on forums in no time.

GO PACK!

[Rastak]

I would suggest football basics then teach him all the swear words a guy needs during the games each week.

[KYPack]

Off to watch the Bengals play the Broncos. Then back to the ranch to watch our lads throttle the Bares.

Everybody have fun, see ya on the game thread.

My god...can anyone believe Favre is playing for the Vikes? Not so hard to believe after the last year, I guess. This year is on pace to be the most exciting year of NFL football of all time.

[Bretsky]

This should be a nice test; the Bears almost always bring their best game and highest intensity to Lambeau.

I speak with a lot of Bear Lovers in my business. They honestly think that they will win the division; point out they were close last year and now they have a huge upgrade and in the short term gave up nothing.

As a fellow homer, I think the Packers win at least 10 games and either win the division over Minnesota or go to the wild card game. I also think GB should win in double digits tonight but I'll take any win

I don't even have the Bears in division contention. Perhaps I'm right; perhaps the Bear Lovers are. Tonight will be telling

If one team comes out and kicks the other teams ass one of the two sides will look pretty wrong.

Scouts inc Packers-Bears breakdown


After breaking down film of both teams, Scouts Inc. offers 10 things to watch in this week's Bears-Packers matchup.


1. Chicago needs to show balance on offense: With the acquisition of talented QB Jay Cutler, the Bears' offense needs to establish itself as a balanced attack. Cutler can make all the throws as well as improvise effectively when plays break down. Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner can expand the playbook.

2. Expect the Bears to spread the ball around: Look for a good dose of Matt Forte in the running game, but also expect the Bears to toss the ball around to their perimeter targets as well as their talented tight ends.

3. Expect the Bears to be aggressive with their defensive game plan: Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had an impressive preseason, so we should look for Bears coach Lovie Smith to pressure him with a variety of blitzes and stunts. Look for corner and safety blitzes as well as some zone pressure packages up front to get the ball out of Rodgers' hand quickly.

4. Expect designed plays for Devin Hester: Hester is arguably the most explosive playmaker on Chicago's roster. The Bears will try to get him the ball in a variety of ways. Hester's route-running has improved dramatically, and Cutler can get him the ball much better than the Bears' previous signal-callers. Hester will likely be called on to run the ball on reverses. He'll also be used on bubble screens to get him in space versus the Packers' defense.

5. Matchup to watch -- Cutler vs. the Packers' secondary: Cutler has all the tools and weapons to put up big numbers versus the Packers. Green Bay has a talented secondary with two 12-year veterans defending on the perimeter as well as very capable safeties in the middle. This should be a great battle of wills as the Bears are not likely to be conservative in their play calling while new Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers will be ready with a few wrinkles of his own.

6. Look for Green Bay to run early: As talented as Rodgers is, we should look for Packers coach Mike McCarthy to establish the Packers' ground game early in the contest. McCarthy doesn't want to be one-dimensional with the pass. We will likely to see a good mixture of Ryan Grant, Brandon Jackson and DeShawn Wynn in this matchup.

7. Look for an aggressive approach from the Packers' defense: Capers was brought in to bring a more aggressive style to Green Bay's new 3-4 scheme: The Packers have talented linebackers, and the 3-4 scheme lends itself to more stunts, twists and zone-blitz pressure.

8. Expect second-team tight end Jermichael Finley to have a big role: The Packers seem to have found another potent target in Finley. He had an excellent preseason, showing the ability to stretch the field as well as refined route-running, and will be a tough matchup for the Bears' linebackers.

9. Look for big plays from the Packers' defense: The new-look Green Bay defense was more active than any other defense in the preseason. The Bears won't be conservative, which plays into the Packers' favor.

10. Matchup to watch -- Packers WR Greg Jennings vs. Bears CB Nathan Vasher: The Packers will likely try to exploit the Bears' secondary with Jennings, Green Bay's most explosive receiver. Vasher will likely to draw the assignment of covering Jennings. Even though Jennings didn't see much action in the preseason, McCarthy will call his number a lot in this contest.

Prediction Chicago 24 Green bay 23

First, I hope you've already bought him his first football - and no damn nerf/sponge/mini versions, please. If he's going to be a real man he needs a real football.

Secondly, I think if you approach this as a holy event, a ritual, all the other stuff - how the hell the game is played, for example - will follow in its own sweet time.

[Freak Out]

Lets get it on!

[Dabaddestbear]

I am so ready for kick off of the games today!

I will be watching the Vikings game first today. it is a MUST to watch your rivals play when your team is not playing. Gives me an extra team (whoever is playing my teams rival) to cheer for while my team isn't playing...lol.

