Packers vs bears "officialgame discussion thread"

[boston77yankees]

I just can't see packers loosing 2 first games at home.

I still have packers -6

[bhavr]

GO BEARS!!!!!!!!;)

[gonzagacubs]

I just can't see packers loosing 2 first games at home.



I can. Last Sunday's game really wasn't that close.

Go Bears.

[jusdukky]

If the Packers can't play better defense and find some semblance of a running game they will have a tough time with the Bears. Definitely a big game for them after losing to the Niners.

[ntgm37]

Yep, pack 0-2. They suck.

[jbellis74]

In a perfect world for me.......

Rodgers throws for 350 yards with 3 TD's but the Bears win..

Rodgers in my fantasy QB and my gf is from Chicago so she is an avid Bears fan

[newton615]

4 sacks for Peppers, da bears

[packmn12]

gonna be 5 straight wins against da Bears for the Pack.

[PDawson21]

Bears win 28-21.

[howethegreat]

Clay Matthews overrated. Rodgers not but he cannot win a game by himself anymore. Bears by 5

[matt roberson]

Go pack go! it'll be close...31-24 packers win.

[doobypenguin]

as a big bears fan, its hard for me to say the packers will win. I think they can still win without greg jennings, but there is a chance the bears can still pull it off in lambeau if Bears defense steps it up.. 26-24 Bears. Gould 52 yard field goal ftw!

[saintsfan9]

packers start 0-4.

I was kidding at first and then saw seahawks/saints, could be a 1-3 start.

[dherm360]

Packers 48 Bears 28

[packmn12]

Clay Matthews overrated. Rodgers not but he cannot win a game by himself anymore. Bears by 5

Just wondering how is Clay Matthews overrated? Do you ever watch him play?

[mmkyszka]

Should be a fun game to watch. Packers will focus on Marshall and Jeffery and Bennett will both have big games as well as forte. With Greg Jennings out I see the score being 41-28 bears. Cutler has another big game and so does Tim Jennings. Will be a good game no matter what happens

[addicted36]

Bears will be upended, no chance Packers go 0-2 to start the season

I'm glad its a watchable game, unlike monday's raiders/chargers borefest.

[saintsfan9]

There is definately a chance.

[bradsholly]

<<<<<<<<<< packers fan and I say the bears win 38-24, bears are just that much better this year, they made the moves they needed to make to be the team to beat (besides the niners)!!

[a-train10]

27-24 Bears. Forte runs all day.

[nickha2]

Your not a packer fan if u think they are going to lose sorry.

[bdubs3316]

Your not a packer fan if u think they are going to lose sorry.

I don't understand this logic. A fan of a team can have an opinion that their favorite team can/will lose. Just because you're a fan doesn't mean you have to say your team will go 19-0....there is a thing called being realistic.

I'm obviously a Lions fan...and I think we'll lose to the 49ers. does that mean i'm not really a fan of the Lions? Answer is: No. I'm a realist. There is a chance that the Lions can beat the 49ers, and I'm hoping they do. But I think there is more likelihood that the Lions lose.

[nickha2]

The difference is lions fan that the packers win championships and are a championship caliber team. We dont think we are going to lose ever.

[addicted36]

Bears will be upended, no chance Packers go 0-2 to start the season

No I said there is NO chance so there is NO chance end of story :rolleyes:

Started the Packers Defense and like I said, no chance the Bears were ever in this game

[addicted36]

The difference is lions fan that the packers win championships and are a championship caliber team. We dont think we are going to lose ever.

I don't think Stafford will ever win a championship or ever have more then 5 seasons where he doesn't miss significant time due to injury since the guys made of glass. Aaron Rodgers on the other hand will win 2 more titles before he retires. And they won't start the year off 0-2 that's just cray like those Lions fans

http://www.vibe.com/sites/vibe.com/files/styles/slide_image/public/images/crazy-moment-1.jpg

[Ballerskrip]

Admittedly I am huge Bears fan, and I feel the game will be extremely close. Packers Defense is extremely questionable, Jennings is out, and the Running game is suspect. BUT, I have a feeling the Bears O-line won't hold up against the Pack, and I have a feeling they will sack Cutler 4-5 times and cause 2-3 turnovers.

