Official Packers vs Bears Game Day Thread - Part 1

[ThunderDan]

Packers are coming off the bye and have the remaining 8 weeks set-up in front for a deep playoff run. But first, the Packers need to focus 1 week at a time. And this week is the Bears.

The Bears were completely devoid of talent a few years ago. They have had a couple of good drafts and have started adding talent. They won a few games at the end of last year and all of a Chicago thought they were ready for the playoffs this year with the #1 QB in the draft.

Today the Packers can really dent that dream and as we have seen the last few weeks the Bears aren’t ready for the playoffs. Let’s keep helping Chicago spiral to the drain. It will be great seeing the Bears have to completely change coaching staffs again.

As they say, the more things change the more they stay the same. We are a few years into the MLF era but we still own the Bears.

Go Pack Go!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I was gonna watch this game from Milwaukee while grinding away at the poker tables, but a bout of diarrhea changed the plan. Slept in.

Hopefully the Mobsters of the Midway’s game today stink worse than my shit.

Packers 48
Mobsters of the Midway 0

[bobblehead]

Packers should win this one pretty easy, but things I will watch. Is Love lining up in shotgun all fucking game and making the most effective thing in football (play action) irrelevant? Can the middle manned by Rhyan and Myers hold up.

Haven't looked at inactives, but praying Williams is back. He kinda seems to be the glue. Will also be watching how the front works with Preston gone. Hoping they all step up and Van Ness doesn't continue to look like an epic draft blunder.

[George Cumby]

Packers win.

[Joemailman]

Inactives:

Green Bay Packers

22 CB Robert Rochell
27 S Kitan Oladapo
79 T Travis Glover

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[MadtownPacker]

When we talked about the schedule during the off-season I really like the way the bye fell right into the middle. Good thing cause the team needed it badly. Even better there’s a lot of NFC North battles and the division can be won with a strong finish. Maybe it’s better if the bears don’t roll over so easily. That way the Packers have to earn it.


Packers 31 - da bears 13

[Fosco33]

Packers should dominate. Anything other than that is stalling.

[ThunderDan]

Really good vision by Jacobs to bounce that outside.

[ThunderDan]

Looked like good movement by Love on that scramble and throw.

[ThunderDan]

Huge hole on that run by the OL.

[ThunderDan]

Is the Bears DL that bad or is our OL that good?

[ThunderDan]

TD Pack. That looked so easy.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Great start.

[MadScientist]

Fast, efficient TD drive. Just how the Packers are supposed to start games. Now the D needs to step up and give them no hope.

[ThunderDan]

Engabare starting opposite Gary.

[red]

great opening drive

[ThunderDan]

Gary gives up contain on the bootleg but Williams misses the WR.

[Teamcheez1]

Need better on defense.

[red]

Engabare starting opposite Gary.

his emergence is the reason we were ok letting preston go imo

the enigma is the real deal

[red]

Gary gives up contain on the bootleg but Williams misses the WR.

yeah, he was crashing in hard

[ThunderDan]

Cox making a play that Preston hasn’t made all year.

[red]

cox with a great play

we might have gotten better by letting smith leave

lots of nice young talent

LVN not included

[ThunderDan]

Love threw one away. Yeah.

[Teamcheez1]

Let that roll out of bounce.

[ThunderDan]

3 and out D.

[ThunderDan]

Shoot, let the Bears off the hook.

[Teamcheez1]

Defense not playing that well considering the Bears offense.

[ThunderDan]

Van Ness if you are coming hard up field you have to hit the guy coming across and not let him run passed you while giving up the edge.

[MadScientist]

Stupid penalty, but that was a flop.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Great flop job by Williams. Learned the art from LeBron while he was at USC.

[ThunderDan]

That is not roughing. Period, end of story.

That being said, no need to touch him there are give the refs a chance to make a ridiculous call.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Stupid penalty, but that was a flop.

Where the fuck is red to remind us how American football is starting to be flop-pussy like his beloved soccer?

