The Official Packers @ Bears GameDay Thread

[pbmax]

They keep this up and I might switch to college ball full time. They don't need preseason.

[mraynrand]

Rodgers certainly called an audible on the long pass to Scantron. That one long pass success I think just makes it so tempting for him to audible more than he should. It's a feel thing, but you have to run the called plays a certain percentage just for continuity. Sometimes the guys just don't get the audibles. I think that 2nd down was a broken play.

[channtheman]

Verdict is in on offseason. GBGary was right. Rodgers won the battle. Same split offense as last season. Some M4 drives, some Rodgers offense drives.

And almost all of em suck

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Thanks for the clarification :)


not Rodgers' fault

The desire to establish the run is distorting the GABs fragile rhythm.

[pbmax]

Is there a game tonight?

Briefly looked that way. but not anymore.

[Rutnstrut]

They are coming at Rodgers from so many directions he can't setup to throw ball away.



Bullshit. He is holding the ball as usual. Not on every sack, but on most.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Why the fuck am i qoutting channs post?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Mmhm, getting pretty boring. I didn’t realize we were throwing back the game 100 years tonight too.

Well, the first game of the season has turned into a preseason game where starters play a lot. It really is a joke how unready the offenses are for opening day. It's been like this for several years, gets worse every season.

[Rastak]

Mmhm, getting pretty boring. I didn’t realize we were throwing back the game 100 years tonight too.


I've never been a fan of slot machine football - ding ding ding ding all night long.

[mraynrand]

schizoid offense

[channtheman]

Why the fuck am i qoutting channs post?

Just keepin that in your back pocket, eh?

[red]

They keep this up and I might switch to college ball full time. They don't need preseason.

yeah, those first 2 or 3 games against east Tennessee state technical college of the fine arts (knoxville branch), are really special

[mraynrand]

oops blow coverage

[mraynrand]

yeah, those first 2 or 3 games against east Tennessee state technical college of the fine arts, are really special

lol

[pbmax]

Nice pass D.

[ThunderDan]

Great plat TWill.

[Rutnstrut]

Trubisky has better touch on his passes tonight than Rodgers.

[mraynrand]

Just keepin that in your back pocket, eh?

he likes to play his top 10 hits before the night is through.

[pbmax]

yeah, those first 2 or 3 games against east Tennessee state technical college of the fine arts (knoxville branch), are really special

UT itself did not find it easy.

[gbgary]

can't tell from the tv angles but are guys not getting open or is Rodgers holding the ball and ignoring open guys again?

[Rastak]

Thank god they got rid of that moronic "forced out" rule. I hated it the I started watching football.

[channtheman]

Bears takin a page out of Rodgers playbook. The delay of game special

[Guiness]

trying to figure out what's going on with these last 2 Pack O series

The botched RPO was odd, Rodgers looking for something that wasn't there?
The other plays just never got started.

The only positive gain in the third quarter was from the PI.

[channtheman]

Thank god they got rid of that moronic "forced out" rule. I hated it the I started watching football.

You WOULD have a special hatred for that rule, haha!

[Fosco33]

Hahahaha

[red]

nice stop D, way to regain focus

[ThunderDan]

Dang, the D holds up again.

[mraynrand]

that's a turnover

[channtheman]

Did Trubisky know it was 4th down?

[George Cumby]

Packers defensive front looks huge and imposing.

[mraynrand]

You WOULD have a special hatred for that rule, haha!

extra lol

[Fosco33]

Technically that’s a turnover. On down.

[pbmax]

Dear God, outside zone worked!

[red]

best run of the night on a cutback

[ThunderDan]

There was a great wide zone run.

[Rastak]

You WOULD have a special hatred for that rule, haha!


Except for the fact I hated it MANY YEARS before that happened. It was the dumbest fucking rule in the game from the time the asshole thought it up.

[pbmax]

Lather them up M4!

[mraynrand]

So Dix can tackle after all

[red]

man jones gets to full speed fast

[Guiness]

got the replay of the turnover on downs instead of the scuffle - what happened?

