Thread: Oh Hell Yeah We Can Deal With That Loss

I know full well what we have on our plate next week. We brought Vick to life in week 1 when we knocked Kolb out of the game, and now we must put him down.

A Bear-Packer playoff rematch would be amazing, and hopefully the winner of that game would at least represent the North well if not win the Superbowl.

How did a Packer fan wind up in Minnesota? That's uncanny. I guess the same could be asked about how could there be a Bears fan in Tennessee.

Once I get out of school, my future career will probably take me out of the area, probably somewhere up North. I'd say the most likely places I would wind up at would be Washington, D.C./Northern VA, New York, Ohio, and yes, even Chicago is a possibility.

I know at least one Bears fan from Wisconsin. IDK, I think Packer fans are pretty cool, but i think it depends on how "seriously" you take football. If you can live with your team losing, you're someone i'd watch a game with, and if you aren't a ***** when your team is winning, same thing.

FencikFan is from Wisconsin, Henry. She's a huge Bears fan. I don't know if she is originally from Chicago or not, but she lives up in Wisconsin.

Don't like how the O played, but I'll live b/c it's better then J doing that shit in the playoffs.

That game was just a defensive donnybrook, that's all there was to it. The sad part was, if a cat had nine lives, we killed 10, because we had three opportunities to put the game away inside the 50 yard line: the two interceptions, and the blown time out call by Lovie Smith when we picked up a first down on a 3rd and 15. I think we could have won that game going away if even two of those plays hadn't backfired. If we could have picked up a touchdown and two field goals, we would have 16-10. It was a good game between two pretty evenly matched opponents, in my opinion, and I think the Packers got the benefit that it was a home game and the crowd was behind them, and that it was a do-or-die situation. If we play again, the Packers don't get to play in Green Bay, and I'm sure we will have learned our lessons from the mistakes we made in this game.

I'm feeling better now, because earlier I said that this game was indicative of how/why we will be one-and-done in the playoffs. I don't believe that now, and I think that there is a better than good chance that we will play whoever our opponent will be in the Divisional Playoff tough and will come out victorious.
