Official Packers vs Bears Thread

[gbgary]

picking on chuck. wow. he'll make them pay for that.

I love Woodson, but what on that drive makes you think that?

two completions in a row...one for a td.

No, I mean: Why do you think he will make them pay?

he's a play maker. he'll be looking for that back shoulder fade next time. he'll have another int today.

[ThunderDan]

Rodgers is missing some passes today as well; one easy one to Driver earlier and that wasn't even close.

Rodgers 13/18 for 141 yards. He has missed a couple throws and the refs jobbed him of a TD and like 40 yards.

[Badgerinmaine]

Another failure to get a punt downed inside the 20.

[Airin' Rodgers]

I very much hope your right. This drive. Returned for 6

[ThunderDan]

Bigby sighting!

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Noone has a fucking link to the game? seriously?

Seperate thread for it

thanks

[ThunderDan]

Rodgers looks like shit ... throwing off the back foot ...

Rodgers isn't the problem this game!

[Brando19]

Rodgers looks like shit ... throwing off the back foot ...

Rodgers isn't the problem this game!

It's the offensive line and lack of D-line.

[mr_blonde]

Bigby sighting!

Yea, that guy hasn't made a play since I don't know when ... Average to poor strong safety ... but he is better than Derrick Martin ...

[gbgary]

devin is killing us.

[red]

every time a qb throws at bush is pretty much an automatic completion for whatever reason

[red]

and yes, we are missing al harris a lot

[mr_blonde]

Rodgers looks like shit ... throwing off the back foot ...

Rodgers isn't the problem this game!

You don't have to tell me that! The game plan from the onset was the problem .... "play not to lose".

Rodgers, however, needs to pick it up because the Packers or going to need a lot more points to win this game.

[Bretsky]

nice job; but IMO they might go for this

[DannoMac21]

every time a qb throws at bush is pretty much an automatic completion for whatever reason

I'm clueless as to how he's still a Packer, or a National Football League player at that. Yes I'm saying that despite his special teams play.

[gbgary]

way to Packer D!!

[Badgerinmaine]

Big third down stop--let's build on that.

[denverYooper]

Big stop. Now time for a Big Drive. Feelin' it here.

[Fosco33]

Looks like Woodson hurt his shoulder/arm on that tackle in the 2nd Q (where he came around the blocker and had a nice tackle).

He let up 2 or 3 throws and was around for a few tackles where he was playing with half his body.

I hope he's not playing out there at 50% - bc that doesn't help the long-term playoff cause.

Anyone?

He's 14/19. With 1 TD taken away.

yeah but t-will and bush as you're #1 and #2 cb's is an even worse idea

i don't think the ijury had anything to do with the 2 completions, they were just good routes and throws

[mr_blonde]

Lovie out-coaching McCarthy again ... SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE /s

[MJZiggy]

OMG!! A decent special teams play!!!

[Bossman641]

Rodgers looks very uncomfortable

[gbgary]

every time a qb throws at bush is pretty much an automatic completion for whatever reason

capers had him playing off the line 10 yards on the only play bush was involved in.

[Fosco33]

Pack left 11 points on the board in the 1st half and haven't adjusted to Bear's defensive pressure or the Bear's passing attack.

Question is - should we blitz like we did in the 1st half or start to play some man?

[Mazzin]

Jarrett Bush straight draggin boys down. :)

[red]

hey, bush made a special teams tackle, lets give him a long term deal

[red]

every time a qb throws at bush is pretty much an automatic completion for whatever reason

he's given up more then one pass today

If he has a minor injury - play. If it could turn out to be something bigger by not getting treated - then sit. We need him for 3 more games and hopefully the playoffs more than today...

The routes/throws were good - agreed. But there were a few times where he didn't wrap up with both arms around a tackle there... that's the concern.

[Fosco33]

Come on D!

[Maxie the Taxi]

If this team has the character to go deep into the playoffs, it has to show it in the 4th quarter and win this game.

[denverYooper]

If this team has the character to go deep into the playoffs, it has to show it in the 4th quarter and win this game.

Yup. Very winnable game. A championship team turns it on here.

i'll tell you what, if we don't win today then we are in huge trouble, playoff wise

[Mazzin]

IDK what everyone is talking about, that article on Bigby must have gotten him ready to tackle.

[DannoMac21]

YEAH COLLINS

[packers11]

ahahhaahhshahaahahahhaah

[packers11]

I love CUTLER!

[MJZiggy]

YEAH BABY!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!

