NFL Week 16

STILL SUCK!!!

Sorry, perfect set up on that one.

Actually, my prediction to day is Bears by about 10
We definitely suck. a 10-4 record is deplorable. Oh, wait, I'm pretty sure that 3-11 record is a lot worse than 10-4. Especially against an easier schedule...

Also, the Bears have more guys injured for today than the Bears, so don't give me the injury crap.

Talk to me when we're dancing into Detroit on the happy bus. in February.

Jesus you sure can't take or recognize a joke can you? How in hell can I possibly defend my Pack? I can't. Take a chill pill for God's sake!

I'm pretty sure that's wrong. Pack is using their #3 back (Fisher), having lost #1 (Green), #2 (Davenport), and #4 Lee, then had to sign 2 guys this season from other teams prctice squads (Gado from KC now out for the rest of the season) and Heron from Steelers who is playing today.

Wide receivers: #1 Walker out first game. #2 Driver playing. #3 Ferguson played 2 games and is now out for the rest of the year, #4 Murphy injured 2nd game of the season and out rest of year. #5 Thurman playing and they had to sign Rod Gardner this year juist get to get back to 3 healthy 3 wide outs.

Starting TE: Franks out most of the year and out for rest of season.

Starting punter: out for rest of season.

Staring Center: Flanagan - out most of year - started today, but then out after having played only a couple series.

You want me to start with the defense?

Don't tell me more Bears starters are injured. That's just plain not true. I'll bet even your Bears' compatriots would admit that. Anyone who knows football will tell you injuries have played a huge role in the Packers downfall this year and have contributed to Favre's awful season. You've seen it today, no playmakers in the red zone for him to go to. But in addition to that, he's been just plain bad.

Anyway, like I said above. All in good fun. If you can't take it, so be it.

That was a good last quarter. I can't wait till the Bears get picked apart by a real offense.
Yeah, Indy will be tough....

I can't fup098uin believe it. The Packers apparently made it a game, but our local Fox station went out at the beginning of the 4th quarter, and I didnt get to see it.
Yeah they did. I was expecting a Bears blowout. The Packers shouldn't hang their heads about this game. They hung tough.

The Bears have ZERO shot at seeing Indy (or anyone else from the AFC) in the Superbowl.

I agree. It sure would have been cool to see a New England and Chicago Super Bowl rematch 20 years later though.

I'm starting to like Green Bay. I know they are really bad this year, but I just like the team.

Write it down now. The Bears have ZERO shot at seeing Indy (or anyone else from the AFC) in the Superbowl.

Zero shot??? No, that's not true they do have a shot at making it. Not saying they will. But I can tell you one team that actually does have ZERO shot.....

Hey this is all in good fun right? Don't wanna pss off my friends

I'm certainly not putting the cart before the horse, but I think, given Favre returns, they'll be a competitive team next year. (No..I'm not saying they win the division, or anything like that...although given the NFC north, they certainly could), but, with Javon Walker back, the defense with a season underneath their belt (no major defensive free agents except Aaron Kampman, and they've made resigning him #1 priority), a very high draft pick, Samkon Gado back, the probability of being able to resign Ahman Green at a lower rate, lots of cap money to go after some free agents, the future is not completely bleak.

Yeah, but I won't like them anymore then. I am rooting for them since they were this once mighty team struggling to survive. If they go back to kicking everyones butt in the NFC, I'll start disliking them again. :D