I see a 28-27 type game.

[jfranks7295]

packers will win...

[bdubs3316]

so much wrong here...i dont know where to start

[bradsholly]

The difference is lions fan that the packers win championships and are a championship caliber team. We dont think we are going to lose ever.

packers didn't win last year and everyone might as well have given them the trophy week 1 last year

truth is...the packs defense is barely improved, the offense is about the same, maybe a lil uptick from benson, and everyone knows that if you pressure rodgers early and often, he isn't as dangerous as when you give him time to rip apart your defense!!

the bears made some bold moves this off season, kept the same defense (that was pretty stout) and added michael bush (a #1 back on almost any other team), have forte back, picked up Brandonmarshall (arguably one of the best WR's in the league) drafted alshon jeffreys, and finally got a set of wide receivers to play in the league, the only thing they were missing to be a SB caliber team.

so am I a packers fan.......yes
do I want them to win thursday.........yes!!!!
are they going to win thursday......probably not, the packers struggle against their D, and the bears offense is pretty effing good, against probably the worst d in the league 2.0

the packers can rush a qb??? when did that start???? I can tell you when it ended, when they got a ring!!

[sljock53]

No way the packers offence looks that bad again... Niners are the best d in the league... bears...not so much... packers 28-14

[HBMC]

Didn't realize you were on the team. :rolleyes:

[HBMC]

You can tell they miss Cullen Jenkins

[kdub0982]

its gonna be close as rivalry games usually are, but I think its the bears that come out on top

[trixstar]

No way the packers offence looks that bad again... Niners are the best d in the league... bears...not so much... packers 28-14

lol there's no way the Packers D is holding the Bears to 14 pionts

[dvstringz]

I think Perry breaks out this game with Matthews...with Defense doing enough to win. Cutler prone to throw us a few picks...

[boston77yankees]

Packers will win by double digiths cover -6 easily

[lambeauleap87]

Should be a good game; looking forward to it. Hopefully there will be a better officiating crew than Sunday's game at Lambeau...

[Lockdown32]

Will be a great game! I think it will be close till the end. Hopefully the Bears pull out the win!

[Haiku]

As of now the O/U is 51 1/2 and I'm leaning towards over.

[Zacky1053]

Why do outlets keep referencing Jay Cutler/the Bears' struggles against the Packers in the last few years?

Even Packers' fans know it's been generations (probably) since the Bears had a WR like Brandon Marshall. And Alshon Jeffery's no slouch on the other side at 6'3 either.

[trixstar]

A league source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter it "sounds like 50/50" as to whether Greg Jennings (groin, doubtful) suits up for Thursday's game against the Bears.
Jennings is looking to pull a Jason Witten and play despite a "doubtful" tag. Doubtful designations technically mean there's a 25 percent chance a player suits up, but doubtful players almost always end up sitting out. The Packers could just be doing their best to keep the Bears on their toes. If you're an owner, it's still safest to assume Jennings will be out. Even if he does play, owners with depth at receiver might be wise to opt for a healthier option.


The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel confirms the Packers plan to utilize WR/KR Randall Cobb as an "omnipresent mismatch" on offense.
After playing in the backfield just twice all of last season, Cobb lined up there 20 times in the opener in addition to 15 snaps at receiver. "That package provides some matchup problems," Cobb said. "We don't know if any team is going to have an answer for it." The Packers are using Cobb more like Darren Sproles than Percy Harvin. His impressive run-after-catch ability will become even more evident when he doesn't have to face the 49ers' fast-closing linebackers and safeties. We are starting him with confidence as a WR3 option this week.


ten character rule blows

[boston77yankees]

Packers are my bet I just placed packers -6 risking 150
Still have 50 available

[ssbledsoe]

I'll take the team that looked bad playing against a SB contender over the team that had its "coming out party" at home, against a team with a rookie QB, that's rebuilding, and was the worst team in the league last year.
The Packers Defense may not be elite, but they're miles ahead of the Colts D. They'll have no trouble holding the Bears to 30 or less. Conversely, the Packers offense is miles ahead of the Colts (TY Hilton anyone), and they won't struggle scoring 30+. Pack 38 Bears 30.