[Brando19]

We needed that INT. See what some QB pressure can get ya?

[red]

THANK GOD

alright m3 you need a FUCKING TOUCHDOWN HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maxie the Taxi]

That's the way to beat the Bears -- pressure Cutler.

[Bretsky]

If this team has the character to go deep into the playoffs, it has to show it in the 4th quarter and win this game.


YUP

and a HUGE play by COLLINS

TTT, get this guy signed already :!:

[Mazzin]

We really need to sign this man!

[gbgary]

nice play collins. now let's get a TOUCH DOWN DAMMIT.

[ThunderDan]

Cutler again is no where near the WR on the throw!!

[denverYooper]

NICE! Let's get 7 from this!

[woodbuck27]

This NFL season is just plain unpredictable.

The Falcons with 14 unanswered points tie it up with the Saints at 23 and 9:47 remaining in the 4th quarter.

[Bretsky]

Driver got mugged

[red]

first down on the one

[Badgerinmaine]

PUNCH IT IN!!

[DannoMac21]

Beautiful

[Maxie the Taxi]

Now stop 'em.

[Brando19]

2 TD's on the day for Grant!

[Bossman641]

Thank god for Jay Cutler.

[Bretsky]

kind of funny; I had Ryan Grant on my bad team in FFL all year and he was a HUGE disappointment

I have a bye this week and for the first time in forever he puts up a couple scores

[ThunderDan]

Do we chase points here?

[red]

Thank god for Jay Cutler.

you got that right

[gbgary]

NICE!! GRANT AND JENNINGS FOR 8!!

[denverYooper]

HUGE!

Collins = contract.

Big time play from a big time D.

Way to finish O!

Now they need to turn around and shut 'em down again.

[ThunderDan]

Thank god for Jay Cutler.

Yeah, Bossman!!!

[pasquale]

I think that was a dumb call going for 2 there at this point in the game. There's close to an entire quarter left.

Good thing it panned out.

[mr_blonde]

NOW .... COVER THE MOTHERFUCKING KICKOFF RETURN ...

Damn'it.

[Brando19]

Saints/Falcons all tied at 23. Could today be the day they lose one?

[woodbuck27]

Nice!

0-0-CHI 2 (Pass formation) TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. A.Rodgers pass to G.Jennings is complete. ATTEMPT SUCCEEDS.

1-1-CHI 1 (12:42) R.Grant right guard for 1 yard, TOUCHDOWN. 2nd of game.

21-14 Packers over Bears.

[Brando19]

HUGE!

Collins = contract.

Big time play from a big time D.

Agreed...sign Collins and get another Safety via FA or the draft.

[gbgary]

you gotta do that. there's no guarantee you get another chance.

[ThunderDan]

With an uncapped year and 5 years to FA it won't be until the offseason.

[denverYooper]

Come on D!

[gbgary]

facemask dammit

[Badgerinmaine]

ARGGGGGGH
Another dumb penalty.

[ThunderDan]

Bigby with 7 solo tackles today!

[gbgary]

come on Packer D!!

[red]

I think that was a dumb call going for 2 there at this point in the game. There's close to an entire quarter left.

the way our o has been playing the last 2 quarters they might not get another decent chance to put points on the board

i would have done what they did

[red]

bigby knocks it away for collins

nice

[Packers4Glory]

adding to the lg leading personal fouls! come on M3! those are on you now!

[gbgary]

hold on that play

[gbgary]

Come on Packer D!!

[mr_blonde]

3rd and long ... again ....

[denverYooper]

Let's get off the field here!

Go D!

[Badgerinmaine]

Finally, a stop on 3d and long.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Bears are doing a great job picking up the blitz.

[mr_blonde]

Maynard will coffin corner his punts ...

[ThunderDan]

Cutler and the Bears WR are not even close, it's December and have had 4 months to figure that out!

[MadScientist]

Why don't we have a punter who can kick it out on the 10 :(

[Maxie the Taxi]

This is a test. Pinned deep in their own territory.

Must drive it out of there.

[Badgerinmaine]

Maynard will coffin corner his punts ...
I think Wayne Larrivee said he's only had three touchbacks on punts this year, including the one today.

[gbgary]

Bears are doing a great job picking up the blitz.

they held chuck on the last play he blitzed.

[ThunderDan]

Let's go 11 plays 6:30 for a TD.

[mr_blonde]

I think a five, six minute TD drive right here would be nice.

[Packers4Glory]

This is a test. Pinned deep in their own territory.

