The Official Opening Day Game Thread - Green Bay vs. Chicago

[Partial]

Alright fellas, lets get this party started early this time. Kickoff is in about 16 hours and I have never been more pumped for a game in my life!!! Lets get fired up Packer Rats and have ourselves a thread for the ages and a sweet, sensational victory for our beloved team!!

[Bretsky]

GOOD LUCK TO GB TOMORROW; I'm about ready to head to the sack, get up at 7 to drop the kids off, and leave by nine for Lambeau. Ready to talk some trash with Bear Lovers

[MadtownPacker]

Dammit P we are gonna have to keep this fire going!

All I want for opening day is a Packers win!!!

[Partial]

Hey, my iowa cable has a Packer show on. Abdul Hodge is being interviewed right now. He seems like he's very focused and has a great smile. Seems like he's very natural with the camera on him :)

Same thing here, the M&P connection will get the fire fueled and we'll rock it!

[Partial]

Hodge really seems to have an understanding of what its going to take to be great. The desire seems there as well. However, as the interview continues he looks less natural

[erock9]

What's goin' on, everybody? This is my first post so be kind, hopefully, I'll have more to come and I can add to the discussions in here. I'm here to support to the Pack and today me and my roommate decided we'll be making the trip to Green Bay we don't have tickets but we're hoping to find some and if not, we'll just drink in the bars around Lambeau! Go PACK!!!!!!!!!! Have fun, everyone!

[Partial]

Hop on IM, MTP

[erock9]

And by the way, the best part of the trip will be talking $hit to the Bears fans! God it was fun watching Steve Smith tear them up in the playoffs last year!

[Partial]

Brett Favre has won 75% of his career meetings against the bears. 21-7 overall. If you subtract last year, he is 21-5. That is a flat out ridiculous career record against any team, period. Wow, kudos to him, I have never seen the actual numbers before!!

Try this Scalpers Alley everyone talks about. I want to know if its real!

[Bretsky]

Yes, go to the scalpers alley and wait til near gametime to buy a ticket. It's real, but the prices will start out high tomorrow.

BTW, welcome to PR.

I'm out. Go Pack Go !!

[Fosco33]

Well, I've been posting now since mid-Jan with all you guys/gals and I'm fricken estatic that we actually have some real football to talk about.

I just finished watching the TiVO w/ Brett/Mooch's interview and I'm really pumped. It's like Christmas Eve - let's hope tomorrow I get a win for Christmas. :mrgreen:

[J-Rok]

Tomorrow, I'm watching the game in a bear den. All my friends (Bear Fans) watch the games together, and this is the first time they invited one of my kind... I'll proudly sport my Brooks jersey, I just hope I can make it through a few helpings before getting ridiculed out of the house...

Here's to a running game and shocked, silent Bears fans.

I've been a fan of the Pack since they beat my beloved Patriots in the 1996 SB.......
Howard ripped my heart out that bastard!!
Heheheheheheh

I've always liked Favre since then, I've had him on numerous fantasy teams, and always watch for GB players, cuz they always have a few jewels.

Go Favre, Go Jennings, Go Pack!!!!

I'd love to see ya's kick the snot outta them cocky Bears!!
Edit: I'd love to see a Pats/Pack rematch!!

Welcome to PR, everyone ranging from the far west with Madtown to the northeast with you, to Tarlam! overseas wants a victory!! Let's get a green and gold victory today!!

[Tarlam!]

Whadaya know? We have a new Pet Pats Troll!!

Welcome Muzz! Hope you post often. Warning: Watch out for low fklying buckets of Kool Aide :lol:

[muzz]

Thanks guys, I am not a troll, I'm just been here looking over Jennings stuff( a few times, I've read everything I can find), and realized this seems like a cool place.

I like the Pack, my 2nd favorite team behind the Pats(distant 2nd, but what do ya expect, I live 10 miles from Gillette, and have never lived more than 20 for 41 yrs .. heheheh).

I still think Favre has alot to give to you guys, he is still one of the best QBS in the business IMO, regardless of what he did last yr.

I'm a bit worried about that OL though, 2 rookie guards scares me ( and Brett too!! ) a bit.

The Pats played OK last Yr with 2 rookies on the OL, so hopefully they can keep Brett upright long enough!!!

[BEARMAN]

The day of reconing is upon you. You have been weighed, you have been measured and you have been found wanting. The wrath of the Chicago BEARS is your reward. You do not have to stand tall in this world, but, you DO have to stand up ! :evil:
STAND UP you packerrats, take the beating of your lives. When it is over, I'll feel no remorse, you just got in the way of the best team in the NFL, your CHICAGO BEARS ! :twisted:

Game ON !

