QUOTE (RZZZA @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 05:36 PM) Hey, maybe I'm wrong. It was just a thought. Wouldn't mind seeing a little more meanness out there. I'm reminded of an old quote about boxers: "I like em' mean. The meaner the better". I feel the same way about the defense Yes because we need more brain injuries to these young guys who will one day retire from their jobs (let's not forget, it's a job) and have them deal with the repercussions of hitting each other harder because, damn it, it's a Bears/Packers rivalry!! Look, I hate losing to the Pack as much as the next guy but my life doesn't depend on who won on Sunday.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 05:17 PM) I know this is one of those responding to absurdity with violence type things, but here we agree. These are vile, evil people and while I know it's an animalistic response, I'll make an exception in their case. These people need to be disposed of, violently. At least these idiots would know that showing up at funerals, where emotions are raw and people are grieving, would have reprecussions, like them getting their asses kicked. If taunting family members with chants of "those little kids are in hell" isn't reason enough to beat their asses, I don't know what is. Sorry, it just pisses me off that these families who have just experienced the worst possible thing that can happen to a parent, that they have to sit through those assholes adding to their grief. f*** that. I know it's not manly to admit it but I cried on Friday night when I found out about it since I have a 3 year old son in pre school and I don't know if I could ever get through what those poor people have to go through. If there is a God, may He help them get through it.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 05:07 PM) These guys aren't the 85 Bears, they need to play with an edge. Derrick Rose isn't chatting with Lebron during a game or helping him up when he falls. Whats so bad about giving Rodgers a pop? Nothing dirty just a hard hit to the midsection like they give Cutler? Instead they wrap him up and gingerly place him on the ground, then kiss him on the cheek and bring him some warm cocoa. It's awful You must've missed the shot Peppers got hit with the bogus late hit flag on Rodgers...it was a good clean hit but according to the refs, you can't hit Rodgers hard.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 04:28 PM) I've never heard of a DE being nice to a QB before honestly. Not on the field. These guys entire lives is basically to murder QBs, not to have a tea party with them. This entire team is missing a lot of meanness, I guess thats another thing to blame Lovie for. Basically the only guy who's willing to lay someone out on our team any more is Lance Briggs This is a load of crap, I remember the 85 Bears, they were not these crazed madmen trying to kill QBs, a few of their hardest hitters were friendly guys who would help the oppossing players up and even chat with them (Dent, Singletary, Fencik, Perry). The only nuts were Hampton and to a certain extent, McMichael. Players by and large don't "hate" the other team...Urlacher was always friendly to Favre even though he was out there trying to lay him out. I hope you realize that Derrick Rose doesn't really hate LeBron James and vice versa...

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 04:23 PM) I do not give a s*** if you respect Rodgers, save the friendly banter and respect until after the game. These punks have lost 6 in a row to the Packers including 2 embarrassing games at home where the crowd boos you, and they're on the field slapping hands and chatting with the enemy like a bunch of punks. Unacceptable. Is this real life?

I swear that if WBC members showed up to a funeral of a family member of mine to protest it, whether it would be because one of those little kids were related to me or if God forbid one of my cousins in Iraq (two were serving there) were killed, they'd have to peel me away from them. These are some sick twisted f***s.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 03:33 PM) The OL for the Packers has been banged up this year, but some of those sacks are on Rodgers. That play were Rodgers darted around in the pocket, rolled to his right and fired a strike downfield was a thing of beauty. I'll take that along with some sacks all day. You go from Favre to Rodgers, I hate you.

Another point, I heard yesterday that Rodgers has been sacked more than any other QB this season? I have a lot more respect for him after hearing that. Green Bay has had QB protection isues but that doesn't make Rodgers get pouty and ineffective. ARodg is just an awesome player, he gets the job done no matter what. To be fair though, he does have more weapons and has a HC who knows what an offense is.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 03:05 PM) That's why the Bears' GM was fired last year. and our biggest issue, the OL wasn't adressed. I f***ing hate being a Bears fan right now but I can't not root for them. I feel like a Cubs fan.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) If Jay Cutler was capable of winning a game for a team I would like the Bears chances. I personally think Jay Cutler is glorified more than he should be because the history of the QB position for the Bears is so bad. I so wanted Cutler to be the answer to our QB woes but as talented as he is and considering the garbage surrounding him, I have to agree with your post. He just makes too many boneheaded decisions out there, his mechanics is crap and his mental toughness is questionable. Every game you know he's gonna give the D two or three chances at an INT at the worst time. How many times did Rodgers throw a wtf pass yesterday? I can't recall even one... The Bears FO also needs to take a big share of the blame too, it's not all on Cutler. I still think we can win with him with a top notch QB coach and OC. The Bears for some reason haven't had that since I've been a fan and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 01:50 PM) The Packers defense isn't mediocre. It's certainly not elite and they don't flat out suck, they're in the middle=mediocre. GB's chances rest on Aaron Rodgers arm. Which might be enough BTW, everyone knows the reason the Giants have had success is because they are able to consistently put pressure on Rodgers without blitzing, something the Bears have also been able to do, the big difference is that the Giants have an offense that can score...

