It's Bears Week...Like No Other

[mraynrand]

I don't think field conditions neutralize the passing game. Actually, it gives OL and WRs the advantage. Snow, rain, and/or wind (especially) can neutralize the passing game though.

Right on Harv. Wind is the big enemy. Any conditions that favor a field position game, a run-heavy game, help Chicago. a Crisp, Dry, still afternoon in the cold favors the Packers. Based on the Patriots game, a reasonable snow favors the Packers as well.

I have to do more evaluation to determine whether a fast track favors Chicago or GB. Seems like a cow pasture would neutralize Urlacher, Knox, Hester, and the pass rush, but might also help slow down Packers receivers for Chicago's limited secondary and slow down GB pass rush (Matthews, Woodson) as well.

What about...Lava rain, radioactive hail or, dare I say it, SNOWMAGEDDON !?

I think Packers will preveil any kind of apocalyptic weather and Bears too.

I'd favor a fast trak for Green Bay; the only disadvantage it puts us in is with Hester and if Slouch slocum has a brain he won't allow Hester to beat us

I'm feeling 104 yards for Starks this game.

Running against those bares is tough so I doubt Starks will get 100. But if he gets just enough to keep the bares' D honest that will be huge.

Will the NFL come in and re-sod Soldier Field?

Too late to re-sod now. There'll be no time for the new grass to establish itself and there will be divots on every play. Best they can do now is plug and tarp it at night. Maybe they'll deem it too sucky and tell them to go play in Detroit.

They don't expect it to grow. In Green Bay a few years back they rolled out big rolls of sod many feet wide and 4 inches thick just to cover the hash marked center of the field. It all gets torn out after the season.

Not thinking about growing. I'm thinking that if it doesn't root and anchor, the whole thing will pull apart everytime a player cuts, pushes or takes off. I don't know that they'd be able to get the soil at the bottom of that 4 inches to adhere well enough to whatever's beneath it. There's a heater under that field, right?

...a field of Bear rugs?

4 inches is pretty thick. They might not care what happens under that. And I think the heaters are just pipes pumped full of warm water.
