Bears to play all out with starters?

[packers11]

vegas thinks the bears are going to rest their players...

packers are favored by 10 1/2 !!!

It's time to use Bigby for what he's good for:

So you are saying Bigby is big on chemistry and holding the team together through tough times?

And for craft projects and toddler food.

I think he wants to make him white.

According to NBC game announcers tonight, Love Smith said regardless of situation, they will play their starters and go all out. Serious?

I propose a game strategy of SWEEP THE LEG!!!

(And win too)

He should. We're obviously playing to win, they could be playing for a #1 seed still, and no one wants to see us in the playoffs in terms of playing against us, this includes them. THey can knock us out of the playoffs. Shrot of winning a super bowl, knocking the packers out of the playoffs is certainly and enticing incentive to try and win.

I'm glad to see that. I don't want what happened last year with the Cardinals to happen this year. We blow them out Week 16, then go on an all out shootout with them the following week.

I'll be shocked if the Panthers, arguably the worst team in the league, can go into the GA dome and beat the Falcons. It will be a tall order for Tampa to go into New Orleans and win there too. Heck, even the 'Skins could beat the Gmen the way NY has been playing.

Latest word on PFT through Chicago is that Lovie is getting certain backups ready to go.

Props to lovie for playing it straight up.

Yep. Makes us feel pretty good going in too. I want to find out if we're good enough and now we know. We're good enough to have a shot. I like our chances this year more than past years. I like this team better than the 07 team, but it's going to come down to us hitting on our big plays unfortunately. We're going to have to go on a good run, but this team can beat any team in the league if AR hits on his shots.

[packerbacker1234]

Hey, his team is in the playoffs. He had a chance to keep us out, and honestly it was a good test to try and get his team up for a playoff type game. For us it was a playoff type game, and Chicago is going to see the same sort of effort we gave todya from who they see in the playoffs.

Props to Lovie for not handing us this win. It was nice to watch this team march off the field knowing it EARNED that playoff spot. All the injuries, all the talk about AR's performance against the gaints - it was our makeshift defense, and our "horrible" special teams that won us the game. Simply stunning.

Our coaching staff deserves a standing ovation, especially capers, for how this team found a way to get to the post season with everything going against us.

Yea, could you imagine MM doing the same if it were reversed? Not a chance. That being said, I can't critique MM too much since Lovie brought it and MM beat him.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Lovie did the opposite in 2006 and made the Super Bowl.

McCarthy played to win vs. the Cards last year with nothing on the line.