[ThunderDan]

Cox with a sack.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Nobody knows who the fuck 57 is, not even the Bears.

[ThunderDan]

Nobody knows who the fuck 57 is, not even the Bears.

Fuckdoggle.

[ThunderDan]

Good throw but better protection.

[Teamcheez1]

Great pass blocking.

[MadScientist]

Doubs needs to catch that.

[Teamcheez1]

Drop.

[ThunderDan]

Please punt.

[MadScientist]

Wow that 'draw them offsides on 4th a short play' actually worked.

[ThunderDan]

Please punt.

Glad we got the penalty.

[red]

thank the idiot bears fans for screaming their heads off and causing their team to jump early

[MadScientist]

Did Brooks find a tear-away jersey from the 70's?

[ThunderDan]

Did Brooks find a tear-away jersey from the 70's?

It was his undershirt and not the jersey.

[red]

fuck the jet sweep

[Teamcheez1]

Stupid play call that close to the end zone.

[ThunderDan]

Such a crap call near the goal line.

[MadScientist]

FUCK!

[King Friday]

I’m good with never doing a jet sweep ever again.

[red]

wtf

[Teamcheez1]

Love and MLF not getting it done.

[King Friday]

Horrible red zone offense. What a joke.

[ThunderDan]

Love has got to learn to make better decisions. He is giving away points.

He fucked up on that throw. He also fucked up on 2 and 1 with the RPO that he held and got an illegal man down field.

2 bonehead plays by your QB in the red zone.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Love and MLF not getting it done.

Should I stop calling Love “The Lovemaker?”

[Teamcheez1]

Horrible red zone offense. What a joke.

There’s a reason we’re ranked 29th in red zone offense.

[bobblehead]

As I was saying. Its the red zone picks that really hurt.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Love has got to learn to make better decisions. He is giving away points.

He fucked up on that throw. He also fucked up on 2 and 1 with the RPO that he held and got an illegal man down field.

2 bonehead plays by your QB I’m the red zone.

Bert Favor 2.0.

[Teamcheez1]

Do we not realize that 90% of Williams throws are going to be within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage?

[ThunderDan]

Wilson with a great tackle. Huge hole that he plugged.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Jesus, Cooper ran a 4.5? He looks slow as fuck.

[Teamcheez1]

Williams outplaying Love so far.

[King Friday]

It must be nice to have a QB that will take free yardage when given.

[ThunderDan]

Fucking wrap up. Don’t throw yourself at the runner’s feet.

[ThunderDan]

Horrible red zone offense. What a joke.

Red zone is hard enough without your QB fucking up twice.

[Teamcheez1]

Williams will run for over 100 yards in this game.

[red]

Love has got to learn to make better decisions. He is giving away points.

He fucked up on that throw. He also fucked up on 2 and 1 with the RPO that he held and got an illegal man down field.

2 bonehead plays by your QB in the red zone.

at least brady called him out on his shit footwork instead of gushing like all the other. "he threw without having his feet set, SOOOOO cool"

brady said, "yeah, he overthrew it because he threw off his back foot"

[ThunderDan]

D needs to hold the Bears to 3 at most here.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

at least brady called him out on his shit footwork instead of gushing like all the other. "he threw without having his feet set, SOOOOO cool"

brady said, "yeah, he overthrew it because he threw off his back foot"

You Karen too much. :)

[smuggler]

It must be nice to have a QB that will take free yardage when given.

It's nice to have a quarterback who can run better than a 4.9s 40. If love could complete a 40 in better than 5 seconds today, I'd be surprised. Slowest player on the field.

[Teamcheez1]

What a shitty half of football on both sides of the ball.

[red]

jaire can fuck right off out of town as far as i'm concerned

should have cut him last year when he pulled his shit

[ThunderDan]

What a shitty half of football on both sides of the ball.

I don’t know. D seems to be ok. Not great but ok.

[red]

thats a TD

[ThunderDan]

Touchdown Bears.