GO BEARS GO !

[muzz]

DaBears have the offense of a HS team.......

End of story.............

When Lovie finally gets his head out of his ass and plays Griese, ya MAY have a shot!!

GO PACK!!

[Tarlam!]

Muzz, if you're not a Pack fan first, but you post here, we'll name you a "pet troll", as opposed to a #*+&%$$§§" troll! :smile: :smile: :smile:

We have a pet queen troll named Rastak who we all love to death, we have a couple of pet Teddy trolls that have been hanging around of late.

We welcome all football fans to PR.

Being a Pet Troll is a term of endearment. If you hang around long enough, your Rat Name might even become "Pat Rat"!! That's something to shoot for, right???

You will find tickets if you will be patient! While a game in high demand like this, they are harder to find, it CAN be done. especially at kick-off, scalpers realize they might be stuck with the tickets and would rather get something than nothing at that point.

have FUN

[GBRulz]

took the dogs out for a walk just a little while ago and I couldn't believe the number of people out tailgating already!! Ok, it's officially hit me that it's GAME DAY !!!! We've waited SO long for this :mrgreen:

[BallHawk]

I AM SO FREAKIN' PUMPED! I swear, this is the most pumped I've ever been for a football season. Partially because, the older I get the more I understand the team. Over the last year I've progressed so much in knowledge, with a lot of credit due to this forum. The other part because last season after the Pack got off to their horrible start, my Dad really didn't want to spend $30 bucks every week to go to the bar and watch the Pack lose. So the last full game I watched was Oct.23 against the Vikes, with Edinger kicking the GW Field Goal. So I've been deprived of Packer regular season football for almost 11 months now. I need my fix.

LET'S GO PACK!!! LET'S KICK SOME ASS!!!!!!

[GBRulz]

007, no rain in sight. It's just cloudy.

I was tailgating near the Metrodome a couple years back at a Vikes-Bears game and the guys I was with were grilling Bear meat....that was kinda cool.

[GBRulz]

ladies and gentlemen, football is in the air !!!!!

We currently have 58 degrees in Green Bay, WI. Kick-off temp around 64 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. However, the clouds seem to be moving out and the blue skies are breaking through.....

a few shots taken while I was driving to the store just a few moments ago...

Damn straight. I just hope we all don't jump off bridges and high buildings if our young team doesn't play like the '97 team today... the season's not over if we don't pull this one out.

Good Lord, when is 3:00 gonna get here? This is more torture than a man should have to go through.

I know. Those SOB's at Sunday NFL Countdown always do that. They always leave the Packer stories until the end and tease us from the beginning. Probably, because they know we're one of the only fans that will wait through a 2 hour show for a 2 minute segment. Goddamn, I love being a Packer fan.

[BallHawk]

And GB, great pics.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

go pack go



Am so fuckin excited, woooooooooooooooooooo :mrgreen:


Bears 14
packers 21

mark it down!

[RIPackerFan]

Let's get this started!!!!

Waiting until 4:14 ET is a slow and painful death.

[falco]

Well this is the day we've been waiting for...I'm surprisingly optimistic.

With the bears shoddy offense, I think all it will take to win is for McCarthy to remain committed to the running game, no matter how shitty it starts, and Favre not throwing any interceptions. As long as our D doesn't break down, we should be able to play their game right back at them.

[Partial]

WHOOOO I've gotta run to dubuque to do a few things to get ready for the new job, then I am running back here to clean up the kitchen, and by then it should be game time baby, whooo hoo!

[Partial]

'Atta girl GBR, great pics, are you going to the game today?

[GBRulz]

tnx guys.... actually I'm having a group of friends come over and we're watching it on the big screen. I've been running around getting stuff done this morning...making taco salad and then realized I forgot to get the chips. DUH :crazy:

This is one of those days where the windows will be open....and you can hear the cheers of the crowd...makes ya get goosebumps!!!

The best part is the flyover of the F16's.... the whole house shakes!! It's like surround sound 10.1 :wink:

I think we should plan a game get together....even if tickets can't be had by all, would be fun to tailgate and go watch the game at a sports bar

That makes me so homesick. I remember the days when we'd go to my Dad's friend basement and we'd have brats and Tostitos. I wanna go back so bad.

I envy you GB.