[red]

got the replay of the turnover on downs instead of the scuffle - what happened?

not a clue

[mraynrand]

That D is gettin' REAL TARD

[Cheesehead Craig]

Cheap shot by Travathian on Jones

[pbmax]

got the replay of the turnover on downs instead of the scuffle - what happened?

No idea.

Shout out to Justin. Pace of play helps when you are running the ball.

[red]

come on guys, this is starting to look like a real drive

[ThunderDan]

Great drive for the O. Flipped the field back. Now let’s score some points.

[mraynrand]

NO williams on the stretch

[pbmax]

Never should have run wide to that side of field. Overloaded.

[gbgary]

giving the D a bit of a rest.

[Cheesehead Craig]

come on guys, this is starting to look like a real drive

You were saying...

[Rutnstrut]

Cheap shot by Travathian on Jones



Was it a nut shot?

[Guiness]

No idea.

Shout out to Justin. Pace of play helps when you are running the ball.

uh, Justin?

[mraynrand]

Cheap shot by Travathian on Jones

of course

[Rastak]

He get it to the LOS?

[mraynrand]

I bet that was supposed to be the cross to Davis. Damn.

[channtheman]

Except for the fact I hated it MANY YEARS before that happened. It was the dumbest fucking rule in the game from the time the asshole thought it up.

It really was a stupid rule. Almost like saying “the receiver would have caught the ball if the defender didn’t knock it out of his hands. We’re changing the play to a completion!”

[pbmax]

Was it a nut shot?

Bent his neck back.

[ThunderDan]

How is that not 15 on the Bears?

[mraynrand]

Hand to helmet is automatic, right?

[pbmax]

uh, Justin?

Rashan.

[red]

That D is gettin' REAL TARD

https://i.chzbgr.com/full/1627232000/h407287C6/

[pittstang5]

good grief...throw the damn ball!!!!!

[mraynrand]

A little more discipline and they get points on that drive. The D was tired. They needed to give 'em more Jones.

[Rastak]

It really was a stupid rule. Almost like saying “the receiver would have caught the ball if the defender didn’t knock it out of his hands. We’re changing the play to a completion!”


Exactly, in this game how could you possibly determine if the Bear receiver might have maybe got his feet in? It's impossible. Just make the rule you have to get your feet in, which they did.

[pbmax]

A little more discipline and they get points on that drive. The D was tired. They needed to give 'em more Jones.

But he got hurt.

[red]

jump graham

i don't care if the play doesn't count.

at 6'7, you should be catching that shit

just once i'd love to see him jump

[Guiness]

Christ plays like that make me crazy

[Rutnstrut]

A little more discipline and they get points on that drive. The D was tired. They needed to give 'em more Jones.



I agree with more Jones, he was just getting lathered up. But I think he's hurt.

[Rutnstrut]

I agree with more Jones, he was just getting lathered up. But I think he's hurt.

[channtheman]

D needs to score a TD to put this one away.

[TravisWilliams23]

Too many times the play clock is down to 1 sec and the play is dead from that point on. gotta get it in gear.

[pittstang5]

need a turnover

[ThunderDan]

Was he in the tackle box? That would be grounding.

[pbmax]

Pubert Addams on target.

And a flag. Great.

[Rastak]

Packers>Bears it seems. Not impressed with Bears offense......or Pack defense is really solid as many had anticipated.

[esoxx]

You can't fix stupid.

[pittstang5]

oh FUCK!!!! can't do that Tramon...FUCK!!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

the savvy vet

[Rutnstrut]

How the fuck was he supposed to stop his momentum Chris?

[pbmax]

OPI

[pittstang5]

Defense is tired. Bears score on this drive

[channtheman]

Too many times the play clock is down to 1 sec and the play is dead from that point on. gotta get it in gear.

I wish Rodgers would just run the called plays and get some rhythm going. Eh, that’s a touchy foul. You see stuff like that all the time not get called. Might have given the Bears life though...

