“How does it feel to have to be Packer fans for one week, Bears fans? Have fun with that.”

One week, hell…I’ll be a Packer fan when the game starts until it ends…To quote Val Kilmer in ‘Tombstone’…”My hypocrisy only goes so far.”

Bears beat Az about as big as Pack beating Tn

Talk about a rock and a hard place. If the Bears win and the Packers do likewise it will be like watching Groundhog Day for 24 hours straight. First a severe 1st round shellacking by any of several NFC opponents followed by Lovie getting another contract extension for 2 years, no good o-line draft picks, Hester and Forte losing a step or 2, and Urlacher applying for NFL social security. Took me 2 minutes to write that script. What did I miss?

The sad part in all this is, if the Bears somehow make the playoffs, this is a lose lose situation. This would mean the Bears would go to San Fran, they will take a severe beatdown worse than the first meeting…. and two, Bear ownership will extend Lovie’s contract and we will have to watch the same pathetic rerun of this season next year.

It’s tough to be a Bear fan, this team, under Lovie, kind of like reliving the Wannstadt years….pardon me while I go hurl.

The Bears O-Line looked better today. Let’s hope Forte is ready to get in it next week.

During the Bears 1-5 stretch were just victims of a BRUTAL SCHEDULE. They’re really a good team. The 3 teams they most recently lost to were arguably the 3 most impressive teams this week. I would let both Cutler and Lovie finish the last year of their contracts and see how they perform. Neither should be fired, but certainly neither should get extensions.

Dear Bears’ D: I don’t know what you did. I don’t know who said what… but, that was probably your best game without Url. Keep it up, please.

I have a hard time rooting for the Pack. Instead, I’m going to hope that the dome’s roof collapses again. Hopefully no one gets hurt, but still manages to ruin the Vikings.

The Bears shouldnt be in this position. where they need help to get in the playoffs. But they are there because of Lovie. I STILL want him gone and please take the tampa two.. and Urlacher with you.

Random thoughts:

1.) Awful play-calling to start the game, trying to throw against the #1 pass defense in the league, it’s no wonder Cutler started out 1-11…Once they (finally) established the run, that enabled the passing game to improve, Jay ended up completing 11 of his last 15, including – gasp! – a couple to Kellen Davis.

2.) I like and respect GB more than either MN or Detroit, so rooting for the Pack next week will not be a problem.

3.) Wasn’t special teams supposed to be a Bears strength?

4.) Thank you, Baltimore.

Ugh. I was hoping they’d lose out, and it would force them to make major changes. Tice needs to go, so does Lovie. This team is done. Who cares if they make the playoffs, and then get smoked in the first round. Drop in the draft, and they’ll retain Lovie. Enough with this mediocrity.

It’s going to be a helluva good game in the Metrodome next week. Props to the Vikes. Showing way more heart than the Bears or Lions.

Bears still looked horrible on offense..what a disaster…after 4 years the oline is still horrible…Forte is now fragile since he got the big contract…from a team looking like it might have a chance to one that has such an incompetent offense..hopefully coaching changes are made its clear that Lovie can’t properly manage the offensive side of things…his OC coaching choices are horrible!

The Vikings are playing the best in the division and are 6-1 at home. It would not surprise me in the least if they defeat the Packers at home next week. The Packers are still playing for a bye so they will not be resting starters.

it was a clear case of the bears defense dominating. though the offense managed to score 2 touchdowns in the game for the first time in what seems like forever it still sucks. until they give Cutler a line to protect him and coach who knows how to call plays they will always suck in that side of the ball. again it is hard to look impressive playing in that offense. the bears have taken one of the bright young qb’s in the league in Cutler and made him a average qb. no protection and only 1 receiver to throw to and any qb in that system would look bad.

We can’t go to and win a Super Bowl like this…We just can’t. We should have won this game. There is no celebration. We need to get better.

How does it feel to have to be Packer fans for one week, Bears fans? Have fun with that.
