3-0 vs 3rd stringers is a lot better than 0-1.

BTW – We won a game without Cutler this year for the record.

Lambeau would be logical

1. Calling the brand new TCF stadium crap is just retarded. It’s nicer than most current NFL stadiums.

2. The “Who dat” term originated from the mating call of the Cajun Owl, meaning all Saints fans are actually just attempting to molest owls. Sick.

Also, the Saints never beat the Vikings last year, the Vikings did. Hence forth, no superbowl earned, only given.

ESPN pays the NFL $1.1 BILLION/year for broadcast rights – that gets them just a little “pull”, don’t you think?

Atlanta is a safe, indoor, neutral site (just as Ford Field was last week) for the Vikes to “host” a game. Makes sense – now all the Vikings need to do is sign a QB to start… I hear Jeff George is ready to go:)

Playing the game at Lambeau is a brilliant idea, but I’d like to think that the NFL muckety-mucks already considered whether the field at U of M would be worthy or play or not.

aliowlsfalcons – perfect response to the dolt from N.O. Funny (scary?) the level of idiocy in some of these posts.

These are not the Bears of lore. Martz’s system relies on speed and quick cuts…the Bears are a dangerous team on a good field. A sloppy field slows them down and takes away their advantage.

Back in the day games were regularly played on frozen surfaces. Players just need to suck it up. It is one game. Plus the field will be softened somewhat with heating chemicals. Heck the condition at the end of the day might be better than Soldier field this time of year.

Bears complaining about field conditions is comical.

==============================

Yup, Devin McCourty’s ribs can attest to that.

You people need to chill out. If the Bears are complaining about the conditions, they must be beyond awful.

OK… Picture this!!!

Bears vs. Vikings @ lambeau Field. Favre comes out on the field in pregame in purple. The home crowd cheers for him and his Viking teamates as it they where the Green Bay Vikings. Knowing that should the Vikings pull the upset this weekend that it helps the Packers in the hunt for the Div. Because you all know that the Packers have no chance in hell this weekend.

Idiot Viking fans. Check out the same concerns for player safety first expressed by the Vikings themselves– in particular the concerns noted by Ben Leber and Visanthe Shiancoe about playing on a frozen surface. Clearly, the Vikings don’t want to play on what will be 100 yards of concrete anymore than the Bears do.

The Packers don’t play on the same type of surface. Lambeau Field is heated.

If the NFL says the game will be there, the Bears can file all the protests they want. The results of the game will stand.

Can’t say I agree with your logic that Atlanta is even being considered.

The reason why Ford Field was used is because Fox already had their equipment in place (it takes a day or two to do that). That is the only way the game is televised on a one-day turnaround.

That logic fails for Atlanta, because the Saints-Falcons game would be seven days AFTER the supposed relocated game, which gives ESPN no more additional crucial setup and travel time BEFORE.

Also, once the playoffs approach, the networks do not know exactly where they will be next week. They can adapt on a six-day week, if needed, maybe less if the travel distance is short.

Seeing as the MNF equipment is headed north already, a southern diversion is pretty much out of the question.

All of this is moot, because the Bears alleged/supposed/fantasized/headline-driven/speculated/nonexistant protest has no grounds. The game had to be moved to another facility, which does not need to be comparable (i.e., domed) with a week to prepare for it.

Good protest. Nobody wants to see the bears play in crappy gophers stadium. It holds a little over 50000 people. They might as well get rid of the vikings all together. I mean they cant even keep a piece of s### stadium together. This field will not even be playable. its going to be like a skating ring. Both teams will have problems but the Purple guys will especially will since they play in the blowup stadium. Advantage bears but i would still rather see them play in a real stadium.

I think the Vikings would probably rather play indoors as well. With Old Man Winter starting or Joe Webb. I really don’t think either of them will enjoy getting laid out on hard frozen ground by Julius Peppers. So yeah, they may complain, but the Vikes prob agree.

Says the goof who roots for a team that couldn’t beat The Lions 3rd string QB. Take care of your own business before worrying about the Bears. Luck is the opportunity to play against stiffs, good football teams (9-4 Bears) take advantage, crap teams (Packers) don’t.
________________________________

We found out just how “good” the Bears were last weekend.

And how do you think the Bears would fare without Cutler? Based on the fact you barely beat the Lions with him, I would think the results would be similar to last Sunday’s game. Enjoy your one year at the top and being stuck with Lovie and Angelo for the next 3+ years.

By the way, remind me how many backup and 3rd string QBs the Bears have played against this year?
