Bears game 14: Monday Dec 20, at MIN (TCF)

[minnesotacubsfan]

Oh, you better believe it'd be storybook. A fan base that completely turned on a guy is now forced to root for him one last time. And if the Vikings win, almost every Packer fan will probably forgive Favre right then and there tonight.

 

It wouldn't really be storybook as far as what the Vikings are going for, but it would be for Favre. And if people know anything about the guy, it's that everything is about him.

 

Who freaking cares what Packers fans are thinking? It's a Vikings game in Minnesota, the storybook atmosphere just isn't there.

 

what? a crappy year for a team with high hopes being led by a broken QB who happens to be a legend, returning to their roots of out-door football, in an extreme local climate, to beat out the recent division favorites?

 

might not be storybook to Bear fans, but just about everyone in MPLS is up for this one. thats why I want to see it, and then beat them and crush their souls

oh man, this thread is going to have some epic lulz tonight

 

Get your popcorn ready. I predict sulleys post count is going up by 100 tonight.

[minnesotacubsfan]

EPIC

I'm praying to God for his kids' sake that the Bears win tonight.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Sulley doesnt beat his kids or wife

 

 

but that whiskey bottle is in for it.

It's already been pointed out in this thread at how ridiculous and/or amusing it is that the Packers have to cheer for their jilted lover tonight. I don't know how that's not worthy of some sort of storyline.

See I don't think it really affects him as much as he makes it seem. I think the pre-emptive ''woe-is-me" attitude has strangely worked as a terrific coping mechanism for him.

20 degrees and 6 inches of snow

 

This game is going to be awesome.

Of course it's worthy of a storyline. What I'm not buying is the supposed storybook atmosphere. Favre coming out of retirement to face the Bears with the Packers on the last week of the year would be a crazy storybook atmosphere. But he's thinking about playing in a meaningless game for the Vikings, a couple weeks before he's gone for good. It's really not that big of a deal.

its not that big of a deal for ANYONE OUTSIDE OF THE TWIN CITIES

 

trust me, TCF will be obnoxious for at least the first 1 1/2 quarters

 

also, if we loose, then we get a fun rivalry game that means something in GB

[minnesotacubsfan]

and if we loose in GB, maybe we get a new head coach.....

[Ding Dong Johnson]

His penchant for texting pics of his junk might make this the last time he's eligible to play. It's not meaningless to him.

[jersey cubs fan]

That game will mean something even if Chicago wins. GB would conceivably still be fighting for a WC spot and Chicago should be fighting for a first round bye. And it could be a precursor to a first round rematch with the Packers.

I'd be willing to bet that if we win tonight and loose to the Jets (likely), Lovie limps into GB resting a good portion of this team

If that's the case then it will probably make the week after that game the meaningful Bears/Packers game, but this time in Chicago.

[minnesotacubsfan]

which we will loose because Lovie has gone soft and is unable to recover the team

[minnesotacubsfan]

all Hail the Greatest Team Ever, the Packers.

i get worked up during the game but it really doesn't mean anything to me besides the opportunity to buy a bears super bowl champions shirt or sweatshirt.

 

right now, with two small children and a wife that works full-time as well and no time to spare, this is one of my only hobbies.

[Magnetic Curses]

and congrats, packers, on winning the division.

And if true, that's the biggest joke of all. Everything is forgiven after a win that doesn't even guarantee the Packers the division? Give me a [expletive] break.

ahhhh i can't stand how you keep mispelling "lose". Sorry.

HURRAH FAVRE! Thank you for keeping us alive for the division for 6 more days until we lose to the Giants!