[EricInCT]

As of now the O/U is 51 1/2 and I'm leaning towards over.


I think the over is a suckers bet. Cutler looked positively awful in game 1. He really did if you saw it from start to finish. Guys open all over the place and overthrowing them where it wasn't even close then that horrendous pick 6 in the shadow of his own endzone.

SF has a much better D than the bears especially in the passing game and pass rush. While they will have a hard time stopping forte it is the 3rd and 2 and 3rd and 5 where the burden and pressure is on Cutler to make the big throw. I see more punts than big plays.

Put me down for 28-21, I honestly couldn't pick a side.

Maybe a teaser of bears and over for the ultimate suckers bet!

He ended the game throwing 20 of 25 for 2 tds and 320 yards after starting 1 for 10 with the pick six. Started awful. Played the last 50 min of the game unbelievable. I watched the whole game and only saw him overthrow one pass too Kellen Davis who is god awful and apparently ran the wrong route. Most of his incompletions wereiss check does or missed swing passes. Played much better then your saying he did idk of you watched the whole game but from what I saw (watched every play) he played very very well most of the game

[Haiku]

So far took the over 10 on the 1st and
Over 10 1/2 for the bears in the first half.

[Gator993]

Saw now signs the GB pass defense has improved from last year. That opened them up for several back door covers last year. With a pretty good Chicago offense I will Take the Bears +6.

I watched and saw several drops by Brandon Marshall. I don't think Cutler looked that bad after the shaky start at all.

[boston77yankees]

$50 available on the packers tonight anyone

Packers -5

[chansen10]

Its a statement game for greenbay 42-21

[Haiku]

$50 available on the packers tonight anyone

Packers -5

Good luck Bud! If I don't win, I hope you win! :)!

[freethrowtommy]

Should be a fun game to watch. Packers will focus on Marshall and Jeffery and Bennett will both have big games as well as forte. With Greg Jennings out I see the score being 41-28 bears. Cutler has another big game and so does Tim Jennings. Will be a good game no matter what happens

Don't forget about our bet! Game time, bro!

Difference: He won't be working with a 10+ point lead in this one.

He only settled down after they took the lead.

[boston77yankees]

Good luck Bud! If I don't win, I hope you win! :)!

Confirm good luck bro
also have 30 pending with ilikethatcard good luck also

[mmkyszka]

Don't forget about our bet! Game time, bro!

Oh trust me I didn't forget!hoping for a fun close game! Hopefully Bears will be able to surprise some people but you never know what will happen!

[Zacky1053]

Forget who wins who benefits more from Jennings being out: James Jones or Randall Cobb?

[Haiku]

Forget who wins who benefits more from Jennings being out: James Jones or Randall Cobb?

I think this will be the key focus of the Game. Can Cobb or Jones draw the attention of the D?

[Zacky1053]

I think this will be the key focus of the Game. Can Cobb or Jones draw the attention of the D?

And I guess don't forget Donald Driver. Nowhere near the threat of the other two but maybe that makes him a sleeper. Doubt it though.

[MSD]

I'd put $25 on the Packers -5, anyone game?

[trixstar]

EDIT nevermind

[lambeauleap87]

Well, that was quick. Gotta catch that, Jordy...

[jiggidy]

Nice play Lovie. 3rd & 19 and a run up the gut.

[lambeauleap87]

Nice play Lovie. 3rd & 19 and a run up the gut.

No balls....

[jiggidy]

Cutler getting frustrated early. Could be good for the Packers.

[trixstar]

Ugly ugly game so far

[lambeauleap87]

Defenses look solid...like what the officials have done thus far. Missed a few calls, sure, but for the most part are just letting the players play. That's what you should do when you're a replacement.

[1eyed_jack]

bad start by both teams. Perhaps I should have started Peyton Manning over Cutler, but I thought with the Packs D Cutler would have a good game

[jiggidy]

bad start by both teams. Perhaps I should have started Peyton Manning over Cutler, but I thought with the Packs D Cutler would have a good game

See I had the opposite thought. I have the Packers D so I figured Cutler was good for a couple picks and hopefully a pick 6.

[lambeauleap87]

Great to see Cedric Benson have some success...he's running hard. Always thought of him as a guy that has to get his carries to be effective.

