The Official Packers Bears Game Day Thread

[ThunderDan]

The Packers and their arch-rival the Chicago Bears meet today on the hallowed ground of Lambeau Field. This is going to be the Packers first real test in a while after playing two cupcakes in NY and Wash.

The Packers D should be able to limit the Bears O and Turdbiscuit. If the O can play within the game plan and go for first downs and sustained drives we should be able to wear down the Bears D.

After the dust settles the Packers win 20 - 10.

Obligatory game day post.

[George Cumby]

I have no idea about this team or this game.

[Joemailman]

If the Packers defense keeps Trubisky from extending plays with his legs, they will win.

[The Shadow]

The Pack needs to designate a Trubisky spy to clog the lane he boots to. If they do that - and have somehow learned how to cover a shallow-to-medium crossing route, they will be fine.

[red]

I have no idea about this team or this game.

welcome to the club

[red]

should be an interesting game, the bears and their fans say they are all fired up because if they win out and every other team in the nfl loses all the rest of their games, then they might make the playoffs

should be an interesting game

tell you one thing, its cold as shit today. like single digits in GB

[KYPack]

Start drinkin' Red.

My brother thinks Jonesy will have a big day and we ground out a win.

I hope he's right, it'd be a first for him.

[Zool]

Is Akim Hicks back today?

The NFL channel said it was 17, my brother said it is 9, which is it, guys?

Both guys that were added to the roster to be backup T's are inactive today, Nijiman and Vanderhere or what ever ya call 'em.

I'd like one of those guys to get game reps, so we can see how bad they are.

[Joemailman]

The Packers inactives:

WR Ryan Grant
RB Dexter Williams
CB Tony Brown
CB Ka’dar Hollman
OT Jared Veldheer
OT Yosh Nijman
LB B.J. Goodson

[pittstang5]

I think we're in for another head scratcher of a game, this time I don't think the Pack comes out on top. Too many things going right for the Bears lately. I think the Pack will it keep it close since it's at home, but I think Bears will get a 10 pt lead early and Pack is playing catch up the rest of the game.

Hope I'm wrong.

[Fritz]

I'm with you here. This game just has "stink" emanating from it.

I see BJ Goodson is inactive. Was he on any injury reports, or are the Packers going to finally see what they have or don't have in Oral Burks? With the Bears running the ball, you'd think Goodson would've been active. He can't move quick, but he's a thumper in the middle against the run.

[ThunderDan]

Just looked at the Bears schedule. Their only signature win was beating the Vikings early in the season.

While they have been “rolling”, they have beaten the Lions twice and the Giants.

Very similar to the level of teams the Pack has played the last 2 weeks.

Goodson may not be grading out very well. If that's the case, Campbell may play the middle.

Yeah, but the games where we think we’re gonna struggle are usually the ones where we blow the other team out

I'm in Appleton. It was 7 an hour ago.

[bobblehead]

I hope it's ThunderDan.

Sadly I don't think so.....but I love being wrong

[ThunderDan]

Jackson with a ST tackle.

[ThunderDan]

Kenny Clark says sit down.

[ThunderDan]

Clark with another run stop in the middle.

[beveaux1]

Amos with a play.

[ThunderDan]

Good pass defense in the flats.

[beveaux1]

Good D.

[beveaux1]

We have a punt returner.

[red]

nice stop

jesus, its a noon game and the whole field is in a shadow

another nice return

[ThunderDan]

Good job D and another positive punt return.

[Gotarace]

Nice Start ...they are containing the Turd-Burglar and keeping him in the center of the field

[beveaux1]

Scantling with a short arm.

[ThunderDan]

Sorry, that is on MVS. Beautiful ball.

[Gotarace]

Scandling with Alligator Arms....Come on

[red]

wtf was that

extend your damn arms

he just missed the ball

[esoxx]

Pathetic effort by MVS

[ThunderDan]

Good throw and route for the 1st down.

[beveaux1]

One trick pony has probably shot his wad.

[Bretsky]

Sorry, that is on MVS. Beautiful ball.


GREAT PASS

Shit play by MVS

Another example of why we are so desperate to find another WR

[red]

he has no problem throwing to adams when he's covered

[Bretsky]

Jimmy.....what a disappointment

[red]

its cold as shit, so of course we come out throwing

cause, why not?

