Bears vs. Green Bay Game Thread (Skins next opponent)

[tr1]

Green Bay plays at home against the reeling Bears.

Though they're division rivals and weird things can happen, I see GB winning handily...

[jasimpson]

Go Bears!!!!!!!!!!!

[No_Pressure]

I have had a feeling since last week that the Bears are going to upset Green Bay, lets see if it happens.

I would rather have the Packers dominate though and come into our game possibly overconfident.

[DeMarco Murray 29]

Let's go Chi-Town.

[tr1]

This is why GB (and other big passing teams) should fear the Skins:


Coming in with the No. 1 passing offense in the NFL, Detroit tallied just 76 net yards passing, and Kitna threw two interceptions.

[DGreenistheBest]

I'd like to see a Bears win, but I think GB takes this by a hefty margin.

[HapHaszard]

I want GB to win so when we beat them next week it will be meaningful.

[SkinsOrlando]

GB wins this week in a squeaker and then gets manhandled next week, thats how I see it

[DeMarco Murray 29]

GB wins this week in a squeaker and then gets manhandled next week, thats how I see it

Thats how I see it.

If GB can win this game, I don't see them beating Washington next week.

If they lose to Chicago however, I see them winning next week.

Kind of odd ... but yeah.

[Zazzaro703]

Madden is in his dressing room rehearsing "Brett Farve this.... Brett Favre that... Well i think Brett Favre... HAHAHA Brett Favre."

[DeMarco Murray 29]

Madden is in his dressing room rehearsing "Brett Farve this.... Brett Favre that... Well i think Brett Favre... HAHAHA Brett Favre."

You mean "Hubbada Hubbada Favre!!! Huh Ba Ba Favre!!!"

[Zazzaro703]

You mean "Hubbada Hubbada Favre!!! Huh Ba Ba Favre!!!"

hahaha yup.... "No No No No he's still the same Brett Favre BELIEVE ME!"

[DeMarco Murray 29]

hahaha yup.... "No No No No he's still the same Brett Favre BELIEVE ME!"

"You know Al, that's Brett Favre's best attribute. He throws the ball to Driver, he picks up more then 10 yards and they get a 1st down! Can you believe that?"

[Rodriggo]

Chris Collinsworth just said the season should end today and there should be a baseball playoff format to determine a Super Bowl between New England vs. Indianapolis in the AFC and Dallas vs. Green Bay in the NFC. Watch him make a comment about the season being a four quarter battle later in the telecast.

That's one more talking head to ignore. Are there any left?

[ArmchairRedskin]

I'd rather the Packers win. I wanna take down an undefeated team.

[Rodriggo]

I'd rather the Packers win. I wanna take down an undefeated team.

Don't agree. Bears are going nowhere. Better they start chipping into the 4-0 lead Green Bay has on us. That way when we win next week we jump them.

[ArmchairRedskin]

Don't agree. Bears are going nowhere. Better they start chipping into the 4-0 lead Green Bay has on us. That way when we win next week we jump them.



Only way that would matter is if we were trying to either battle it out for a wildcard, or home field advantage if we win the division. If we win, then we get the tie breaker. All we'd have to do is keep pace.

[GOSKN5]

yeah I would rather the Packers win... teams get desperate after they loose... especially when they are returning home...

either way I think we can play with the Packers... if the team that showed up today shows up next week.. we can play with just about anyone....

[Rskins91]

Thats how I see it.

If GB can win this game, I don't see them beating Washington next week.

If they lose to Chicago however, I see them winning next week.

Kind of odd ... but yeah.

Eh, not that odd really. If the Packers win, they'll be more likely to overlook the Skins and get over-confident. Other then Farve and a few others, they're a young team. However, a loss will make them more focused and determined.

So, that said, go Pack. Win this week so we can kick your ass next week. :silly:

[praise_gibbs]

I'd rather the Packers win. I wanna take down an undefeated team.


Do agree.

[SkinsOrlando]

I'm just waiting for Favre to throw a touchdown so I can hear "You see that there Al, what Favre does, he's a gun slinger I tell ya, see Al, he throws the ball to his receiver in the end zone, what this does, man Favre has still got it, what this does it give them a touchdown."

[DeMarco Murray 29]

I'm just waiting for Favre to throw a touchdown so I can hear "You see that there Al, what Favre does, he's a gun slinger I tell ya, see Al, he throws the ball to his receiver in the end zone, what this does, man Favre has still got it, what this does it give them a touchdown."