[lambeauleap87]

Jordy Nelson looks like he's had his hands replaced with those of James Jones this year...

[1eyed_jack]

See I had the opposite thought. I have the Packers D so I figured Cutler was good for a couple picks and hopefully a pick 6.

Haha, well at least one of us will be happy tonight!


But I'm a Bears fan through and through, so as long as the Bears win I don't care about my fantasy game

[jiggidy]

His favorite song.... I'm On A Boat

[bigeric]

Rough start for Jordy already 2 drops. Last throw to him was tough, but being the packers top receiver he has to make the catch

[jiggidy]

Haha, well at least one of us will be happy tonight!


But I'm a Bears fan through and through, so as long as the Bears win I don't care about my fantasy game

lol. I'm a Lions fan so kind of hoping the Bears will win to keep the Packers down but I have a lot of Packers players on both of my fantasy teams.

[lambeauleap87]

His favorite song.... I'm On A Boat

I see what you did there...

Rough start for Jordy already 2 drops. Last throw to him was tough, but being the packers top receiver he has to make the catch

He's been struggling; had a bad week last week, too. Reminiscent of the Super Bowl where he had a huge game, but he dropped a #@#@#@#@-ton of passes. With Jennings out, he's gotta make those catches.

[Razorsharp79]

Nice blooper throw by Rodgers, hope this game gets more exciting, starting to yawn...

[a-train10]

This is painful...

[Zacky1053]

This is painful...

Can't disagree with you there

[jiggidy]

So Bears 3rd and Long just expect them to run it.....OK I see you Lovie

[WalterAZ31]

Cutler has to drive Bears' fans crazy

i don't trust him personally, the guy reminds me an awful lot of Kevin Kolb. Both have that gunslinger mentality, both make poor decisions, and both hold onto the football wayyyyy too long for the most part

[KevJo]

Time Warner SUCKS!

Kevin

[lambeauleap87]

This game has been awful so far...Cedric Benson and the Packers defense thus far (knock on wood) are my high points.

[a-train10]

Cutler sure does look uncomfortable in the pocket. Hopefully he heats up in the 2nd Q like last week.

[jiggidy]

Bears fans, hows the weather over there now? My Tigers - White Sox game is still on Weather Delay. Verlander - Sale matchup would probably keep me on that game over this Packers - Bears game so far.

[Josh611]

Eh Light Rain. Remember that game we played against the Red Sox I think where it was a down pour, the Tigers were down but load the bases and then they call the game. Yeah maybe we wont be tied for the lead after tonight.

[a-train10]

Come on.... That's just great.

[Zacky1053]

oh cmon how the HELL do you call that??

what a joke

If it's called live okay but that was not CONCLUSIVE evidence

[lambeauleap87]

Is that even something you can challenge, or did they just take advantage of the replacements?

Jeebus, Jermichael, #@#@#@#@ing block somebody...

Come on Bears!

"The Packers are challenging that thier were 12 defenders on the field".

That call brought a giant WTF look to my face...and I'm a Packers fan. Wonder what, if anything, the exact wording on a 12th player entering/leaving the field of play are.

Me as well, but I'm a Bears fan.

Whoever "borrowed" our jerseys last Sunday, do you think you can get to Lambeau by the second half?

[lambeauleap87]

Return by Hester seems to have sparked the Bears offense a bit.

[Zacky1053]

What a tough job being a color commentator is :rolleyes:

Kiss the ass of someone when they make a good play, rip em a new one when they make a mistake. lol

[jiggidy]

wow that was a dumb move.

[lambeauleap87]

Second guy always gets caught...LOL. Punk.

[a-train10]

Aww, come on! This is insane...

[WalterAZ31]

nice job by Hawk, acting like he got shot from the relatiation shove

these officials are garbage

[1eyed_jack]

nice job by Hawk, acting like he got shot from the relatiation shove

yeah, obvious flop by Hawk.

I know the second guy always gets caught, but that still doesn't make it right and it's still a bad call

[lambeauleap87]

yeah, obvious flop by Hawk.

I know the second guy always gets caught, but that still doesn't make it right and it's still a bad call

...but it also doesn't change the fact that Carimi is an idiot with a temper. Can't be doing that.