[Zool]

Vagina Scalding still sucks.

[pittstang5]

If that's Lazard - he makes that catch

[ThunderDan]

ARod with the wrist band of plays.

[Bretsky]

And there is Alligator Allison

[beveaux1]

They really need to replace Allison.

[red]

gotta catch that

[Gotarace]

And now I'm see why it is a Adams ...Lazard show in our Receiving
Corps

[red]

ARod with the wrist band of plays.

did he stop wearing that, or has he been using it this whole time?

[Bretsky]

Allison reminds me of Ruvell Martin in that.......he just doesn't seem to have enought talent to where you really want him in our top 5 WR's

[yetisnowman]

Trash receivers doing trash things. Same story. Fucking inexcuseable from these 2 bums.

[pittstang5]

Ugh

[beveaux1]

he has no problem throwing to adams when he's covered

Doesn't mind throwing to Adams cause he usually catches it.

[Bretsky]

They really need to replace Allison.

yup

[beveaux1]

Three beautiful throws---two drops.

[Fosco33]

I miss Cobb over Allison

[ThunderDan]

Clark with another run stuff.

[Gotarace]

Kenny Clark is playing at Contract year Level now...

[beveaux1]

Clark is on fire.

[ThunderDan]

Clark is a monster. Adds the sack.

[red]

clarks a bit motivated today for some reason

[beveaux1]

When we play a crap offense, our defense looks special.

[ThunderDan]

Dominant 3 and out for the D.

[red]

jesus

[red]

it was a mistake to put st brown on IR for the year

[Gotarace]

Ervin hurt already...and the special team spark goes out

[pittstang5]

Why is T-Williams returning punts

[beveaux1]

Tramon probably gone for the game. Get ready for Jackson.

[ThunderDan]

Wow, is that not a textbook leasing with the crown of your helmet on top of destroying a returner who has already signaled for a fair catch?

[pittstang5]

Good grief!!! T-Wil hurt now

[beveaux1]

Don't know who returns punts.

[Fosco33]

Bears playing like dirty bitches already. Time to punch them back a couple times.

[KYPack]

jesus

Yes?

[Fosco33]

Right. Irving has had great returns so far...

[ThunderDan]

Great Dean, but it was leading with the crown of the helmet.

[red]

why would he not call for a fair catch on a short high kick?

[red]

Great Dean, but it was leading with the crown of the helmet.

thats only a penalty sometimes

like when the game is on the line

[HarveyWallbangers]

Announcers suck. Last I knew, you can't lower your head and hit the returner with the crown of your helmet.

[pittstang5]

pissed away great field position yet again

[red]

good god

ALMOST FOOLED THEM THAT TIME

:roll:

[Gotarace]

take the points for fuck sake

[beveaux1]

Ballsy play! TD!!

[ThunderDan]

pissed away great field position yet again

Or TD to Adams,

[red]

why not have a play ready to run the first time so you don't have to piss away a TO?

nice TD

but again, 4th and 5 and we went for the long TD instead. bit worrying, but it worked this time

[pittstang5]

Ok - I'll take it, but didn't like the call

[beveaux1]

All I could think was...don't throw it to Allison.

[beveaux1]

Rodgers has been pinpoint today.

[pittstang5]

All I could think was...don't throw it to Allison.

Or MVS or Graham

[Fosco33]

why not have a play ready to run the first time so you don't have to piss away a TO?

nice TD

but again, 4th and 5 and we went for the long TD instead. bit worrying, but it worked this time

Did AR see something he liked but couldn’t audible. Or was it draw offsides try the whole time.

Nice play/ throw and catch. Gute needs to help AR for a bit to make a superb owl quality offense.

[Gotarace]

why not have a play ready to run the first time so you don't have to piss away a TO?

nice TD

but again, 4th and 5 and we went for the long TD instead. bit worrying, but it worked this time
I think rodgers seen something in their formation on the fourth down leading to going for it...

[Fosco33]

Announcers suck. Dude leads w/ crown of helmet and you are allowed a yard to catch it. Fricken homer bears.

[red]

ah, now i understand the call

haha, was covering deep and half assing it

[pittstang5]

horrible kick off

[red]

Rodgers has been pinpoint today.

except the throw where he overthrew graham by 10 yards and threw a little high to allison

[pittstang5]

T-Wil in concussion protocol, so he's done for the day. Great, just great

[ThunderDan]

Lancaster with the stop.

