What do you suggest they do with the 5Th round pick they get?
@The Heckler posted:Hell yes! Even though its been 40 years since the 61-7 beatdown I still want to return the favor in a big big way.
I will be in a room full of FIB inlaws during that game and nothing would give me greater joy than the Packers curb stomping the Bores.
The Sunday Night Massacre in 2014 was a fun game to watch. I'll be very happy with something like that again.
Hopefully the Packers can keep your in-laws quiet throughout the entire game.

Well half of them are pretty good. The other half are annoying stereotypical FIBS.
LaFleur said yesterday that he did not think Wagner's injury was serious.
I'll say it again, our Oline coach deserves a lot more money, recognition, and praise. Stenavich has made that line a strength and a plug-and-play unit of players. Give the man a raise and keep him in GB! Oh, and his assistant's name is Butkus!

Use it to trade up and draft Opie again.

Every year, it seems there are teams that peak early, mid-season, or late.
I think this is the case this week.
The Bores, especially offense, hit their peak early, and now their defensive performances have been in decline over the last few weeks. Nothing will wear a defense down like offensive ineptitude.
The Packers, on the other hand have been very good offensively all year, and are finding yet another gear to increase potency. And dare I say we are peaking on defense? I think there has been slow, steady improvement post-bye, but they have really turned it on the last 2-3 weeks.
I think the Bores will find out early the Packers ain't Jacksonville; they won't be able to slow down our offense, and they can't catch up on offense.
Besides, Green Bay owns Soldier Field!
Ahhhh memories.....Wayne & Larry on the call!

But the Bears have Mack and Trevathan. That makes them staaaaacked!
To paraphrase Howard Cosell, look at that fat guy run:
You are a virulent fatist.
"oh yeah.....and the Lions"
They can't even suck without being last.
The Packers are the better team, but the Bears have righted their ship enough that I think theyβll make it a tight game. Pack wins by 7.
No fans / slow field should help right side of our o-line.... Hicks/ Mack disrupting our offense is only way I see Bears beating us.
Packers hang 40 on the Bears, but their O scores points. Final 40-30.
Turnovers are the key.
Packers are 10-0 with zero turnovers. (Rodgers had to throw that INT otherwise they'd be 11-0)
The thing that really sucks is they could be as low as the 3rd seed by the time the games end.
I'm hopeful they keep that urgency they showed vs. the Titans.
Why do I get the feeling the entire NFC watched that game on Sunday Night and said a collective.....
"OH SHIT!!!"
Texans Queens and Jags? They think there is some major RESURGENCE!!!111 in the bares and trubisky now
Yes, your owners to the North are a whole different beast. Has it really been even competitive since the Majik replay game?
So the 4 Bear wins in 2010 to 2019 were by a total of 21 points. They could easily been 0 for the decade.
From the Sun Times. An important reminder that the Bears D isn't what is once was, even earlier in the season:
Furthermore, Rodgers is catching the Bearsβ defense at what appears to be a vulnerable moment. Odd as it is to say, their improved offense has kept them afloat as their defense has struggled. The Bears set what is believed to be a franchise record by allowing seven consecutive quarterbacks to rack up 100-plus passer ratings against them this season. And if guys like Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins can do it, how much scarier is Rodgers?
In their last five games, beginning with what Rodgers did to them Thanksgiving weekend, the Bears have allowed averages of 25.2 points and 360.4 yards per game β a dramatic drop for a defense that harassed Rodgers late in 2018 and in the 2019 season opener.
The Bears arenβt used to depending on their offense, and even with Trubiskyβs recent uptick, they donβt have much of a chance if this becomes a shootout.
from the CST article, if the Bares were to upset us Sunday we could likely see them again in the first round
And that would be a bad thing? I'd take my chances with them at La La La Lambeau!!!
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said there's a chance TE Jace Sternberger could return to practice today. A big step for him through the concussion protocol.

To think I was worried about the Bares picking up ol' whats his face from the Eggles ah, Nick Foles. But Trubituary beat him out, kinda.
Fun fact 1: Z Smith is having a better year than K Mack.
Pack will roll.
Fun fact 2: KC D gives up points in red zone an NFL worst 78% of the time.
Did anyone else not notice Sternberger was missing and in fact notice Daffney (spell?) more often and in more positive ways? π
I like that mindset. Hopefully it shows on Sunday

It's kind of hard to miss Dafney.
no kidding

That collective reaction might be shared by the Packers themselves. Let's hope so. It does feel like there's been that vibe in the sports world since Sunday. I know I haven't felt as giddy about a Packer game in quite a long time. Mistakes were made, breaks were gotten, but they made far more good plays than bad and they kept their foot on the gas. Dillon may be that ingredient that opens the flood gates on offense. And the effort and enthusiasm on defense looks like it's become contagious. But they're a young team, and this is when the vets and leaders and staff really need to keep everyone on the same page. If I remember correctly, the entire team felt great coming into the Niners playoff game too. This is a second big challenge in as many weeks. On the road, biggest rival playing better, a lot at stake. Beating the guy across from you and winning a majority of plays needs to be paramount.

Love the way Bakh put it, though, win and we GUARANTEE a week off.
That's motivation.
Similar to Holmgren showing them the stacks of bills they'd earn before playing SB31.
I don't have much to add this morning besides this
Phuck the Bears now and
them forever!
Will Snacks be ready to play for the Bears game, or will he have to go through some sort of protocol thing, first?
Snacks cannot play for the Bores game due to Covid regulations. Soonest would be playoffs
Holy ****