Clay Matthews obviously didn't eat his dinner before the game because he's HUNGRY :(

[a-train10]

Benson has something to show us, apparently.

[lambeauleap87]

Randall Cobb...wow. He's been fantastic the first six quarters of this season. Him and Benson look great out of the backfield.

Marshall Newhouse #@#@#@#@ing sucks.

[Zacky1053]

Bears' defense making JUST enough plays to keep the Bears in it.

[Zacky1053]

Geeze every time someone gets a sack they almost suckerpunch the ref getting ready to celebrate. lol

[1eyed_jack]

Just talked to my brother who lives in WI, he's listening to the game on the radio and apparently the GB announcers were talking about how Carimi launched himself at Hawk on that play, and of course no mention that Hawk was in fact the one who threw the cheap shot

[MI Rob]

Nice play Bulaga :rolleyes:

It's Wisconsin radio...what exactly do you expect them to say? If you're listening in Chicago, Carimi probably did nothing wrong and was just trying to pat AJ on the back for a job well done.

[a-train10]

Damn it... What the hell is that?!

[Zacky1053]

You gotta be kidding me.........

[shadymccoy25]

Damn 7 sacks between the two teams already.

[Haiku]

Wow!!!! Great time for a fake!!

[jiggidy]

Oh wow. Who woulda thought that's how the first TD was going to be scored. Ballsy and it worked.

How come my Packers DST doesn't get that TD though? That was a Special Teams TD was it not?

[lambeauleap87]

#@#@#@#@ yeah! Tom Crabtree...most hilarious Twitter account ever. Used to hate him, have grown to absolutely love him.

[packmn12]

yea baby! that a boy Crabtree

[Zacky1053]

That was a risky toss too

[MI Rob]

I'm surprised there wasn't a holding call on that trick play.

[WalterAZ31]

lol, Cutler blows

[nickha2]

Theres the cutler i know

[a-train10]

I'm done with this one, for now... Can't watch anymore.

[Deathgate]

And the punter now has a 158.3 QB rating...

[lambeauleap87]

Is that Mike Mayock with Nessler? Jeebus, he's horrible.

[nickha2]

Im a packers fan and that is no way an interception

[Zacky1053]

Is that Mike Mayock with Nessler? Jeebus, he's horrible.

That's why I hate the NFL Network games. lol you think the league's Namesake network would get good announcers.

[MI Rob]

Cutler is SO GOOD

[MI Rob]

That INT will be overturned.

[lambeauleap87]

That's why I hate the NFL Network games. lol you think the league's Namesake network would get good announcers.

He's god-awful. I don't know whether that's an interception or not, it's too close to call. But he's SURE it's not an interception...the way he's talking, you'd think everyone related to the Packers organization slammed his wife or stole his lunch money.

[Zacky1053]

That INT will be overturned.

Two missed replays now for the refs. Granted that one was the guy in the booth.

[a-train10]

That INT will be overturned.

Wow, this is unbelievable. What BS calls we are getting.

[Zacky1053]

Wow, this is unbelievable. What BS calls we are getting.

Not like we'd be up 27-0 without them though.

[Zacky1053]

lol NFL.com listing Tim Masthay as the active QB

[lambeauleap87]

The first one was awful...I didn't even know that was something you could challenge. I understand the interception because I don't know that there's inconclusive evidence, IMO. Might be the Packers fan in me talking, but it could've gone either way.

[a-train10]

Not like we'd be up 27-0 without them though.

Oh, I know that. It'd probably be 7-0 (GB) if they went our way though. Alot easier than 10-0, without possesion of the ball in decent scoring position.

[lambeauleap87]

Maybe Jay Cutler should try not pissing off the guy responsible for not letting Clay Matthews eat him alive...

[Zacky1053]

The first one was awful...I didn't even know that was something you could challenge. I understand the interception because I don't know that there's inconclusive evidence, IMO. Might be the Packers fan in me talking, but it could've gone either way.

No I agree (as a Bears' fan). The ball can touch the ground if he controls it and notice they said the call "Stands" not that it was "Confirmed" meaning they couldn't overturn it based on conclusive evidence so the default is call stands

[lambeauleap87]

No I agree (as a Bears' fan). The ball can touch the ground if he controls it and notice they said the call "Stands" not that it was "Confirmed" meaning they couldn't overturn it based on conclusive evidence so the default is call stands

I noticed that, too...I'm glad they use that language (confirmed vs. stands) so that there's clarity about what they're seeing.

