OFFICIAL gameday thread packers-bears. 9/28

[Harlan Huckleby]

Who cares about Boykin, he is just wideout chum. We need to see Bostick on Soldier Field, making history. Rudy coming off the bench.

[pbmax]

if peppers has anything left, it should all come out today

i expect a career game from him

unless there's nothing left

He is from Carolina and played for the Panthers. He doesn't really have much to prove to Chicago.

[pbmax]

Jared Allen always plays against the Packers.

Nice jinx.

[Bretsky]

TWO GUYS THAT NEED TO PLAY GREAT TODAY

RANDALL COBB- He just doesn't look right since the injury and with JAG's at TE now he needs to get open consistently...and sometimes downfield
AARON RODGERS- This team is not good enough to beat a decent team w/o him being great that day

Honorary Mention

D Adams---Can you plz show up this week ? I'm still watching Allen Robsinson.....who I kind of loved on draft day.......we could use game 3 Robinson like production today

He needs to be our #3 weapon

Is it possible that Jones has just been injured?

This is where we find out if A-Aron is worth all the money he is getting. This is the kind of game where Brett Favre, Tom Brady, John Elway or Peyton Manning throws 4 TD and carries the team to a win...regardless of talent at receiver...regardless of weather conditions...regardless of crappy OL play...just regardless. When the superstar QB decides to open his yap and tells everyone to relax, chill out, calm down, smoke reefer, find your happy place and shut up already...he damn well better back it up with play on the field.

With that in mind, I would expect a 14+ point win for the Packers here. The Bears are dinged up. The Bears lost at home to Buffalo already. The Bears are not THAT good. If A-Aron shows up, then the Packers win easily. If whoever was wearing A-Aron's jersey the last 3 weeks shows up (you know, the guy SCARED of Sherman...the guy fumbling snaps against the Jets...the guy missing open receivers in Detroit) then we may be facing 1-3.

I am still more concerned about the offense than the defense. Want to see Starks if Lacy struggles again.

i don't buy it

to me it looks like fat mike is benching players for shitty play without publicly shaming them

jones has an absolutely pathetic game, in a game he didn't look injured, just shitty. it then comes out he "had an injury". the mystery injury has now kept him out 2 more games

boykins has a horrid game last week, and get benched. then develops another mystery injury

to me its fishy. either m3 is benching the players in a unique way. or the player are faking injuries after being benched to save some face

of course they could really be injured, but jones sure didn't look injured in the game where he "was injured"

[pbmax]

Wow. Not just any illness.

Jared Allen loses 18 pounds with pneumonia, won't play Sunday http://wp.me/p14QSB-9Ahs


SOFT N' SMALL!!

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 18m
MT @JayGlazer: Jared Allen is out because of pneumonia. Weight dropped to 237. Had another chest x-ray this morning. Still wanted to play.

PB, perhaps you didn't hear. Lacy figured out that it was his pad level contributing to his slow start. It should be fixed now.

Yeah, I know I shouldn't be worried. Look at how that fixed the run game in 2008-20012 and special teams since Rossum left.

Jones was injured in the Packers 3rd preseason game. He did not dress for the preseason finale. He was listed as probable heading into Seattle. Boykin has played as if he's hurt. I wonder if he's been less than 100%.
