Really, lets not get into a pissing contest with Bears fans. I was down on the Bears all year, but, they're not here by accident. And who cares how they built their team?
Yeah. Who cares? We make trades and sign free agents, too. It's part of the game called football.
Its one of these games where it would be great to have Finley in the line up...
Good point.
Well, the Bears are way overdue for some bad luck.
Plus, they just had Seattle's key TE go down early in that game, John Carlson.
What would the Bears offense be like without Olsen after the 1st quarter?

Are you seriously implying that we won that game because John Carlson got injured?
I say what I mean, why do you try to keep putting words on here that I didn't say?
Translation: The Bears have gotten more breaks this season from week 1 on, than any other team in the NFL, and the Seahawks losing Carlson early was just another break for them. Not a huge one, but a good one. Imagine if it was Olsen who broke his head instead of Carlson. Deny that it would have impacted the Bears offense that day.
Of course, playing Seattle instead of New Orleans was also a nice little break there for the Bears and you know it because 100% of Bears fans were rooting for Seattle to beat New Orleans for just that reason.
This was a lucky break in case you forgot. Starting 0-1 with a home loss to the worst team in the division would have gotten them off to a terrible start and who knows what the result would have been.
Even though the ref at the 45 second mark with a perfect view called it a TD, somehow the Bears were able to get another ref to take the TD away, just like in the Packers game when they took Finley's away on a shaky holding call on Tauscher. There were dozens of worse holds that day against Matthews and Peppers and Zombo that weren't called.
So there you have it. What I am implying is what I said: The Bears have had more breaks this season than any other team, and there's no reason to think that won't continue Sunday. Are the Packers that much better than the Bears to overcome all that? We'll all find out Sunday.

I don't know, he's a very talented player but when he was out there this season he was the focal point of our offense. Since his injury Jennings took off and the ball was spread around nicely to Driver, Jones, and Nelson. The latter 2 has career seasons. At this point I'd much rather have Ryan Grant in the lineup than Finley.
i was just wondering if anyone has heard about farve reportly coming out and saying the packers group of recievers are probally the greatest group in the nfl today. I think its just another low blow at Rodgers as to how good he is playing and a way of saying its not that big of a deal because his recievers are so much better. I want Rodgers, Woodson, driver, tausher and clifton to get a ring so bad as they dont have long left and have been great team players for our franchise. We have so many great standout role models on our team actually no trash talk all hard workers great job by thompson and macarthy
Right, F**** Farve.
He had the same group, with Driver younger and better.
He also called his Minnesota Vikings the most talented team he's ever played on, last year.
Screw him.
I'd never retire his jersey if I was TT. Give #4 to the next punter or kicker.
Retire Desmond Howard's jersey instead. He was the Super Bowl MVP of the ONE ring Favre got.... and it should have been Reggie White as the MVP. Favre was just along for the ride for that one title.
When he tried to do it himself, he threw a game-losing INT every **** time.

Wow.... sometimes you just leave me completely speechless. Literally, I think Sarah Palin makes more sense than you sometimes and that is really tough to pull off. You just leave me dumbfounded sometimes with these types of useless post. I know you say what you mean but wow...
Tramon Williams has been added to the Pro Bowl roster. Asante Samuel pulled out
Great news for Tramon, he had deserved it, only down side is that it was kind of pointless to add him since he won't be able to play in the game anyways ;)

I think Rodgers learned from that this year and wont make that mistake next year. Finley is such a nightmare for game plans, you cannot say no to that.

Agreed, plus if we would have been able to get him back for this game, Rodgers has be in such a groove with those other 4 WR's that I think J-Mike would get a lot of favorable match ups and our offense would open up even more.
Grant would of course help though, he allows the Packers to run to open the pass over A-Rod needing to get rolling for our ground game to work. I am high on Starks and if the line gives him a crease he can explode through it, he has been only a couple shoe lace trips away from busting that huge run so I think he is due. Have to give credit to Atlanta though, they played outstanding run defense and didn't give him to many holes to work with.
I think if Starks can get a couple nice runs in that first drive Packers will be fine, I just hope that they don't have to rely solely on the passing game to win.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 100% of our starting offense, plus the #3, 4, and 5 WRs were all original Packers? Not FAs or trades, etc.
On D, we have Woodson, Pickett, Peprah, Fat Howard....?