[MadScientist]

This half has gone to shit.

[ThunderDan]

This half has gone to shit.

Yes it has.

[ThunderDan]

I hope Haley realizes the Bears are running a quick timing passing game and adjust to clog the lanes on the quick hitters.

[Teamcheez1]

I hope Haley realizes the Bears are running a quick timing passing game and adjust to clog the lanes on the quick hitters.

We are playing 5-10 yards off the receivers when every throw is near the line of scrimmage.

[ThunderDan]

I hope Haley realizes the Bears are running a quick timing passing game and adjust to clog the lanes on the quick hitters.

Hafley not Haley.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

This half has gone to shit.

Love hurts.

[ThunderDan]

Quay with a shit tackle on the TD.

[Teamcheez1]

I don’t know. D seems to be ok. Not great but ok.

The Bears are having more success on offense in one half than they have in the last three games.

[MadScientist]

They better make some fucking big half-time adjustments. They are blowing the whole season here with their crappy play today.

[Fosco33]

Our red zone offense seems pretty bad.

When will we start spying Caleb. His runs are all that’s happened.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Jesus, fans of NFC North teams all look alike: fat, ugly and lame.

[Teamcheez1]

We didn’t put out a $250M contract for mediocre play.

[ThunderDan]

The Bears are having more success on offense in one half than they have in the last three games.

That is because we are expecting the O they have been running. We haven’t figured out they are running a timing, quick throw O.

Everyone watching here knows it, but somehow our coaching staff couldn’t see it and change the play calls on D.

[King Friday]

Bears offense has been heavily simplified. If Hafley can’t figure out how to stymie it in the second half, the Packers have no hope for any significant playoff run this season.

[smuggler]

Pretty embarrassing performance against a terrible team. Why am I watching this shitshow?

[Rastak]

Jesus, fans of NFC North teams all look alike: fat, ugly and lame.

I've never met you Tank but I'll take your word brother.

[King Friday]

Jesus, fans of NFC North teams all look alike: fat, ugly and lame.

Your burger flipping contributes heavily to this situation.

[RandsRevenge]

We didn’t put out a $250M contract for mediocre play.

Who do the Packers think they are? Dallas? Cleveland?

[Teamcheez1]

The Packers will not win any games scoring 7 points per half.
Offense needs to figure it out.

[RandsRevenge]

I've never met you Tank but I'll take your word brother.

the mirror has two faces

[Teamcheez1]

Good to see we came out firing on all cylinders.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I've never met you Tank but I'll take your word brother.

Americans, especially midwesterners, are obese, myself included.

I find the SKOL chant to be as lame as the Go Pack Go chant and whatever lame chants Bears and Lions fans do.

[ThunderDan]

Quay gets through clean and wiffs.

[RandsRevenge]

I hope Haley realizes the Bears are running a quick timing passing game and adjust to clog the lanes on the quick hitters.

It's a new group; they may self-scout and go against tendency.

[Fritz]

Who do the Packers think they are? Dallas? Cleveland?

So this IS that game.

Sounds like both sides are playing uninspired football, to say the least.

[RandsRevenge]

I find the SKOL chant to be as lame as the Go Pack Go chant

They are but your shadowy reflection

[ThunderDan]

Quay gets through and slows down to let Williams get the ball off on 4th down.

Quay needs to be benched immediately. A complete suck ass game by #7.

[QBME]

Need a peel the paint off the walls diatribe at half time.
Not sure the Flower has it in him.

[Fosco33]

We’re playing to the bears level and game speed

[ThunderDan]

Thank god the D stiffened and held for a FG.

[Teamcheez1]

This is all about the offense now.

[Rastak]

the mirror has two faces

It does but that was not my position. So he can see his face and make that comment and I can see mine and not agree!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

They are but your shadowy reflection

Prof Rand?

[King Friday]

Time for the Packers to abandon the run game and regress even further on offense.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Love needs to stop killing momentum, time and space with dumb picks!

