Title: Packers vs Bears
Post by: NIATROSS on December 16, 2012, 06:39:13 AM
hard to believe about 30 yrs ago  it was freezing with snow and ice covering the steps and some seats while we were at soldier field for a late dec packer bear game

weather should not be a factor today but the health of both teams will be
packers get at least matthews back while the bears pick up olindo (?) mare   almost busted a gut when i heard his name again  rflmao1 rflmao1

anyways this could get ugly real quick today and i am betting it goes the packers way !

good to all !

Agree Tross, Bears lose today, win next week at Arizona, and lose to Detroit on the road. They finish 9-7 and miss the playoffs.

nope missed that one but the bad news was it cost me money

 4pezz2 4pezz2

i do believe the game in question was in 83 with the stadium about 1/2 empty and the bears winning and costing the pack a playoff spot
lot of good memories in old soldier field 
plenty of packer bear games and a pink floyd concert i will never forget
the hardest ticket to get off a scalper outside the stadium was the monday nite game where the fridge scored a td vs the pack

gotta agree with you buddy,the bears look like they are going the wrong way
i think this yr mccarthy has done his best coaching job yet
he has had a plan and stuck with it

it has been a tough yr biting my tongue with some of his moves along the way with kelley for the irish  rflmao1 rflmao1
but both are right there

I raced a horse at Hawthorne Park the day of the infamous Bears 'Fog Bowl'. Thankfully I finished 2nd, but it was a multi-hour creep through fog. 250 mile roundtrip through fog is worse than an ass whipping.

What on earth was McCarthy thinking with that trick play on the PR? It is not as if GB was the team that is losing 21-10...

gotta agree i practically choked on my .55 whopper
add in the ryan fumble and 2 missed fgs and the game appeared much closer than it really was
when you cannot score with 1st and goal at the 4 yd line at home you have serious issues

Well THIS Bears fan is now a Packers fan.   I've seen enough.   Can't take much more of this.   Bears after a 7-1 start, falling apart when it really counts......White Sox after looking as though they were headed to the playoffs after winning the division saw their wheels fall off.....Cubs, well, they're the Cubs, enough said......Bulls so far have looked very mediocre..... Blackhawks are still on 'vacation'.....Chicago sports, gggrrrrrrrrrrrr  At least we have 'major league' harness racing where Everything Goes Right, right?

Anyone who makes a statement like this wasn't ever a "real fan" to begin with. Well now that Bears are no good, I will now root for their biggest rival because they are good.  thumbsdown thumbsdown

My older brother is a Packers fan & and the younger brother is a Bears fan. So I could just watch yesterdays game and enjoy the athleticism, or lack thereof sometimes. Been a tough year for us Dallas fans.

Bears need a o line that can keep d players out of the backfield for at least a few seconds. Aaron Rogers can throw bullets with precision. Cutler has someone in his face at all times. Makes it hard to tell just how good he is.

cutler is now in my tony romo  category
i am just not sure how good he is and why denver let go of him at such an early stage in his career
obviously he has an arm but something is missing imo
despite jerry jones saying how good romo is i just do not see it and time is running out for him imo
now i see the same with cutler

All the rumors surrounding Cutler in Denver was he was an a-hole to his team mates. He appears to be sour to his team mates in Chicago too. Bad idea to piss off the guys who keep you from getting whacked every play.

I still hold judgement on cutler for a couple of reasons. In his 4 years in Chicago, he has has at least one of the 2 worst offensive lines every year he has been here. Up until this year, he has a wr group that could not of made many other squads in the nfl.

I am not saying he is elite, but in his last year in Denver, he was sacked 11 times that year.He made the Pro Bowl.  That now happens in 2 weeks here. I just would like to see if he ever got a chance with a real offensive line as a Bear. He has weapons on the outside now, but if he can't stay upright, how can you evaluate him? He just might be Tony Romo, Rivers or Flacco, and not a top 10 guy, but i still believe if you put a team and I mean a real team around him, with actual guys that can block and not 5 blobs of silly puddy dressing as lineman, I think he can win you a super bowl.

Pezz, I totally agree on your o-line/Cutler analysis.  While he is obviously not a leader, hopefully that will change.  We may be witnessing a similar change in Dallas with Romo.

I still think DaBears will make the playoffs but Urlacher's return could be monumental.  He is the spiritual leader like Ray Lewis, who the Ravens need back in a desperate way.

  Just venting as real fans have been known to do.   I still love the Bears but am not happy with them now.   No different than the many Bears fans in attendance at Sunday's game that were booing the home team and torked off Urlacher....fans have the right to show their dissatisfaction.   I will get behind the Pack though - same division, seem to be on a roll and they seem to want to win more than my beloved Chicago team....