[red]

well that was a horrible camera angle

[mraynrand]

That ain't no penalty, just completing the tackle.

[Rastak]

Very interesting.

[mraynrand]

burning a TO

[Freak Out]

Corrente is horrible

[Rastak]

Wasted time out.

[ThunderDan]

Horrible challenge. Wtf Lafleur.

[Harlan Huckleby]

huh!?

[pittstang5]

what a waste

[mraynrand]

That is an arm bar extended, but they'll never overrule that

[Guiness]

Push off?

[TravisWilliams23]

Same funckin stupid as stubby.

[pittstang5]

no way it gets overturned

[Rastak]

That is an arm bar extended, but they'll never overrule that


If they did the game would be real trouble.

[channtheman]

Eh, slows the Bears down longer than a timeout. D needed it.

[pittstang5]

cmon D...need a turnover!!!!

[George Cumby]

Wtf is he challenging?

[pbmax]

If they did the game would be real trouble.

Its the NFL, it could happen.

[ThunderDan]

Int.

[pittstang5]

Close...Cmon D...need that turnover!!!!

[red]

theres that twilight zone camera angle again

[channtheman]

What is this camera angle. Fishbowl?

[ThunderDan]

Int.

Nope hit the ground.

[mraynrand]

If Savage had a solid grip, that would have been an INT even touching the ground

[Rastak]

Its the NFL, it could happen.


True Dat...

[mraynrand]

If they did the game would be real trouble.

not really, because they have only so many challenges

[red]

well, we kept the keystone cops play

[pittstang5]

OH COMEON!!!!!!!!

[esoxx]

And to think, NFL turned down Kansas City vs. New England for the opener to go with this shit show.

[channtheman]

Saw that one coming... please be on the Bears. Thank goodness!

[ThunderDan]

Shit.

[pbmax]

You gotta be kidding me.

But the missed sack was the problem with that play.

[Harlan Huckleby]

garbage game

[channtheman]

Do we really need this “PI expert”? Anyone gaining insight from him?

[Fosco33]

A little 1st and 40

[Rastak]

Umm, am I missing something, he barely touched him?

[pittstang5]

CMON D!!!!

[red]

2nd and 40 lol

[mraynrand]

Bears are gonna pick up this first

[pbmax]

Umm, am I missing something, he barely touched him?

That is what I thought. But two hands I guess.

[ThunderDan]

We got the field flipped again on penalties.

[Rastak]

3rd and 40 is bad.

[red]

you know what

THANK GOD WE'RE PLAYING THE BEARS

[esoxx]

NFL just stands for National Flag League. It's wrecking the game. Let them play just a little for fuck's sake!

[channtheman]

2nd and 40 lol

I’m a man, 3rd and 40!

[Bretsky]

I don't ever remember a 3rd and 40

[mraynrand]

Umm, am I missing something, he barely touched him?

he created obvious separation. Cobb got away with that in the WC against the Giants in 2016.

[red]

lol

gotta love FIBS

[Fosco33]

Oh bears fans.

[pittstang5]

Defense needs to give some momentum to the damn Offense.

[ThunderDan]

Adams with great hustle to make that tackle. Fackrell with good hustle too.

[red]

NFL just stands for National Flag League. It's wrecking the game. Let them play just a little for fuck's sake!

and another

[Cheesehead Craig]

So much for good field position.

[pbmax]

What is wrong with Tramontana?

[red]

more penalties then points

2nd PF on tramon?

[mraynrand]

Honestly, this is just how I thought the Packers could win this thing. By their defense being improved enough to stifle a poor Chicago offense. Still a lot of time left tho....

[channtheman]

Bears can still tie it with a pair of safeties

[Bretsky]

I hope he at least laid somebody on their ass

[red]

Adams with great hustle to make that tackle. Fackrell with good hustle too.

thats what we're resorting to tonight

good hustle

[mraynrand]

What is wrong with Tramontana?


Father Time?

[ThunderDan]

Ughh, backed up again. Need some first downs to help finish the game. Can’t afford to give the Bears a short field.