[Partial]

Are you guys ready for some football? Are you ready to make this thread one for the ages? I am gonnna be on here during the entire game, so lets have ourselves a great time and a wonderful game!

[Partial]

I have some brats but no grills, since the game hasn't started yet and this is a packer tailgate question, how can I prepare these brats for the game?

[BallHawk]

Soak them in beer.

[MJZiggy]

Then cook them in beer with some onion.

[MJZiggy]

Sudden craving for beer cheese soup. Sadly 'round here if I want it, I have to make it.

[Partial]

like fry them? or how does one cook them? I suppose I could boil them like a hot dog within the beer.

[BallHawk]

Shit, I have a craving for Beer-battered Bratwurst right now.

[MJZiggy]

Boil 'em first in the beer and then when they're almost done, throw 'em in a frying pan with some oil and onion. Do not break the skins 'cause that lets the juices out.

[Partial]

Shit, I have a craving for Beer-battered Bratwurst right now.

Do it man, ask your folks for a couple bucks, take a pregame bike trip to the grocery store, and cook some up! Hopefully, you have the beer already!

[BallHawk]

Of course I have the beer, Partial. I have it in my secret compartment in my closet. :wink:

I would, but Naples is so damn spread out. The nearest grocery store is 3 and a half miles away. Also, the only way to get there is to bike along this narrow sidewalk where cars are going 60 MPH 8 feet away from you.

I miss the days of being able to take a scenic bike ride to Sendiks or Kohls for some grub.

[BallHawk]

Mike Ditka proves he is the most knowledgeble person on NFL Countdown by saying if the Packers win today, it is a whole different scenario. Meanwhile Irvin is still blabbering like he's high(probably is) and TJ is on LSD. Have you heard that guys laugh? My God, it's scary. At least he picked the Packers to beat the Bears.

[MasonCrosby]

i just want to say that in spite of whatever could happen today...

GO PACK GO!

[muzz]

Geeeeeeezus the time is FINALLY here!!
Football is the balls!!
The ONLY thing I hate about football season? Shitass weather!! Today is nice though.

Irvin is a moron of the highest order. If they had a "moron of the year" he'd be in the running every year until he died.

Let us bow our heads and pray...

Dear God,

Please air the Packers-Bears game in my area. I really don't care about T.O., nor do I want to watch the Cowboys. Let A.J. Hawk light up the Bears, and may he rip Thomas Jones' soul out. Let Brett throw straight and true, and only to the men in green jerseys. May our defense get penetration, and may Rex Grossman have so many grass stains on his jersey it would be cheaper to just buy him a new one than washing it. Let Ahman Green gain 100 yards and have holes large enought to drive a Mack Truck through. Please, Lord, don't make this a close game, I really can't take another one after last night, and may the pundits finally have to eat their words.

Amen.

From the looks of it, I'll be able to see it. The in-game previews have Green Bay-Chicago listed first, but Dallas-Jacksonville is the premier game of the week. I have a feeling most of Iowa will broadcast the game, it seems like Iowa has a lot of Chicago fans (at least in baseball due to the I-Cubs), I just remember last year always seeing the advertised games in Fox's lineup.

I feel for you man - but we've waited 200+ days for this - 4.5 hours of sleep is plenty :wink:

[Packnut]

Man, the butterflies in mu gut feel lijke dive bombers!

[GBRulz]

F16's just flew over....scared the shit out of me

[Partial]

dang, I have a hunch the cowboys game might be on now here, they have switched from showing the Packers Bears as the game up next to a slew of Dallas/Jacksonville stuff.

edit - nevermind, packers are on and storming the field. There they are!!!

[GBRulz]

and the dogs....

[Fritz]

I'm with you all. I live in the Detroit area and have to PRAY they show a second game after the Lions' yawner, and have to hope that it's not "America's Team" featuring T.O.

Ah, to live in Wisconsin and get all the games.

We live on hope. Let's go, Pack. If the vets don't make mistakes (Green fumbling, Favre throwing picks, Tauscher/Clifton getting flags, Carroll holding everyone), I think the Pack can win this one.

[Partial]

F16's just flew over....scared the shit out of me

Are you ready for some football1?!?!?!

[Tarlam!]

Oh great we lose the toss! :cry:

[GBRulz]

HELL YEAH !!!!! and I'm ready for some drinks....

[Partial]

Lets hope these young kids can do this.

[RIPackerFan]

I'm ready - with my Sirius radio - can't wait.

