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

[Soul]

I really hope Lovie isn't going to consider starting Griese in the Divisional game.

 

Just out of curiosity, why?

Worst reality show idea of all-time is that Grease one.

Yeah, can't change commanders in chief in the middle of a war, or something like that.

 

:wink:

 

I really think the Bears are in a no-win situation at QB. Rex isn't horrible (Krenzel, Orton, etc), but he'll probably be the worst starting QB in the playoffs.

 

Griese was a top-5 NFL QB in 2000, but that was 6 years ago, and he's been up and down since then, and he's taken how many snaps with the Bears this year?

With the Cowboys, Bears, and Giants pretty much all sucking it up lately, it seems like the only teams that are still worth a flip in the NFC are the Eagles and Saints. Seahawks are OK.

[Flames24Rulz]

I realize all the circumstances of this game i.e. meaningless game, resting starters, lack of motivation...but still, the Bears look like crap.

 

I still see Urlacher out there. Why, I have no idea.

 

Lovie isn't a good coach. That's why.

 

Nothing good could have come out of playing the starters tonight, especially after GB was eliminated, but Smith did it anyway because it's a "rivalry" game.

 

Well, look what's happened: Your starting QB had a nightmare game with a 0.0 rating, your defense got gashed, and you've likely ignited a full blown QB controversy unless Griese throws a couple picks and sucks.

 

All for a stupid, meaningless rivalry.

 

The smart thing would have been to start Griese and the backup offense, and none of the defense.

 

Agreed.

 

Sean Payton did the right thing today. Play the starters for a drive, then take them out. If anyone has any lingering injury, sit them for the entire game. Imagine if someone gets hurt now in the 3rd quarter of a 23-0 meaningless blowout.

[TruffleShuffle]

Well Lovie's going to start Griese anyway, LOL.

 

Great. Now I can't read the paper, listen to the radio or watch ESPN or Comcast for the next 2 weeks. :evil:

 

Honestly, I don't do it anyways. Sports media is awful.

 

I know. I don't know why I do it. I need to stop.

Griese is so nimble and quick ;)

[Butterscup1679666578]

Give the ball to Benson on third and 1. Jesus.

[Flames24Rulz]

The pressure we've put on both QBs has been great to see tonight.

[Butterscup1679666578]

That was awesome.

[Flames24Rulz]

Flag.

[rickrolled]

for some odd reason, i had a feeling peterson would fumble

[Butterscup1679666578]

[Flames24Rulz]

Ugh.

Great play call by Lovie. Got nothing to lose.

[Jon]

Ah, great. Waste the fake punt tonight.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Ironically, he fumbles after the George Halas footage about preventing fumbles.

[Soul]

That's so weird, I did too!

 

Maynard's the best QB we have tonight.

[soccer10k]

Ugh.

 

Start the Maynard for QB bandwgn's.

 

He's thrown for more yards than Grossman today.

[TruffleShuffle]

Ah, great. Waste the fake punt tonight.

 

not necessarily a waste... keeps the other team honest in the next game they play

[TruffleShuffle]

lol nice pass

[Butterscup1679666578]

[Flames24Rulz]

Way to telegraph that one, Griese.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Calling Craig Krenzel. Mr. Krenzel please report to Halas Hall.
