The Official Packers @ Bears Game Day Thread!

[Tarlam!]

Woohoo! It's GAMEDAY!!!!!!!

I know why the voodoo didn't work last night! I forgot to use the patented exclamation mark at the end of the thread title!

Woohoo! GO PACK!

[Partial]

I think today Brett Favre will return to his vintage form with 4 TDs. Yes, I said that. 4 TDs. Two of which on broken plays :D

[BF4MVP]

Packers in a laugher!
34-10

[Bretsky]

I hope for good weather tomorrow; I've always felt bad conditions benefits the team with less talent and can be the great equalizer.

[Partial]

Here is some good karma and memories :D Take 10 minutes and watch these.

[Tarlam!]

Awesome vids in that lot. What a season so far! And to think, this time last year we were 6-8 and what we thought was no shot at the playoffs.

Here we are, 52 weeks later and we have a first round bye at very worst.

Thank you TT, M3 all players and staff. You are all amazing.

[vince]

I don't see how the Bears can win IF the Packers hold on to the ball today. I'm sure that's been beaten into the Packers' head given the weather and the results of the last meeting between these two teams.

I think Ryan Grant will have a great opportunity to have a big day today. It'd be nice to have a bruiser come in to spell him, because that's the type of runner that can be most effective against the Bears and in the type of weather that's predicted for this game.

Weather Report for Chicago today: Cloudy with rain and snow this morning. A snow shower or two in the afternoon - otherwise mostly cloudy and windy. Morning high of 34F with temps falling to near 20F. Winds WSW at 25 - 35 mph. Winds could occassionally gust to over 50 mph.

I'd say this plays into our game better than the Bears game.

We have the stronger armed QB, the better short passing attack, and the stronger running attack.

While Orton has a good arm, their passing game is very average (14th) and their running game is the worst in the league.

I'm assuming that McCarthy will keep Pickett on the sidelines this week as a precaution if nothing else. That should give us all a great opportunity to get a good look at Harrell. Here's hoping he holds up well in the trenches.

[Guiness]

Hope you hold on to your crown Tarlam! And become Tarlam!!

:)

Nice post Vince. I pretty much agree with your points. Last week Chicago sold out against the run and was pretty effective...I don't think they can do that this week without getting destroyed.

[GBRulz]

Woohoo! It's GAMEDAY!!!!!!!

I know why the voodoo didn't work last night! I forgot to use the patented exclamation mark at the end of the thread title!

Woohoo! GO PACK!

Maybe we'll give you one more chance at an "Anti Packer" game day thread!!! :wink: Tonight's matchup...all of us will be cheering on the Skins! That way, when they play against Dallas next week they'll still have something to play for!!

I know I know...we should never look past the Bears, but I feel more comfortable that we are playing them on their turf and not ours! :lol:

[b bulldog]

Here in WI we have 40 mph winds and wind driven snow. Holding on to the ball will be key today along with being able to run the ball. I'd be surprised to see a blowout strictly based on the weather conditions. Pack 20 Bears 13

[GBRulz]

It's not snowing in Chicago though.

I don't think I'll be driving up to Eagle River this afternoon. Expecting a foot of snow up there.

[b bulldog]

It is suppose to snow in Chicago today. In Mercer, we are expecting close to 2 feet once the lake effect machine kicks in.

[RashanGary]

I just checked weather.com. They say it's snowing and as gusty as the winds are right now in Greebay (I know, I'm looking outside right now), they are worse in chicago.

I agree with bulldog. It's going to be low scoring with turnovers being the only real key to the game.

[b bulldog]

tmj IS REPORTING 50 MPH GUSTS IN cHICAGO, RAIN/SNOW AND THE FIELD IS IN TERRIBLE CONDITION

[RashanGary]

Our field will get browner, but it will always play well because it's heated and has a sand base (so it will drain no matter what).

Chicago still has a clay based 100% natural grass. It plays like shit in wet weather.


And yes, the winds are horrific. It helps to have a QB with a GREAT arm, but it's still going to be a low scoring game. I see this hurting Hester too. If he can't cut, what good is he?

[b bulldog]

Mark Anderson is out, Vasher/Briggs/Tommie Harris are game time decisions.