We've seen it before, a team barely gets in and goes on to win the SB, the last two years in fact. Could happen this year too. I just don't think the Bears have it in them, the OL is just too horrible. They made the mediocre GB defense look elite yesterday.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 08:25 AM) LOL. I love catching up on this thread monday mornings Edit: Also, I know most of you are Bears fans, but most people have been saying at least 2 of the 3 OPI calls on Jeffery were correct and the 3rd was iffy. I understand the game was called badly and apparently there were similar plays by GB not called penalties, but the actual OPI calls themselves weren't bad calls. If you aren't going to call those on GB's WRs, then don't call it against Chicago, that right there makes them bad calls. The Peppers "late hit" was crap, so was the PI on Conte. In the end, GB is the better team, they don't need refs helping them out...

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 08:53 AM) How Mason Crosby still has a job is crazy. I'll be surprised if he's your kicker in the playoffs.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 04:03 PM) Yeah, I actually loved what I saw from Jeffrey today. this the refs were horse s***, those off PIs hardly ever get called...especially when the DBs are also grabbing and pushing. Jeffrey gonna be a good WR.

I checked in at half time to post, I'm watching the game with two very biased pro GB spanish anouncers so reading this thread, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought those PI calls were utter garbage...these refs were atrocious. I'm not saying the Bears would've won if it weren't for those calls but gaddam it, do these refs ever see that all that pushing and shoving between WRs and CBs happen in every f***ing game? GB's DBs are especially guilty of grabbing the opposing WRs, they play very physical. Garbage refs...

The thing I'm most impressed by Rodgers is his football IQ, he just does not make dumb mistakes, neverforces the issue and doesn't give you opportunities at a INT. He's like the exact opposite of Favre in that respect. Hopefully we can make some adjustments on D, we're not pressuring Rodgers enough.

My wife told me as we were watching CNN last night that she wouldn't ever want to live in the US... This coming from someone who lives in Mexico, (though I have to add that we live in a city with no drug violence). I just thought it sounded weird... Just so depressing.

I'm at a loss for words...just so f***ing tragic and so unnecessary.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 02:17 PM) Packers are ONLY a 2.5 point favorite on Sunday. I'm fully expecting us to lose, after two games where we should've won, I'm not very hopeful for Sunday. I do think it'll be a close game but Cutler has just been awful against the Pack's D.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 02:13 PM) Our offense looked "so much better?" I thought it was pretty awful under Martz. ........................ You need a good O line to have a Martz offense and we haven't had a capable O line since the mid 2000s

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 01:10 PM) Cutler didnt have a great game, but he definitely played well enough to win. Hester and Davis once again were total let downs, and Alshon had a chance to make a great play as well. I will give Jeffery a small pass given that he is a rookie and has not been on the field much this year, but going forward those are plays he needs to make. To be fair, Cutler made a couple of bad overthrows on a wide open Davis, Hester's TD drop was inexcuseable. What the hell happened to Hester, he hasn't even been close to breaking a return the last bunch of games?

Cutler's mechanics were really horrible yesterday. There were a couple of throws he made from his back foot even though he had a pocket and could've stepped into the throw. You can't blame him too much, he has a horrible O line and is probably shell shocked. He made some bad decisions, made some bad throws, had two TDs dropped and made a few nice passes. My only hope vs Green Bay is that it's not a nationally televised night game...

My dad, who came from Mexico in 1969 and settled on Chicago's SE side, was a Yankees fan growing up. He used to get free tickets from US Steel and he would take me and my brother along with co-workers of his. The first game I can remember, Steve Kemp hit a game winning HR against the Tigers IIRC. My Pops eventually switched his allegiance to the White Sox. I actually grew up liking both the Sox and the Cubs, most of my friends were Cubs fans even though we lived in what should've been deep Sox territory. The Cubs games were all on WGN while the Sox were mostly on cable, that really had a negative impact on Sox popularity in the 80s. Anyways, that 83 team locked me in on the Sox and Harold Baines is my fave all time Sox player. I'll do all I can to make sure my son, who is on my avi, also becomes a Sox fan.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 2, 2012 -> 04:04 PM) I'm of the opinion that winning 6 of 7 in the NFL actually is 'lighting the world on fire' but what do I know. ok ok, the Packers are running away with the division, we should forfeit the upcoming game against them at Soldier Field, we've no shot, happy now? Me, I think we have a good shot at the division, so sue me.