With a touch of


'That right there is 6 points Al!'

[jasimpson]

I'm just waiting for Favre to throw a touchdown so I can hear "You see that there Al, what Favre does, he's a gun slinger I tell ya, see Al, he throws the ball to his receiver in the end zone, what this does, man Favre has still got it, what this does it give them a touchdown."

Sad that he gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to state the obvious.

[ArmchairRedskin]

Only thing more repetitive than Madden talking about Favre is people doing Madden impressions.

[praise_gibbs]

:rotflmao:

[tr1]

Farve-O-Rama begins...

[tr1]

Yes! When will Bret retire? Soon? Please.

[bubba9497]

Lovie Bear?

[NOVA2Tampa]

I'm just waiting for Favre to throw a touchdown so I can hear "You see that there Al, what Favre does, he's a gun slinger I tell ya, see Al, he throws the ball to his receiver in the end zone, what this does, man Favre has still got it, what this does it give them a touchdown."

:laugh:

[SkinsOrlando]

Well atleast this year we haven't had to hear one of Favre's interceptions referred to as "it's just as good as a punt". Although I'm waiting for it.

[NOVA2Tampa]

I'd rather the Packers win. I wanna take down an undefeated team.

Ditto...go Packers!!! :cheers:

[RammsteinSkins]

I have had a feeling since last week that the Bears are going to upset Green Bay, lets see if it happens.

I would rather have the Packers dominate though and come into our game possibly overconfident.

[ArmchairRedskin]

I like Madden because I associate his voice along with Pat Summeral with a lot of my best Redskins memories. I learned football from listening to those two. Madden used to get more in depth with his stuff. I mean he was the one that came out with the telestrator and starting drawing out the replays. He also told a lot of anecdotes from when he was coaching the Raiders. He gave you an insider's perspetive from inside the coaches and players heads. For all that he gets a free pass from me. I don't care how much he rambles on or states the obvious. I believe he's been told to keep it simple anyway, so the game might be easier to understand for the casual fan.

[jasimpson]

Diana Favre could get the 8=D

[tr1]

I'm getting a spray of moisture from my TV when Al talks about Farve...

[jrockster21]

Did Diana Favre just say "get married to an NFL player so that everyone can know about your tits." ?? :laugh:

[Santana_Fan]

Where did the Bears go? lol

[jasimpson]

The Bears D is...........not good.

[DeMarco Murray 29]

Did Diana Favre just say "get married to an NFL player so that everyone can know about your tits." ?? :laugh:

No way :laugh: :laugh: I cant believe I missed that

[ArmchairRedskin]

Bears suck at the tackling.

[tr1]

No...no...the Bears' defense is a mirage?

[jasimpson]

We better not let a 7th round draft pick gash us next week.

[Larry]

I think Favre is 3 away from setting the "most career interceptions thrown" record.

I'm hoping he gets 2 tonight, and that we get to help him set the record next week.

[praise_gibbs]

Did Diana Favre just say "get married to an NFL player so that everyone can know about your tits." ?? :laugh:


Really? I just tuned in.

[SkinsHokieFan]

Wow, Green Bay just ran right down the field

[Santana_Fan]

That drive was quick...wow

[SkinsOrlando]

And the Bears are already down by 7

[ArmchairRedskin]

So... the Pack has a running game after all. I'm glad they decided to roll it out this week.

[DeMarco Murray 29]

And the Bears are already down by 7

Thats all GB needs

[Larry]

Wow, Green Bay just ran right down the field

"Ran" is right. 5 carries, 64 yards.

[Rskins91]

Where did this running game come from? I know the Bears are beat up defensively, but that was just plain bad.

[ejay183]

Hopefully the Packers havent improved their running game and its just the bad tackling of the Bears. If we force Favre to beat us with the passing game, we got a chance. I hope our WRs practice beating the press this week cause Al Harris and Charles Woodson are best at doing so.

[AllAboutSkins08]

the bears defense is sucking as much as our defense was last year.

wait, i don't know why i didn't see this before. we had AA last year, they have AA this year....

MY GOD! AA IS THE REASON WE SUCKED!! HE BROUGHT THAT CURSE ON US!!

thank goodness we got rid of him.

:laugh:

[ejay183]

:laugh:

And upgrading him with Landry doesnt hurt

[Santana_Fan]

"He gets dumped immediately"-Al Michaels :laugh:

[tr1]

I'm anxious for the fans to start chanting, "Rex!" "Rex!"