So today my favorite teams to root for are as follows:
1. Chicago Bears
2. Cleveland Browns (although I put my money on the vikings to win today :-( )
3. New Orleans Saints

Go Bears!!!
:knll:

[MOBB DEEP]

As for today, I hope your "experienced" defense took their Geritol Extend.

[esoxx]

I see a lot pressure coming Cutler's way. Pace is a shell of himself and Capers will bring it. Woodson is going to be all over the field tonight.
Keep Forte in check and the beat down is on.

[RashanGary]

Chicago is a good, disciplined, veteran team. They have been consistently good at one thing (edit: two things) and that is stopping the run and (edit: running the ball.)

A few times in the last couple years, Chicago has challenged the Packers toughness. Each time, MM goes on all week with his Pittsburgh macho mouth about how tough the Packers are.

Then, Chicago comes into Green Bay and we put aside our strength (the passing game) to prove to Lovie (who challenges MM's manhood) that we can beat them with the run.

The result? In a 13-3 year we lose two to Chicago. We have lost more games that we should have won against that team in recent memory than I can remember.


If you really want to prove a point to Lovie Smith, coach your team to kick his teams ass (on the score board). There will be plenty of opportunities all season long to prove points and if you're winning, naturally, you'll prove every one you set out to prove.

[Partial]

I agree with you JH I think they are going to try to be a run first team this year. These predictions that A-Rod throws for 5k yards could be very off base in the say that I foresee less passing yards this year as they will have the lead early and hopefully suck the life out of the other team via the run.

The shift in the OL bodies embodies this philosophy. I think they'll live it.

And I'm one that really hopes he runs it more. Actually, they run it about normal numbers. I'm hoping the run it better because if the run it better, they'll win more bad weather games and it will open the offense wide.

I've seen your posts lately. There isn't much I disagree with you on and as much as a Favre supporter as you were, I'm glad to have you on the wagon. You've proved your Packerfanness (not that you had to, but to me I wonder with some).

Alright, I'm off to grab Burrito's and watch the game with my bro. Have a great game everyone. Hopefully we dominate like I think we can.

Speaking of hot women in boots....we should all watch a great first half...take a quickie over halftime, and then watch a great second half !!

[pbmax]

WOOT!

[Partial]

Nice return from Jordy.

[Lurker64]

Yay Jordy!

[gbgary]

AND NO FLAGS!!

[Kiwon]

Great return! Let's score on the first drive.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Jordy is the fastest white guy in the NFL since Doug Donnelly. White Lightening

[pbmax]

For good luck.

Urlacher looked very fast there, holy crap.

[Lurker64]

So far the OL not getting great push.

[imscott72]

Jordy!! Let's go Pack!!

[Mr. T]

Great start!

[gbgary]

the slant is back!

[imscott72]

Rodgers to Jennings! Gonna be saying that a lot this year..

[Lurker64]

Bears looking pretty good against the run, so far... less good against the pass.

[pbmax]

Grant had a hole on teh second down run, but 54 got penetration.

[imscott72]

Come on Wynn! Catch the ball!

[Mr. T]

damn

[Rastak]

Damn, was that Clifton who had the Bears DE in a headlock......geez......

[Partial]

Damnit Mason. Team looks skittish. They need to settle the fudge down.

[imscott72]

Fucking Mason..What's with this guy this year?

[Kiwon]

:( No Good!

[pbmax]

Well that could have gone better. Which direction was he missing in the camp?

[Lurker64]

McCarthy sure sends out Crosby on a lot of low percentage FG attempts.

[Freak Out]

Grant hurt?

[gbgary]

Sure, but a 49 yarder isn't unreasonable.

[Dabaddestbear]

Go MAson!!!

[imscott72]

McCarthy sure sends out Crosby on a lot of low percentage FG attempts.

49 yarder is one he would have drilled last year..

[Partial]

Grant hurt?

They're in trouble in that case. Then again, Madtown and I watched Wynn gallop against the Bears in the past.

[pbmax]

Grant hurt?
Why do you ask? :shock:

[Partial]

Time to see the D baby! Let's do this. I want to see some serious run stuffage and blitzes on third down.

LOL, Woodson was mounted on the back of Olson!

[Partial]

Al lines up way closer to the receivers than the other corners do, but he didn't put a hand on them either play so far. If you're going to play right on 'em, at least give 'em a shove before you back pedal.

Nice pressure on the blitz baby! Chillar and Williams had open shots at the QB.

[imscott72]

DEFENSE!!

[pbmax]

Matthews in the nickel on right side. In coverage on TE

[Rastak]

Cutler wild as hell.

