OFFICAL PACKER vs. BEAR GAME DAY THREAD

[Little Whiskey]

Have to share this story. My brother and I went to Stadium View to meet a few people before the game. Once he get there he turns to me in a panic and says his ticket dropped out of his pocket on the walk over. I tell him to run off searching for it and then to go to the ticket office in hopes that somebody had turned it in. Well, that is exactly what happened. Once he supplied the section, row and seat to the ticket office they handed it over to him. Much thanks to the good samaritan out there that found the ticket and turned it in.

wow, thats a good story. I think of what that guy could have sold that ticket for. I'd say your brother owes that guy a few beers.

I guess we have that "someone".

Ya. Dom Capers for finding a way to stop a Chicago running game that was starting to look dangerous.

I don't consider 10 second half points, getting stopped on 1st and goal from the 1, and three 3 and outs (including the last offensive series, which started with 7:02 left in the game and we took all of 2 minutes off the clock) to be an indication of good adjustments.

I know you're having fun cherry picking quotes from the game because we won Packgator, but MM did not do a good job of it this Sunday. We managed to score 10 points, and the D and ST carried us.

Walden was a mad man. That came out of nowhere. I've said that I've felt Hawk has been solid this year, but pretty much at the same level that he's always been. (And not Pro Bowl level--although he appears to be doing a great job as defensive signal caller.) Well, I thought he was great in this game. Bishop struggled a bit, but this was one of the better games that Hawk has played. Matthews appears to be healthy again. Walden was a revelation. Do you start him over Zombo, if Zombo is healthy next week?

I think you rotate. But since its Philly, Reid and Vick, the Packers will be in nickel a lot during that game. The Eagles can run with McCoy, but Reid leans to the pass like M3 does. So I could see Walden getting the majority of snaps.

I think some people are better off waiting to post until after the game.

That must be it.

At one point, I think Justin constructed an argument that Flynn was the more effective QB given the results of Rodgers and McCarthy's struggles versus the Bears compared to Flynn versus the Pats.

They have a very good defense and it seems to be one that gives McCarthy's offense fits. And no adjustments help a rookie RT who is jumpy and commits 4 penalties in the span of 2 quarters. Each of those killed the drive, if I recall correctly. Add that to 4 drops in the first half, there are only so many plays that will rescue an offense trying to shoot itself in the foot. Its not adjustments, its execution.

The one thing that worried me about the O line in this game that was new was that Peppers was pushing Cliffy back. They even sent Kuhn to chip Peppers a few times.

And that pressure was giving Rodgers happy feet for a while.

In the first game vs the Bears the leading rusher was, you guessed it, Jay Cutler. I believe it was 3 for 36... awesome possum... and yes, we found a way to keep them bottled up for that second time around also. I'll take Dom over Martz any day of the week...

B! Let's get on it here! You have a new gameday thread to create. Ride us to the Superbowl dude!

[HarveyWallbangers]

Start the thread and we shall win.

[Joemailman]

Okay, we've waited long enough. Somebody start the game day thread. I can't do it though. We lost to the Lions last time I did it.

[esoxx]

I'm worried about B, this isn't like him. Has anyone checked the police log in Fort Atkinson, WI or the local hospitals?
I smell trouble.

Going to a buddys house for the game...GO PACK GO!!!