[Partial]

Oh great we lose the toss! :cry:

LOL they didn't even show that on TV. You're gettin' better commentary then we are. Thats good, too. I'd rather start with the ball in the second half.

[Partial]

All for one and one for all, lets get some ass and play some ball!

[GBRulz]

ok Grossman, go break a nail

[Partial]

AJ Hawk
Greg Jennings
Marquad Manual
Charles Woodson
Jason Spitz
Tony Mall
Ryan Pickett

[retailguy]

ok Grossman, go break a nail


lol, i don't want him hurt till the 4th quarter

[Partial]

3rd and 6, nice pass rush, good catch and pass by the bears. Hopefully it's holding.

[GBRulz]

I can't help but think of Ferris Bueller when i look at Grossman

[Partial]

Damnit, Pass Interfearance on Harris. Declined 'cause he caught the pass for a first down. Still, good pass rush!!

They are dominating the line of scrimmage right now it appears!! The cole train is pluggin' holes!!

[retailguy]

cole is starting. wow I didn't know...

[woodbuck27]

OK Defense !!

[muzz]

Well 1 game down, 1 game to Go!!
Go Pack!!!

[retailguy]

[Partial]

What in the hell? Who did Berrian beat? My guess is it's Manual

[GBRulz]

WHo the hell blew that

[Tarlam!]

That was quick....

[falco]

this team fucking blows :evil:

[Deputy Nutz]

Mark Roman anyone?

[Partial]

this team fucking blows :evil:

Nah, they looked good against the run with a solid pass rush. Only allowed 2 yards a pass. Manual just got outrun by Berrian. We need Carroll in more, we need his speed!!

[retailguy]

Mark Roman anyone?


marquand manuel = mark roman <sigh>

[Fritz]

Dammit. Everyone's talking about how young this team is, but it's the vets that f___ed that up.

[woodbuck27]

D.Rayner kicks 66 yards from GB 30 to CHI 4. R.Davis pushed ob at CHI 35 for 31 yards (M.Manuel). Penalty on CHI-D.Wesley, Offensive Holding, offsetting, enforced at CHI 22. Penalty on GB-M.Manuel, Face Mask (15 Yards), offsetting.
1-10-CHI 22 (14:51) R.Grossman pass short right to J.McKie pushed ob at CHI 32 for 10 yards (N.Barnett).

Yikes !!

[RIPackerFan]

What the heck - come on - play some defense - last thing we needed is to get behind.

[Partial]

Mark Roman anyone?

I heard Manual ran a 7.6 40

[Fosco33]

Thanks Manuel, so much for getting the early lead... :?

[falco]

this team fucking blows :evil:

Nah, they looked good against the run with a solid pass rush. Only allowed 2 yards a pass. Manual just got outrun by Berrian. We need Carroll in more, we need his speed!!

no offense partial, but the pass rush was shit...grossman had a ton of time...and if our safety is getting outrun THAT BADLY, this team sucks.

[Partial]

Dammit. Everyone's talking about how young this team is, but it's the vets that f___ed that up.

He looked really slow. He didn't ever get a chance to cover since Berrian just sprinted past him.

[Tarlam!]

We#re 4 minutes into the season.....Everybody just calm down! :evil:

[Deputy Nutz]

Was it just me or was Hawk in on every running play. He just has a nose for the pigskin.

Keep thinking positive, cracked my frist MGD. I am going to drink one every time the Bears score. Two for a touchdown, one for a field goal. I drink for punishment.

actually 3 minutes, but who's counting? :wink:

[retailguy]

good run, better than expected

[Deputy Nutz]

Green looks like the 2004 Ahman Green.

[Partial]

3rd and 1, this is gonna be the bread and butter of the packers today. Guaranteed this is a crossing route, the best way to exploit the cover two.

Damn, if only I was the coach

[Deputy Nutz]

that wasn't good

[woodbuck27]

Rex Grossman 3/3 72 yards 1 TD . Nice start. . .

Burnout !!

[retailguy]

don't go to vegas
:mrgreen:

[Deputy Nutz]

Ahmad Carroll verse Devin Hester, in a chess match. Who would win?

[Fosco33]

Carrol = Collaring

another 15, sweet field position :oops:

[Partial]

That looked like a horsecollar tackle, wonder if it gets called.

[Tarlam!]

Got called...

[Scott Campbell]

Ryan's punt for 45 nets 47. Can it work like that?

[Deputy Nutz]

Carrol = Collaring

another 15, sweet field position :oops:

that was a great tackle, bullshit call. Fuck TO and that fucking bullshit ruling.

