I'm hoping you're right about that YA.......I feel the Pack is losing ground, other teams are peaking, and the Pack is like, well, stinking up the joint. hope they come to play next week.
Losing ground to who?
I think the best scenario ever would be beating the Bears next week and essentially knocking them out of the playoff race only for the Bears to beat the Spermheads in the last game of the season knocking them out of the playoffs.
Ef the bears and for good measure ef the vikings too

Actually, 9er/Hawks loser is #1 wild card. If Viks don't get 2nd WC spot, Rams are next possible.
The Rams' next three games are Seattle, Dallas and SF. They are going to have a lot to say about who makes the playoffs.
MichiganPacker2 posted:Fedya posted:Who gets the second wild card besides the Minnesota team?

Sure they get the first wildcard, but Henry's post suggests the Bears knock Minnesota out of the playoffs, meaning somebody else gets the second wild card. The Rams would have to do well in the last four games to knock Minnesota out.
I should have phrased my post more clearly.

To quote Al Davis "just win baby" Even if wins aren't pretty it is still a win.
With that in mind the Packers just need to keep taking care of business and that is especially true this weekend. Nothing would be sweeter than to win this game at home and really damage any chance the Bores have of making the playoffs.
All that being said embrace the hate this week. the Bears and their FIB fans.

So they have owned 6 of 10 decades (first two really close) but 3 of the Packers decades more games were played. Pretty amazing how even things are overall with that much history.
Make Mitch be a QB and things should fall into place.
I am surprised that the 80's were only 11-7. I would have guessed something more like 15-3.
All these years later I still want revenge for that 61-7 beat down from the Bears.
I am also shocked the Bears/Packers was only 11-7 in the 80's I swear it feels like the Packers never beat the Bears in the 80s.
They had the opportunity in the 55 burger game. They took the high road and let up in the second half or they probably could have scored 70.

I always think the same thing every time I look at that. I think a lot of that has to do with my (and I'd guess many of us) age. Born in 1970, I was getting to be far more into sports right then. And 1983-1992 there was an 18 game stretch where Chicago went 15-3. So just as I was getting more mature and more into fandom, the Ditka era Bears were just beating us all the time, so that was pretty seared into my brain. But, Green Bay won 4 of 5 to start the 1980's and then swept the 89 series, which offsets a bit that 8 game winning streak (and 10 of 11) Chicago had...

Bears have won 3 in a row and 4 of 5 while having some key injuries, they havenât really been blown out much. This is probably going to be a tough game especially based upon how the Packers have been playing. The one thing is that the Bears havenât run the ball particularly well this season which the Packers canât seem to stop the run.
Anyone else notice the Bears are on a long week after not having a short week the week before. Now that is like having a second bye.
Packers had a bye before Whiners game. That really helped.

At the time I remember thinking that perhaps this is the game they finally fire Bart who coached I think three more years.
I am to young to remember Starr the QB but I unfortunately remember Starr the coach. I can still remember the old Bart Starr show in Green Bay that I think aired on Monday nights. After one particularly bad game the only thing Starr had to say positive is showing film of how well David Beverly punted the ball the day before. I swear that's true.
TIMPRANILLO, I think you are right I think it has to do with when you got in to sports. I was born in 66 and the Packers had one good year in 1972 (which I remember but not really well) and then NOTHING really until 1992. Sure a strike shortened playoff appearance and a good year in 89 but that was it really and then a long time with nothing.
DH13 posted:I am surprised that the 80's were only 11-7. I would have guessed something more like 15-3.
5 of those 7 were before 1985 (4 before 1984) and the other 2 were in the Magik season of 1989. Bears won 8 straight (10 out of 11) between there and probably what we all remember from the 80's.

Step 1 - praise the other team no matter who it is.
Yeah, that '85-'91 stretch was the brutal stretch with only the sweep by the Packers in '89 giving us all a brief rest from the misery of those years. I would have never guessed just how much the Pack would turn the tables on them from '92 onwards. The only sweeps I can remember by the Bears over the Pack since that time were '05 and '07. Maybe there's been more but that's all I can remember. There have been many more sweeps in the other direction.
Just glad the game is at Lambeau. Team's about due for a breakout performance and no better time to do it than against your rival.
One thing I think we will fortunately never see again was the genuine hatred these 2 teams had for each other when Forrest Gregg was Packers HC and Ditka was Bears HC. The Bears were significantly more talented, Gregg knew it and had the Pack play dirty at times to try to make up for it. It culminated with the Charles Martin slam of Bears QB Jim McMahon which was about as dirty a play as you'll ever see.
That 1986 Packers team probably would be the lowest point in Packers' history. Not only were they dirty, they sucked, and they had freaking Mossy Cade who committed one of the worst non-murder crimes anyone had ever heard of at the time raping his own Aunt.
As much as I hate to say it Ditka and Bears had every right to hate on the Packers. They sucked, they were dirty, and they were thugs off the field as well. Thank God that infamous period of Packers' history is long gone. Let's hope we never even come close to revisiting it.