[RashanGary]

Yeah, I saw their injury report during the week. It was like someone made a list of all of their best players (except for old arthritic back girlacker) and called it their injury report. I sort of chuckled. Hopefully that is how Dallas's looks in a couple weeks :)

[OS PA]

This means it's going to be Ryan "General" Grant vs. Adrian "The Fake" Peterson

I like our chances!

Sadly, we HOPEFULLY won, 't see any balls air mailed down field today, but I don't think our short passing game will suffer terribly.

Should be a fun, blizzard game. Hopefully, after the 'Boys lose next week, this will be a preview of coming to Lambeau Field North during the playoffs. I want this and the next game to be statement games. "You don't mess with us in our climate."

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

We can't let them sweep us. Go pack go.


I predict Ryan Grant runs for a buck 70.

[Bretsky]

What bad weather does, IMO, is creates more opportunity for turnovers and an opportunistic defense. In ideal conditions I think GB pummels the Bears.

Bad weather gives them a shot. They need turnoivers to win this game.

Competely agree on Harrell. I want to be proven wrong more than anybody out there

[RashanGary]

Harrell is a good year away. It's too bad we lost Jolly because he, Williams and Pickett made up a strong rotation.

If we find a way to keep Williams next year, I think Pickett, Jolly, Harrell and Williams will be in the top 3 for DT rotations. Right now we're average with Jolly down and Harrell undeveloped.

[b bulldog]

I agree Nick but I hope they spend the money $6.7ish, in the secondary, not the DL. I think if we have Jolley, Cole, Pickett, Muir and Harrell we should be fine inside. I'd rather throw the money in the secondary and at our corners unless they really believe in what we have behind Harris/Woodson. I don't see Williams being worth $5mil per season, sorry.

[MJZiggy]

Ahhh GAMEDAY!! Can't ya just smell the whoop ass in the air!!

You guys worried about the weather? Let me ask you this: how much experience does their boy Orton have playing mudball (I love mudball). How's his arm strength to cut through that wind. Right. They have Adrian "the other one" Peterson. Maybe if it were the real AP...

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

Pack = 28
Bears = 10

[b bulldog]

TMJ is reporting the punters are looking terrible in warmups. A thirty yarder is the norm.

[OS PA]

I'm hoping to one up last year's rematch, and see all three quarterbacks, instead of two. Hopefully we can set a record for causing the most quarterbacks to be benched because of poor play.

[b bulldog]

Weather conditions, Pickett's injury and bears crappy O, should have the Packers first round draft pick, Justin Harrell, in a position to have his first big game of the season.

[b bulldog]

Crosby just tried a 40 yard FG, the winds pushed it 20 yards wide right

[Freak Out]

Good thing Edgar is our RBs coach. 8-)

[b bulldog]

The ultimate mudder, great point.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Is Pickett active today?
The chances of the Cowboys losing next week are slim, I expect McCarthy will sit any injured guys this week and next.

I'm surprised that the Bears didn't go back to Griese for this game.

[b bulldog]

He has been out on the field testing his legs so we'll see.

[packers11]

As I stated in the T.O news thread... T.O. is out next week against the Redskins... There is a really good chance the Redskins could pull off an upset...

Remember the last game between the two earlier in the season...

28-23 Dallas won...

T.O's STATS: 8 rec 173 yards 4 TDS... :shock:

Without this factor, the packers should play everyone today and see how next week pans out...

"You play to win the game" :lol:

[]{ilr]3]

Is Pickett active today?
The chances of the Cowboys losing next week are slim, .

Even without Jason Cambell the Skins are playing well enough to win at home. If the Eagle can beat them the Skins can.

[b bulldog]

The Skins will win next weekend if they can win tonight, write it down!

[b bulldog]

Harlan, did you see or hear what happened in the Cowboys game last evening??

[b bulldog]

Pickett is not playing and the Bears won't have Briggs, Vasher and Walker

[OS PA]

As per NFL.com

Green Bay Packers
Inactives: QB Aaron Rodgers (3rd QB), WR Shaun Bodiford, CB Jarrett Bush, FB Korey Hall, G Allen Barbre, DT Ryan Pickett, TE Ryan Krause, DT Conrad Boston.

