Somebody should do. Ditka got run over by a John Deer walking home from Lambeau Christmas eve.

[go pak go]

Our run the table starts now.

[BF004]

Sounds like Biscky starting.

Pettine has had Nagy’s number in pretty much every game they’ve played.



I’m expecting a team rally around MVS, expect this to be a crisp, complete game.

Despite a sorry finish last week, I am expecting them to come out high energy and cleaner in home playoff game against our biggest division competition.


Packers all the way. 34-13. This will be our best game this year.

As we all know these Bear-Packer games can take strange twists and turns sometimes. I really don't think MLF needs to draw up any trick plays for Sunday night's game. Comments?

Well he doesn't have to draw them up, he just needs to pull up the page in the computer. I wouldn't mind seeing a trick or two. It is always good to waste time for defenses down the line making them practice defending the oddball. And if they work it is always nice tweaking duh bares nose.

[Backthepack4ever]

The bears really are not a good team. The offense is on par with the Jets. Kenny clark should destroy their interior. Stop thw run and force a few pics

Their d is still good but can be had.

Statement game bc its a div opponent that is trying to get back in the playoff mix. Bury them deep. 35-12

[Cdragon]

Trub can run for 1st downs, that's about all I'm worried about with their O.

[Drj820]

Yeah good point dragon. The bears benched a healthy bisquick. It’s not like they are going to give him a big contract. If im nagy I literally pretend the guy is Tebow and run him like every other play. Tell him to take off everytime anything in available. If he gets hurt, oh well. But running him in the ground as he scampers is their best chance. Plus nagy tried to make him into a pocket guy, he’s just not that. He can actually throw decently while on the move. I would plan to keep him on the move all night.

[Cdragon]

He can be their next Bobby Douglass.

If we don't drop 40 on them, I will be disappointed. Rather it be 50. Time to crush someone. Who better?

My bigger thing is I want to hold em under 11.

Yeah their d is still good. Not sure itl be the week to drop 40. Love the holding them to under 11 goal.

Something interesting: as bad at their O is, and it’s bad...they have only lost one game by more than one possession all season...that was against the Rams. Their d keeps them in ugly games.

[lupedafiasco]

If Turd Biscuit starts it’s gonna be a lot to a little.

If Foles starts it’s gonna be a lot to a little.

These dudes can’t score. As long as the offense doesn’t turn the ball over like last week we dominate this game easily.

[German_Panzer]

Another game where Pettine can try new things/schemes. I hope he does and doesn't act like a shy deer in headlights. He needs games to adjust our defense. I think we should be better than the Bears and win. If we don't it can become very ugly very quickly.

[Pugger]

I don't care what the final score is as long as we win. The NFL doesn't care about style points.