I'm kinda surprised it hasn't been flexed yet. So, i looked at the NFL Flex guidelines and it says they have to flex a game 12 days out. Except for week 17. Week 17, in order to ensure a Sunday night game with playoff implications, the decision to move the start time may be made on six days notice.
They already flexed Buffalo. Made the Packers Bears game a national contest that we are getting in CA.
And in AZ too. (so far)

wed be up 2 games with 2 to play, and would own the tie breaker based on division record
This means that if the Packers win out, they get Wild Card weekend off and a home game in the divisional playoffs, most probably against New Orleans or an NFC Wild Card team that most likely would be Minnesota or either the 49ers or Seattle Seahawks (whichever team doesn't win the NFC West).
Home field advantage in the NFC playoffs
In the chase for the NFC's No. 1 seed, the Packers need a lot of help.
Three things are necessary for that to happen:
- The Packers must win their remaining four games
- The San Francisco 49ers must lose two games
- The Seattle Seahawks must lose one more game
Considering the fact that those teams have matchups against each other (49ers-Seahawks on Dec. 29), the odds of all those losses happening are, to be kind, not the best.
I'd love to get the Saints at Lambeau after a week off as they're banged up and not as strong a team on the road.
If Rodgers hits the new TE in stride, that's probably a TD. Something I hope MLF is pointing out to AR.
Yea yea yea... You'll get your looks eventually rookie!

I don't think it will happen no I don't think they will get the #1 because of Seahawks easier schedule.
The 49ers could lose two more games. They are at the Seahawks and they play the Rams who are playing much better.
Seattle would have to lose a game against the Panthers or Cardinals which I don't think will happen.
The Saints could get the #1 but like the Packers I believe they will need some help to get there. They finish with Colts, Titans, and Panthers. I could see them losing to the Titans who are playing way better and the Colts.
I think the Spermheads look like they are pretty much a lock for the wild card. They finish with at the Chargers, GB, and Bores at home.
If the Packers get in I am happy with one home game in the playoffs and take it from there.
Saw this on Twitter and thought Jace needs throw a waving arm up while running the route. Make the QB see you!
Sternberger also did a pretty good job of blocking on Jones' 42-yard run. Need to see more of he and Tonyan and less of Graham.
Yes, let's get the youth out there.... One of them could be this year's James Starks.

There's a 2% chance of the Packers missing the playoffs entirely even if they win Sunday and the Vikings lose.
I hope nothing is clinched come Sunday night. I want the Rams to beat the Cowboys and keep hot on the tail of the Vikings.
hmm i was wrong , division record would be tied in that scenario and we would lose out on third tie breaker, conf record. ok, nothing officially clinched (except butt cheeks) Sunday
I agree with JSO that the next three games (barring the loins game being meaningless) are really the start of our playoffs. I understand, that for now, none of these games are must win, however; a loss this week would have tremendous impact on the rest of the season. It would keep shitcago in the playoff hunt, it allows the queens to catch up with us, and it basically wipes out any chance for a bye week. Despite all of the worry about the offense, the onus is on our defense to shut down shitcago. I don't see us scoring a ton of points, but the defense needs to make sure that we don't need that many to win.

We could lose 2 out of three or 3 of the next three or win out.

