One big item not yet discussed with the Rodgers trade: I believe the refs will no longer call games unfairly for the Packers as the golden boy is no longer bringing that TV draw to their team. The star treatment will go to some other team, hopefully us when JF1 launches into the stratosphere this u...

So it's finally happened. Aaron Rodgers, in his tenure as the Green Bay Packers quarterback, will go down in the history books as having had as many Super Bowl appearances as Rex Grossman. It's gratifying, yes. But it feels different somehow, than I would have guessed, having waited on this now for ...

This made my day!

Thanks for that! That it was Robbie that did them in, in NFC North kind of weather, is the icing on the cake.

It's my yearly tradition to post about this: 15 seasons ago the Packers fans were ready to run Brett Favre out of town. And from my perspective, based on how they conducted themselves during that transition, those Packers fans came off like spoiled ingrates. If it wasn't irritating enough that they ...

Props for reviving a zombie thread. I guess UOK's original blog post has been 86ed. As a long suffering Bears fan, my major source of postseason delight has been watching Rodgers and the Packers fail to get to the Super Bowl year after year. I won't care if Aaron gets to a Super Bowl after leaving ...

I skipped last year, but I'm certainly happy to be back saying 'I told you so' to no one I particular. There's a chance Aaron's played his last game as a Packer, and even if he does come back, he'll be in his 17th season...with exactly 1 Super Bowl appearance to his name a full decade ago. The Curse...

Uh-oh. We've been here before. A crapstorm is coming and a huge contingent of Bears fans will now dislike Eddie Jackson for as long as he's with the team (and probably after). Time will eventually heal all wonds and if he's one day inducted into the Hall of Fame, he'll give his speech in Canton spe...

On a different forum six years ago, I was annoyed not only at Aaron Rottengers quick success, but also how quickly the ingrate Packers fans turned on Brett Favre, meanwhile the Bears couldn't develop a QB to save their lives. While seemingly everyone else was going on about how much success Aaron w...

If Pace hadn't traded at all, but still drafted Trubisky, Shaheen, Jackson, Cohen, Morgan, and a couple of busts... what would people say about that draft? That's a good draft right? yes WTF everyone? Do we have hundreds of think pieces written about the loss of a 3rd round pick? not only do we hav...

Congrats to Brian. Not many people can claim to have literally revolutionized the position they were playing. It's a shame his last few years hurt his overall reputation, but considering he played 13 years, I think he deserves putting those final years in that context. Urlacher got hurt in his 10th ...

I honestly consider him done at this point. Dude is almost 30 already, has had all kinds of surgeries over the last two seasons, and has seen his play steadily decline. It sucks. For him and for us as fans. I understand what you're getting at. Looking at the glass half-full though, that's what the ...

This is the part where I would say "I told you so, on Robbie Gould". Though I guess I can't, since I don't see that I ever mentioned it in my post history, but I was definitely shaking my head at the time. After over 2 decades of watching the Bears closely, I've seen it too many times. If ...

Do former Bears players only get discussed in the non-Bears forum? Anyway, Forte and McCown got 4 of the Jets 5 TDs today in a win over Buffalo. It's interesting to note that if Brandon Marshall had stayed there, the Jets would have been all former Bears at QB, RB, & WR.

Cutler posts a 70 QBR today, out dueled by Josh McCown who posted a 126 QBR Yes, it's very interesting to consider this contest between two recent ex-Bear QBs. One game is pretty meaningless with respect to making a direct comparison, but it's not lost on me that here we are years later, and Josh i...

I fixed that for you and you're (now) 100% right. I know that's what you meant.

That may be the only time I've seen a "fixed it for you" post that wasn't done sarcastically.

The goal is to win Superbowls correct? Of the last 11 QBs to win the Superbowl.....8 of them did not start week one of their rookie year. ... Mitch can learn from the sidelines early this year to better prepare him to succeed one he steps on the field. Is that counting the last 11 superbowls or the...

Roberto Garza had a good career with no ACL at all. Of course, Meredith's injury could be more extensive than just an ACL.

As another poster already mentioned, with that D, we really only needed a decent QB who could stay on the field. With Cutler healthy, we'd have won 2 super bowls, minimum. Of course, same thing with a healthy McMahon. But if the '85 Bears get a healthy Jay Cutler, do the '85 Patriots get a healthy T...

How did an article about how the Bears have sucked since Lovie left (and not mentioned, the D has sucked since Urlacher left) turn into a thread full of replies about how both Lovie and Url suck or are jerks. You all doth protest too much. Plus, Url was joking. He played for the Bears his whole care...

Didn't read this whole thread, but it's worth mentioning that if Romo were to sign with the Bears and end up continuing to play at the same level as in recent years (and his whole career, for that matter), he'd instantly be the best QB in Bears history...and not by a close margin. If we still had Br...

Normally that increase wouldn't be a big deal because it's not much more than inflation, especially if some seat prices are going down. But it's easier to criticize after the worst season record since 1969. As has already been said, the people that keep buying keep the prices rising. I've only been ...

Be more specific. What do you not get? The analogy of Pat to a hotel maid or the comparison of Cutler's injury potential to Pat's?

Yes, but I think he is also nursing a sore knee. He was out for a week or so earlier in the season, and very well may be playing in a lot of pain right now. I remember the scouting report, and I saw a highlight of him in college, lay out a return man. I think if he's completely healthy, he makes th...

This one I am torn on. He seemed to show the ability, but could not do it consistently. Oh well I guess. Hopefully we can use these 6th rounders for trade ups on draft day next year. I see us trading down now too (which I am also ok with) to stockpile the picks. Hopefully we trade down and stockpil...

The game plan was "we aren't going to let Clausen fuck us". And it worked until the Hawks starting scoring points. Then Jimmy couldn't get the ball down the field. Or anywhere. He had protection. He had a decent enough running game. He had open guys. He had 8 incomplete passes all day. It...

Thing is, Clausen didn't really play that bad. No turnovers, relatively accurate with good velocity, decisive, and only 17 attempts. He played like a backup, and he's getting paid like one too...I think it's near league minimum. He looked like Dan Marino out there compared to Henry Burris and Jonat...