Fantasy take: TE Bubba Franks is active, but TE Donald Lee will continue to start. The Packers' defensive backfield is at close to full strength.


Welcome back Bubba.

Chicago Bears
Inactives: QB Rex Grossman (3rd QB), CB Nathan Vasher, SAF Josh Gattis, LB Lance Briggs, G Josh Beekman, WR Mike Haas, DE Mark Anderson, NT Darwin Walker.

Fantasy take: QB Kyle Orton will start for the second consecutive week. The Bears defense will be without Briggs and Vasher, so this unit will be more vulnerable against Green Bay.

[GBRulz]

Kyle Orton looks like a porn star more so than a football player. Must be the stache

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ya, you're right. But I think the best teams win down the stretch when they have something to play for. If I were coach, I would make all decisions predicated on the Packers having to go through Dallas. And that means not playing injured guys like Pickett. IF things work-out better for Packers, no problem.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Kyle Orton looks like a porn star more so than a football player. Must be the stache

not the bedroom eyes?

I think Orton has Ron Jeremy good looks.

[GBRulz]

yes...taking Ron back to Kyle's age, I see the resemblence...

GB, you do any snowmobiling up in the ER area? Looks like the north will have it's first good Christmas/New Years season in the last thre , four years.

[BallHawk]

Kyle Orton looks like a porn star more so than a football player. Must be the stache

Has A-Rod shaved the pornstache yet?

[GBRulz]

This is a good story on Fox now about Michael Lehan from the Dolphins and his upbringing, etc.

[GBRulz]

GB, you do any snowmobiling up in the ER area? Looks like the north will have it's first good Christmas/New Years season in the last thre , four years.

oh yeah, that's pretty much the only place I snowmobile anymore. ER may have the snow early, but it almost came too early. You can't go too far on a sled up there without having to cross a lake. The lakes are very unsafe right now.

[GBRulz]

Kyle Orton looks like a porn star more so than a football player. Must be the stache

Has A-Rod shaved the pornstache yet? He did right after the pre-season. Now he just has the mullet.

Ras, your about 45 minutes late

[Bretsky]

Favre told Aikman that these are the worst throwing conditions he has went into in his career

[Partial]

Alright folks, enjoy the game! I am heading over to my dads to watch it. GO PACK GO!

[Tarlam!]

Is Aikman calling the game?

There goes the neighborhood... :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Tarlam!]

Alright folks, enjoy the game! I am heading over to my dads to watch it. GO PACK GO!

Later, and if we lose, we know who to blame!

[b bulldog]

Wow cause if you remember Halloween about 14 or 15 years ago when Brett hooked up with brooks on a 99 yard TD reception in the wind and rain, that was also pretty bad. I think that was the game when the Bears fan lept from the stands to catch a ball and fell down to the bottom of the tunnel in Soldiers Field. He must have been totally wasted cause he just got up and started walking bfore the police came to help him out of the stadium.

[Rastak]

Ras, your about 45 minutes late

Chipping ice off my front walk....damn, it';s getting cold out too. Gonna be a long walk from the pub to the dome tonight.

[Bretsky]

Good comments by Aikman; bad weather is an equalizer.

Ryan Grant and the OL needs to have a day

Quick slants can be effecive

Forget about many deep balls

[Rastak]

Man, I'm glad I ain't freezin my ass off in Chicao today....yikes! The one game I attended I was sure I had frostbite....it was about 5 degrees and windy. Ouch.

[GBRulz]

[Tony Oday]

Get Bishop on the field today run the 4-4

[Bretsky]

Harrell with the tackle; I hope today is his coming out party

[4and12to12and4]

How on earth are we gonna move the ball? Jeez, turnovers are gonna win this game.

[RashanGary]

Did Harrell just get pushed over?

[Rastak]

So what happened to Pickett?

[MadtownPacker]

The bears have been offensively castrated.

[GBRulz]

Man, I'm glad I ain't freezin my ass off in Chicao today....yikes! The one game I attended I was sure I had frostbite....it was about 5 degrees and windy. Ouch.

If I remember, you had to drive back in a helluva snowstorm, too. Or was it your way there?

TV says the Pack may have to take the bus back today as our airport could very well be closed.