[SkinsOrlando]

Man the Bears suck

[the burgundy and gold]

wow coming into this year i thought the packers game would be an easy W, now it turns out the bears game might be.

[Fred Jones]

wow coming into this year i thought the packers game would be an easy W, now it turns out the bears game might be.

It does depend on when you play them. I wish we were playing the Bears next week. They are down and struggling. However, if they start getting healthy they could turn things around to some degree.

[SkinsOrlando]

I guess when it comes to AA it wasn't the system, he just sucks

[tr1]

It does depend on when you play them. I wish we were playing the Bears next week. They are down and struggling. However, if they start getting healthy they could turn things around to some degree.

I dunno...if AA keeps playing, we're gonna have a big day...

[NOVA2Tampa]

Wow, Green Bay just ran right down the field

DeShawn Wynn, the former Gator...ya gotta love it! :cheers:

[ArmchairRedskin]

I wish we could have Tommie Harris. Maybe we could swap them Brunell for him.

[Larry]

Dumb challenge. It was a catch.

[ArmchairRedskin]

He didn't catch that.

[Larry]

I'd call it a catch, but I can see the argument.

[Rskins91]

I'd call it a catch, but I can see the argument.

Apparently the refs agree.

Let's see if the Bears can do something with this.

[NOVA2Tampa]

Horse manure...he never had possession...

[Larry]

Still, looking at GB, next week's gonna be tough.

(Although, granted, our D is just a bit better than Da Bears.)

[SkinsHokieFan]

Man, the GB run D is outstanding

We will have our work cut out for us getting CP room next week

[tr1]

I want Rex...I want Rex...

[Larry]

Let's see if the Bears can do something with this.

Apparently not.

[AllAboutSkins08]

3.82 yards per PLAY

simply disgusting

[tr1]

Man, the GB run D is outstanding

We will have our work cut out for us getting CP room next week

It's an illusion. The Bears run game sucks.

[Larry]

How did the Bears manage to beat somebody? Did it happen before they all got injured?

[buenosdiaz]

archuleta with the tackle lol

[jasimpson]

Archuleta is such a bum, just whiffed on that tackle on Driver.

[Killerbo]

ok, honest I am worried about those slants...freaking ridiculous

[NOVA2Tampa]

Favre to Driver...Favre to Driver...Favre to Driver...

[TheDoyler23]

Dear Adam,

You suck!

~The NFL

[jasimpson]

It's deja vu all over again.

[Larry]

Bears can't tackle, either.

(But they can sure fall on fumbles.)

[SkinsHokieFan]

Wow, Jones is doing a good job of keeping DA Bears in the DA game

[NOVA2Tampa]

AA with the fumble recovery...one more 3 and out coming up for the Bears... :laugh:

[jasimpson]

Favre to Driver...Favre to Driver...Favre to Driver...

I think I'm picking up a pattern, maybe we should gameplan for this, what do you think?

[ejay183]

Those slants are killer, Farve is really guiding them right in there. We got to press their WRs and dont give the inside move.

[SkinsHokieFan]

ok, honest I am worried about those slants...freaking ridiculous

Slants are scary because you can get some double move deep passes off of them

You just to play disciplined and tight against them, and not jump a route, or else Favre will throw easy TD passes

[tr1]

How did the Bears manage to beat somebody? Did it happen before they all got injured?

They beat KC...

[Larry]

I think I'm picking up a pattern, maybe we should gameplan for this, what do you think?

Unfortunately, Driver has 3 catches for 43, and Jones has 3 for 42.

[buenosdiaz]

i bet the bears are missing thomas jones

[the burgundy and gold]

dear god that was an awful throw.

[NOVA2Tampa]

I think I'm picking up a pattern, maybe we should gameplan for this, what do you think?

ST on Driver??? :D

[tr1]

Rex is really much better than Griese...the Bears WRs really are the suckiest, though.

[Larry]

Don't think he made it. (Good effort, though.)

[AllAboutSkins08]

I think I'm picking up a pattern, maybe we should gameplan for this, what do you think?

to the untrained eye it would seem like a good idea. but that's what GB wants us to do. what we do is the opposite. we leave driver open all game. they'll never see it coming.

;)

[Larry]

Rex is really much better than Griese...the Bears WRs really are the suckiest, though.