Must drive it out of there.
i fear a M3 conservative special to give chicago a chance to tie.

[Maxie the Taxi]

This is a test. Pinned deep in their own territory.

i fear a M3 conservative special to give chicago a chance to tie.

All they have to do is keep running and dinking and dunking. No need to go for a big downfield strike.

[red]

awesome, need to close the door right here

[Mazzin]

HUGE!

Collins = contract.

Big time play from a big time D.

Way to finish O!

Now they need to turn around and shut 'em down again.

Agreed...sign Collins and get another Safety via FA or the draft.

Have to disagree, Bigby is finally fitting in, we need to draft about 4 O linemen, 2 cbs

[Bossman641]

Don't like that late hit penalty. Even though it was for our advantage I think it was weak

[red]

grant seems to be running a lot harder the last couple of weeks

[gbgary]

beautiful pass to fin

[ThunderDan]

That's a nice mix of pass with the run!

[Brandon494]

Bigby is having a decent year but we still have no depth at either safties positions so I agree we do need to acquire another safety

[gbgary]

Come on Packer O!!

[Packers4Glory]

need more yards cuz i have no faith in our FG "kicker"

[gbgary]

come on mm! shit!

[Maxie the Taxi]

Methinks MM is playing for a field goal.

[woodbuck27]

Some fine Viking 'D' to hold the Bengals to a FG and that score is 23-10 Vikings.

Of note in this game.

Cedric Benson is having a fine day rushing Vs a very tough Viking run 'D'. He's up to 96 yards and the Vikings havn't allowed a 100 yard rusher since the Packers Ryan Grant did that two seasons ago.

[Brando19]

[Bossman641]

Come on Jackson. watch the ball

[red]

played for a fg after they drove into FG range

[gbgary]

has donald got his catch today?

[DannoMac21]

Crosby's fucking awful

[red]

GOOD FUCKING LORD

[MadScientist]

need more yards cuz i have no faith in our FG "kicker"
Gee why not? :roll:

[Badgerinmaine]

Huge miss. That would have made it a two possession game.

[Packers4Glory]

we need a NEW F'N kicker....

[mr_blonde]

Crosby and special teams will be the ultimate demise of this team, this season.

[Bossman641]

FUCK. I've backed Crosby all year but this is ridiculous. Bring in some competition next year

[Brando19]

Oh hell...Crosby better be thinking about how much he wants to sell his house for.

[Packers4Glory]

and why in the hell do we play for a FG when our kicker sucks monkey balls?

[red]

has donald got his catch today?

i know he has at least one for sure

[Badgerinmaine]

has donald got his catch today?
2 catches, 11 yards

[Maxie the Taxi]

Too bad GB doesn't have more gormet restaurants. Longwell would still be here.

Now the Bears have good field position.

[digitaldean]

Unfortunately, all that's left out there is the Shane Suisham's of the world.

Crosby is having a bad year for sure.

Blame M3 for the weak kneed play calling late in the drive...

[Packers4Glory]

Crosby and special teams will be the ultimate demise of this team, this season.

that and penalties.

[mr_blonde]

This game is WAY TOO similar to last years game in Chicago. Defense needs to step up and make a play now.

[Bossman641]

I'm feelin a pick 6 here

[mmmdk]

Crosby sucks - but how is that big news? :shock:

[denverYooper]

Blame M3 for the weak kneed play calling late in the drive...

Jackson is usually money on that 3rd down play.

[red]

brian billeck just called it

m3 played for the fg, and they blew it

thats why m3 needs to go

[Brandon494]

Mason Crosby is not a good kicker....time to move on after this season.

[Bossman641]

What a hold. Wow

[gbgary]

thanks...don't remember either one of his catches. now...



Come on Packer D!!

[MadScientist]

Clay is lucky to still have a head after that one.

[mr_blonde]

BILLICK'S RIGHT!!! McCarthy was way too conservative with the play calling when they got inside the 25. Played for the FG; playing not to lose.

[Packers4Glory]

3rd and long...can we stop it unlike the 3rd and 18

[denverYooper]

Let's Go D!

[Maxie the Taxi]

brian billeck just called it

m3 played for the fg, and they blew it

Billeck is actually pretty good at what he's doing.

[Mazzin]

Mason Crosby is not a good kicker....time to move on after this season.



Lets draft one in the 3rd round lol. Any really good ones comming out? I don't watch much college ball.

[Packers4Glory]

BILLICK'S RIGHT!!! McCarthy was way to conservative with the play calling when they got inside the 25. Played for the FG; playing not to lose.

you gotta know your players as well. I'd have slightly less of an issue if we didn't have a suckass FG kicker.