[MadtownPacker]

How on earth are we gonna move the ball? Jeez, turnovers are gonna win this game.YAC, all day long.

Dont worry about it. :D

[4and12to12and4]

Injury

[Bretsky]

Anybody see Corey Williams throw that OL aside like Silly Putty to stuff the run ???

[Rastak]

So what happened to Pickett?


Injury

Williams is playing well.

[b bulldog]

D looks like a highschool D

[Bretsky]

Danget; nobody sniffed out that screen. Well exectuted; not smart defense

[b bulldog]

99 IS PLAYING WELL

[Rastak]

Danget; nobody sniffed out that screen. Well exectuted; not smart defense

Barnett couldn't get off the block.

[Rastak]

I thought that was a terrible call but it worked.

[b bulldog]

THAT TIME 50 COULDN'T

[MadtownPacker]

Damn, that should have been a stop.

[Bretsky]

Dammit

[Fosco33]

Jeez - 3 3rd down conversions on this drive alone...

Grant better be ready.

[mmmdk]

That Chicago wind is crazy.

[Rastak]

[Freak Out]

Looks like offensive holding is legal today.

[b bulldog]

i COULD RUN THROUGH THOSE HOLES :x

[GBRulz]

come on boys....don't look past the bears.

[mmmdk]

That Chicago wind is crazy.

With that said; Packers D look lethargic - not playoff caliber. Pathetic at best :x

It's legal every week. I see it on most plays.

[DannoMac21]

Jesus Christ stop them.

[Bretsky]

Grant will be fine; he's steady

The OL BETTER be ready

[mmmdk]

Bills lead Giants....YEESSSSS

Giants are losers; don't sweat it Ras.

[b bulldog]

oUR d LOOKS LIKE CRAP AGAIN

[Rastak]

Man, I'm surprised. I thought GB would be a little more stout against the run.

[Bretsky]

Are we going to let them run the whole quarter out ??

[Tony Oday]

Man, I'm surprised. I thought GB would be a little more stout against the run.

we need to add another DT or LB instead of the FS.

[Fosco33]

Jeez - 3 3rd down conversions on this drive alone...

Grant better be ready.


Grant will be fine; he's steady

The OL BETTER be ready

Good point.

[Rastak]

They should use play action.

[Fosco33]

A FG is a win for us.

[b bulldog]

oNCE A AGAIN, NO PASSRUSH

[Tony Oday]

all that and they only have a FG try :)

[mmmdk]

We know Bears will run...3rd down is obvious...maybe it's better for Packers to get "away" from playing in the cold/wind???

[Rastak]

A FG is a win for us.

Kind of. Burning that much clock and getting points is a pretty good prize.

[Tony Oday]

lol he missed that one!

[Fosco33]

He missed that try. LOL

[b bulldog]

Big penalty in these conditions

[4and12to12and4]

Why would you want the Giants to lose? We WANT them in the playoffs. They are weak, and we don't want any other better team sneaking in, and definitely don't want Minny getting that 5th seed!!

[Fosco33]

Damn - weather is crazy there.

It's like 65 and sunny where I'm at.... :lol:

[b bulldog]

Pathetic bunch of defense being plaYED AGAINST A HIGHSCHOOL OFFENSE.

[GBRulz]

pash rush shopping in FA or the draft, please.

[Bretsky]

oUR d is overrated


No they are not

Pickett is our stud against the run now; he's out

And all rules are thrown out when we play the Bears. We just need to step it up now

[4and12to12and4]

This is why I don't care if we get homefield throughout, it may screw us and neutralize our strengths.

He didn't say he wanted them to lose, he said they were losers.

[b bulldog]

I posted last week about our lack of a rush and was mocked so I guess I'll do it again. Where the hell is it and where is Harrell? he should be good against the run.

[Rastak]

Damn - weather is crazy there.

It's like 65 and sunny where I'm at.... :lol:



You bum.

[mmmdk]

Bears just took 10+ mins of off the clock and got 3 points - I'd take that!!! Unless Packers O is ready - this is mute.

[Freak Out]

It's early yet...

[4and12to12and4]

Ras, its looking good for your team right now.


They gotta take care of business tonight....



