OFFICIAL NFC CHAMPIONSHIP PACKERS vs. BACKDOOR BEARS GAME DAY THREAD

[Brando19]

Interesting that Pat Lee has once again fallen; next year he'll be history

Maybe...it wouldn't suprise me if they keep him, though. Look at Justin Harrell.

[Bretsky]

Hall and Bigby are both active today.

If Bigby gets roasted for a TD I'll puke

GB thinks Hall is good on ST

One hour and counting....tick tick tick tick

[Brando19]

Desmond Clark is going for the Bears today first game active since October. Here are the inactives: Hanie (3rd QB), Aromashodu, Steltz, Moore, Bell, Johnson, E. Williams and Harrison.

Thanks.

Hopefully they'll use Bigby in blitzing situations. He SUCKS in coverage.

I'm confused there
I thought they put Justine on the IR

I doubt that would be Graham Harrell as I think he was on the P.Squad

Was thinking the same thing - he was very visible on punt and KO coverage.

I also wonder what Bigby being active means? Maybe looking for run support from him?

[Bretsky]

Urlacher; he's one friggin ugly dude

Ron Wolf tried to trade up for Urlacher but his attempts failed; we had pick 14 that year and nabbed Bubba Franks; Urlacher went 9

[Bretsky]

STRAHAN, JIMMY J, HOWIE, and TERRY

We need the first three to pick GB and Terry to pick the Bears for continued good karma

[Guiness]

Good work Bretsky. I am just glad that You Tube video wasn't the Super Bowl Shuffle. That would be a hex too far.


Driver and Quarless can each sit in a hole ala Freeman and collect passes. If the Bears blitz, then Quarless might stay in to block, but Driver has more room. I think Driver plays as much in the slot as Jennings since he seems to have an easier time with zones. If Jones and Jennings are left in one on one outside, someone is going to get burned. The O line has its stuggles, but pass blocking seems to be its most consistent strength. Bulaga has bounced back from a bad stretch and Colledge will be in there, important if for no reason other than his backups are even more questionable.

Packers 27 Bears 13.

Do you think we'll see more of Quarless or Crabtree today if the Bears are blitzing? I would not be surprised to see him helping Clifton out if Peppers is effective early

Crabtree seems to be the better blocker, and showed last week he can be effective in the passing game. His block/release and catch for the TD was very nice.

weatherbug tells me it's 21* there already and i heard a guy on 540 radio milwaukee say they're expecting near 30* during the game...and no wind. great!


GO PACK!

[Bretsky]

Field is in HORRIBLE condition.....my conspiracy theory is that it helps da Bears

If this were played in a dome Pack would win by over 2 TD's

look for that to happen anyway.

My gut tells me we'll see a healthy dose of Quarless because he's improving as a blocker and runs better patterns. MM will sometime send him out to find holes in the zone and sometimes he'll stay in for protection. He may also put a hit on Peppers at times and then go out if Cliffy is having problems. Crabtree will get used near the goal line since he's a nasty blocker

Graham Harrell is inactive. You said you doubt they keep Pat Lee around. I said I wouldn't bet against it because if they keep Justin Harrell around...they'll suprise you with anything.