[gbgary]

BILLICK'S RIGHT!!! McCarthy was way to conservative with the play calling when they got inside the 25. Played for the FG; playing not to lose.


COME ON EVERYONE...M M MUST GO! M M MUST GO!

[Badgerinmaine]

thanks...don't remember either one of his catches. now...



Just looked them up--neither was for a first down and I think they both were in the 3rd quarter--6 yards and 5 yards.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Big, big 3rd down. Stop 'em.

[red]

if jennings td wasn't a catch then theres no way this one is

[Fosco33]

Mason Crosby is not a good kicker....time to move on after this season.

I rewatched the Vike-Pack game from 12/21/06 - Dave Rayner sucked. Crosby is fine - just shaky confidence.

[Bossman641]

Lovie is an idiot. Why not throw the flag from the start

[Guiness]

Just showing up, don't know the score.

First guess is that it's going badly, based on the I'm Saying it....fire M3 thread right below this one :lol:

[Badgerinmaine]

I'm listening to the radio feed on the internet--do the Bears have a case on this challenge?

[mr_blonde]

BILLICK'S RIGHT!!! McCarthy was way to conservative with the play calling when they got inside the 25. Played for the FG; playing not to lose.

you gotta know your players as well. I'd have slightly less of an issue if we didn't have a suckass FG kicker.

We all know Crosby has been unreliable (piss poor) this year, too bad our HC still can't figure that out!

[Brando19]

Lovie Smith is an idiot. Come on people! Lovie Must Stay! Lovie Must Stay! :lol:

[Fosco33]

if jennings td wasn't a catch then theres no way this one is

Totally agree. He didn't maintain possession on the ground. Lame rule and too much of a ref judgement call.

[gbgary]

Big, big 3rd down. Stop 'em.

let's hope it's a big third down.

[Airin' Rodgers]

brian billeck just called it

m3 played for the fg, and they blew it

thats why m3 needs to go

No. If crosby makes it the game is iced. You have to be able to make a 42 yard field goal. That was not MM's fault

[Badgerinmaine]

Lovie is an idiot. Why not throw the flag from the start
Not dumb at all. That gave them time to reviews and see whether they should burn a challenge.

Agreed.

[MadScientist]

The refs called an incomplete on Jennings in the end zone for the ball coming out as he went down, so they should do the same with this one. But who knows with refs. Hope Chi looses it's second TO.

[Fosco33]

BILLICK'S RIGHT!!! McCarthy was way too conservative with the play calling when they got inside the 25. Played for the FG; playing not to lose.

Sorta - the 2 runs for no yards always hurt. If he was in 3rd and 4 - different story. Bears knew what they were gonna do... and executed.

[red]

brian billeck just called it

Billeck is actually pretty good at what he's doing.

he does seem like a natural announcer

not too smart, not too dumb, doesn't have to talk all the time. good at explaining the game, and not overdoing it like madden

i like what i hear from him

[gbgary]

[gbgary]

yes!!

[Maxie the Taxi]

Huge play by Hawk right there.

[Fosco33]

Sweet - big play by the Packers on 3rd and very long. Need some first downs and not too conservative. A FG would've helped - a lot.

[Mazzin]

I'm gonna be SOOOO pissed if we run three times and punt.

No. If crosby makes it the game is iced. You have to be able to make a 42 yard field goal. That was not MM's fault

if the packers kept doing what they were doing to get the ball in that position, then they might have iced the game with a td and ran another couple minutes off the clock.

[Bossman641]

Lovie is an idiot. Why not throw the flag from the start
Not dumb at all. That gave them time to reviews and see whether they should burn a challenge.

You were saying?

They let the playclock run down because couldn't decide. Then challenged anyways. Stupid stupid move

[gbgary]

I'm gonna be SOOOO pissed if we run three times and punt.

you won't be the only one.

[woodbuck27]

4-2-NO 46 (1:18) (Shotgun) C.Redman pass short middle to J.Snelling to NO 45 for 1 yard (J.Vilma).

The Saints suffer only a scare. They'll go to 13-0 with a 26-23 win.

[gbgary]

we've got to get a first down here. next play goes to driver.

[packers11]

how about a play action on first down and take a shot down field to end the fkingg game. if conservative MM losses this game im gunna flip my fking tv over

[Fosco33]

Run against 9 in the box? Hmm. I say we take the shot.

