Official Packers Bears Game Day Thread

[gbgary]

past Packers/bears games have brought out the trick plays. now i know i just said in another thread that i don't want to see wasted plays called for our anemic offence, like Montgomery trying to run up the gut. that said, i'm calling for Cobb to line up in the backfield, take a pitch, and throw the ball.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Down the top 3 corners
Down the top 2 RBs
Down the top 1 TE

Top WR in his first year back since ACL injury

Can't run. Can't defend the pass.

Looks like other teams will probably play a light D-Line, stack the secondary, and throw on us all day.

Gonna be a long year for the offense. And the defense.

Da Bears are pretty fucked, too - injury-wise. Should be a fair game.

Speaking of fair game, the Cindy Crawford flick "Fair Game" ain't that bad.

Abby's out as well. Adams is questionable after concussion.

Adams was questionable before the concussion. I'm just sad that Abby doesn't get a shot tonight. Given all the injuries, TT must be tempted to IR Abby.

WR snaps from Dallas games:

Out of 70
64 Nelson (1st year after ACL)
53 Cobb (playing injured)
31 Adams (concussed)
32 Janis (route-challenged)
13 Montgomery (plus 22 at RB)
12 Davis (rookie)
4 Abby (injured)

I don't remember when Abby got injured, but it appears as if there's a clear hierarchy of snaps among the WRs.

This season has officially turned into a shit show

I am so old I remember this season as 1998: Raymont Harris and Darick Holmes Show

Pretty much. But I'm not unhappy. I'm looking forward to tonight's game. I want to see if the new RBs can get anything done; maybe Janis gets a ball thrown his way due to process of elimination. The Bears still suck, so it will be a good game. It would really suck if the Packers had to play Seattle or another good team short-handed.

I'm looking at it the same way. With injuries plus an acceptance of offensive stagnation, the Packers are getting forced out of their comfort zone and forced to re-think their approach. It might be a rough ride for a bit but they are better off dealing with tuning now than 13 games in.

I would like to see Montgomery's role continue to develop and am interested to see if either of the new RB's pan out. Maybe Davis will find a niche with his speed and that'll open up defenses a bit.

i gotta believe fat mike is just salivating and foaming at the mouth. this has to be an ideal situation for him. no needy RB's to waste plays on, and no one is gonna bitch if he doesn't run more then 5 times tonight

nothing but pass pass pass

i have to imagine that when fatty sleeps at night, he dreams of this exact situation, while coaching in his tighty whities while ball boy after ball boy brings him buckets after buckets of dark meat original recipe while he yells "TIME OUT"