Remembering the Dan Patrick show, when McNabb pulled his "white QBs don't get criticized after a bad game" comment.

Patrick's comment was "Tell that to Rex Grossman."

[Killerbo]

oh, cute girls...

[tr1]

Whoa! They need to prevent the long breaks where Madden can get going on GB...he's gonna start to cry.

[DeMarco Murray 29]

Remembering the Dan Patrick show, when McNabb pulled his "white QBs don't get criticized after a bad game" comment.

Patrick's comment was "Tell that to Rex Grossman."

Classic.

[Larry]

Bears D stopped GB for a play!

[ArmchairRedskin]

1080i motion blur blows. I wish they'd broadcast 720p or move on to 1080p already

[NOVA2Tampa]

1080i motion blur blows. I wish they'd broadcast 720p or move on to 1080p already

That's not motion blur you're seeing...those are compression artifacts.

[DeMarco Murray 29]

1080i motion blur blows. I wish they'd broadcast 720p or move on to 1080p already

That they need to do.

[JerseyGator]

Grossman is 3-0 at Lambeau. Bears gained 20 whole yards in first quarter and not one first down. Yep, it's all Grossman's fault. Look at all that talent around Griese.

[SkinsOrlando]

Madden used to tell his punters to kick it as high as you can and as far as you can, what else could you tell a punter??? ARGH!!!!

[Larry]

1080i motion blur blows. I wish they'd broadcast 720p or move on to 1080p already

My heart bleeds.

[Larry]

First Down Bears! First Down Bears!

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

So what's the word on Benson? Is he a bust?

[Larry]

True or False:

The only reason this game isn't 21-0 is two fumbles.

[DeMarco Murray 29]

True or False:

The only reason this game isn't 21-0 is two fumbles.

true

[Santana_Fan]

Sorry, but all FB's cant be Sellers lol

[Larry]

Bears moving the ball.

[Santana_Fan]

So what's the word on Benson? Is he a bust?


Benson is horrible

[DeMarco Murray 29]

Benson is horrible

the whole team is horrible

[Skinned]

3rd and 6 and they run the ball? What kind of crappy playcalling is that?

[ArmchairRedskin]

That's not motion blur you're seeing...those are compression artifacts.




Whatever nerd! :laugh:


I hate that artifacting, then.

[NOVA2Tampa]

Bears get yet another chance with that weird penalty...

[DeMarco Murray 29]

Woo hoo TD Bears

[Larry]

Bears took a FG off the scoreboard? Gutsy move. (Especially considering their O.)

[jasimpson]

We got a game folks!!

[NOVA2Tampa]

Whatever nerd! :laugh:


I hate that artifacting, then.

That's geek, not nerd, thank you... :D

[Larry]

Props to the coach for taking points off the board. Could give his team some "mo", there.

[ArmchairRedskin]

That's geek, not nerd, thank you... :D



:laugh:

[tr1]

Refs gave the Bears a gift with that penalty...

[sens11]

Refs gave the Bears a gift with that penalty...

No doubt. I don't think "99" was lined up over center at all!

[DCranon21]

I just tuned in, I see the Bears just scored a TD. What's going on?

[DeMarco Murray 29]

I just tuned in, I see the Bears just scored a TD. What's going on?

Pack should be up 21-0. But two fumbles from Jones kept Chicago in the game.

[Larry]

I just tuned in, I see the Bears just scored a TD. What's going on?

A miracle.

[Larry]

Before that (perfectly decent) Bears drive, they were showing that total offense was 188 to 12.

[Larry]

Pack rushing: 12 carries for 99 yds.
Favre 11/12 for 129.

But, two Pack fumbles.

[kevin11]

Well, Green Bay looks alot like the redskins. Mistake prone, good defense.

[ArmchairRedskin]

Briggs can tackle at least.

[DeMarco Murray 29]

TD Jennings

[jasimpson]

Bears = awful

[ejay183]

That pass was scary perfect

[ArmchairRedskin]

Man that was pretty.

[SkinsOrlando]

Did they just compare Favre to Romo? Gimme a break


Nice pass by Favre

[Santana_Fan]

What the **** is going on with the Bears?!? This isn't even funny anymore.

[kevin11]

wow, what a great pass. ROMO IS NOT FARVE. STFU madden and Michaels. God damn, do the cowboys and packers play? Is it on NBC @ 8?

[NOVA2Tampa]

Wow...that pass was a thing of beauty... :cool:

[Larry]

Well, Green Bay looks alot like the redskins. Mistake prone, good defense.

