Happy Thanksgiving

[AtlPackFan]

Well, if some people want a boring football game so it doesn't distract from their Thanksgiving, I guess I can see that. Why don't people bring some marijuana to the feast, mellow out, bond, and enjoy an exciting game too? Problems have solutions.

Good God man, what are you suggesting? Have you not seen Reefer Madness? Don't you know? Marijuana kills!!!

What are you talking about? I AM that guy!
By the way, iI finally became a grandfather Monday night. I have immediately begun to teach my new grandaughter to hate the Bears.

Excellent. Congrats Grandpa!

I have a 23 month old daughter who now says "Go Pack-Ers" every time she sees a football player.

Shouldn't this be the responsibility of her parents?

See, this is how society crumbles. Parenting seems to be a lost art nowadays. Why should an otherwise healthy child be allowed to grow up to be a Bears fan? Thank heavens that Granddad is a stand up, take charge kind of guy. Kudos Shadow, and congrats on the new addition to the family!

I fully admit I failed with my daughter - she just has no innate hatred for the Bears - in fact, she is actually indifferent to football! To make matters even worse, she would probably order sushi , if available, if dragged to a game against her will.
I plumped for the name "Nitschke Starr" for the new arrival, but again failed.
Nevertheless, I will atone with this child - she WILL hate all things Bears!

Instill Packer love and the Bear hate will come of its own accord. My science geek of a kid may be indifferent to most of football. But the Packers ALWAYS need to win and the Bears are just stupid.

You faint-hearts pining for a tranquil Thanksgiving can just forget it. You better have your ankles taped this year.

The Packer Offensive line is going to have a sleepless Thanksgiving eve.

The Packers barely pressured Cutler at all. The Lions yesterday swarmed the Bears on every damn snap. Lions have 6 good defensive lineman. Oh ya, plus 3 great ones.

Doesn't matter much what the team records are, so they might as well be undefeated. This is going to be an epic challenge for the Packers to go into that dome against a physical, hungry team.

So we just had thanksgiving here in Canada and watched a frustrating win. I liked the game, but it had a lot of scratch your head moments. The worst part was that we had a lot of family here and My 7 year old daughter was to 'embarrased' to wear her packers cheerleader outfit. Breaks her daddy's heart.

Meh. Cutler was able to make plays on the run. Rodgers is going to eat them alive. I won't be surprised if he draws them offside 10 times with the hard count the way they look to jump that snap (provided his own line doesn't move...) I'm thinking 50+ for the Pack.

I'm thinking 50+ for the Pack.

you a betting man?

The packers may be a slight favorite, we'll see. Its going to be awfully loud when packers have ball, I expect Packers will be going on silent count, don't count on your 10 offsides. The Bears were victims of most of the presnap penalties last night.

You need a serious attitude adjustment. And a DVR. Lets start with your role as male head of household. Look to the lion pride for guidance. The lionesses are responsible for hunting and food prepartion (ripping off the tough hide of the gazelle to expose tender innards.) The lionesses and cubs step aside while the lion gorges himself. The entire pride eats later while the lion stretches, sleeps, passes gas.

Now, I'm not suggesting that this ideal model can be replicated exactly, but you need to harness the spirit. You watch the entire game, eating your food from a TV tray if necessary. If conversation is disturbing, up goes the volume. If anyone is offended, that makes next year's gathering smaller and more managable. You'll want to DVR the game for deeper analysis later in the quiet of your castle.

Are you suggesting you roll like this?

Because I don't think sitting in your bathrobe on Thanksgiving and yelling at your Mom for meatloaf really makes you the Lion King.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Its all about attitude. We can all be king of our castle, even if it is just a room at mom's house.

Ahahaha, burn!! You got this fool pegged man!!

[Noodle]

Blue dog, you are one funny dude.

And Huey Long would heartily agree with you.

As would Chaz.

Yeah break it down you leach.

I agree with you though, let it be a high powered matchup!

That is one ferocious defensive line the Lions have. I was at the game last night; I've never been in a louder place than that was in the first quarter. Wow.

And that defensive line - it's like watching a feeding frenzy. Scary.

Will you stop wringing your hands and shaking in your boots? Get a hold of yourself man!