[Packers4Glory]

not to defend mason cuz u should make it, but a 40+ FG in chicago isnt a gimme. need to get more yards.

[Packman_26]

Lovie is an idiot. Why not throw the flag from the start
Not dumb at all. That gave them time to reviews and see whether they should burn a challenge.
That's bad logic. Now that last challenge and his timeout are linked together anyway. Once he takes that last time out his challenge is gone anyway. If he would have challenged it without the time out he would at least have a second timeout.

Then the error's on their people in the booth who told him to challenge.

Nope. Gonna take two. Let's get the first, first right now, right here.

[gbgary]

good run. we've got to get the first down here.

[MadScientist]

Good for the Pack. All but eliminates ATL

[packers11]

aahahhahaa what a fucking joke. GOOD JOB MM!!! YAYYY

[MadScientist]

One more yard.
or not. Ugh!

[gbgary]

mm is such an idiot.

[denverYooper]

Let's go O!

[Packers4Glory]

i was hoping for a play action boot.

[Airin' Rodgers]

I don't mind the 3 and out with all runs, just because the 8 yard 2nd down run made it the right call on 3rd and short. Bad execution

[mr_blonde]

Mr. "Play not to Lose" strikes again!!!
Cover the fucking punt .... Let's go D!

[Bossman641]

Bush - special teams demon :roll:

[gbgary]

One more yard.
or not. Ugh!

got to call play action pass there.

[Badgerinmaine]

Bush - special teams demon :roll:
Bush drives me nuts.

[Airin' Rodgers]

Mr. "Play not to Lose" strikes again!!!
Cover the fucking punt .... Let's go D!

timeout... you think he should have PASSED on 3rd and inches???

[Fosco33]

You just have to convert a 3rd and 1. That would've taken the clock down to 1:30ish. Just piss poor.

Mason's FG, Jennings 4pts non-TD, Finley's fumble going into the half - at least 7-14 points left on the field by GB.

We should not be in this position to have to win it on Defense. But - it is what it is - D has to go out and snuff them 4 times.

[Bossman641]

I really don't understand how you can criticize running on 3rd and 1. If they passed and didn't get it everyone would complain about not running clock.

[Badgerinmaine]

My Lord, how many yards in penalties do the Bears have today?

[gbgary]

Come on Packer D!!

[denverYooper]

Ok. Come On D!

Bring this one home!

[gbgary]

there was eight in the box and we had to have a first down.

[Brando19]

I doubt it's more than the Packers last Monday Night.

[Fosco33]

I have not complaints - RG did great getting 9 against 9. 3 runs with 8-9 defenders in the box - hard to get 10 yards.

It's execution on a 3rd and a long 1. Frustrating game - Pack has played just average.

[packers11]

OT : B. Marshall... 20 catches :shock:

[mr_blonde]

One more yard.
or not. Ugh!

got to call play action pass there.

I'm sure it would have been wide open ... but not in the game plan. I cannot think of one play-action pass play McCarthy called today

So, Grant ran in for the TD against 8 in box. Blame the execution, not the call

[Maxie the Taxi]

Bears gonna throw deep on Tramon???

Might as well, take a chance on the flag for PI. What's 1 more pick for Jay anyway?!

[Badgerinmaine]

SACK!!!

12 for 104.

T-WILL!

[Badgerinmaine]

Add five more yards :-)

[gbgary]

way to go tremon!!


Come on Packer D!!

[gbgary]

CHUCK!!

[red]

whew

bullet dodged

barely

[mr_blonde]

Dodged a fucking bullet .... Sheez ...

[Maxie the Taxi]

Packers win.

I'm impressed.

They had to struggle. They played average.

But they found a way to win.

Yes. Playoffs.

[MadScientist]

Woodson! Why bother throwing his way.
Time for the victory formation.

[Badgerinmaine]

Ugly...but 9-4 is 9-4. :-)

[Guiness]

Chicago is looking particularly inept here.

[woodbuck27]

TD A.Peterson 3 yd. run Drive: 11 plays, 67 yards in 6:15

His 14th TD of the season ( A Viking single season record ) and second of todays game Vs a really tough Cincy defense. A. Peterson 97 yards rushing and 130 yards total.

A totally different Viking team than we saw last Sunday night in Arizona. This was a solid 'TEAM' win Vs a tough team in the Bengals. The hitting in this game was just wicked. You can tell it's getting close to the playoffs. :D

By the way that impressive 30-10 Viking win clinch's a playoff spot for them

In theory. :D The Packers can still win the division if they run the string and the Vikings lose their last three games.

