Packers vs. Bears Insanity

[ChicosBailBonds]

The Broncos still had to, and did, march 45 yards to get a td after the pick.  It wasn't in the realm of a pick 6.

And blaming Favre for the fumble is comical Chicos, he was blind sided on a blitz that was not picked up.


Denver rushed for damn near 200 yds and 14 rushing first downs.

 It's en vogue to trash Favre but you can't blame the game on one man, especially one who throws 3 tds.

I have a tough time giving the benefit of the doubt to the all-time fumbles leader in NFL history and the all-time interception leader in NFL history.  He was just way to fast and loose with the ball in my opinion. 

I do agree you can't blame it on one man, but those turnovers at the time of those turnovers were HUGE.  It gave them all the mo-jo they needed.

6 degrees of separation for football in the state of Wisconsin?


TCU ruined football spirits for the Wisconsin Badgers.  TCU is in Dallas.

The Packers have historically played terrible in the city of Dallas...that is where this year's Super Bowl will be played.

Yes, Packer fans are god's gift to football fans across Earth. All Bear fans are convicted felons, kick dogs, steal from the church collection basket.

Studies have been done that prove how much greater of a football education the Packer fan has than any other fandom.

If Bears fans boo, it's because they have da fire and da passion!

Which is why the announcer at Soldier Field gave instructions to the 4th Phase...that was cute.

"Make sure you get really loud when the Bears are on Defense only"

EDIT:  The fans around us were a lot of fun.  Some threatened my girlfriend and called her the c-bomb, but she said, "I'm kind of acting like one"

I just avoided all the other meatheads that kept running their mouth on the way out of the stadium by doing my Title Belt celebration and remaining quiet.

We can all agree though, Bears/Packers fans >>>>>>>> Vikings fans

Amen, that "4th Phase" marketing fan campaign is about as lame as it gets. Couldn't agree with you more. Their marketing dept markets the hell out of it too, very annoying.

Also agree x infinity, if yesterday's game was Bears/Vikings (or Packers/Vikings), it would have been off the charts fighting/name calling, etc. That is one thing Bears/Packer fans can unite against.

wait, there are Vikings fans?

[IAmMarquette]

packers fans are white trash hahah that's funny

i have seen both fans in action a lot, and packer fans are by far the more educated football fan than bears fans.

hence why they boo their own team at home.

packers fans never boo their team.

enjoy the couch cutler and urlacher!

This ought to be good.
 
And I'm a Packer fan.

The Packers were up 7-0 and heavily favored.  They let the Broncos go down and score and tie the game.  Two plays later, Favre was intercepted.  The Broncos took the lead 14-7.  Packers get the ball back and 3 plays later, Favre fumbles.  Now it's 17-7 and Big Mo is on the Broncos side big time.  They believe they can win this game after nearly everyone saying they had no chance. 

The Broncos were better. I won't deny the turnovers were important, they always are, but who cares what nearly everyone said? Nearly everyone was wrong, and the Broncos went and proved it again the following season.

[Blackhat]

This threads been good times but I think there's just one last thing that has to be said and then this thread can be shut down:


DA BEARS STILL SUCK!!!






See ya next year suckas.

[Hards Alumni]

Don't get me wrong, Packer fans are very knowledgable and among the best fans in the NFL, I wouldn't argue that for a second. They travel well, and I've always said on this site that at Bears games, there isn't a better fan (of opposing teams) than Packer fans.

part of this probably has to do with the 234590o873249805t6720 Packer programs that are on in the Green Bay area every week... glad that I don't have to live around them down here.

I cheered for the Bears when they were in the Super Bowl, and I can tell you I would openly root against the Vikings should they ever make it to the Super Bowl.

BTW, how many false start penalties did Julius Peppers force? I remember Donald Lee flinching a little on one play, but I don't recall any others.

  He more than gave that back with the helmet to helmet penalty he incurred.

[jesmu84]

 He more than gave that back with the helmet to helmet penalty he incurred.

I actually am of the belief that that was on purpose to try and rattle Rodgers or possibly try and knock him out of the game.  When watching the replay, it's obvious Peppers could have gone straight for the mid-section, even helmet first if he wanted.

ADD:

Yes, I'm a Bears fan. but just so everyone's clear, I'm certainly not condoning that type of hit, regardless of intention.

He forced one false start, and one holding penalty on Clifton. The holding penalty by Wells wasn't against Peppers. As noted, he also nearly decapitated Rodgers.

Unfortunately, is anyone surprised by this type of behavior from Chicago fans?

You would NEVER see that at Lambeau, NEVER

Was this supposed to be in teal? If not, I highly doubt you have ever been to a game at Lambeau.

That article doesn't really tell the whole story. This car dealership sponsors events with the Bears and has worked closely with the Bears in the past. If he refused to removed his Pepsi hat while working at McDonald's (who carries Coke products), he'd likely be let go as well. Yes, it was probably an overreaction from the boss but clearly this guy wasn't a very good salesman if they're willing to let him go over a dress code violation. In fact, it was probably the best thing for him because he'll be able to get a new job from a company looking for a PR boost and he'll get some cash from media outlets looking to spin this story into something that it really isn't.

Related story: I have a friend who works for Associated Bank and was told that he couldn't have his Buffalo Bills mug at work because AB sponsors the Packers. I think he should have hid that mug for other reasons but that's beside the point.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Why didn't they just ask the guy to remove the tie?

[MerrittsMustache]

They did...twice.