13-0, possession to start the second half.

Not bad considering how ugly the Bears' offense was in the first half.

[nickha2]

I absolutely hate this rule. If any part of the ball hits the ground it is incomplete. Why the rule says it can hit the ground is stupid. Anyone else notice the cameras for fgs make it look like hes kicking from his own endzone

[jiggidy]

Wow awesome Fantasy matchup I have going right now.

I have: Finley and J. Jones for a total of 1.2 Pts.

My opponent has: Rodgers and Gould for a total of 4.12 Pts.

Decided between picking up Jones or Cobb minutes before game time. I chose Jones. lol

[lambeauleap87]

I sure as hell didn't expect the Packers D to hold them to a goose egg in the first half...sure hope they can keep it up!

[jiggidy]

Loving them -.5 pts as much as me too huh :D

[Burt-Reynolds]

any chance they can fly in the craptastic duo from monday night of the dilf and berman in for the 2nd half of this game? that's how bad this commentary crew is. this color guy if that's what you can call him is absolute dogsh!t.

[lionsfan20]

After week 1 I was a little worried about paying the bears this year but that worry has faded away. All the experts have been saying the bears might be the team to beat in the nfc north. I don't see it. It will be between lions and packers again.

The Lions weren't very encouraging in week one, either, for what it's worth. NFC North is wide open at this point...

Dude its been 1 half of play anything can happen

[dherm360]

Even Vikings fans have hope

Webb and Newhouse are garbage left tackles

[1eyed_jack]

not a fan at all of that shot of Briggs laughing on the sidelines after dropping that INT

Lions need to come out and prove what they can do against the Niners. A drive at the end of the game to beat the Rams doesn't impress me. We played well the entire game but Stafford made 3 BAD decisions which kept the Rams in the game. Stafford will need to play much better this week to beat the Niners. I believe in him.

Also can't count out the Bears in this game. Been some crazy Division games in recent memory.

[armyatc22]

Come on Bears get some points on the board....I'm playing against GB's Defense in 3 leagues what the hell...

[lionsfan20]

Dude its been 1 half of play anything can happen

Doesnt matter I have seen enough chicago looks exactly the same as they were last year. Detroit didnt get any worse so I am not worried. Green bay is not invincible either so I am feeling good about the lions chances this year. We will learn a lot about the lions sunday night when they play the niners. I am looking forward to that game.

[WalterAZ31]

again, Cutler makes a terrible decision and throws a lob off his back foot thats almost picked off

[jiggidy]

that time of the month for Cutler???

http://www.drewlitton.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/cultlerpoutpout.gif

[lambeauleap87]

that time of the month for Cutler???

I wonder if his knee hurts yet...

[gonzagacubs]

Bears O-Line is killing them. Can't sustain any sort of drive because they haven't ran the ball and Cutler has got a Packer in his face everytime he drops back. Packers dominating TOP right now.

That fake FG for the TD was ridiculous.

[MI Rob]

Nice off-balance throw into double coverage Cutler!

[mnvikingstwins]

Any video of how the heck the punter had a TD pass to a nobody?

[jiggidy]

"College football he's down" "Heh Heh" ..... SMH

[packmn12]

lol @ butterfingers Marshall

[jiggidy]

Marshall has to make that catch. Ouch.

[mnvikingstwins]

Gophers representing!
(10:51) J. Cutler pass short middle to M. Spaeth to GB 33 for 4 yards.

[a-train10]

B-Marsh! C'mon, man!


Yeah, I'm back. Couldn't stay away.

[lionsfan20]

lol same ol brandon marshal has a serious case of the dropseys! That guy is not an elite receiver I don't know why people ever thought he was.

[nickha2]

That ball was over thrown

[bhavr]

Nice catch marshall:rolleyes: just when I though I might have some points on my fantasy team:eek: yep goosegg for Marshall

[jimssouvenirs]

Damn Alshon needs more targets. Guy is a beaaaaaast. I'm going to regret playing him this week :(

[KevJo]

Matt Forte is Beast, whats next him playing on D as well!