Oh you are as much of a jinx as I am. I have seen the Packers play in many places and I think out of the 15 or so games I have seen they have won maybe 3 or 4 times.
I personally think the game this week is the season that is how critical I think it is. They have to win to put pressure on the spermheads.
In games where the Packers have struggled the most, there is a common theme: They faced a defense with a tough, physical, aggressive front that dominates the line of scrimmage and has outstanding edge rushers who can help the defense get to the quarterback without resorting to blitzing.
The Bears defense fits that description perfectly, which is why the outcome of Sundayâs game wonât depend on LaFleur or Rodgers or Jones. Instead, the game will be decided by the play of the Packers offensive line.
If you look at those games though, it wasn't solely the offensive line that struggled. AR has to help his OL out and give them some confidence. If he's dancing around all day then he's just inviting trouble.
This cracked me up. I wish the NFL would make raw audio of players being mic'd up available. Obviously it's edited down to a hilarious extent, I'd like to hear the bullshit that is said on the field though.
Urlacher/Bears came up with dirty checks to counter Packers offense
Packers 4-0 when Jones has 20 or more touches - 6-3 otherwise
I do think this is more a matter of Jones affecting the outcome of the game and not the score of the game dictating more touches. He was a big part of the reason why these games were won.
They have done a great job of managing Jones' load this year but I think for at least the next two weeks there should be an effort to get him at least 20-25 touches. The screen game and quick passes will negate the Bears and Vikings pass rush.

I have seen 3 Packer games in Lambeau. First was October 12, 2003, a 40-34 loss to the Chiefs. Chiefs may have been undefeated at the time. Pack got it to OT (they had some unlucky bounces of the ball resulting in them falling behind early). Ahman Green fumbled and the next play was something like a 70 yard TD bomb.
Radio guys on the ride home from the game said it was probably the most crushing regular season loss they could think of.
The middle one was awesome. Vikes tied it late with two scores. Pack made a FG as time expired. Third one was a loss to Carolina where two times in a row (last two drives) Carolina completed long passes to Steve Smith who was a beast that day. Tough close loss.

Apparently it was jersey-swap day at Packers practice. At least nine defensive players â including Za'Darius Smith wearing Montravius Adams' No. 90 instead of 55 and Rashan Gary wearing Dean Lowry's No. 94 â wore someone else's... https://t.co/QiZn7zV47Y pic.twitter.com/WbHkdNFTkK

Hope some of that 55 rubs off on 90.
They should do this once a week. And then the challenge for whoever wore #55 is to play more like #55 that Sunday.
They were worried Kraft Productions was in the building.
Hey ABM, put a spy on Trubitsky and make him beat you with his arm.

