Re: It's Bear Week!!!
LOL, don't hate the Bears or their fans. I hope they finish 2nd in the NFCN every season. I spent most of the 60's in Chi and loved everything about it except when the Bears happened to win a game. The food and fun and babes were great. Got to see Packer/Bear games at Wrigley! Regardless of being FIBS , they're a lot like us... Pride, Tradition, Championships.

Re: It's Bear Week!!!
Relative to their fan base even though they still suck I feel the Bears are a shining light in a festering pool human waste. Now it many be an empty can reflecting the sun from the midst of that waste but...... Build the Wall Caution to all, on top of Bear week we have company at Miller the next 3 days. By travelling here they try to build character but reality is they solidify their ignorance every time they escape and choose to return.

Re: It's Bear Week!!!
I don't hate the Bears like I did in the '80s, but I'm probably capable of that again if they ever get really good again. I expect them to be vastly improved, so I can feel the hate in me just waiting to be unleashed again. Even though I hated the '85 Bears at the time, I actually look back at that team sort of fondly. We will never see defense played that way ever again. Just pure fury and chaos thrown at the QB on every snap and then Walter Payton shoving the ball right down your throat...

Re: It's Bear Week!!!
viking fans are the kid brother in the corner of the room, stomping their feet and saying "What about me? What about me? What about me?" bear fans are the obnoxious drunk at the bar who talks too much and too loud and irritates the hell out of everyone.

Re: It's Bear Week!!!
Its completely acceptable to have a deeply rooted dislike for the Bears, Lions, and Vikings. You may choose to respect them quietly. But never lose sight that their intent is to win the division and keep Green Bay out of the playoffs. This “soft spot, respect” banter for the Bears is purely driven by the fact they haven’t been very good in recent years. Would love to dig up the Bear Week thread leading up to the 2010 Title Game. Pretty sure those pages didn’t speak of an inability to dislike...

Re: It's Bear Week!!!
I grew up in western Wisconsin and have lived on this side of the state for most of my life...so I haven’t had much of a chance to experience the Bear rivalry. The closest I came was during my years at Ripon College. Ripon had a huge number of Students from Illinois. Now, this was in 1979 and college students didn’t all have TVs in their rooms. In fact, the way to watch a Packer game was on the 24” tv in the dorm lounge. At least that was the plan. The first Sunday of the year I go down to...

Viking fans vs. Vikings. That's the difference. I have good friends that are Bear fans & I would do almost anything for them. I have zero Viking fan friends. Maybe that will change in the future.

Re: Punt Return Unit
He's not a defenseless player, that's not a penalty in this context. When you choose to return the ball and not FC, you're allowed space to catch the ball, but you have to be ready to be blasted. Tramon was low to the ground, not to defend a Chicago Bear (because fukk them), but I'm not sure what he's supposed to do in that instance? Patterson timed it right and Tramon fumbled, I'm more concerned about that.

_ Defensive laterals at the end of the first half was a disaster waiting to happen. Watched the end again and that last play was way too close for comfort to a Bear TD.

Re: Ditka finally a Packer
I remember listening to the SCORE in Chicago maybe early 1996 or so just before Packers/Cowboys played in the NFC Championship. I could swear that I remember both Doug Buffone and Ditka (who was on as a guest) said they were rooting for the Packers over the Cowboys. It's been so long ago that I might not remember that correctly, but that's how I remember it. I think Ditka said during that segment that he thought the Packers were doing things the right way, and I got the feeling he felt the...

Re: Last call for Niner game predictions
Some teams play much better at home, and the 9ers may be one of them. They handled the queens pretty well opening weekend at home. They got creamed in the 2 away games after. They also have a pretty good running back who got lots of yards at home vs the queens. And, after getting embarrassed the last 2 weeks I'm sure they will be lathered up to at least be respectable. Pack on the road with stadium noise and several players nicked up, Burnet, Adams etc. We did struggle on road some against a...

Re: 300 Game winners
Kershaw and Verlander might pitch different (effort) if they knew they were pitching every 3rd day, they would also likely train different. Velocity was way down, more junk was thrown that was easier on the arm. If it was 1940, you are not to worried about the second baseman going yard, so you could really go soft on him (and a good part of the line up) and only bear down when guys are in scoring position. You also likely didn't have a LOOGY or a closer throwing 98 for the manager to use to...

Re: 2016 (Team 96) WK02 GB@MIN Gameday Thread
16 out of 17 games. His longest streak before this was 4 games in injury plagued 2010 season. Something happened starting with that Denver game. Last year, I'm the KC game we saw someone playing the position as good as anyone in history. What was it, 5 or 6 TD passes? Bear in mind that was without Jordy and with Clements.

Missed the game b/c the Bear-Texans were on instead.........but had a few questions for those that saw the game: -How did Cook look? 1 catch for 7 yards looks awful, was it really that bad? -Did the front 7 play as well as it seems? Box score shows a great rush defense and solid pressure, is that accurate? -Was the pass defense as bad as the box score made it seem? The pick was great but outside of that, looks like Bortles carved them up. -How did the youngsters look - Martinez and Ryan in...

Re: Josh Sitton Released - signs w/CHI 3yrs
Still a strawman. At no point did anyone suggest he "gave up" on the season. I suggested he is placing more value on the future than he is this season. By cutting a Pro Bowl player 1 week before the start of the season leaving most people to speculate that it was about cap space. Player interviews suggest they were not given a reason, so they too are probably speculating cap space. Maybe MM addresses it with the team this week and we get different responses from them come Bear week. But...

Re: Josh Sitton Released - signs w/CHI 3yrs
Thats nonsense. The message this sends is that this year isn't that important. We're not 100% committed to winning this year. You got me, you didn't use the phrase "give up". Let me walk that back and say this instead: Your theory that Ted isn't 100% to winning the current season or any season is truly what is nonsense. It's a ridiculous idea to think anyone involved with the organization isn't committed 100% to winning every season. Ted plays the long game, he's 100% committed every year...

I'm gonna go ahead and agree. The article re Lombardi, the comparisons to decisions belichick has been known to make... At first glance they have the look of tyrannical to an extent.

Re: +/- Bears/Pack
+ A slightly injured Rodgers is a dangerous Rodgers. Henry, as I said, Rodgers needs to take what the D gives him and stop playing playground in hopes of the big play. The sore knee made him stay in the pocket and stay within the offense and look what happened! + Cobb, Williams, D shows up Cobb -- the Bear killer! and thanks to the blockers who helped scrape guys off to help Cobb enter the EZ. -- Bulaga (injury), OL up and down, opening half, Kizer

Re: +/- Bears/Pack
Neg MM...my gosh, how could he not have this team ready to play? 100th anniversary; Rodgers back; New O and D coordinators...and the Packers came out flatter than pancakes and the game plan was even worse. In the post-game presser, MM looked old and unhealthy. Hate to say it. But he looked worn out and spaced out. Pos Rodgers took this game over from MM. It looked like Rodgers was calling some of his own plays too. G-MO!! Cobb = Bear Killer...aka 2014 TD PASS

Re: +/- Bears/Pack
I don't know, Henry. It sounds like you want the whole passing game to be long passes that go for TDs and nothing less. I blame MM for the slow start, and yes, he needs either to get his QB room into shape or get a vet. But, look at the key plays: On Kizer's first trip into the red zone, he decides to run up and right into Mack/Bulaga as Mack was just starting to engage Bulaga. If Kizer steps backward and then cuts to the sideline instead of running up and right, he most likely throws it...