Wow, Pack kind self destructing. They've got lots of time to right the ship though.

I wanna win for confidence and so we don't get swept by the Bears, but I don't give a SHIT about homefield, this weather takes our strengths away and makes us very beatable.

[Bretsky]

Jenkins just lost his jock strap

[mmmdk]

Fucking weather

Same thing for Bears; If Pack can't win then they're just not ready - still time to undo the pathetic play.

[Tarlam!]

It's early yet...

You said it. I am fine with my voodoo.

[b bulldog]

Running it down our throats

[GBRulz]

you'd think we play in a freaken dome or something with the way we're playing in this weather.

[Bretsky]

This is what I expected; a fired up Bears team bringing their A game to try to ruin their rivals season.

Now we have to man up and take the challenge head on

[Fosco33]

Fucking weather

Same thing for Bears; If Pack can't win then they're just not ready - still time to undo the pathetic play.

Yeah - I'm not worried yet. Sucks to play in those conditions sometimes. Gotta adjust - especially when playing in January in WI.

[Rastak]

Weather is the same for both teams.....Green Bay should be able to pound em with a short passing game and Grant. I wouldn't get wound up yet guys, last week the Bears had the ball at midfield indoors almost every possesion and all they could muster was 13.

[b bulldog]

It is early but our Dline continues to raise red flags. We get no passrush and against the bears and their injury riddled line, we can't stop their running game.

[b bulldog]

I know we have starters out on our Dline but we can't use thaT EXCUSE TODAY AGAINST THE bears, it won't hold up

[4and12to12and4]

We'll come back and win today, the Bears are pathetic. If we get homefield, it still would be an advantage if were cold and NOT windy. Which is more probable, it doesn't get windy like this often in GB.

[Tarlam!]

Our d line is fine. Maybe the coverage calls need reviewing, but I am seeing 110% effort. I like Harrell.

[mmmdk]

Good point.

[b bulldog]

A collapsed pocket :shock:

[Fosco33]

NICE

[Rastak]

See? They get the ball deep and nothing.

[Bretsky]

Great pass rush and push that play

[4and12to12and4]

what a kick

[Fosco33]

That punt really went their way

[b bulldog]

Dline will be our achilles in the playoffs

[4and12to12and4]

can we go 90 yards? No turnover here!!!!

[Tarlam!]

Damned. That Punter had me in fits the first game. How come Da Bears got such a good Punter?

[b bulldog]

The Bears O right now would be so easy to scheme against. In todays conditions, it is who wants it more cause lots of these plays are going to be simple one on one matchups.

[Fosco33]

Ok - just need to retune on O. I'd say shotgun only when the conditions work - keep running it. The play action is there so take a medium shot here at least once. A nice drive here would be huge.

[Tarlam!]

Dline will be our achilles in the playoffs

I am not of the same opinion. I see good things from the players. I think the calls need reviewing.

[Rastak]

Bears put 8 in the box......until Favre starts throwing they should keep doing that.


edit: Pack spread them out nicely there.

[Bretsky]

Dline will be our achilles in the playoffs

If Pickett is out Harrell needs to step his game up and play like a starter

When Pickett is back our DL is solid with Pickett, Williams, Jenkins, and Kampman. KGB as a pass rusher.

The worry is if Harrell does not pick up his play these guys will end up playing too much and get winded and then it might be a weakness

[Fosco33]

Can't even get the cut back on the right side here.

[b bulldog]

Injury riddled bears D looks awfully impressive.

[Fosco33]

k - now i'm worried.

[GBRulz]

Come on Ryan, geez

[Bretsky]

this crap is exactly what I was worried about.

[RashanGary]

This might be a blessing. If we had weather like this against Dallas, we'd lose.

[4and12to12and4]

Hold em to a field goal here, and we will get some momentum back.

[b bulldog]

B, did you watch them against the RAMS LAST WEEKEND???????

[mmmdk]

Oh my god :shock:

[Rastak]

Kicked him right in the gut.....ouch.

[Fosco33]

Poppinga blew that one

[Bretsky]

This might be a blessing. If we had weather like this against Dallas, we'd lose.


