This is it. It's time to pass the torch in the NFC North. The Vikings tried to grab it last year, but got slapped back in place. It is the time for the Bears to step up, assert their dominance, and take it from Erin Rodgers and the reeling Packers.
I think this game starts a little shaky, and the Packers have a good first drive, but that snaps the Bears defense back to life, and it's pure dominance after that. Biscuits shakes off all of the rust, and has a good day (23/32 315 2/0). Receivers are running open all over the place. Cohen has another monster day. Howard runs for 100+ yds again, and two TD's. On the other side, The Bears DL absolutely dominates the Packers OL, and Rodgers is running for his life on the field, and yelling at his OL to "do your job!" off of it. It gets ugly by the 2nd half.
I said it in another thread. I am full meatball this week. I am guzzling the Kool-aid. For better or worse.

Screw it, I'm also going full meatball...
Rodgers and Adams have a decent day but the Bears roll the Packers at home.
Bears 41
Packers 19
Soldier Field and the city of Chicago goes bonkers.

I will be the first dissenter. A A Ron gives me nightmares. He is like Freddy Krueger. I can't get the evil out of my mind until he is defeated. The Bears have not been good about it.
One of those situations: Bears coming off a big win, have the hated rival coming to town. The Pack are wounded, backed into a corner, have to win. Wounded animals can be the scariest.
I look A A Ron to get rid of the ball quickly to limit what Mack can do. I foresee some no huddle in attempt to wear out the D. I see the Pack rushing laterally to make the D run. Rodgers knows how to beat the Bears. I believe Philbin lets Rodgers go full Peyton Manning.
The Bears have everything they need to beat the Packers, have had numerous times over the years, but for some reason they fail.
Trubs doesn't have it all together this game. Howard and Cohen do not do what they did last week.
A A Ron is his usual self.
Bears - 17

I have this image in my head of Jackson picking off Rodgers, and taking it to the house. A-A-ron is the last man to beat, and EJax stiff arms him into the ground, officially passing the torch of the NFC North to the Bears.
These are the things bouncing around in the void that is my noggin...

Bears 27. Fudge 13.
The pack have ripped my heart out so many times. I want this game close, and then RIP it away. Trubisky throws a game tying TD to Shaheen with just less than 2 min to go. Everyone in the stadium thinks oh god here we go, too much time for Rogers.... and then Pick six (Amos) to end it like it should have happened in week 1. The defense celebrates by playing red rover.

Rogers has only thrown one interception this year which is pretty incredible... but everything else in his game is way down on his usual standards. TD% and QBR are at career lows and completion % is his 2nd worst season as a starter. So does he regress to the mean with a good game or does that unbelievably low interception % get turned around...
Well neither for me. I think he protects the ball but between our increasingly impressive coverage and the great pass rush mean his completion % stays on the lower end and they can't get much going.
Trubisky still isn't quite right but after having had his collar felt after the Rams game, plays a little more within himself and doesn't throw more than one interception. The rest of the offence balls out and helps him out of some tight spots, particularly Howard who starts a pre playoffs rumble against a poor Packers rush defence.
A lack of turnovers means the Packers move the ball enough to get 4 scores but only 16 points. Howard and Nagy keep us with enough short downs for average Trubisky play to score 5 times for 27 points.
The game doesn't look as close as a not particularly close scoreline.
Bears 27, Packers 16.

This is it. This is the moment we have all been waiting for since week 1. Since Mack flashed the silencer and Rodgers responded by riding back in and embarrassing us on national TV, AGAIN. This is the most important game in this young team's growth. Because make no mistake, if Chicago loses to Green Bay, all we have done so far is for nothing. This team MUST defeat the Packers, at home, to win the division. The team needs it, the city needs it, this entire fanbase needs it.
So I am not predicting in this game with my head, but my heart. I have to. I am 35 years old. I didn't get to see the 85 Bears like some here. I didn't get to see the glory years. I got to see the Bears in the 90s, and living in CT the Bears would only be on TV if they played the Giants or on Monday Night Football. Which always seemed to be vs the Packers. And I would stay up late at night on school nights, to see Brett Farve embarrass the Bears. To humiliate and destroy the team I loved and never got to watch.
Then Lovie came, and for a brief flash we turned the tide. Farve was no longer the demon I feared more than any other player. He was a washed up old man, and seeing him broken was glorious. I thought, this must have been what watch in the 80s was like! This is what it feels like to be good! But it was oh so fleeting. Because somehow, someway, the stupid f'ing Packers replaced Hall of Famer Brett Farve with a better quarterback. The smug douchebag Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers has owned the Bears. Simply owned them. Nowadays, I can watch many of the games through different internet means. But watching more games has not made the sting of being owned by the Packers any easier. If anything, it has intensified my hatred. It has turned it into a fiery pit of hatred in my soul where I wish terrible things to happen to Rodgers on the football field. I want to see him broken, I want to see blood, I want to never see that smug grin at the line of scrimmage presnap again. I want Nagy to do to Rodgers what Lovie was able to accomplish vs Farve, and more.
I also now have a daughter, who is 16 months old. She will be getting her first Bears jersey for Christmas, a home Trubisky jersey, the player she always claps happily too when we are watching press conferences. See watches the games with me with such excitement. An excitement that simply can not die at the hands of Rodgers like my childhood was marred by Brett Farve. This team NEEDS to put an end to the era of Packer domination forever. They need to for all of us who have stuck by this team through it all.
So for this game I have the Bears winning, and winning big. This is the game that catapults the upcoming playoff run. The run that will, hopefully, finally, allow me to open and watch a certain DVD I have sitting in a box, that has never been opened or viewed. A dvd that contains a certain shuffle. A dvd that has been waiting for me for over a decade.
The defense picks up where they left off vs the Rams and Rodgers is a puddle of mush by the end of this game. The offense works it's way back into form and shows the league it is ready to play with the big boys finally. And even Parkey doesn't miss a kick this week. Revenge is here my friends. This is the game.
Bears win! 42-0

