The Official Packers @ Bears GameDay Thread

Lol.

Hooper: “20 footer”
Quint: “25!”

Bears reactions are hilarious right now!!

The crowd shots last night were priceless. I almost felt bad deriving so much pleasure from something so petty.

There was a guy in the stands wearing a "Save Ferris" shirt. That was classic.

Commentators talk about (probably from a point of view of ignorance) intelligent fan bases or not so much. Booing when the Bears threw a short safe pass on 3rd and 40 says a lot about Bears fans.

Other than the fact New England hasn't started a season 0-2 since 2001, this is a very good point.

Seems like they start 0-2 every season.

If you are a Bear fan you have to give serious consideration to the chance that the offense is bottom of the League garbage.

Packers improved their D, but it hasn't gotten that good that fast.

[texaspackerbacker]

Are you sure it hasn't? At least three new high quality starters - great improvements over what had last year, great improvement from Alexander, quality depth of D Backs, Kenny Clark a year older and IMO noticeably better, etc.; It's very possible the Packers are that much better. We beat a damn good Bear team, and suddenly some seem to think the Bears aren't as good as they were thinking/saying just a few days ago hahahahahaha. Let's see what they Bears do over their next few games.

The Bears had some good runs, moved the ball a few times and their new WR went for 100 yards. Seems like there was more there for the taking.

But it was the defense's first game too. They will get better. Trubisky not so much.

[texaspackerbacker]

There's a lot to like about Trubisky. Physically, he's close to Aaron Rodgers - almost as good, maybe even better mobility, not quite the accuracy and arm strength of Rodgers, but not that far off. He just doesn't have the brain of Rodgers. He does what some in here crave in a QB: unloads it quick into coverage. He was damn lucky he didn't get intercepted a couple more times in that game.

Yes, I think there's room for improvement in the Packer D also. The only time it seemed halfway easy for the Bears, though, was that late 4th quarter drive when the Packers seemed to change things up with less pressure.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

His teammates and coaches give a fuck. You might be the only one who doesn't.

Neither does Belichick.

Next time you question my futbol intellect, remember that 6 times SB champ Belichick agreed with me.

yup

[Patler]

There's a lot to like about Trubisky.

Especially that he is the Bears QB, at least for Packers, Lions and Vikings fans.

The Bears have so much invested in Trubisky that they will stick with him for this season and 2 or 3 more after this season. That will likely hold them back, and "waste" some very good years of defense.

lol. One of the most entertaining things as a Packer fan is watching Chicago draft Quarterbacks.

[texaspackerbacker]

It's a strange phenomenon ....... as soon as the Packers beat somebody, that team goes from being the strongest team ever to being a pile of crap - in the eyes of the negativists and detractors anyway. Sheeeeesh!

Tex, you have to admit the Bears offense looked very anemic, especially when passing.

Refusal to see things like this is a form of Vikings fandom I have encountered in my life (not Ras, his eyes are wide open). Its ALWAYS the other team doing something, never a failure of their own squad.

Its the ref, the pace, the temperature, the travel, the calls, the wind or players (Favre or Rodgers but also McMahon and the Bears) getting the calls.


* Auto correct suspects Ras is Don Was, just so you know.