I don't expect 30-40 degree winds again. We want homefield

[4and12to12and4]

STOP EM

[Brohm]

Yeah baby! Panzy fucktard footbal today!

[Bretsky]

B, did you watch them against the RAMS LAST WEEKEND???????

Yes

[4and12to12and4]

huge play coming here

[mmmdk]

Come on Ryan, geez

...should he have run it? C'mon.

[Bretsky]

Big Stop

[4and12to12and4]

Great stop!!! watch out for the gadget play here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mmmdk]

Big Stop

Yup.

[Rastak]

I can't believe they ran it up the gut again. They should fire the playcaller.

[b bulldog]

tERRIBLE COACHING BY THE bEARS. gO FOR THE td, THE pACKERS O can't do anything and their punter is too cold

[GBRulz]

Come on Ryan, geez

...should he have run it? C'mon.

is kicking the ball away once today too much to ask? :roll:

[4and12to12and4]

They might try a fake here, even if they don't score, we are still pinned, and they are playing for nothing but pride.

[Fosco33]

Special teams is really 'special' today.

[footballfever]

I can't believe they ran it up the gut again. They should fire the playcaller.

ron turner, norv's brother isn't it?

[b bulldog]

The injury riddled Bears Dline is showing the Packers how to play D

[mmmdk]

Canadian cold?

[DannoMac21]

My God.

[Bretsky]

THANK YOU 87[/u]

[4and12to12and4]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

[b bulldog]

gOOD COVERAGE al

[GBRulz]

wow, gutsy move by the Bears. I like the way it panned out though!!

[Rastak]

Yea, it is Turner.....wow, the Bears sure suck......right in his hands......Yikes!

[mmmdk]

Wow...Orton not to blame... :shock:

[Tarlam!]

They've had the ball for 20 mins and put up 1 FG. Pulease, people.

We can win this.

[b bulldog]

The Bears are patrhetic and they are killing us but thankfully they are only up 3. We need some field position please.

[Bretsky]

The injury riddled Bears Dline is showing the Packers how to play D

You seem overly negative today

[Fosco33]

Pack hasn't shown anything today on offense. I'd say we don't celebrate until we hit midfield and get at least position out of this...

[b bulldog]

No doubt we can win this and most likely will but our Dline once again looks shakey.

[4and12to12and4]

Jeez, we gotta get out of this end zone!!!!!!!!

[GBRulz]

1 FG, Tar !

[b bulldog]

I really have some big worries about our D.

[Bretsky]

Need to catch the ball

[4and12to12and4]

We must think we are TAMPA Bay.

[GBRulz]

I really have some big worries about our D.

really?

[Rastak]

Eagles 21 Saints 14.....go Eagles!

[mmmdk]

We need a 1st down... :shock:

[4and12to12and4]

M3 has to get more creative on offense. 8 in the box, we have to get some slants, etc. Although, we would've had the first down if not dropped.

[DannoMac21]

Awesome punt.

[Bretsky]

good punt; this is a field position game now

[mmmdk]

We need a 1st down... :shock:

...not so!

Will we get a punt of?

[mmmdk]

good punt; this is a field position game now

Phew :o

[Rastak]

Actually the pack are speading them out a bit and the Bears aren't loading up the line every play.

[4and12to12and4]

Man, our defense is gonna be REAL tired soon here, we need one or less first downs on this drive, and a shitty kick, and switch the field around.

[b bulldog]

wE ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE A GOOD d BUT THE bEARS d WITH ALL OF THEIR INJURIES AND PLAYING AGAINST A MUCH BETTER O is killing us.

[Tarlam!]

1 FG, Tar !

I edited it when the 4th down wasn't a kick, hoping nobody noticed...

[mmmdk]

Paris Lenon just scored on 55y int. return.

[Bretsky]

Harrell moved up the line of scrimmage nicely to pursue that play from the back

[Freak Out]

Bears have played their game today.....we need to start playing ours.

[b bulldog]

Harrell, good job buddy

[Bretsky]

right down our throat

[b bulldog]

Dline is getting totally gashed

[mmmdk]

Man, our defense is gonna be REAL tired soon here, we need one or less first downs on this drive, and a shitty kick, and switch the field around.

Packers D-line and O-line are exposed today.
