Packers Suck


Bears are going to knock the snot out of them this weekend. Lambeau is no longer magical and Green will fumble twice.

The Bears don't scare me. The Packers mistakes do. As weird as it sounds, the Packers have a more talented team than last year except for the Dline. Stupid mistakes, turnovers, and taking teams lightly has been their downfall. The Chiefs and the Eagles are supposed to be 2 of the best teams in the league, and the Packers totally outplayed both and gave away both games. The Packers had a 17 point lead on the Chiefs in the 4th quarter and gave it away.

When the Packers have lost this year, it usually has come down to the last minute of the game. The Packers rarely get blown out. The Packers have the talent to beat anyone in the weak NFC if they get their heads in the game. Whether they do get their heads in the game for the entire 4 quarters is what worries me more than the Bears.

No one deserves to win the NFC north the way they are all playing at the moment.

Bears are currently playing the best football in the division IMO...probably a biased opinion LOL. But they are 4-2 over their last 6 games and have played pretty decent games the past 2 weeks against DEN and AZ.

Key is simple. Stop Green...and hopefully get into his head early with a fumble and (shuddering) make Favre beat you. I mean #4 has the record to show he is a Bear killer but I think this season more than any other he is showing to be erratic.

The Bears secondary has actually shown up and the run D has been average. Green is the key. I am waiting to see if the Bears can counter punch that big-heavy formation the Packers use to generate the running game. Not sure the Bears have the personnel to handle it effectively.

I think the Bears can move the ball against the Packers D but if Favre has a typical game against the Bears...

I don't expect the Bears to score a lot on offense unless the Packers turn it over a lot. The Packers defense got better when Joe Johnson was injured and put on IR for the year. He was washed up and worthless. Signing Grady Jackson a month ago has also helped stiffen up the Packer defense. He's made a big difference at the DT spot. He is stout against the run, and he helps push the pocket on passing attempts which has helped give KGB a few more opportunities to get to the QB since the QB can't always step up in the pocket like they were doing earlier in the year before Jackson arrived. The Packers were very fortunate to get a guy like Grady Jackson in the middle of the year.

Defensive Rookie of the year candidate Nick Barnett might be nicked up yet which could hurt, otherwise he's gotten better as the year has gone on. In my opinion he was the steal of the first round at the 29th pick. He's much better than over the hill Hardy Nickerson who we had last year.

I've seen parts of the last 2 Bears games while switching back and forth between 2 other games. Kordell seems to have more confidence than he had at the beginning of the season.

I'm hoping Favres thumb is better with the extra rest. He was just starting to get in a groove and move up near the top in QB ratings with some great games before he broke his thumb.

To me the game will either be a low scoring game that could go either way, or the Packers will show up with their game faces on and blow out the Bears. I don't see the Bears routing the Packers. You never know though I guess. I've seen a lot of crazy stuff this wacky season that surprised me because of parity. I still don't see a standout team in the NFC.

The Packers really blew it when they crapped the bed (ahh Tony Famgino) last week against Detroit. As poorly as the Vikings have been playing lately, you have to wonder about the Pack. They came out flat....this late in the year there is no excuse for that.

14-0 Bears 1st Quarter.

The Lambeau mystique is gone.

It's a good thing the Packers Suck like you say, otherwise the Bears would have really been routed today

http://www.packerpalace.com/palace96/rock9614a.html

I still say that no team from the NFC North deserves to be in the playoffs the way they are all playing, although I was amazed the way the Vikings routed the Seahawks today.

P.S. - Beat the Vikings next week!

I had high hopes...especially when the Bears jumped out 14-0. Oh well. This seals Jauron's fate IMO.

I hope we beat the Vikes and help you guys. Would rather the Packers win division than the Vikings.

I agree about Jauron. I hope he plays Grossman the rest of the way though. I'm curious to see how Grossman does because I've read more differing opinions about him before the draft than any other player in last years draft.

From today's paper:

"If the Packers and Vikings finish with identical records, they would have to go to the fourth tiebreaker - overall conference records. The Vikings, at 7-4, hold a half-game edge over Green Bay (7-5.) Minnesota has one conference game left against the Cardinals here Dec. 28."

Right - but they have to go through the Rams before they get to Arizona.

If the Rams can beat the Vikes and the Packers take care of business for their past two games - they should be okay.