Mostly, the impression I'm getting is "Bears stink".

(And, yeah, GB's a real team.)

[kevin11]

Mostly, the impression I'm getting is "Bears stink".

(And, yeah, GB's a real team.)yea, i agree. But, they are a young team. we can beat them.

[Larry]

Boy, that GB CB just mugged that receiver.

Bears looking better. Maybe this will be a game.

[Larry]

Fight! Fight!

[Larry]

No fooling, Madden. The NFC North has rivalries. No fooling.

[kevin11]

No fooling, Madden. The NFC North has rivalries. No fooling.another one of Maddens brillant quotes.

"In order to win, you need to score more points then the other"

You need to perform is special teams, defense, and offense to win games.


:laugh:

[Larry]

I'd consider the NFC North's rivalries to be right up there with the NFC East. Pretty much any game within the division is a rivalry.

Those teams just have too much history with each other.

[kevin11]

I'd consider the NFC North's rivalries to be right up there with the NFC East. Pretty much any game within the division is a rivalry.

Those teams just have too much history with each other.long rivalries are better then the damn expansion ones.

[Larry]

Did Favre drop that ball?

[Santana_Fan]

Did Favre drop that ball?

If he did, I'd understand why they compared him to Romo earlier :). All jokes aside though, Romo is doing good.

[Santana_Fan]

Beautiful pass

[buenosdiaz]

nice pass i must admit

[kevin11]

Madden is officialy on Farve and romo's ****. God damn! Thats romo right there.

What a pass to the guy over the middle.

[AllAboutSkins08]

are they really comparing favre to romo still??

[TheDoyler23]

Now Madden is praising Favre describing his Romo-like escapeability.

Shoot me.

[TheDoyler23]

We want Rex!

We want Rex!

[DWinzit]

What the F*** is all this Tony Romo BS Madden:doh: :doh: :doh:

[CM916]

If you haven't figured it out yet, the Bears suck, it's that old SB loser curse. Who else have the Packers played? This is still a pretty close game so I wouldn't call it yet althought I picked GB. (and I was 11-0 last time I checked today, missed one or two 4PM games but Ill get back to you) However, I firmly beleive we can beat these guys. 341 yards and only 17 points? The only defensive stat that matters in the end is points allowed.

[Larry]

are they really comparing favre to romo still??

Yep. "That play, that's an Old Tony Romo play. See, Romo would do that, and no matter what the defense does, Romo can get it in there."

:puke:

[DWinzit]

Does this mean Madden is more stary eyed for Romo than even Favre?:jerk:

[CM916]

Does this mean Madden is more stary eyed for Romo than even Favre?:jerk:

If that's really the case and they aren't just paying him to love Romo... we may need to plot an assassination. Ive only had 5 beers today I should add...

[LD0506]

So this is Madden's fantasy, he gets to ramble on about Favre AND Romo while some weird ménage scene plays in his head <shudder>

[ejay183]

Yep. "That play, that's an Old Tony Romo play. See, Romo would do that, and no matter what the defense does, Romo can get it in there."

:puke:

Didnt Favre do that for years before Romo even entered the league? Didnt Romo even say Farve is his idol?

[Larry]

Sounds like it. Apparently, Favre has been learning from the greatness of Romo.

'Night folks. I'm gettin sick.

[Larry]

Why am I willing to bet they don't mention the Skins game at halftime?

[DixieFlatline]

Why am I willing to bet they don't mention the Skins game at halftime?

Well, they didn't show them in the highlights from the league, so I'm guessing you'd win the bet.

[CM916]

Why am I willing to bet they don't mention the Skins game at halftime?

They showed both Campbell TDs and Stonehands Rogers TD that froze Hell in the pregame show. I'm happy with that considering that all they showed back in week 1 was our final field goal.

Dammit, I just heard "and Tony Romo too!" I don't give a **** what they were talking about, Im just tired of hearing about him while everyone I talk to has no clue who our QB is...:rolleyes:

[the burgundy and gold]

well that guy from the Texans seems like a class act.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

So this is Madden's fantasy, he gets to ramble on about Favre AND Romo while some weird ménage scene plays in his head <shudder>
LOL.

It's so funny because it's probably true.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

well that guy from the Texans seems like a class act.
Yeah what a tool he is. At least he got called out for it though. I didn't even know that happened.