I went back and re-watched Trubisky against the Rams and when his feet were right he was on target with his throws. When his feet were scatter-shot, he was all over the place. He needs to clean that up, and I think he knows that. But I digress...
It's fucking time, man. The Football Gods are smiling upon us and our karma has patiently been waiting to exorcise the demons that are the Green Bay Packers. I'm 36 years old and much like HurricaneBear my youth was ruined by Brett Favre and the Packers. My adolescence wasn't much better because they transitioned from one Hall of Fame QB to another while I was stuck watching Cade McNown, Moses Moreno, Will Furrer, Peter Tom Willis, Steve Stenstrom, Chad Hutchinson, etc.
We're 9-4 and have the chance, AT HOME, to ostensibly knock the Packers out of the playoffs while punching our own ticket in via clinching the NFC North. Let me repeat that: We will be NFC North Champions and playoff bound if we beat the Packers at home.
I don't want to just win -- I want to leave NO MOTHERFUCKING DOUBT. I'm going full meatball, baby!

This game worries me. Just like the Giants game two weeks ago. GB played well last week albeit against a poor Atlanta team. They have a "new" HC to play for. And Mitch was average to poor against the Rams.
Hearing Rodgers talk about making the playoffs by winning out the other week hacked me off, because he boasted about the success they've had against the Bears and he reckoned they'll win that game for that reason. Whilst it's true that he has owned our Bears, it's time to turn the tables on him. That was pure arrogance. Heck, we should have won at Lambeau.
Time for the tide to turn in this rivalry. I'm really hoping for a Bears win, but I'm worried.

Anyone see what Hicks said?
“Nobody forgot Aaron’s little comments after they lost that big game where he said, ‘All we got to do is win out, and go to Soldier Field and win like we’ve done a bunch in the past,'” Hicks said during an appearance on 670 The Score. “I’m real excited for Aaron to come down here and play this game.”
For that reason alone, the bears will finish this game like they started the first meeting.

But watching more games has not made the sting of being owned by the Packers any easier. If anything, it has intensified my hatred. It has turned it into a fiery pit of hatred in my soul where I wish terrible things to happen to Rodgers on the football field. I want to see him broken, I want to see blood, I want to never see that smug grin at the line of scrimmage presnap again. I want Nagy to do to Rodgers what Lovie was able to accomplish vs Farve, and more.
I also now have a daughter, who is 16 months old. She will be getting her first Bears jersey for Christmas, a home Trubisky jersey, the player she always claps happily too when we are watching press conferences. See watches the games with me with such excitement. An excitement that simply can not die at the hands of Rodgers like my childhood was marred by Brett Farve. This team NEEDS to put an end to the era of Packer domination forever. They need to for all of us who have stuck by this team through it all.
So for this game I have the Bears winning, and winning big. This is the game that catapults the upcoming playoff run. The run that will, hopefully, finally, allow me to open and watch a certain DVD I have sitting in a box, that has never been opened or viewed. A dvd that contains a certain shuffle. A dvd that has been waiting for me for over a decade.
The defense picks up where they left off vs the Rams and Rodgers is a puddle of mush by the end of this game. The offense works it's way back into form and shows the league it is ready to play with the big boys finally. And even Parkey doesn't miss a kick this week. Revenge is here my friends. This is the game.
Bears win! 42-0

It's really pretty amazing how far this team has come in such a short amount of time. My birthday (1 week before Christmas) and Christmas are always such downers because the NFL always seems to schedule a Packers game right on my birthday or Christmas. This year feels different. There is absolutely no reason in my mind to not believe in this team. So here's what I want for my birthday next week....
Bears: 48
Packers: 6

As much as I'd like to see a Packer utter embarrassment--and I think it's possible, but there are a number of reasons I don't see it this time around.
1. Biscuit is still rough around the edges.
2. Their defense has been playing better lately.
3. We've already played them once and familiarity will tell them what NOT to do against us.
4. Aaron Rodgers is still Aaron Rodgers.
As others have said, Rodgers and Adams will get theirs. But it won't be enough. Jones will do more damage than Gurley did. But not much better. Rodgers throws at least 1 pick to our league leading intercepters. Biscuit will be better than last week. But not Tampa better. Nags will continue to run the ball.
Bears 26
Packers 20

“Nobody forgot Aaron’s little comments after they lost that big game where he said, ‘All we got to do is win out, and go to Soldier Field and win like we’ve done a bunch in the past,'” Hicks said during an appearance on 670 The Score. “I’m real excited for Aaron to come down here and play this game.”
For that reason alone, the bears will finish this game like they started the first meeting.
Bears 30
Pukes 17
Not really what he said but how he said it. The douchery is high in that one they call Rodgers.
I would love nothing more than the defense to smother him and wipe that little grin off his face.

Reading through some of the Packer forums, it's clear they are not fond of their current team. About 60% think this is going to be a Bears blowout, another 30% think it's going to be close, and only about 10% actually think that the Packers are going to win.
One thing that kept coming up over and over. "They have a good defense, not a great one." And, "Trubisky sucks."
I did see one poster say, "Where is Jay Cutler when we need him," which I thought was hilarious.
