Official Packers vs Bears Discussion Thread

[MadtownPacker]

Bears defense leads the NFL with 17 INT's. Packers offense is 2nd best at not throwing INT's with 3. Stay out of 3rd and long and don't get behind by 2 scores.

Will Pepe LaFleur pucker up his culo on the play calling? Stay tuned mofos!!

Does the team rally around MaLF and teach Ben Johnson a lesson? God, I hope they bitch slap the ever-living fuck out of them.

I'm missing Devonte Wyatt more than I miss my mother right now.
.

I miss Ken-Tucky Kraft more than I miss my bygone youth, a time when I was shutting down Darren Charles. Used hang with T-Kraft. Used bang with T-Kraft. Even slang with T-Kraft. Goddamn, I miss T-Kraft.

Wyatt had been a-pimping, but I reckon, his loss doesn’t sting as much as the Ken-Tucky’s. Vanilla Ice (Van Ness) can replace Wyatt’s pass rush in the deep. Any Yokozuna can clog up running gaps. Ain’t nobody on the roster can break tackles like T-Kraft.

Well -

I am sad to see Tyron "Pickled" Herring released from the practice squad for no other reason than unrealized name fun during a game.


Also - The week 16 game with Packers at Bears has been moved to Saturday 12/20 at 7:20pm Central


In addition - for those of you looking for the next Howard Green - sources say DT Ross Blacklock worked out for the Packers today:






And finally,



The Green Bay Packers signed cornerback Shemar Bartholomew to the practice squad on Tuesday.


My favorite part of this news specifically is that when/if he ever makes a play on the field during a game I can shout:

Thanks for the info regarding the scheduling flex. Thank Fuck, I ain’t flip burgers on Saturday nights anymore.

I say, bring in Desmond Watson - all 464 lbs of the Yokozuna. Next Gilbert “Butterburger” Brown, I reckon. Or sign “Hustling” Jack Haflin off the Sheepfuck’s PS. All Haflin does is hustles.

I disagree here. Kraft really is so damn good - I don't question that - but I think the Packers have a lot of options on offense to try to work around his loss. A depth of wide receiver talent, with Reed soon back, and some options to tweak the offense to feature other plays for other talents. Ont he other hand, Wyatt is the center of that defense - and the options to replace him are not nearly as attractive. Van Ness is still out and will be apparently for a while, so there goes the "Cheetah" option on passing downs. You've got a sixth-round rookie pick (Brinson), a free agent (Stackhouse), and a journeyman (Brooks) to replace Wyatt.

I can see your point, though.

Same as Lions game, if D stops the Bears run game and the O gets two scores up, Packers win.

We can say the Bears are benefitting from a soft schedule, but those wins pile up and confidence builds. I think they believe in themselves and their coach. This makes them dangerous.

I'm nervous about this game, but the Division and the #1 seed are there for the Packers to seize.

Let's see what they are made of.

Agreed. And how did we benefit from having some cupcakes on the schedule. Cleveland and Carolina should have been wins for sure. Confidence matters a lot and they are playing with it. However when its fades it can be ugly (see Bucks, Milwaukee).

B-b-b-b-b-but Jordan Love is careless with the ball!

Numbers don't tell the entire story. He should have 3 more and the fact we are a running team that limits possessions keeps that number artificially low. But he isn't Jameis Winston out there.

Fox Late
Areas shaded pink, including Alaska and Hawaii will get Chicago at Green Bay. Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady with the call.
Areas shaded purple will get LA Rams at Arizona. Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma with the call.

But is he like a kid out there?

Not the kind of athletic traits Gute usually prefers.

Not the kind of athletic traits Gute usually prefers.

Hmm . . . not fast or quick. Not agile. But big. Or wide, at least.

Glad to see Quay Walker is back. He'll be important.

This game will be a "thread the needle" game for LeFleur. It's going to be cold, and so harder to pass. So do you go toe-to-toe with da Bears and their run game, and play conservative? Or do you see what Love can do?

Tough call here. The weather plays a big factor.

[texaspackerbacker]

If the weather does become a factor, this big unagile guy could be good to have in there.

Quay is back? It seems like McDuffie and Hopper have played much better than Quay before he got hurt.

If by "thread the needle" he means they need to play perfect, then good he's striving for perfection and good he says that to the team, but as a fan, I can't help thinking that the Bears are overrated/have thrived on weaker competition/and can be beat even with something less than perfection.