[red]

well, week 13 is under our belts

and i still don't know if we're good or not

[Badgerinmaine]

You ain't kidding.

[digitaldean]

A win is a win. But against a good team (meaning in the playoffs), a performance like that will mean one and done.

Bears were there own worst enemy today.

After further review...

THE BEARS STILL SUCK

[Maxie the Taxi]

We found a way to win, Red. The defense made the difference. That's a little bit easier to control than the offense. So I'm confident.

[Bossman641]

A win is a win. Team played poorly today but it is still a rivalry win on the road. For everyone complainin about just inchin by, look at the Saints the past 2 weeks. Barely pulled wins out at Wash and Atlanta.

[Fosco33]

Not the best game... BUT-

Pack is guaranteed a winning season.
Swept the Bears knocking them out of their minimal playoff chances.
5 game winning streak. W is a W.

"we'll get that fixed"

[digitaldean]

Go Chargers and GO IGGLES!!!

[Maxie the Taxi]

Now, will everyone join me as I kick back and watch Dallas Cowpies get their ass handed to them?

[Fosco33]

Yes. Playoffs.

Good teams find ways to win.

And another 4th Q comeback - albeit by 1 point 8-)

i guess so, my only other option is the redskins and raiders

how in the hell is that a nationally televised game?

[Brandon494]

We are 9-4 on a 5 game winning streak, we are good.

Throw out the stats when its a Packers/Bears game, good win on the road.

I sure felt more comfortable there when the Bears had the ball, knowing that we were 7 points ahead instead of 6.

[gbgary]

a win we had to have. mm sucks. red zone o was not good today. blitzed too much in the first half.

[Willard]

Rodgers now has a winning record as a starting QB (15-14)! Next steps for sainthood in Packerland: clinch a playoff spot, win a playoff game, win a championship!!

[Bossman641]

The difference between this year's D and last year's D is night and day. When we are up late protecting a lead I expect them to hold on to it, not piss it away in a minute like last year.

i think thats why i don't know if we're a good team or not

we have the best d, we have a potent o. and we're winning

but winning ugly. the ugly makes it look like the wheels could come off at anytime

[Fosco33]

Keys:
- Match Bears intensity - they seem to get more geared up for this game than the Pack - Both teams seemed flat - Pack had a little more juice in 1st half
- Oline has to play solid again (<3 sacks), extra protection and schemes (screens, rollouts, drop off) to attack blitz holes - only let up 2 sacks, did well with Havner as extra protection - a few rollouts and drop off passes; not many screens
- Rattle Cuntler (3+ sacks, 2+ INTs) - Yes - 3 sacks and 2 picks (and about 4 near picks)
- Limit turnovers and penalties (2 or less; 8 or less) - Yes - 2 lost fumbles (one going into the half); only 4 penalties
- Provide over the top protection for TWill - didn't seem to need it but Collins did seem to blanket him
- Keep Forte to under 20 carries and 65 yards; Get Grant 20+, 100 yards and a TD; Forte - 12 for 51yds; Grant - 20 for 137 and 2 TDs; Double Yes
- ST will be important - Mason needs to hit his FGs and the kickoff/punt coverage needs to take their collective head out of their ass - Good coverage today - probably their best. Mason missed a key 42 yarder...

Intensity will determine the outcome. If Pack comes out, settles down the Bears and gets a quick start, it could be a big win. If we are flat or aren't matching intensity, it'll be a long day.

Damn - my keys were pretty money if I do say so myself.

Look at it from another angle.

We're winning starting 3 rookies on defense.

Ohh. Who's we? You and the wife and kiddies? Is all you see Green and Gold? Your not aware of what's going on around your team? Not much makes me ' giddy ' Packer fan. I'm an NFL fan not just a Packer fan.

So PLEASE Bossman641 I live in a free society. I'll post what I want to as long as it's reasonable and polite.

[Willard]

Right you are. Last year in Lambeau against, Carolina there was a sick feeling of inevitability as our defense gave up the long pass to Steve Smith.
Way to clamp down D!

It's not like New Orleans hasn't been in a ton of close games... but they win. Same with Indy - they had 3 or 4 straight games that were very close.

Chargers and Vikes seem to be the only good teams consistently blowing people out.

Packers are good - not great.

Like someone said above look at the Saints last two games against the Skins and Falcons with Ryan and Turner. You are going to have ugly games from time to time, good teams find ways to win those games which we did. Rivarly game on the road is never a easy game.