[RandsRevenge]

Sometimes when your QB is pressing, you have to take the decision out of his hands on certain critical downs, even if it means a running play and a FG attempt. Maybe even a more run-heavy offense for a while.

[King Friday]

Someone told Love to start running the ball if the pass isn’t there. Not sure why it took until now to reach that point.

[ThunderDan]

Good start to the drive. OL is starting to push the Bears around again.

[MadScientist]

That's more like it.

[ThunderDan]

Easy as a cake walk.

Keep this up O.

[King Friday]

Why can’t the offense look like that most of the time?

[Teamcheez1]

That’s what I’m talking about.
Impose your will on the other team.

[RandsRevenge]

Why can’t the offense look like that most of the time?

the other team gets paid too

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Why can’t the offense look like that most of the time?

Someone has been killing space, momentum and even time with dumb picks.

[ThunderDan]

That’s what I’m talking about.
Impose your will on the other team.

Exactly, Bears DL is “undersized”. Keep leaning on them.

[Fosco33]

Still don’t love running on 2nd and short but love doing it on 1st and goal.

For playing ‘meh’ - got the lead.

See if Defense can hold this vaunted Bears offense to a punt here…

[King Friday]

Jaire done for the day. Probably a good sign for the defense.

[Teamcheez1]

Why aren’t we pressing on 3rd and 4?

[Fritz]

Think if the Packeres had waited on the contract extension for Love. After this game, he might get burger-flippin' wages!

Also, it looks like Dontayvion Wicks is once again a ghost.

[ThunderDan]

Quay in coverage. Yeah a plus play for Quay.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Jesus, does Haffuck have a blitz in his playbook?

[Teamcheez1]

How many quick outs or screens have the Bears thrown?

[ThunderDan]

Cooper gets through and stuffs the RB short of the first.

[Teamcheez1]

Pathetic.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Thunder has got a point regarding 9.

[ThunderDan]

Quay wiffs on 4th down against Williams.

Bench his ass,

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Pathetic.

Walker has got to make a play on 18.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Rookie QB and no blitzes. Dumb.

[Fosco33]

This defense isn’t doing much to inspire confidence

[MadScientist]

Motherfucking defense.

[red]

make saleh the DC, this is pathetic defense

[Teamcheez1]

Defense has been bad.

[King Friday]

Embarrassing defensive play. The Bears are not even trying to attack downfield, and we can’t stop them.

[Guiness]

Myers take some grief in this forum put he made a was key block on that TD, and another on the previous drive before the half that ended with the INT.

[ThunderDan]

Well at least Williams went up at full speed and got blocked by the pulling tackle.

Both the end and OLB got wiped out of the play with no effort.

[King Friday]

Myers is an average player. He makes some good plays, he makes some bad plays. He’s not worth investing in long term.

[Teamcheez1]

Nice to see MLF yelling at the defense.

I’m hoping something like “you f’ing suck”

[red]

that was a hell of a play by watson

[ThunderDan]

I get about putting the D slanted to 1 side of the other. But the Packers are picking the Bears apart with the run. 1 DL on the right side of the center and Jacobs cuts back to the right for a 15 yard gain.

[Teamcheez1]

that was a hell of a play by watson

Nice to see him using his size and strength.

[King Friday]

If a jet sweep is called, someone needs to rip the play call charts out of MLFs hands.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Which one of you dumbasses said the Packers shoulda draft Tyquan Thornton instead of the D-3 school Watson?

[Teamcheez1]

I don’t like running twice from the 8.

[Teamcheez1]

More crappy red zone offense.
When is MLF going to figure it out????

Love also needs to throw the damn ball.
This game is all on the offense so far.
14 points into the 4th qtr.

[MadScientist]

Fuck. Nothing in the red zone again.

[King Friday]

Wow. No belief in the defense, clearly.

[ThunderDan]

Good for MLF to go for it. Too bad the O couldn’t convert.

