Week 17: Bears vs. Green Bay - Sunday Dec 31, 7 pm CST

i'm not worried about their performance thus far at all...it's obvious to me that they're not running any of their normal defensive sets.

[Soul]

Not that I don't know this is a "meaningless" game, but everyone should realize that this is the other side of the coin in the "play 'em or rest 'em" debate.

 

A good reason for resting starters in a game like this is because it's hard to be quite as motivated, it only takes a little bit less to start getting beat, and you don't want the starters to go into the playoffs doubting themselves.

 

But, I still agree with starting them. Lovie tried resting them last year and it didn't work, so time to try the other way.

Catch that ball Urlacher.

[Roast]

Hey, wadduya know.

The safety play is a serious concern right now. I don't think getting Tillman back is going to make them that much better.

 

You don't see Urlacher drop too many easy interceptions.

[TruffleShuffle]

This team blows right now...I don't know what else to say.

 

Therein lies the problem of having no motivation in your last game or two. Lovie Smith is trying to keep them going by having the regulars play, but they really know that the game means nothing. So they play like crap, and now this is bad for confidence heading into the playoffs. But if you don't play the starters, then they're really rusty after 3-4 weeks of no real game action. It's being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

[Butterscup1679666578]

0.0 rating. Seriously.

[Roast]

LOL @ Rex's QB Rating.

the safety play concerns me, but that has been a concern for quite a while now....and urlacher dropping the INT is just another example of everyone not giving a damn about this game.

bingo. you win an extra shot of JD in about 2 hours. sorry I can't buy it for you, I need to save up to pay for losing my bet tonight :wink:

[Flames24Rulz]

This is AWESOME!!!

[Soul]

0.0 rating. Seriously.

 

Now it's -200

[Roast]

Is it possible to have a negative QB Rating? If so, Rex just earned it.

 

lol this game is fun.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Hester's best returns are when he goes right up the middle with a head of steam. I don't like when he tries to dance outside.

 

 

Rex, you are awful. Seriously. I don't understand it. We're nuts if we think this guy can win us a playoff game.

[wekse]

game over, i'm really done for the nite this time....everyone have a safe new year's!

[Jon]

The offensive line blows tonight. Just atrocious. Are they trying at all? How does a double team completely disengage from a defensive lineman?

 

Griese will get killed in the 2nd half.

[cubs121]

Grossman.... [-(

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rex has now completed more passes to the Packers' defenders than he has to the Bears' receivers. Now, that is sexy !!

Welcome off the bandwagon then :wink:

[Butterscup1679666578]

Grossman.... [-(

 

Honestly, I try to like him, I try to give him a chance, but he's just a terrible quarterback. I can't see him winning us a playoff game, ever. We need to get a quarterback.

If your line doesn't give a crap enough to get within three feet of a defensive lineman and lets them deflect a pass like that, any QB is going to throw a bunch of interceptions.

Yeah, I've officially snapped. haha

He threw that right into the lineman. He could've kept his arms down and it still would've been deflected.

[cheapseats]

Grossman.... [-(

 

He should be in the Pro Bowl.

 

 

 

:lol:

 

 

Rex in Effect!

[USSoccer]

the worst part of this performance is that we're going to get 2 solid weeks of Grossman vs Griese.

 

I'm more upset about that than the actual performance (which is meaningless).