[ejay183]

Dammit, I just heard "and Tony Romo too!" I don't give a **** what they were talking about, Im just tired of hearing about him while everyone I talk to has no clue who our QB is...:rolleyes:


Pure media love. A few years ago it was Brady, that no matter what was being talked about, Brady had to be mentioned. Now Romo is getting his turn in the circle jerk by the media.

[Santana_Fan]

Pure media love. A few years ago it was Brady, that no matter what was being talked about, Brady had to be mentioned. Now Romo is getting his turn in the circle jerk by the media.

But of course my boy Brady had to be mentioned...he's only the best. :silly:

[Santana_Fan]

I'd hate to see this place if any of our QB's played as bad as Griese or Grossman.

[praise_gibbs]

It would probably be shut down like the Lions board. LOL

It would probably be shut down like the Lions board. LOL


That's exactly what I was saying in my head :laugh:

[buenosdiaz]

Greg Jennings out?

[Mooka]

After the interception, a TERRIBLE play from Favre, TERRIBLE...

and Madden of course, "Brett Favre will do those things. These things happen. Now your defense has to step it up."

:laugh:

[NOVA2Tampa]

How bout that?

[TheDoyler23]

Sweet celebration by Harris after he held Muhhamad's arm down the whole way.

And a fumble by the Pack on the punt ret!

[Reic]

Madden used Tony Romo like 4 times in the same paragraph when talking about Brett Farve, made me sick, my roomates were laughing.

[jasimpson]

Why does Benson run so soft?

[NOVA2Tampa]

Damn...the Packers are doing everything possible to lose this game... :laugh:

Does NBC impose a pre-game drink limit on Madden?

[DeMarco Murray 29]

Bears finally woke up from hybernation

[ST+LL=Area51]

I really want the Packers to win this game in a high emotional game, maybe a LET DOWN game is in store...

[the burgundy and gold]

If the Bears win this game the NFC north feel very different then it did to start today.

[jeronimobrat]

I have a feeling that The Bears are going to pull an upset tonight.

Be sure that the Skins will be looking at tapes of this game.

[Santana_Fan]

Bears finally woke up from hybernation


And then realized they woke up too early

[Skins24]

Man, the Packers are looking like how we played the second half of the Giants game....
Hopefully they'll play like this for 4 quarters next week :)

[NOVA2Tampa]

Down goes Frazier...I mean, Griese... :laugh:

[He Hate Me]

This is looking like it will be a nail biter... I can't believe it's this close of a game.

[SkinsHokieFan]

The old Tony Romo again

[AllAboutSkins08]

i'm so glad favre has players like tony romo to look up to

:jerk:

[Idaho fan]

I am happying this game is going down to the wire... I am hoping for overtime. Fun to watch and it might even help us out for next week. You always hear that a team is more mentally and physically worn down after a close divisional night game. Probably nothing to it but can't hut.

[Sweet Sassy Molassy]

God Madden is choking on Romo's chode! It getting ridiculous when John Madden is comparing Brett Farve to Tony Romo.

[MonkFan8]

Except that doesn't cost them a TO, what is he talking about....

[praise_gibbs]

Except that doesn't cost them a TO, what is he talking about....

That could be true... and it certainly doesnt hurt to hope... but what is "happying"? ;)

[HailSkins81]

Except that doesn't cost them a TO, what is he talking about....

That was my question, although they still got a first down, the actual challenge was successful, they moved the ball back.

[MonkFan8]

That was my question, although they still got a first down, the actual challenge was successful, they moved the ball back.Right, or atleast that's how I viewed it. If GB lost a TO there they got screwed.

[Idaho fan]

That could be true... and it certainly doesnt hurt to hope... but what is "happying"? ;)

:laugh:

"happying" is what happens when you try to write "hoping" and "happy"
at the same time... :laugh:

I agree, Al Michael was just talking about it. Too bad we can't see the actual scoreboard.

[ejay183]

Yeah they won the challenge, they shouldnt lose their timeout.

[He Hate Me]

It's all on Romo.... er... Favre's shoulders now

[HailSkins81]

Yeah they won the challenge, they shouldnt lose their timeout.

And, I don't think the Ref even said they lost the timeout. As I remember, if the time out is lost they have to say it.

That could cost the Packers.

[Idaho fan]

So can Favre tie it up? Come on! Lets get this into OT!

[Santana_Fan]

go into overtime

[Skins24]

go into overtime
yep...