[Rastak]

he created obvious separation. Cobb got away with that in the WC against the Giants in 2016.


Obvious separation by hardly touching him.....nope....that might have actually been obvious enough to challenge but whatever.

[Bretsky]

Offense way bettter with Aaron Jones

[red]

fuck taylor swift

i hope that cunt dies

[Bretsky]

Obvious separation by hardly touching him.....nope....that might have actually been obvious enough to challenge but whatever.


I think that is an easy call when he uses both hands to crate separation when he's not at all open before

[pbmax]

Honestly, this is just how I thought the Packers could win this thing. By their defense being improved enough to stifle a poor Chicago offense. Still a lot of time left tho....

Can you jinx a game by equivocating? :D

[George Cumby]

If there’s a flag every play, maybe there’s too many rules. Just a thought.

[Rastak]

Was sorry to see Jim Langer pass away.

[Bretsky]

Our OC needs to find ways to get Jones some success

[Rutnstrut]

Odd how Sux Dix can tackle now.

[pbmax]

That looked like LaFleur's offense.

[red]

yikes, adams hurt

limped off

and right back in

[mraynrand]

APB - there's your guy! Pencil Legs!

[ThunderDan]

Let’s get a beer list.

Drinking Fantasy Factory by Karben4.

[red]

another terrible pass to a wide open guy

[Bretsky]

Trevor Davis IMO gets open better than Allison and Kumerow for sure

[pbmax]

Our OC needs to find ways to get Jones some success

Contact O line coach.

[channtheman]

Offense way bettter with Aaron Jones

But better than crap is... what?

[mraynrand]

If there’s a flag every play, maybe there’s too many rules. Just a thought.

You get a lot of flags in the first preseason games...

[red]

Let’s get a beer list.

Drinking Fantasy Factory by Karben4.

labatt blue light

imported all the way from canada

[Bretsky]

would LOVE to get a FG

[esoxx]

If there’s a flag every play, maybe there’s too many rules. Just a thought.

And yet, every offseason the Competition Committee meets to come up with MORE rules. It's a thrill a minute watching these refs enforce all the rules.

[Bretsky]

Contact O line coach.


and who do we call out for Delay of Game ?

[red]

close to LOS

[pbmax]

OK. OK.

[Bretsky]

HUGE play

[ThunderDan]

Huge first down. Let’s get some points.

[red]

It's a thrill a minute watching these refs enforce all the rules.

a-men

[pbmax]

Mercedes needs to readjust to back shoulder throw after last year of never being in a route.

[Bretsky]

Jordy Nelson makes that catch

[Rastak]

Huge first down. Let’s get some points.


Any points would be big now.

[red]

have all the catches gone to TE's?

[ThunderDan]

I hate the fake horns that stadiums pipe in.

[Bretsky]

I loved Roquan Smith coming out of college as much as Odelll Smash Mouth Thurman

I still love Roquan Smith as a player

[Rastak]

Slight foul there....lol

[red]

Mercedes needs to readjust to back shoulder throw after last year of never being in a route.

i think he's just too big and maybe old to turn around that fast

[pbmax]

PI or I riot.

[mraynrand]

Jordy Nelson makes that catch

Sure, but you never get that coverage on Nelson to begin with! :)

[channtheman]

Nice drive. Would like a FG. Obviously, would love a TD. And Rodgers is sacked again... so tired of seeing that. Well, we should have a first down for defensive holding. Or illegal contact.

[George Cumby]

Rolling out to avoid pressure. How innovative.

[Bretsky]

SAVES Arod from a horrible play taking a sack there

[pbmax]

Jordy Nelson makes that catch

Love to see him block Mack though.

[red]

I loved Roquan Smith coming out of college as much as Odelll Smash Mouth Thurman

I still love Roquan Smith as a player

ditto

just a hard nosed football player

[mraynrand]

I hate the fake horns that stadiums pipe in.

agree

[Bretsky]

Love to see him block Mack though.