The D has to get a 3 and out here and give us good field position.

[King Friday]

Kick the FG.

[Fosco33]

2 red zone turnovers

[Guiness]

Take the fg there.

[Teamcheez1]

Why not kick the FG?

[King Friday]

Make it a 2 point game. Bears red zone defense too good to come away without points and force you to STILL need a TD.

[Teamcheez1]

Here comes another 2 yard pass.

[RandsRevenge]

Kick the FG.

red zone TOs are killer. No points. But the math was against the packers as a Chi TD after made FG gives a two score lead.

[ThunderDan]

Fucking D. That kills us. 3 more minutes and not getting the ball around midfield.

[Teamcheez1]

Have we had a 3 and out in the second half?

[King Friday]

Packers deserve to lose this game. Running the ball at will, but can’t figure out how to make that work offensively. MLF is becoming a hindrance.

[Fosco33]

One sack. One punt. Losing ToP, yards, points, etc.

Need a turnover or punt asap

[Teamcheez1]

Shades of Barry defense.

[MadScientist]

What the fuck is wrong with this defense?

[Teamcheez1]

This is the best we can do coming off a bye week?

[Fritz]

It's officially a shit show.

[Teamcheez1]

Bears are 9-14 on 3rd down conversions.

[Fosco33]

From 2nd long to 3rd and short. Thanks zebras

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Obvious false start. No call.

[ThunderDan]

Valentine is aggressive but he needs to wrap up when he tackles. That’s twice to day he has missed a sure fire TFL.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

It's officially a shit show.

Ever had diarrhea?

[ThunderDan]

Don’t move.

[smuggler]

Probably premature to swap to a 4-3. We don't have a replacement for Gary and Van Ness doesn't have it.

[Teamcheez1]

Thank god they didn’t actually go for it.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

A’rite. Let’s go make some fucking Love.

[Teamcheez1]

TD or bust.

[Teamcheez1]

I think it’s a catch.

[ThunderDan]

That was DPI no matter what happens on the review.

The Bear player slipped and grabbed Watson.

[Guiness]

I was just going to post time for Love to earn that money.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I think it’s a catch.

If that ain’t a catch, nothing’s a catch.

[Fosco33]

Ball doesn’t move. That’s a catch

[Anti-Polar Bear]

FUCK IT IN!!!

[red]

the ball doesn't hit the ground, both hands are under it, how is it taking this long to look at it?

fuck dan blandino talking bout did he control it. THE BALL DIDN"T HIT THE GROUND

[Teamcheez1]

TD

[red]

isn't that a TD?

goal line goes to infinity or whatever

[MadScientist]

Stupid challenge. The ball didn't get in.

[Guiness]

As they are on the 15, tell me again why they didn’t kick that fg from the 6?

[ThunderDan]

Not sure I like challenge even if he was in.

[Fosco33]

Lame challenge.

[Teamcheez1]

I think the groin is ok.

[ThunderDan]

QB sneak. We finally went under C at the goal line.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Life’s a drink and Love’s a drug!

(Coldplay reference!)

[King Friday]

Big 2 point conversion here.

[MadScientist]

That was a weak 2 point try.

[Teamcheez1]

Hafley, it’s up to you and the defense to step up.

[ThunderDan]

Walker got beat right off the snap.

[red]

walker sucks

just fucking stand there

[King Friday]

Little confidence our defense can stop them.

[Fosco33]

That’s your 2pt play?

[ThunderDan]

Come on D. Make a stop here. Get a take away and finish it off.

[Teamcheez1]

I don’t like the call.
Put the ball in Love’s hands.

[Fosco33]

Nervous having to have the defense hold them 4 plays in a row to prevent the FG.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I need a pick-6.

[ThunderDan]

That was good effort on 1st down.

Bears going away from the quick timing passes and we start to show up.

[RandsRevenge]

I need a pick-6.

A pick minus six is a TD for Chicago

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Pick-6, please. Or my parlay’s fucked.