[beveaux1]

Defense crushes weak offense.

[red]

well, bears uptempo sucks lol

our whole d saw that one coming

[Gotarace]

Packer making the Turd-Burglar win it with his arm...No Run For You...

[ThunderDan]

Great up tempo play call there CHI.

Packers D with a 3 and out.

[red]

its either windy, or way colder then they announced, cause that ball is being kicked like a cinder block

[beveaux1]

Allison almost dropped it.

[ThunderDan]

Great 5 yard throw and 8 yard gain on first down.

[red]

Packer making the Turd-Burglar win it with his arm...No Run For You...

thats the smart thing to do

[Gotarace]

Williams does not = Jones

[beveaux1]

Williams is valuable.

[red]

Williams does not = Jones

yeah, but he's a damn good second option

[ThunderDan]

Great tackle HaHa t yards down the field.

[George Cumby]

I'm stuck with Seahags and Carolina on Hulu so listening to WTMJ. I love those guys.

[red]

theres a nice play

[ThunderDan]

Packer O looks good run quick hitters.

[red]

man, they are just going after haha and that side of the field

[red]

Packer O looks good run quick hitters.

it works great when they run it

just run that all the time, and sprinkle in the deep throws

[Gotarace]

man, they are just going after haha and that side of the field
Smart...go after a Known Weakest Link

[beveaux1]

We're winning down and distance. Spreading the ball around. Running about 50% of the time.

[pittstang5]

Taking what the defense gives ya. small dink and dunk works.Puts them in 3rd and short instead of 3rd and long. Much more manageable for this team.

[beveaux1]

Could have been picked.

[red]

forced that throw

[beveaux1]

First bad pass.

[ThunderDan]

He had him and had the run also.

[Gotarace]

2 piss poor passes in a row...run the rock rodgers

[red]

terrible, just terrible

take the fucking first down

[pittstang5]

...and then they go away from the short stuff

[red]

First bad pass.

2nd

[pittstang5]

I think Tonyan screwed up on that 3rd down

[beveaux1]

That ball is cold. There will be some drops.

[ThunderDan]

Turdbiscuit just isn’t a good thrower.

[yetisnowman]

4 and 4 from 40 punt? I dont really get it. And of course scott nets us 25 yds. I know that was an analytically dumb play.

[red]

balls slick

i don't know what the hell the nfl is looking at, but accuweather has the temp at 12 with a real feel of 6

[Joemailman]

I think Tonyan screwed up on that 3rd down

Yes he did.

[ThunderDan]

Holding Bears.

[red]

I think Tonyan screwed up on that 3rd down

not as much as rodgers did by not taking the easy 15 yard scramble that the bears were giving him

[Gotarace]

bring that shit back

[ThunderDan]

Holding Bears.

Nope. Illegal down field.

[Gotarace]

Love the way the Defense is Sticking the Bears today

[red]

good job charles, they are called plastic whistles

or metal whistles with a rubber coating

space age, high tech shit right there

[yetisnowman]

That ball is cold. There will be some drops.

Our receivers dropped some in California too. They just kind of suck.

[Gotarace]

And the middle of the field is uncovered again

[red]

stadium is too quiet

too much heavy clothing muffling the sound

[ThunderDan]

Savage left the TE to cover the up receiver. TE wide open for the first.

[red]

amos lucky he didn't just get a flag

[Gotarace]

Damn who steps in for Martenez?

[red]

so we just lost out only ILB

are we gonna go from running a 3-3 to a 3-2?

[beveaux1]

Martinez hurt is a concern. No other ILB active.

[ThunderDan]

Hope Martinez is ok. He is all we have in the middle.

[beveaux1]

Burks may have to play. Uh Oh.

[red]

Damn who steps in for Martenez?

burks is the only other option, unless we just go all DB's

if it isn't burkes, then we can officially call him a draft bust

[red]

preston can cover a bit

maybe he moves to the middle and fackerell or gary comes in for him

nope its burks, and he just ran right past the ball carrier on the first play

[ThunderDan]

Love that, Burks doesn’t play much D. Mostly Special teams,

[beveaux1]

Thanks, Trubisky.

