Yeah, he's been brutal. But who's your #2? Fales or Shaw? Or do they wait to see who gets cut?

Probably Fales, they keep protecting him with a roster spot, they must see something they like. I don't see what Hoyer gives them, I don't think there's a significant drop off from Hoyer to whoever they go with.

So as a Packer fan you are saying regardless of Culter staying healthy I should be excited for this years Chicago Bears?

Last time they met, the Bears won in Lambeau with Cutler outplaying Rodgers. Just sayin'.

That's an awesome picture! It doesn't change my point but, still, well played.

They do seem to like Fales, though it was odd not to see him in the game the other night. Shaw played for Loggains in Cleveland so it wouldn't be surprising for the Bears to keep both of them on the regular season roster for a while.

Bears will beat some teams they probably shouldn't beat, and probably lose to some teams they shouldn't this coming year. My expectations are that of mediocrity.

Yup, probably a 7-9 team. Cutler had looked pretty good though. Seems like he's a fan of the Fox regime.

The lovable Bears.  2 championships in my lifetime.  And I'm old.

And then there are the Vikings, whose hall of fame is filled with a few participation ribbons.

[Blackhat]

Fox saw pretty good leaps in wins during the second year in his rebuilds with Carolina and Denver.   I think the Bears will be better than most think and will be improved running the ball.    Looking to get Jeremy Langford in 3-4 round in my ff draft.

[jsglow]

I agree that Fox is a good coach.

The Packers have only won 2 championships in the last 49 seasons. Despite the way their fans act, they haven't exactly been hoarding rings.

Awwww.

Anyway when I saw glow's post, I was going to say the Packers have only won two championships in my lifetime.  They have just both been in the past 20 years.

Indeed, the Packers were gawd awful for two decades in the 70s and 80s. But since 1993 the Packers have gone 235-132 in the regular season, made the playoffs 17 out of 23 seasons, 4 NFC championship games, 3 Superbowls, and won 2. Bottom line, winning SuperBowls is really really really hard, which I guess means we should really respect New England more since they've won 4 in the last 15 years.

Totally true.  Hopefully #3 this year.  Real chance.  Da Bears, not so much.

Sure, the Packers only have 2 in the last 49 years.  In the same time frame, the Bears have 1.

Or you could go back to '63 to get the Bears to 2...but then the Packers' number would jump to 5.

That's the fun part of this game - no matter how far back you want to go, the Packers come out on top.

That's the fun part of this game - no matter how far back you want to go, the Vikings never come out on top.

FTFY

That works too!

However, if you do keep going back, there is no person who has had a greater impact in the history of the Packers than...George Halas.

Wit Kyle Long potentially out for a period of time, will Cutler survive for the first quarter of the first game?

Championships!?!    The Lions have one playoff WIN in my lifetime.    Embrace your championships.

Who did they beat and when?  Oh, and sorry about that Favre/Sharpe thing or that 'held Barry to negative yards' thing.

Beat the Cowboys 38-6 in '91, them lost 41-10 to the Redskins.  Last playoff win before that was in '57.