[Lurker64]

McCarthy sure sends out Crosby on a lot of low percentage FG attempts.

Sure, but a 49 yarder isn't unreasonable.

No, but it's basically a 50% shot for most kickers.

[Gunakor]

Excellent series for the defense

[gbgary]

nice!!

[mmmdk]

Go MAson!!!

Mason to Bears! :lol:

He can't. He needs to watch other routes. He cannot keep his eyes on one receiver long enough to bump.

[pbmax]

Cutler wild as hell.
Its all scheme Ras. :D

Ahhh. Why is he way up on them when the other two are several yards off? He did it two of the three plays. On third down he was off.

Even in a zone scheme you can have a man assignment or the short outside zone.

[Partial]

I like the yellow bracelets. Are they play bracelets? If so, kudos to the QB for not needing one.

But if thats what he was doing why not bump?

[VegasPackFan]

is there something wrong with grant?

[pbmax]

Back missed a blitz pickup and got the eyes from Rodgers.

Maybe it's not what he's doing, but he wants to give Cutler the impression that's what he's doing. Show press coverage, then drop into zone. Create confusion.

Ready for the shimmy. Satisfy me Donald.

[pbmax]

Beautiful moving in the pocket.

[imscott72]

DD baby!!!

[Mr. T]

Great Pocket Presence!

[Partial]

Beautiful moving in the pocket.

Yeah, but he was also lucky. I thought he was going to get sacked there. Actually, after seeing the reply it was pretty damn impressive.

Barbre just got owned :(

[denverYooper]

Man, Rodgers is shifty.

[VegasPackFan]

why is grant not in?

[Kiwon]

Crap! A sack. Beat him bad.

[VegasPackFan]

forget it

[Partial]

2nd and 17 and you run a draw yet throw every other damn play? Is Grant hurt? Is this confirmed? Why is he not out there?

[denverYooper]

Beautiful moving in the pocket.

Yeah, but he was also lucky. I thought he was going to get sacked there. Actually, after seeing the reply it was pretty damn impressive.

Barbre just got owned :(

Yea, that was Ugly.

[Partial]

Finley right here....


Oooo, you guys see how pissed Jones looked that he wasn't thrown the ball? That was not a happy reaction.

[Rastak]

why is grant not in?

He is now.

[pbmax]

Spitz called the blitz right but no one was open.

[Kiwon]

DD! Tough chance.

[Mr. T]

God, it's great to see a nice punt in the regular season.

[Partial]

Ooooo, Rodgers took a big shot from Urlacher after the pass to DD. They showed it when cutting to commercial. Anybody else catch that? Looked helmet to helmet? Rodgers went down hard.

[Freak Out]

Urlacher could have creamed Rodgers.....instead he laid him out with a shoulder.

[gex]

Cmon DD you get your hands on it ya gotta catch it!

[Rastak]

Urlacher could have creamed Rodgers.....instead he laid him out with a shoulder.

Man, he drilled him.

[Partial]

Nice grab by Hester. Athleticism showing through on that play.

Did Matthews line up inside on that run? I thought I saw him on the inside of the DE.

[Gunakor]

Ooooo, Rodgers took a big shot from Urlacher after the pass to DD. They showed it when cutting to commercial. Anybody else catch that? Looked helmet to helmet? Rodgers went down hard.

Gotta get used to those if you wanna play quarterback at this level. Yeah, he definitely got his bell rung, but that was about as clean as they come.

[Partial]

Pickin' on Harris...

[Kiwon]

They got Al Harris twice.

[Partial]

Yeah, once they showed it from a side angle it looked good. They showed it from afar before the break.

[Freak Out]

We need to work the run a bit more.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

I don't ge this defense...it appears we are moving across the LOS

[pbmax]

We are playing a ton of nickel.

[imscott72]

Tramon!! UGH

[pbmax]

Wow, big pressure and big drop if INT

[gbgary]

http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/forums/images/smilies/smilie_thud.gif

[Rastak]

Wow, right in the numbers.

[Gunakor]

T-Will is in my doghouse until further notice...

They don't get much easier than that son.

[Mr. T]

Nice complaining about holding from Cutler when Kampmans face mask was clearly grabbed.

[pbmax]

I thought ROberto "Hands of Stone" Duran was retired?

[Freak Out]

Fuuuuuuuck!!!!!

[Tyrone Bigguns]

2 hands hitting my forehead

[pbmax]

Where was the penalty?

[pbmax]

WOOOOOOOOOOO! Go Collins.

[Partial]

Lock him up.

[imscott72]

YEAHHHHH..Collins baby!!

[Gunakor]

Nick Collins wants another free trip to Hawaii for he and his family.