[gbgary]

the middle is really going to be vulnerable without Martinez

[red]

king got beat, lucky turbo sucks

[ThunderDan]

Good call by the ref. Definitely out of bounds.

[red]

knee landed out, almost an amazing catch

[red]

come on guys, go back to what was working

[red]

wide open on a comeback, great route

[ThunderDan]

Adams is good. Completely turned the DB around.

[red]

while a-rod was just yelling "cleveland", did i heard someone yell out, "yeah its in ohio"?

lol

[ThunderDan]

Aaron Jones in left flat would have gone for a lot. Still like the short throw.

[gbgary]

come oooon. get back to small ball.

[Gotarace]

WTF Arron put some air under that ball

[red]

WTF was that

and if jones had run a slant instead of an out, the whole middle was wide open

[Gotarace]

And the game is getting Ugly Quick.

[red]

thats fucking terrible

3rd and 4th and 5 and we went deep both times and didn't even come close

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers looks like garbage week after week.

[beveaux1]

Bears can play D too.

[pittstang5]

WTF!!!!

Play Small BALL!!!!!!!

[beveaux1]

You can see why Rodgers rarely throws to the middle.

[beveaux1]

He's really not too good at it.

[Bretsky]

burks is the only other option, unless we just go all DB's

if it isn't burkes, then we can officially call him a draft bust


NO WAY RED

We have to give our draft picks three full years to suck ass before we can call them a bust :)))

[red]

NO WAY RED

We have to give our draft picks three full years to suck ass before we can call them a bust :)))

i'm more of a glass is fully empty kind of guy

i say they suck until they prove me wrong

it only took jerrett bush like 6 years to not suck

terrible coverage

[SMBASS]

This O is frustrating to watch. No rhythm, continuity, or sense of purpose as to what they are trying to do. Then a stupid penalty or dropped pass stops half of the drives.

[yetisnowman]

Most of the last 5-6 weeks I kind of convince myself early that the offense has/will find a consistent rhythm throughout the game. And like clockwork, about 5 minutes into the game I remember how janky this O actually is.

[beveaux1]

King took out Miller's shoulder.

[pittstang5]

UGH!!!!

[Teamcheez1]

Trubisky easily outplaying Rodgers.

[beveaux1]

Great sack by Gary.

[ThunderDan]

Gary with the sack. Fritz will be proud, haha haha.

[red]

This O is frustrating to watch. No rhythm, continuity, or sense of purpose as to what they are trying to do. Then a stupid penalty or dropped pass stops half of the drives.

thats the big problem with the O

we will get TD's throwing nothing but the long ball, but we get no rhythm or consistency at all

GARY sighting. good motor there, kept fighting

[beveaux1]

Gary playing better as the season goes on. Just not enough.

[pbmax]

Someone check on Fritz.

[yetisnowman]

Wow. Nice play Gary.

[red]

a fat ditka smoking a stogie in the stands. that aint legal

[beveaux1]

Gary just not quite as good as Fackrell, but he's gaining.
Fackrell will be in another uniform next year.

[ThunderDan]

a fat ditka smoking a stogie in the stands. that aint legal

Got on camera and gets kicked out. Gets to watch the 2nd half from the bar.

[pittstang5]

Cmon Defense...need a turnover or a stop

[ThunderDan]

Savage could of had it. But good stop by the D.

[red]

damnit. gotta grab those

right in his hands

[beveaux1]

Good blitz by Sullivan.

[pittstang5]

OH!!! Savage....Damn, we needed that!!!

[red]

Savage could of had it. But good stop by the D.

actually a really bad drive by the d, they just stiffened up at just the right time

[SMBASS]

This D has dropped a lot of interception opportunities this year. Must be picking up bad habits from watching our receiving corp. in practice all the time.

[pittstang5]

Alright Offense...GET SOMETHING GOING!!!!

[gbgary]

was that a drone shot of the stadium just now?

[beveaux1]

Best returner this year.

[red]

GREAT RETURN!!!!!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

Ervin can returns kicks.

[Gotarace]

Great Return

[red]

Best returner this year.

its not even close

give the guy a multi year deal asap

[pittstang5]

NOW STOP PISSING AWAY GOOD FIELD POSITION!!!!