Bet he does better than Jimmy Graham :)

[George Cumby]

Best part of the game is watching the Chicago crowd reaction shots.

[mraynrand]

SAVES Arod from a horrible play taking a sack there

the contact saved a TD

[Bretsky]

Jamal Willliams...............ahhhhhhhhh

[red]

wow

talk about shooting the hole

[esoxx]

LaFleur is Stubbyesque having only one time out left as this game nears crunch time.

[channtheman]

Kick or go? Gotta take the points, right?

[Bretsky]

Field Goal

[Rastak]

LaFleur is Stubbyesque having only one time out left as this game nears crunch time.


Not a reach.

[Bretsky]

MONEY

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great drive

[pbmax]

Operation working well.

[red]

I hate the fake horns that stadiums pipe in.

packers doing it this year too

its this sound


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzY099ihULs

[ThunderDan]

Big FG. Good drive.

[beveaux1]

Double figures!

[Harlan Huckleby]

dagger

[Fosco33]

Let’s do it D!

[pbmax]

Why is Darrel Bevel painting Lambeau?

[ThunderDan]

packers doing it this year too

Only 1st preseason game. Didn’t use it during the 2nd.

[pbmax]

packers doing it this year too

Nope. Dumped them for second preseason game apparently.

[gbgary]

got 3. that's something. ate up some clock. D got a rest.

[mraynrand]

LaFleur is Stubbyesque having only one time out left as this game nears crunch time.

none, actually

[mraynrand]

now four down territory for Bears.

[George Cumby]

Points is points I guess

[red]

Only 1st preseason game. Didn’t use it during the 2nd.

good to know

[pbmax]

C'mon D!

[pittstang5]

Cmon Defense....need that turnover

[channtheman]

Come on D, stiffen up.

[pbmax]

No blitzing and rushing four. Coverage play.

[Rastak]

This is one of those things where do the Bears suck or does the GB defense get all the credit?

Not sure.

[mraynrand]

none, actually

oops. 1

[Bretsky]

C'mon D!

RUSH THE PASSER

Is Gary injured or playing ?

[ThunderDan]

Was he really out of bounds.

[pbmax]

Threw right behind the blitz.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Whats with the prevent d?

[channtheman]

I don’t like this drive... Bears are starting to feel it.

[Rastak]

Nice pass....

[pbmax]

There was pressure by Dr.Zaius

[Bretsky]

duck

[channtheman]

RUSH THE PASSER

Is Gary injured or playing ?

Probably being held out for the preseason.

[gbgary]

time for a turnover

[Rastak]

Looked OB

[red]

wow

[pbmax]

Good challenge.

[Bretsky]

NO CATCH

[channtheman]

What call was that? He was out of bounds CLEARLY!

[Harlan Huckleby]

bullshit

[mraynrand]

that's it for challenges for 2:10

[Bretsky]

I'm truly asking cause I have not seen his number on the field. I thought he was active.

[Fosco33]

Home refs?

[esoxx]

Honestly, how does a ref miss something that obvious.

[gbgary]

that wasn't even close.

[channtheman]

So, it will be 3rd and 10?

[channtheman]

I'm truly asking cause I have not seen his number on the field. I thought he was active.

I haven’t seen him either.

[Bretsky]

ALEXANDER.....he's going to be a great player

[mraynrand]

RUSH THE PASSER

Is Gary injured or playing ?

not that I've seen. Inactive?

[Rastak]

Sorry, was distracted, did they actually call him in on replay?

[Bretsky]

I haven’t seen him either.



Would be nice to have Brian Burns in ambushing Mitch right now

[ThunderDan]

3rd and 10.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

What call was that? He was out of bounds CLEARLY!

Homefield refs, i think.

[esoxx]

I mean, they can see a slight hold or some other minor infraction through a maze of bodies but can't tell the guy has only one foot down in plain sight. WTF

[Cheesehead Craig]

Shit. 8 in coverage.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Caperseque

[pbmax]

3 man rush, 8 in coverage and a hole in zone that big.
