I'm not liking the 17 game season either.go pak go wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022 18:37I agree. I hate expanding playoff systems. Make it hard to make the playoffs. It should be an accomplishment to make the playoffs. Always thought that was something the NFL set itself apart from other leagues when it was 6 of 16 make it.
I also hate it that only 1 team gets a bye. Just thought the old system was perfect.

The old NFL formula was perfect. 16 game season. 4 game preseason. 6 team playoff.RingoCStarrQB wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022 20:06I'm not liking the 17 game season either.go pak go wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022 18:37I agree.

It was awesome.
Don’t look now but I think the Packers actually outplayed an opponent on ST today…
On that note, I hope Keisean Nixon runs every kickoff he gets his hands on this year back no matter how deep it is. Dude is just a natural at it. Plus he’s fun to watch and I don’t fear him boning it up. Nothing to lose, screw it.

Yeah. I'm definitely a fan of bringing him back next year. He is the type of guy you love having on your football team. Very deceptively strong at kick returning too.APB wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022 21:21Don’t look now but I think the Packers actually outplayed an opponent on ST today…

Each team he touches the ball I think "idiot" and then he blows past the 30 yardline.

For the first time in 101 years, the Chicago Bears are not the winningest franchise in the NFL.

Yes, the Rams have to be the worst team defending a Super Bowl in a long long time. They look terrible.LombardiTime wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022 19:08I agree a win is always a win and a win over the Bears is even better.Scott4Pack wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022 18:55A win is always a win.

That said, I’m wondering if Jaire is wanting to pad his stats. Getting beat twice by “lesser than” WRs was pitiful for the guy who is supposed to be elite. He needs to knock that crap off. Even with his INT…
Time to celebrate this win. Next one will be tougher.
But, a December home game against the 3-9 Rams, with the Pack coming off a bye, will be more difficult than today's contest?
Why?
The Rams have lost 6 straight, have put Stafford, Kupp, and Alan Robinson on IR, are decimated along the offensive line, and Aaron Donald likely will remain out of action with his high ankle sprain.
As presently constructed, the Rams should be the least daunting opponent the Pack faces or has faced all season and that includes today's toothless Bears.
This may sound crazy, but I could see the 5-8 Packers being close to double digit favorites over the Rams.
Perhaps our new ST coach is finally turning that unit around?APB wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022 21:21Don’t look now but I think the Packers actually outplayed an opponent on ST today…

Not really sure if the 1919 or 1920 games count for the Pack. Packers joined the NFL in 1921. Bears joined in 1920.Pckfn23 wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022 23:34https://www.yahoo.com/sports/the-bears- ... 56312.html

I already consider it to be turned around. Maybe not to "best-in-league" -level, but hella better than last season. Plus Ford and Nixon who were originally intended to be ST specialists have ended up being cheap positive additions to the D.Pugger wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022 23:47Perhaps our new ST coach is finally turning that unit around?APB wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022 21:21Don’t look now but I think the Packers actually outplayed an opponent on ST today…

It's almost like when the front office and HC takes the STs seriously, it has an effect...
It's crazy that last year's best and most consistent players have flipped to be liabilities this year.salmar80 wrote: ↑05 Dec 2022 06:46I already consider it to be turned around.

And players who either were a liability, below average for themselves, or not on the team are this year's best players.
Except Rashan Gary. He has been awesome both years.

…and he probably won’t fumble either. (Maybe that’s what you meant too.)APB wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022 21:21Don’t look now but I think the Packers actually outplayed an opponent on ST today…

I think Bisaccia is setting a tone by having him run it out every time. I like it!

I know this is not typical here. But I want to give kudos to Fields. I do think he has more potential than any Bears QB in a LONG time. I think he’ll do better than Turd biscuit and many others. If he stays patient and learns how to read defenses well… He’s already showing some real progression and growth.
I’m not saying da Bears would reign in the division. But the QB won’t be their weak spot. He might actually be a strength if he keeps improving. Some say that he already is.

And hey, what, no injuries against da Bears? Probably depends on what happened with Jones. But everybody is pretty dinged up by this time of year anyhow.

DeVonte Wyatt is a player I thought too was excellent yesterday. Noticed him on a few run stops.
Very, very encouraged to hear Elgton Jenkins returning to form.

Reading about Tom is just like reading about Bak his rookie year.