Kevin

[bhavr]

What's with forte? He was on the trainers table?

[MI Rob]

Damn Alshon needs more targets. Guy is a beaaaaaast. I'm going to regret playing him this week :(

Same thing was said when the Bears aquired B. Marshall.

[a-train10]

Matt Forte is Beast, whats next him playing on D as well!

Kevin

Bears need 3 or 4 more of him.

[Razorsharp79]

stonehands Marshall, throw it to jeffrey, he catches everything within reach and he is on my FF team lol

[lionsfan20]

That ball was over thrown

lol if a ball hits both of your hands you better catch it. Especially when you are suppose to be the elite receiver on your team. All off season we heard about how the bears were now complete as they had a weapon for cutler and him and marshal were the missing element to get them back to the super bowl.:rolleyes:

[Zacky1053]

Forte headed to the locker room. We might see why picking up Michael Bush was so important.

[bhavr]

Forte headed to the locker room

Just saw that, don't think it's his knee looks like the ankle

[a-train10]

Haha, "He 'jacked' Kuhn into Benson". What is that supposed to mean?!

[Razorsharp79]

cutler 7/15 for 70 with 1 INT = PATHETIC

[lambeauleap87]

John Kuhn is the man. Been a fan of his since '08, well ahead of the crowd. :)!

[lionsfan20]

That is bad news on forte he is definitely the best player on that team.

[ninjacookies]

Andddddddddddddddddddddddddddd...this is why teams never want to offer RB's long term contracts, even the best ones.

[lambeauleap87]

I'd rather Forte stay in the game...

[jiggidy]

That wasn't a penalty on Raji??

[Zacky1053]

That wasn't a penalty on Raji??

Apparently almost clotheslining a guy is not unless he grabs the facemask

[nickha2]

Love me some charles woodson!

[Razorsharp79]

the bears are horrible..............

[a-train10]

Aye.......

[ninjacookies]

Cutler in his prime Favre/gunslinger/INT mode right now. Good to have him back.

[lambeauleap87]

But...but...but...Jay Cutler is so good!

[sd_navarre]

Chuckie :flex:

[Zacky1053]

the bears are horrible..............

Playing on a Thursday the second week of the season probably doesn't help but the Packers are on the same schedule too.

[lionsfan20]

When are the bears going to learn what denver learned years ago?? Cutler is not an elite quarterback. He is a good backup at best. Although his receivers are not helping him out he just isnt an elite QB IMO.

As a Bears fan I don't entirely disagree. I don't think he's an elite QB, but I do think he's an middle of the road QB. Better than a backup and player that can win with the right team around him, but he has poor mechanics and panics under pressure.

[Zacky1053]

You don't have to be elite to be a starter. Regardless he's 10x better than anyone else the Bears have put back there the last 5-7 years.

[ninjacookies]

He is a turnover machine, and history proves this. However, just to play devils' advocate...if Marshall never dropped that pass in the endzone, the complexion/momentum of this game would have been completely different right now.

[Zacky1053]

and panics under pressure.

Which can't be good when the offensive line is like it is.

[Zacky1053]

And of course Cedric Benson having an epiphany of sorts against his former team.

[lambeauleap87]

Cedric Benson has done a great job of making something out of nothing tonight.

[Zacky1053]

If that's a catch and fumble that is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

[ninjacookies]

Great punch. Almost got both balls, if you know what I mean.

[1eyed_jack]

Which can't be good when the offensive line is like it is.

Exactly.

it's a bad combination to have a bad o-line and a QB who panics under pressure.

Some quarterbacks perform quite well under a lot of pressure, but unfortunately for the Bears, Cutler is not one of them

[lambeauleap87]

Another drop by Finley...damn. Pack can't hang onto the ball tonight!

[lionsfan20]

You don't have to be elite to be a starter. Regardless he's 10x better than anyone else the Bears have put back there the last 5-7 years.

I totally agree. I was just trying to remember who the last good QB chicago had and I honestly could not think of one. I keep thinking of Jim Mchaman lol. I think the bears have been relying on their great defense for a long time and never having a real offense. That great defense is getting a little old(briggs, urlacher)

[a-train10]

Forte done for the day...