[gbgary]

way to go NICK!

[Kiwon]

INT, baby!

[Mr. T]

Cutler looks baaaaaaaaaaaaaad

[Partial]

Both QB's look skittish today. Time to calm down A-Rod. Cutler looks more skittish thus far.

[Freak Out]

Kia!

[pbmax]

Is this what it was like playing against Favre? Every third throw hits the wrong guy first?

[denverYooper]

Whooooooooo!
Whooooooooooo!
Whooooooooooooooo!

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Both QB's look skittish today. Time to calm down A-Rod. Cutler looks more skittish thus far.

arod looks skittish? When.

[pbmax]

Kia!
Kudos?

[Rastak]

What the heck is Cutler doing out there? That's like 2 almost picks and 1 real one in 40 seconds.

[Willard]

Lock him up.
what he said!

[pbmax]

Children everywhere say WIndows 7 is great!

[Sparkey]

McCarthy, mix up the play calling a bit

[pbmax]

He's a gunslinger! And having fun!

Most dropbacks so far. Early season jitters. I'm not worried.

[MOBB DEEP]

HBCU baby

[Mr. T]

Grant needs to get out of first gear.

[pbmax]

Well the running game needs to go back to camp./

You are high.

[pbmax]

Way too much arm. Too bad. WIDE O P E N.

[Kiwon]

This is getting frustrating.

[Willard]

Grant needs to get out of first gear.
Driver needs to get out of 3rd gear.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Bears on the phone to Ruvell right now..."we need you to suit up...second half if possible.'

That was an inaccurate deep pass there. Damnit.

[Mr. T]

another nice punt from kapinos. Botched coverage.

[pbmax]

That touchback was not Kapinos fault. Someone needs to see the ball.

[Freak Out]

Grant looks hamstrung.....

[Rastak]

So Cutler attends OTA's and camp and still isn't in sync with his recievers....perhaps the Favre guy is on to something....hell, no need to go to camp to accomplish that!

:wink:

[Sparkey]

When did Grant turn 40 ?

[gbgary]

grant seemed to be hurting on the sidelines a while ago.

[denverYooper]

decent punt... too bad they couldn't grab it at the 2.

[Freak Out]

Grant needs to get out of first gear.
Driver needs to get out of 3rd gear.

Driver made a damn nice move....Rodgers needs to chill a bit.

[Mr. T]

Grant needs to get out of first gear.
Driver needs to get out of 3rd gear.
I don't think he saw the ball until it was too late. Aaron looked mad at himself on the sidelines.

[Mr. T]

This feels like the old black and blue division.

[imscott72]

The D is really swarming to the ball. They look great right now..

[Willard]

Grant needs to get out of first gear.
Driver needs to get out of 3rd gear.
I don't think he saw the ball until it was too late. Aaron looked mad at himself on the sidelines.
Clearly overthrown. Too bad. Hopefully he gets another shot.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

This feels like the old black and blue division.

Was thinking the exact same thing.

[Rastak]

The D is really swarming to the ball. They look great right now..

Yes they do.

[denverYooper]

The D is really swarming to the ball. They look great right now..

Yeah. Nice to see they're holding their own. Now the O just needs to synch up.

[Mr. T]

That ball was behind Olsen. Cutler is panicking.

[Sparkey]

Solid return by Nelson

[imscott72]

another drive in good field position..Can we get some pts now?

[denverYooper]

Fuckin' Barbre.

[Gunakor]

Barbre is getting whipped tonight.

[Rastak]

[quote="Mr. T"]That ball was behind Olsen. Cutler is panicking.[/quote

I agree.....damn, RT is getting owned badly.

[Mr. T]

Barbre owned again.

[BEARMAN]

I LUV the way Mr. Urlacker says "Hello" to ur qb ! LMAO ! :twisted:

Go "BEARS" Go !

Well, since I'm somebody, I disagree :D

[Gunakor]

Where is Tausch when you need him? If he were a Packer, he'd be on PUP right now anyway.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

DD in midseason drop form already.

[Partial]

Breno is inactive too. Fudge. We could use his pass blocking abilities right now.

[Mr. T]

Our backs look indecisive.

[pbmax]

The NFC North. Where QBs go to die.

He's a Packer for life.

Hank Baskett, I believe MainePackFan was a big fan of his, just got a big solo on that NFL red zone commercial.

[Mr. T]

Somebody needs to tell these guys that they added a game to the preseason.

[pbmax]

Breno is inactive too. Fudge. We could use his pass blocking abilities right now.
He couldn't pass block a refrigerator in preseason. Lang would go to RT.