Can't wait to see it!
Worst 10-3 team in ðŊ year history of the NFL.
Check it out....free hot drinks!
FWIW, for players listed as "questionable" this year in the NFL, the vast majority, over 80 percent IIRC have played.
The Bears want Jimmy Graham playing.
Hope Jimmy Graham catches 3 TD's
It's bears week, which means it's time for my twice yearly rant about the worst franchise in all of sports.
But, let's get this out of the way. Any of you out there that are gonna still tell me you hate the Vikings more... First, you're wrong. Second, why would you concern yourself with such a meaningless franchise. They are but gnats. They are your younger brother desperately trying to hang out with you and your friends. You don't HATE your little brother crying because he can't be you. You ignore him. The Vikings are nothing. They are irrelevant. They aren't worth the time or the effort to worry about.
But, the bears? Everything else is a simply a week long discussion. The hate for the bears is deep and it's lifelong.
Records don't matter. The last 10 years doesn't matter. Dominating them for nearly 30 years doesn't matter. Win 20 in a row. Lose 20 in a row. They deserve every single ounce of hate you can muster. They go through 67 QBs in 12 years? Fuckem. They lose players to injuries? Fuckem. They were nice to the Packers for 20 minutes 93 years ago? Fuckem. They are an original NFL team like Green Bay? Fuckem.
Fuckem yesterday. Fuckem today. Fuckem forever.
Just because Green Bay has absolutely dominated the series the last ~30 years doesn't mean we should give them a pass. Or feel sorry for them. I've said it over and over - the literal second they experience any iota of success, they, and their fans will revert to the goddamned asshats they always have been. Do I need to highlight anything more than last year?
61-7. Doug Plank. Perry over Cumby. Ditka. Kevin goddamned Butler. Their goddamned horrific fields. Dan Hampton. Their fans. Mike Singletary and his stupid goddamned eyes. Their shitass stadium. Buddy Ryan. Hub Arkush. Doug Buffone. Butkus. The Super Bowl Shuffle. Every f**king guy on the SCORE. THEIR F**KING FANS.
KEVIN, AND I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH, FUKKING BUTLER.
No pity. No mercy. Fuckem.
With that, let's review the top best wins over the bears, this list is too hard to limit to 5.
1. NFCC game 1/23/11 21-14 win. Literally the biggest win in the series as they cannot play for the Super Bowl. I was in Anaheim, CA for my companies Sales and Marketing Conference watching his in the bar of the Marriott Anaheim. I've never been so amped/nervous/demented about a game in my life. I'm fairly confident my father would have liteally died that day if they lost. I sometimes think beating the Bears in the NFCC was more satisfying than the Super Bowl win, as no matter what - we will always be able to say we beat them at their place and prevented them from going to the Super Bowl. That said, I know the win wouldn't mean as much without the SB title.
2. We Have A Reversal 11/5/89 14-13 win. I'm a sophomore college at Illinois, watching the game from my room on the 3rd floor of Hopkins Hall alone as all the Bears fans were in the TV room. The emotions of that play go from elation on my end and screaming from the TV room to them all trash talking me when the penalty is announced and then back to elation when the call gets reversed. The 80's were a nightmare for the Packers. 8 straight losses and 10 of 11 and the bears winning a Super Bowl. Just a great victory that at the time felt like Green Bay had found its QB and was finally in my lifetime not lost in the wilderness.
3. Taken by Chester Marcol! 9/7/80 12-6 win. The glasses. The single bar facemask. A guy named Chester. High on Cocaine. Sudden Death. Craziest ending ever. I remember my Dad yelping and jumping off the couch...
4. The Monsoon game 10/31/94 33-6 win. I'm at my apartment in Lombard, IL watching with some friends. Torrential rain. Throw back uniforms. Favre "running" for that 36 yard TD. Sayers and Butkus getting their jerseys retired at halftime and then pour it on more in 2nd half. I will always believe that this game was like 30-0 at half because that's how dominant it felt, yet it was only 14-0. This game and the 49ers playoff win in 95 were the real intro to the nation that the Pack was back.
5. Epic Beatdown 11/9/14 55-14 win. I watched this on my phone from a bar in Portland. Had customer meetings during the day. Got pulled into taking them out and about. We went bar hopping and I held the phone in my lap glancing as much as I could without being a jerk. I said if earlier in the thread. I lived through 61-7. I heard Dan friggin Jiggets and Mike North talk about it on Chicago radio every 12 minutes. 42-0 at half. To my dying breath I will be pissed because I know with certainty, Green Bay could have dropped 60-70 on them. AR could be the record holder with 8 TD passes. I will always be a little pissed they didn't keep pushing as hard as they could.
6. COBB!!!!! 12/29/13 33-28 win. Watched at home. Scared the living hell out of my family when Cobb scored. Maybe the 3rd most important game in terms of playoff impact. Rodgers first game after coming back from collarbone. Winner goes to playoffs. Great game back and forth. Boykin with the crazy fumble recovery TD and of course the Cobb TD pass after Rodgers just missed getting killed by Peppers. Because I'm horrible, I still think less about the Cobb score and think more about how Jordy got freaking murdered on that play and it wasn't called. Thank god we don't have to relive that missed call.
7. ON ONE LEG 9/9/18 24-23 win Watched at my place on the Oregon Coast. Kids were out at weekend, and I stayed out to get some winterizing done. And watch the Packers in peace. You go from "welp AR's hurt and season's over" to "OMG KIZER IS THE WORST ****ING QB IN THE HISTORY OF EARTH" to "well, maybe a top 3 pick is what they need" to "Randall Cobb again ripping the hearts out of the bears" to sweating out the last drive after a just insanely horrible roughing call that to this day is inexplicable. Randall Cobb - the destroyer of bears man.
Fuckem yesterday. Fuckem today. Fuckem forever.
Feel better?
wow that was awesome
I know he feels great. Do you disagree with him?
Might be the best Anti-Bear post in the history of the internet. Viking fans reading this have to be pissed.
Well, as we've been instructed, we can't be concerned with Vikings fans.
Well, after that....TBSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Earlier I found a bear Gif on Twitter where you could try to hit Rodgers in the face with a piece of cheese. LOL
Going back now I can't find the damn thing.
That was an awesome post
One of my not so fond memories growing up was I recall the game - think it was 1986 or 1987- where Kevin Butler drilled a 50+ yarder in GB to win it.
We are all huddled around the TV at my grandparents and the moment it happened my dad just says âI donât believe itâ while I run outside in their backyard and scream at top of my lungs âno! no! Fuckin A!!â I think everyone in Fond du Lac County heard me.
I come back inside and everyone is staring at me and my 80 year old grandmothers mouth is wide open in shock and disgust.
Needless to say I had some âsplaining to do and it was not a fun ride home. So much for those Catholic school values lol.
And yet your grandma probably had a dirty mouth herself.
And got run over by a reindeer

Yup, that was the 87 game. I was working at McDonalds on HWY 100 and Burleigh, we had the game on the radio in the break room and had it turned up pretty loudly. Packers led heading into the 3rd 21-13. Gave up 10, and Al Del Greco kicked a 47 yard FG to go up 24-23 with a minute to go. Then that piece of crap Butler kicks a 52 yarder to win it. The whole restaurant groaned as Irwin announced it was good.