[Zacky1053]

Yeah no doubt about that.

[jiggidy]

Finley + J. JOnes in fantasy for me = -0.4 pts. F*** me.

[gonzagacubs]

Can you not be a total homer for a few minutes? Ok, thanks.

Your team barely beat a Rams team who will be lucky if they win 4 games this year. It took a TD in the last 10 seconds to beat them. Your QB, as you would probably put it, did his best Jay Cutler impersonation by throwing 3 Ints with one of them being returned for a TD. Not exactly setting the world on fire. Besides which, your team plays San Fran this weekend, and will likely have the same record as the Pack and Bears if this game holds up and your team plays like total garbage again this weekend.

Let the games play out for a bit before you decide to run your mouth.

[lionsfan20]

You're a Lions fan, aren't you?

Yeah whats your point? I hope you are not comparing your QB to stafford or any of your receivers to theirs lol!? Chicago has had a better defense then detroit for a long time but cutler is no stafford and I don't think a bears receiver would make the detroit practice squad lol.

[Zacky1053]

Finley + J. JOnes in fantasy for me = -0.4 pts. F*** me.

Didn't notice it was Jones that missed that TD catch until the replay. Stuck between being a Bears' fan and wanting to get production from my fantasy team. I figured Jones could do well but the Bears could keep up. ughhhh

Its called being a fan lol. You may not have confidence in your team but I do in mine. Detroit made the playoffs by winning games in the fourth quarter last year so not sure what that matters.

This game is almost over so I don't know how much more we can let it play out?? lol

Maybe you missed where I bolded. Cutler is better than a "Good backup", and you know that. Don't turn this into a "Lions thread", k? You'll get your own (I'm sure) on Sunday, so wait until then to throw around your homerism.

[jimssouvenirs]

Getting raped by Jeffrey tonight. Glad I snagged Bush out of Free Agency though, even if it does mean having to play Kevin Smith against the 49ers this week :(

This is a division game and the lions are in this division so deal with it lol. Don't get mad at me because your team came out and laid an egg. I am sure you and the packers fans will be in our thread smashing us if we are losing to the niners. I am just giving my opinion on cutler and marshal I don't think that is against the law?? I don't think I am the only one who feels that way about those players.

[Razorsharp79]

alshon put up 22 last week, did i play him NO
alshon put up 0 so far, did I play him YES = dumb azz

cutler sucks, he throws like a girl, worst QB in the NFL

that 3 INTS, good job cutler, the ball was only thrown into double coverage and underthrown

High point of the night for me tonight...Tweeted, "Who's a worse announcer, Mike Mayock or Bernie Kosar?" because Kosar was generally awful. Got a nice reply from Bernie, which was pretty cool!

Oh my Cutler. Thought Traman was going to drop the gift for a minute

[VikingsAllDay]

Cutler -3 fantasy points

23-3 now wow

I'll let someone else handle this comment.

Well, you're the only guy talking about the Lions in this thread.


Please, "if". ;):rolleyes:

[gonzagacubs]

What the frack was that Jay Cutler?

Good thing it is only Week 2. Good game Packers.

[Qwasian]

I really thought the bears were a little better team than what they are showing

[jedi500]

Jay cutler sucks

Im sure I will see plenty of you in lions threads sunday night...lol

LMFAO did the announcer just call cutler an all pro

[jiggidy]

Almost sacked...........almost picked

[Zacky1053]

LMFAO did the announcer just call cutler an all pro

No he was joking about him and Woodson talking about the Pro Bowl.

[Razorsharp79]

Tebow is a better QB than Cutler, this is awful

[bhavr]

Bears o-line looks great:rolleyes:

[Broski044]

Tebow is a better QB than Cutler, this is awful



They both suck.

[addicted36]

Bears will be upended, no chance Packers go 0-2 to start the season

There is definately a chance.


No I said there is NO chance so there is NO chance end of story :rolleyes:

Started the Packers Defense and like I said, no chance the Bears were ever in this game

[Zacky1053]

And Aaron Rodgers just gave the Bears new life (Although it probably won't help)

[gonzagacubs]

Tim Jennings playing another good game tonight. Nice to see.