[red]

Ervin can returns kicks.

almost forgot what a real return looks like

[beveaux1]

He loves the sidelines.

[ThunderDan]

Huge 1st down catch by Lazard.

[red]

well there was a dumb play call

[ThunderDan]

Wow, my son just brought me a beer without being asked.

Intentional grounding.

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers absolute garbage.

[pittstang5]

Ugh...graham is useless

[red]

our time management is still dog shit

grounding

just fucking dumb. its like we shoved our heads up our asses at the 1 minute mark

[Gotarace]

I Swear Danica has Fucked the Brains out of Rodgers sometimes

[ThunderDan]

We really didn’t have that much time to have a 10 second scramble drill.

[pittstang5]

Pissed away again...broken record

[Fosco33]

At least we have those two timeouts...

[red]

Wow, my son just brought me a beer without being asked.

Intentional grounding.

thats the sign of a good kid

my dad had me trained when i was about 2 or so

[ThunderDan]

No need for a Hail Mary.

[beveaux1]

What a stupid play.

[red]

thats just beyond stupid

just fucking terrible

[Teamcheez1]

We crossed the 50 four times and only got 7 points . Rodgers and the offense are terrible.

[Fosco33]

Huh

[red]

just fucking go down with in before you hand it to the bears for a TD

[ThunderDan]

All I could think is we are going to toss that Int away with all the laterals and CHI is going to score.

[Joemailman]

What were they thinking? Did MLF know there were 9 seconds left?

[beveaux1]

Can't kick much more than a 40 yd FG in these conditions. Makes going for it the proper play.

[pittstang5]

Fuckin Stupid

[SMBASS]

I know this isn't a popular sentiment but I'm starting to wonder if it's time to see what kind of a haul we could get for Rodgers after this year. He doesn't have the best supporting cast due to completely neglecting trying to add playmakers to the O for years but he's been, "average" for quite a while now and time is starting to catch up with him.

[beveaux1]

Lack of playmakers really hurting this offense.

[Gotarace]

I know this isn't a popular sentiment but I'm starting to wonder if it's time to see what kind of a haul we could get for Rodgers after this year. He doesn't have the best supporting cast due to completely neglecting trying to add playmakers to the O for years but he's been, "average" for quite a while now and time is starting to catch up with him.

Contract makes it pretty impossible. We passed that option when Rodgers was re-signed.

[TravisWilliams23]

Jimmy Graham shouldn't see the field again in this game. MLF isn't a game manager. Thank God the Bears are playing like the Bears on offense.

[JohnMexico]

MLF isnt a good play caller because Aaron Rodgers looked washed.

He is not even as quick mentally.

[beveaux1]

Jimmy Graham shouldn't see the field again in this game. MLF isn't a game manager. Thank God the Bears are playing like the Bears on offense.

Haven't really seen any Graham gaffs. He is what he is, an average TE with minimal blocking skills. Overpaid, but that's not his fault.

[ThunderDan]

We need to come out and score to start the 2nd half.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Seems to have been a lot of plays left out there so far. Should have at least 17 pts so far.

[beveaux1]

Haven't really seen any Graham gaffs. He is what he is, an average TE with minimal blocking skills. Overpaid, but that's not his fault.

He's also marginally better than anyone we have at catching the ball.

[beveaux1]

Good return.

[ThunderDan]

Kick return past the 25.

[Gotarace]

Dix Smoked

[gbgary]

a slant. it's a miracle!

[beveaux1]

Adams is all we have on offense. They've taken away Jones.

[Teamcheez1]

5th time we have crossed the 50.

[ThunderDan]

Great run by ARod.

[Gotarace]

Nice Run Jones

[red]

Contract makes it pretty impossible. We passed that option when Rodgers was re-signed.

Yup

His cap hit would be 54 million next year if we cut or traded him

His cap hit after next year would be 22 million if cut or traded, against a normal cap number of around 33 million

[beveaux1]

TD Jones!

[George Cumby]

Boom.

[gbgary]

he just scores touchdowns!

[ThunderDan]

That is exactly what we needed to start the 2nd half.

[Joemailman]

We need to come out and score to start the 2nd half.
Okay.

[Teamcheez1]

Finally!!!!

[Gotarace]

It's Time for Gary to take over the Game

[pittstang5]

Great drive!
