I'm sorry
I can’t help but think the title of the den says something about rooting for the Packers. never.
whether or not Green Bay people understand enough about football to realize the rivalry, or not, I hate them, and will never “root” for the Packers.

Why would we want the packers to win?
They are currently a game behind us, whereas Minnesota is a game and a half. I’d rather have Minnesota win especially since we still play them twice and the bears can control their own destiny by beating them both times.

I'd rather see Minny lose this week to the Pack,
and the North being a two-team battle between us and GB, rather than the three of us all potentially getting buched up together.
Minny could very well end up being 3-6 by the second time they play GB, which would undoubtedly have them missing the playoffs this year.
We hate Brett Favre.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
All 4 inches of him.
But I’m for whatever gives the Bears the best chance of winning the North. I’d rather see GB and Minny each with 3 wins than GB with 4, cuz I think GB is a better team.
So… (urp)… go Minny?

rather the queens
Lose every game they can, cause this bears team doesn’t look like it can beat them once, let alone twice.
Also, a comparative strength of schedule:
Vikes have this remaining after GB 1:
Cards, Bears, GB, Skins, Bills, Eags
The Pack have this:
Jets, Boys, MN, Falcons, Niners,
Both have:
Bears, Pats, Giants, Lions.
The Vikes have gimmes in Cards and Bills, the Pack have a gimme in the Niners. Other than that… which schedule would you prefer not to face?

I appreciate the respect.
But I can in no way endorse rooting for the Packers. If it had been the Pack against the 18 – 0 Pats, I would’ve rooted for the Pats

Um yeah ...
“On the field,” Tice said, “they don’t speak because they’re not positive they know what they know what they think they know that they know, and unfortunately, if they would just believe themselves, they’d be right, nine out of 10 times.”
What? The whole Tice article reads like this … no wonder the offensive line looks like a bunch of cerebral leprechaun’s out there – they have no idea what the hell they’re supposed to be doing and neither does the guy coaching them.
I’m sure Tice is a decent coach, but c’mon. This group of guys are just flat out bad and it seems as if Tice as well as Martz is just confusing the hell out of them that when they get on the field they have no idea what to do.
Well...
There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know.

I understood fully what he said.
Of course I attribute that to the “Tice” upgrade I purchased for my Devin Hester decoder ring.

Excellent...
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO FIRE LOVIE (IT'S BACK BABY!)!!!
"There's a fine line between stupid, and clever!"
Lol
it’s pretty well known that Tice is a good line coach, and his play mean, call people out attitude really should set well with most Bears fans, since that’s the primary anti-Lovie complaint I see…but the man is not an English major, that much is for certain.
I think he has very limited talent on the OL. It’s either too young/inexpeienced, or too old and slow.
Kreutz is the only old guy
The rest are green beyond words. No communication on your home field is a bad pre-cursor for when they play on the road, especially domes. Minny’s defense will kill Cutler when they play up there.
"How do you know somebody is great? When you see how they respond to adversity. Anybody can man a ship when the waters are calm." - Jerry Angelo
From the Martz article on the team's site; on the safety that was
"Not putting them in that position when you’re backed up is the other issue," Martz said. "What we thought was a safe protection, they gave us a blitz that we hadn’t seen before and they got us.
"We could have run the ball as well, and that is part of the issue too. We have to be smarter about those kinds of things. We were in good shape in that game and that put us in a bit of arrears."
Not “they got us” and not “that put us in arrears”
You got us, with your playcall and you put us in arrears. Come on Martz, accountability.

He was awesome on the topic of the big hit.
I think it would be incredible if on Sunday every team agreed that for the first two series they go completely no contact. Just let each team run one in for a TD while the opposing defenses just sit back. Send the message.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
Agreed
His stance on the big/illegal hits and the fining and suspension of players was amazing when I heard it on SC and Mike and Mike. As much hate as he gets around here, he earned some points in my book with the fire and passion he put into that argument.
WILDCARD BITCHES!!! YEEEEHHHAAAAA!!!!!
Don't suppose there's a link to his rant this week?

Nah I won't mess with you
I liked him a bit more this week. The less he talks about Cutler the more I like him.

My question
And to be fair, I never really paid much attention to him before, but was he saying a lot of invalid stuff? Or just stuff that we (as Bears’ fans) didn’t want to hear?

Honestly I think he was saying stuff we didn't want to hear.
When he talked about anything else other than the Bears he sounded somewhat knowledgeable and intelligent, then he’s say something dumb about Cutler and BANG he’s a douche.
