What peeps are saying in your neck of the woods

A son and his father, an evening conversation:

Dad: So is it Packer day at school tomorrow? Are you supposed to wear Packer colors?

Son: No, its 80s day tomorrow. We need to wear something from that decade.

Dad: You know, I have a Reggie White jersey. He played in the 80s.

Son: Walks away, slowly shaking his head...


One of us is not getting the point

Made me chuckle!! Nice one!

Chicago: fans are cautiously optimistic. They are trying to think of any advantages they have and talking about them every minute of every day. I'll be representing at soldier Sunday.

Zee Chermans are, ov coarse, all for zee Päckerrrrz, it coot bee no uzza vay! Vot a stewpid kvestion!!!!

Bear fans I have talked to keep talking about their defense and how they think they can slow down Rodgers while basically ignoring the entire other side of the ball. I think they may be in for a shock Sunday. The Packers have proven that when they play to stop the run they can. Raji should be huge this game as neither Williams or Kreutz will be able to stop him.

The Belgians don't know what 'quarterback' means and think the game is called "rugby". But if they find out the Germans root for the Packers, they'll surely root for their opponents. Keep it quiet, Tar...

The sport is completely unknown here. People don't know the rules and there's hardly any reporting on it. In a week or 2 there'll probably be a small article noting that the viewing records were broken for the latest Superbowl and that the half-time commercials were funny and expensive.

The founder of the Packers was of Belgian descent, by the way. They named a certain stadium after him.

Here in Detroit the talking heads are gushing over Aaron Rodgers as the difference-maker. I know one native Chicagoan, big Bear fan, but he won't say much. I think he's pinning his hopes on Hester and the defense.

I think Hester, the quality of the Bear defense, and the string of blind luck incidents and situations that have gone the Bears' way this season--including the possibility that the weather will favor the Bears on Sunday--have everyone I talk to on edge and the suspense is killer. That negative stuff is in the front of my mind. In the back of my mind is the shameful realization that this team is good, it has endured, it has overcome, it is on a mission, and I am not believing in this team the way I should be believing in them.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, maxi mea culpa.

Yeesus, ya godda no dat Hester iz gunna run baak ad leest toow kicks for Tee Dees! And dats jus in da ferst haf!!

Living outside of Philly, people are still talking about the Eagles loss. Mostly everyone now is calling for Reid's head or speculating on the next D-coordinator. A lot of people around here are thinking Philly might go to a 3-4 or hybrid. Not too many people in Philly care much about football once the Eagles are eliminated. They're now focused on the Flyers and spring training for the Phillies.

Anyone else get this feeling: If the Packers would have loss to the Falcons, it'd have been ok. Sure, a loss hurts, but heck, the Falcons are a very good team and the Packers had a great run. Now that they're playing the Bears...it just feels like, if they don't win, how can life go on.

I sense more trepidation this week than last. Most fans here wanted last week to go faster. Now, I think the possibility of having the season ended by a rival is daunting.

this is me to an extent. I really cringe at the thought that we could lose this game. It would be unbearable (pardon the pun).

Checking in from the SF Bay Area. There are a ton of Bear fans in my area----Cal Bear fans that is, and they love them some Aaron Rodgers and Desmond Bishop! Since there isn't a professional football team in NorCal many locals have jumped on the Pack bandwagon. I do have a $1 bet on the game with a misguided co-worker (probably abused as a child). I am perusing the McD's Value Menu as we speak to determine how I will spend my winnings. Go Pack! I'm hungry!