Me too but I hate Viking fans more than anything.
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.

Exactly. I have a best friend living 20 miles from Shitcago. We're like brothers. I worked for years with Viking fan. Total pole smoker.
No way I would even entertain the thought of having a friend who is a Viking fan.

I'm with you guys. I spent a good portion on my youth in Grand Forks, ND. Viking country... fuck those guys. I now live in western Wisconsin and there's plenty of Viking fans here too... fuck those guys as well.
I think your level of hatred depends upon your geographic location between the two teams. The Vikings and their fans can take a sweet suck of my ass.
Went to college in western Wisconsin and had to deal with those fucks. Fk them!! They are lower than whale shit.

The western part. West Western Wisconsin. It's kind of like #1 in separation stat.
How far west though God damn it? Northwest? Southwest? West-central?
Northeast West Western Wisconsin. Much different than Southwest West Western Wisconsin. We hate those guys.
Northeast West Western Wisconsin= Ellsworth

La Crosse
La Crosse sucks. Nothing but steers and queers....
Holmen is where it's at.
I actually lived just outside of Galesville on the Black River during the college years. Loved it. Anyway, I had thought back then that Holmen was part of La Crosse. Just that everybody looked and acted the same. My bad.
I always thought of Western Wisconsinites as Eastern Minnesotans so you can all just blow me.
â-Milwaukee, bitch.
The comma is VERY important.
Ya know, West. And that's to the left of North. Which is up.

Fun fact. If the bluffs weren't so high along the confluence of the St.Croix and Mississippi river we'd be talking about the twin cities of Prescott and Hastings.

Ahh, the serial killer who you are referring to developed his condition response in Plainfield - that would be center of center Wi. In fact, he placed Plainfield on the map. You should have known that; pretty sure he inspired a black and white movie, dude.
As for Milwaukee, Dalmer Country, bitch.
...and not to mention, Milwaukee is just short of being an extension of Shitcago - home of the Bears.
Okay, I was compelled to say that last part to make this conversation more relevant to the main topic: Bears week. My bad.

Not unlike Minnesota's serial killer, Andrew Cunanen, the guy who went on a killing spree from Minnesota to Florida on his mission to kill Giani Versace. Which he did, BTW. Not the kind of fame Minnesota was looking for. Fame is a double edged, four letter word.

I think he's talking about the college student drownings that seem to be overly common in the LaCrosse area.
I distinctly recall there was some discussion of it here when the deaths were occurring, with some people here seemingly really believing there was a serial killer.

Yup, a disturbing Lacrosse deep state.
Was gonna do another update to the stats and record but I think it's pretty easy story here.
Green Bay ended the decade going 17-4, the best record in any decade by either team.
Which leads me to the following - The Packers have absolutely dominated this series for the most of the posters lives. Yeah, there was a very down spot from 1983-91, which correlated with a lot of people here's formative years and is seared into a lot of our memories - but since 1960 the Packers are dominating this series and for the last 30 years are becoming even more dominant.
Packers are 73-46-0 last 60 years (.613)
Packers are 42-19 last 30 years (.689)
Packers are 29-12 last 20 years (.707)
Packers are 17-4 the last 10 years (.810)
That is impressive. Thanks.
How many starting QB's have the Bears had since Favre & Rodgers?
Boris posted:How many starting QB's have the Bears had since Favre & Rodgers?
Eleventy hundred.
I just found out about an hour ago.
It's 19.
19 starting QB's for Bears since Favre & Rodgers -- & there was only one other for the Pack vs. the Bears (Hundley in 2017)
What about Tolzien?

So I posted this in the "TBSS" thread, and unless I'm counting incorrectly, I count 32 starters at QB for the TBSS:
I thought 19 sounded low. I would have thought mid 20's. Hell it was 22 just during Favre's run.
Who can forget Henry Burris?
Other starters for GB (besides Hundley and Tolzien) are Matt Flynn and Seneca Wallace.
I might've counted 33 there....
The guy that told me 19. NFI where he figured that out. During Rodgers starting only (2008 & on) I count 13 off your list.
Thanks for posting that.