[RIPackerFan]

Man, I hate that rule, sometimes its called, sometimes not.

[Fosco33]

Ryan's punt for 45 nets 47. Can it work like that?

With the penalty it'll be 32

EDIT - did they not call it? The announcers didn't say??

[Favre4]

Hate the decision on who to use as returners. Start shy of the 20, 3 runs, no first down. About to spot Chicago 14 points.

[woodbuck27]

Green Bay Packers begin at 12:05

[Partial]

Holding or Collaring?

[falco]

very polite of our secondary to allow such large cushions

[RIPackerFan]

Come on Harris. Jeez, I wasn't expecting the secondary to have this much problems.

[retailguy]

what's up with harris?

did you see kampman get stood up? pathetic

[Partial]

Collins sure is fast. Maybe he can lend some of his speed to Manual?!?

[Fosco33]

OK, I'm fricken pissed - time to watch the game and yell a little bit - cya at half time...

[falco]

okay lets get off the field now

[retailguy]

Got called...

Holding or Collaring?

according to nfl.com, nothing. no flag

[Partial]

How about we stop a pass play? just one.. Come on Packers, let stuff 'em!!

[GrnBay007]

Is it ok to start crying? :sad:

[woodbuck27]

Want a raise Al ?

You'll have to earn it.

[Partial]

Wow, Nice blitz by Barnett

[TennesseePackerBacker]

ok how can i listen to the game? i tried that mighty20-20 or whatever that people said would work but got nothing, anyway for a packerfan stuck with the dallas game to actually hear the game?

[Tarlam!]

Has anybody seen 11 guys in Green and Gold? They should be in Lambeau playing defense! If you see em, lemme know!

[CyclonePackFan]

Jesus tapdancing Christ, I could see that slant coming from Iowa. Why in the hell would you give a 7-yard cushion on a 3rd and 3?

[Partial]

Damn skippy

So much for Chuck Woodson. He looks like ass right now.

[falco]

bears 3/3 on 3rd downs this drive

[retailguy]

Aaron Kampan lights up Grossman, Nick Barnett gets an INT in the end zone.

Repeat often, please.

[Favre4]

[pack4to84]

Come on - let's hold them to a field goal.how about no points..INT

[GrnBay007]

[Deputy Nutz]

Collins damn near jumped over Barnett.

[Tarlam!]

Hullo? A play for a loss? :shock: Followed by an INT???

Gimme that Kool Aide!

[TennesseePackerBacker]

LOL I agree

[MasonCrosby]

it would be really nice if the secondary would start playing...

[retailguy]

that was all Jones. Hell of a run

[Partial]

Damn, first quarter flew by!!!

[Partial]

Alright, what the hell is with our pass coverage? Did Brady Pop just get owned?

edit - yes, yes he did.

[retailguy]

anybody want to talk about how fast Poppinga is now? :evil:

[woodbuck27]

Where is the pass "D" ?

R. Grossman 8/10 130 1 1 with 2:47 remaining in the 1st Quarter.

[Partial]

anybody want to talk about how fast Poppinga is now? :evil:

[Partial]

Another blitz by Pop stoned by the RT, nice cut back by Jones

[Scott Campbell]

BRING BACK SLOWIK!!!

[retailguy]

Poppinga is sucking dog right now.


wasn't it you who said we shouldn't panic, three pages ago? :shock: :wink:

[Lynx4Ben]

Go Woodson and Harris!!!!

[RIPackerFan]

We have to get the D off the field for a little bit. They have been in way too long.

[Partial]

its the same pass defense as last year, we just improved against the run thats all

Woodson needs to man up. These receivers are not good by any means, this is the Bears, afterall.

[Partial]

I agree, this first quarter flew by from the clock just running and running and running

[Packnut]

I can't believe I waited so long just for this. Anyone else besides me see the difference in play-calling? MM is in way over his head my friends. No imagination what-so-ever on either side of the ball. It's going to be a long long season. :cry:

[Chubbyhubby]

looks like a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOONG Season for the Pack!

[retailguy]

I agree, this first quarter flew by from the clock just running and running and running

Are you agreeing with yourself? :shock:

Alright Packers, lets force another turnover!

Suck it dry, Grossman

I'll take Kampman sacks all day

he's not play calling, he's ordering a PIZZA. He ain't got time for no playcalling.

Alright Favre lets hook up with Mr. Jennings or have Mr. Green break a long run for a TD

[MasonCrosby]

LET'S GO FAVRE!