[Santana_Fan]

That was a nice catch

[natsfan762]

horrible time management by Favre.. he just killed any chance the Pack had of coming back

[rebornempowered]

What the heck is Favre doing?

[Santana_Fan]

horrible time management by Favre..


Right

[rebornempowered]

Do they have no out patterns in their playbook?

[He Hate Me]

You guys will be dealing with a Packers team with something to prove next week

[praise_gibbs]

Doesn't tie go to the WR?!

[Santana_Fan]

Wow that game was crazy!

[Idaho fan]

Looks like its over...
3-1 Skins VS 4-1 Packers

This will be a tough loss for them I would think. Early on it looked like the Packers were dominating.

[praise_gibbs]

Pack got ****ed twice in the fourth. :doh:


Refs **** up another game.

[rebornempowered]

You are operating under the assumption that they are able to prove it.

[natsfan762]

The Pack looked tough early but then they proved that they are mediocre. We should have a good chance of beating them. Their defense is terrible and Favre is mistake prone.

I hate those games. Oh well, we better bring our A-game

Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.......how did the Pack get shafted?

Might be the most over used, not true cliche in sports

"They'll be angry..."

Whatever, we have to go out and play and do our jobs and let the rest take care of itself

[JerseyGator]

Christmas comes early in Chicago. The Pack gave that game away. Nearly 100 yards in penalties and five turnovers. Wow. Ugly.

[Rskins91]

I don't know if this will make it easier or harder on us next week...

My gut tells me harder, since the Pack will be desperate not to lose two straight at home. :(

That last play.. the ball was up for grabs. Driver (i think it was) had his hands on the ball just the same as the Bears defender did. I always thought that a tie in the catch goes to the WR?


Also, Pack lost a TO on a challenge that they won.

[MidwayMonster31]

Huge win for us. The defense forced enough mistakes and Griese was good enough, but I still want a different quarterback for next year because I don't want "don't lose" I want "win".

[SkinsOrlando]

The Packers beat the Eagles(thanks to Philly's horrid ST), beat the Giants(before there Defense started playing), beat San Diego(coached by Norv) and beat Minnesota(no offense at all) and now lost to a not so good bears team. They've been more hype than sustance so far this year. We have a good shot next week.

Watch that play again. The Bears DB clearly comes down with the ball.

Meh, we went through this against the Eagles earlier this year....

[He Hate Me]

You are operating under the assumption that they are able to prove it.

nah... It will be a great game, and I honestly thing your D will give them fits. This will determine if the Packera are a great team though. Great teams make adjustments and prove themselves after a loss such as this.

I'll be very interested in that game.

[praise_gibbs]

I watched it real time and then the replay that they showed. By the time the bears defender had any kind of possession of the ball.. driver had both hands on it. He even had sole possession of it after the pile was broken up.

[hail2skins]

Yeah, the last play.....Bears guy definitely had it.

I'm still trying to figure out why GB would lose a timeout with the challenge when they moved the ball back.....Michaels was trying to figure it out, in between Madden talking about Brett Favre.

I'm surprised Madden didn't insist in putting Favre on the horse trailer.

The Bears defender touched the ball first but, I am not so sure that he had possession of it. We are gonna have to agree to disagree on this unless I can find a vid clip to that play to prove myself wrong.

I wasn't trying to disrespect... I've just seen it happen a lot of times. The skins and pack match up well. It will just be a matter of who is more hungry for a win.

[Rskins91]

Meh, we went through this against the Eagles earlier this year....

True. The Skins have done it before this year and in the past, but I'm just saying it's tough to go into another teams house and beat them, especially after they just lost at home.

That said, I have faith the Skins beat the Pack. I don't think we'll win by the margin we did against Detroit, but I think we have a good shot at winning if we execute like we did today.

[hail2skins]

I like our chances at Lambeau, but lets hope the players aren't "smelling themselves" after today's blowout. In 2005 after we blew out the Niners we went up to NY and got scorched. Last year after the thrilling OT win over the Jags we again went up to NY and looked like crap. I do think the '07 Skins will keep their focus.

[Warhead36]

Man I was really hoping we'd catch the Packers coming off an emotional big win at home against a division rival. You know Favre will be itching to get back out there and prove he's not reverting back to his turnover prone self of the past couple of years.

Lets hope he continues the trend though. :)

As long as Moss plays next week, Portis is ok, establish the run and Campbell plays as well as he did today, you'll be fine.
