Official Packers at Bears Gameday Thread

[RashanGary]

Bears have Cardinals and Lions left. Good thing we won this game. Lions are a touch matcup for them though. That DL can give Chicago fits, and if they're missing Tim Jennings, they're going to have a tough time slowing down Stafford.

As of now, Bears are out of playoffs and Vikings are in.

Wouldn't the Redskins and Seahawks be in?

Phil Simms just reminded my of something. Cobb and Finley running seam routes probably weren't running them against Cover 2. That's a great open route versus single high safety. Especially if the mirror each other.

A post or something into the dead middle of the field (deep slant) would be versus cover 2, between the 2 safeties.

Actually, I think Redskins lead the NFC East and Seahawks and Giants are the Wildcards.

OK. I think I just figured out why KYPack saw Jones with the green sticker that is the International Symbol of Radio Helmet.

Jones was in a lot of coverage today. He has to be in nickel and I bet he is in dime. So he gets the radio over Hawk or perhaps over another safety.

Edit: Seahawks and Vikings are the wildcards right now. Because the Giants are now 3rd in the NFC East, they are the 1st of the 8-6 teams to be eliminated in the tie-breaking process.

I'd be very happy if the Giants didn't make the playoffs at all.

Kapernick just missed that deep pass to Davis. NE had a nice drive. . . .


The way people have talked about the Patriots, it's like they were already in the SB. I think Denver is a better team in the AFC, for one. Much better D. . .

This, no doubt.
I had a $50 bet with my father-in-law who is always trying to back the Falcons against whoever they're playing. I actually found myself rooting to lose the bet as it would benefit the Packers. Later found out my wife bet him $10 so I'm actually down $60 on it.

So much for DET and CHI making the step up this year to catch the Pack.

Bears traded first and third round picks in 2009 and a first round pick in 2010 for J-Cutty. Then traded two third-round picks for B-Marsh.

I'd say their window of opportunity has slammed shut.