[Guiness]

lol, where are these sacks coming from?

[King Friday]

No penalties please. Force the Bears to actually do something.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

A pick minus six is a TD for Chicago

Clever. But Spread’s -3.5.

[ThunderDan]

lol, where are these sacks coming from?

Bears switching O at end of game to score.

[Teamcheez1]

Defense failing .

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Shit!!!

[MadScientist]

3-19 and they fucking let them off the hook.

[ThunderDan]

D let them off the hook.

[Teamcheez1]

Game over.

[MadScientist]

That's game. Motherfuck.

[Guiness]

And the défense disappoints

[King Friday]

Pathetic defensive effort from start to finish. No chance this team does anything significant this season.

[ThunderDan]

Why are we calling timeout? CHI looked confused and they can just down it and bring the clock to 3 seconds.

[Teamcheez1]

Offense and defense were both lousy.
Coaches didn’t have this team ready to play.

[RandsRevenge]

I wonder if the D-coor knew who Chicago was going to pass to under duress?

[Fosco33]

Why not a timeout on 4th down w/ game on line. Now we have to hope for a doink?

And then you call one now? Wtf is he doing. Wasted one on challenge as well.

[ThunderDan]

No need for a review on that play.

[Fosco33]

Wasted 3 points early on the Love rush. Wasted timeout on challenge. Bad play call on 2pt conversion.

Not a good game for the coaching staff imo

[RandsRevenge]

Packers don't have Preston for the block

[King Friday]

Should’ve kicked the FG instead of trying to score on 4th and 6. Wasted TO on a dumb challenge where you wanted to take more time off the clock. MLF has some deficiencies when it comes to making good decisions on game play.

[ThunderDan]

The Bears still suck!!!!!

[MadScientist]

A BLOCK! Holy fuck they escaped this

[Anti-Polar Bear]

FUCK!!! My plarlay’s fucked!!!

No, I’ll take the fucking win. :)

[Teamcheez1]

We won!!!!!
I don’t know how.

[King Friday]

I don’t feel good, even with a win. That was a pathetic game all around.

[Fosco33]

Guess I called the doink…

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Packers don't have Preston for the block

They have 94.

[King Friday]

What has happened to the kicking games across the league? Remember when everyone hit everything the first two weeks? Now it seems like nearly every team is looking for a replacement kicker.

[RandsRevenge]

Payton's ghost won the Packers a game once with a blocked kick. Which former Packer was out there today?

[George Cumby]

A win is a win is a win.

Especially against the Bears.

11 straight, y'all.

A division win on the road isn't a joke.

[Guiness]

ROFL! I did not have 2 game winning fg’s with no time in the clock being blocked on my bingo card for the week!

I’m still pissed at the 3rd and 4th down D

[ThunderDan]

I don’t feel good, even with a win. That was a pathetic game all around.

D looked bad. They had no answer for the dink and dunk. Only forced 2 punts the whole game.

Didn’t give up any chuck plays but Caleb’s run.

[QBME]

Payton's ghost won the Packers a game once with a blocked kick. Which former Packer was out there today?

My thought exactly.
Evidently we’re both old enough to remember!

[Guiness]

Payton's ghost won the Packers a game once with a blocked kick. Which former Packer was out there today?

Ima say Deacon Jones.

Post game analysis saying the kicker missed it. That one was not on him.

Ooops I wrote it wrong. The Bears won that game with a blocked kick back in '99.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

My thought exactly.
Evidently we’re both old enough to remember!

Prof Rand’s old enough to remember, too.

[Fritz]

Winning doesn't feel so good today, but it's better than losing.

[Bretsky]

Winning doesn't feel so good today, but it's better than losing.

Seems to be a pattern....Jaguars..now Bears

[QBME]

Ooops I wrote it wrong. The Bears won that game with a blocked kick back in '99.

And I read it wrong. Being old statement still stands.

BTW, it was an attempt to the same goal posts.
