I Don't Like Cheatin', But The Bears Deserve Some Love

[son of a vic]

While the Packer fan in me hates everything related to Bears football, past or present, the football fan in me admires the way they play the game. Physical, fast, fundamental, and fun to watch.

Do I like seeing Bear's fans Happy? No, not on your life. But I do respect and appreciate good football when I see it. And right now the Bears are one of the best teams in the N.F.L.

Some of the Packer faithful try to convince themselves that the Bears could never be as good as their record indicates. They claim they play teams that are not at full strength, or are lucky, so on and so forth.
They are now the class of the division, and will be for the next couple of years, if not more.

You don't have to like it, but you must come to grips with the truth. And God so help me, if the cheerleaders around here go to the " yeah but---------------- we were better in the 90's, we have won more titles, blah, frickin' blah, I will personally drive my Dodge Caravan to every Dollar General and Family Dollar in Wisconsin, and buy every case of out-dated Kool-aid that is now on clearance. I will then sell it back to the blind faithful next summer during training camp, for profits bigger than a two-bit oil company could ever dream of making.
Summer is also the beginning of fantasy camp, for a lot of the posters around here.

Thank you, Captain Obvious! Bears look very good. I think most can acknowledge that. It's pretty hard to argue when their average score is like 31-7. Sure, the schedule has been easy, but it's hard to argue with those results. That's all I'll say about the Bears though.

See, that's what I'm talking about. You say it's "obvious" but then you soil yourself with the "easy schedule line", that is full of crap. Vikings on the road, Seattle at home, and Buffalo on the road, are 3 wins against pretty good football teams. So apparently what's seems fairly obvious, is clouded by your bias.

[BEARMAN]

As a BEARS fan myself, I will accept your (overdue) accolades. Thank You, you are too gracious.
Yes, the BEARS are doing great, so far, we just hope no one gets injured. I see DA BEARS being 8 an 0 going into our 3 game roadtrip. If they win all 3 on the road...Look Out Baby, History could be in the making !
Again, Thanks for the kind words.

GO BEARS !

Buffalo is 2-3. Minnesota is a shaky 3-2. Detroit is 0-5. Green Bay is 1-4. Seattle was without Shaun Alexander. That IS a soft schedule. Geez, don't take it personal, Bear troll.

They've beaten those teams by a 31-7 average. That's damn impressive. They look like the best team in football.

This side of the rockies, yes. Denver is the best team in football imo

Enjoy it Bearman 'cause it may last a while, but it sure doesn't last forever.

Call it soft, but I don't see any other teams in the league, pounding the snot out of the "softies," like Chicago has.

Do you realize how petty and foolish your argument is? They are good, period. No conspiracy, no magic beans, just the facts.

For the last time, I am not a troll, but if it empowers you to slander my allegiance, sleep well.

I don't get it. Petty and foolish? I don't think there is anyone on this board who doesn't think Chicago is one of the best teams in the NFL. Personally I would put them as my odds-on favorite to win the Super Bowl, but I'm smart enough to know that 5 games into the season isn't full proof of anything. The Colts looked every bit as dominant through 5 games last year.

True! And the Colts O was much more polished.

Ummm... what part of "They look like the best team in football" did you not understand? Go ahead and suck Bear dick if you want. I acknowledged the fact the Bears are damn good. Excuse me if I don't feel like going on and on about how good they are. Why are you gettting so pissed about my supposed dig at the Bears? Kind of funny that you are Mr. Negative when it comes to your own team. If the Pack were 5-0, you'd probably complain about the soft schedule they were playing.

So...you're a bear troll if you acknowledge that the bears are good? Sure, none of us wants this to be the case. And mock denial is totally cool - Bash away at the Bears!! It's fun, and a stress-reliever, when done in humor. That's a big part of what this site is here for.

But I am sick of this attitude that if you criticize Packers *management* (you know, the people in POWER), you are a traitor. Or if you "defend" the right of a respectful bear or viking fan to express his opinion, then you are a traitor. Only a very few posters exhibit this attitude, that *certain* viewpoints are not welcome. I'll refrain from making political analogies here, but I hope y'all can see the implication.

In fact, I have been accused of being traitouous, yet am one of the people who remains most positive about the team! I pick them every week to win, and argue they have a chance in every game. I'm critical, but hardly negative - believing that Green Bay is always the best team in all of NFL history.

I also believe that Green Bay Packer fans are the best fans in the world. We are known for being knowledgable, friendly, tolerant, and respectful.

Times of trouble can cause dissention in the ranks (as predicted by SOV, in fact). I'm sad to see that some of you have fulfilled that prophecy and do not agree with me about what it means to be a Packer fan.

Fortunately, this site had a good leader in MadTown, someone who, despite his endearing irreverence, does understand exactly what it means to be a Packer fan - that we are all united here for the same reason, a common purpose.

My point is...we're all in this together! Even though times are troubled, this "witch hunt" mentality exibited by a *few* lately is really unappealing (even though it is the Halloween season....get it, "witch" hunt?).

So the bottom line is....knock it off!!

Seriously.

[ahaha]

Son of a Vic IS a witch. How do I know? He turned me into a newt...............I got better.

You pick Green Bay to win each week ?? Can I extend a formal invitation to our high money confidence pool ?

Sorry if I'm part of the witch hunt; can I call is a clown hunt instead....with the clown being Schottenheimer

Seriously though, people can be a Packer fan on several levels. Some of us choose to read more into things than others; if I break things down further and criticize moves Ted makes that doesn't make me any better or worse than the fan that fully supports Ted. I can still cheer for him to do good and also have the view that he sucked wind in free agency. Just a different view. That's why we're all hear. To respectfully share our views as fellow Packer fans toward the common hope that we win another Super Bowl, sometime sooner rather than later.
