Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
Sunday, November 16th, 2008
Noon CST, FOX
This is an open thread for the game.
Bears: QB Caleb Hanie (3rd), CB Marcus Hamilton, RB Kevin Jones, T Fred Miller, DT Matt Toeaina, WR Earl Bennett, NT Anthony Adams, DE Ervin Baldwin. Analysis: RB Adrian Peterson will back up RB Matt Forte with Jones inactive. WR Brandon Lloyd is active and will see his first action in several weeks. Packers: QB Brian Brohm (3rd), CB Pat Lee , RB DeShawn Wynn, LB Nick Barnett, T Breno Giacomini, G Allen Barbre, WR Ruvell Martin, DE Jeremy Thompson. Analysis: QB Aaron Rodgers and CB Charles Woodson are active and will start, as expected. The absence of Barnett is good news for the value of Bears RB Matt Forte this week.
RB Adrian Peterson, the Chicago one, had a 100 yard game last season against the Packers, so he'll get a chance to run up some yards against them instead of RB Kevin Jones. It's hard to imagine WR Brandon Lloyd will make much of a difference because Lloyd's been awful during his career and the Packers' secondary has been outstanding this season, but Lloyd was having a very good 2008 season before he was hurt.
The Packers are going with only two RBs again this week since Wynn is inactive. Thompson has a groin injury and is out for the game, but he was awful last week at Minnesota (although he probably was awful because he was hurt). It's not clear exactly who is going to replace Barnett in the middle, but all signs point to LB A.J. Hawk with LB Brandon Chillar stepping into Hawk's outside linebacker spot, but the Packers have been intentionally vague about how their defense will play line up on Sunday. WR Ruvell Martin is inactive so don't expect to see any five WR sets.

Out for lunch
I’ll be off to my favorite sports bar to watch the game, but unfortunately the place is without wi-fi. I’ve gotta get on them about it. So I won’t be on the open thread for this game. Have fun without me! Go Pack Go!
Nice run by Ryan Grant...
the first 20 plus run since week 1…wow….our offensive line has no problem run blocking…
big third down..
but a false start by the offensive line…sheesh
so...
1st series, two penalties on offensive line….3rd and 8th now
clifton hurt
72-90 - TIMMY FOR CY YOUNG!!!
Adopted Giant: Daryl Maday - The roller coaster ride continues - Augusta to Norwich to San Jose, the latter of which has been a success so far. 1.59 ERA.
should be back next series...
he hurt his pinky, got it taped up

punt...
so we have the field position advantage early on…now we need a stop…the AJ Hawk era as middle linebacker is about to begin! (kidding)
well one of the guys ...
…we could have drafted other than Harrell …Greg Olson with a big catch for first down
Wow...
whew…for a second there I thought it might be on Al Harris…
KUHN

1st and goal at the 3...
fluid movement and td Jennings!
Aj Hawk
already with 5 tackles…through 1 quarter…
once again...
can’t come up witha big 3rd down stop…sheesh
I think Chicago saw the tape
of how minny’s running backs were able to expose the pack with short passes to the running back…
Nice stop..

nice to see Bjack in there
good run…the packers are establish their AUTHORUHTAY on Offense
Wow
14 runs versus 8 passes…and we’ve reached the century mark running the ball….Bears are starting to crowd the line…time for play action?
Yeah Jordy stepped out of bounds...
but wasn’t he pushed out…?
I don’t get how that is a penalty on Nelson. Wasn’t that illegal contact since he was beyond the five yard zone? Stupid NFL and its stupid rules
good point...
I didn’t even think of that…your right, the bears db pushed him beyond 5 yards
what a difference a week makes
Jeff Garcia is 9 out 10 passing versus the Vikings…see what you can do when youpass protect lol
grargh
underthrown, ddrive was open…

nice stop on 3rd and 1 by the pack D
yeah bad pass by A rodge and good play by Urlacher…
so far so good...
matt forte is being held to 45 yards on 12 carries…about 3.8 yards a pop…I can live with that 4:22 left in the 2nd quarter
wow they really want to establish
the run…which makes sense…chew time off the clock and lessen your defensive exposure…also set up the pass…I like it
James Jones!
welcome back James Jones nice catch…and I also like how they are rolling out Aaron Rodgers more in the pocket…avoid the pass rush…it seems that the pocket collapse real fast when he takes the regular 5 step drop
It is great to see
McCarthy finally stick with the run. B Jax good get some more rushes he looked good when he gave Grant that break.
The sad thing is
I think he gave Grant that break after he got popped real hard by the safety, (brown I think it was) otherwise we may not have seen Bjax….
but I'm only guessing
maybe it was part of the plan to have Bjax come in at that point anyways
One commentator said after last game...
that Ryan Grant is one of those running backs that gets stronger and stronger as the season goes on…and he is showing it…80 yards here in the first half
Big run by Grant!
first and goal…the blocking has been outstanding!
TOUCH DOWN RYAN GRANT
wow…105 yards and counting…awesome
terrible punt
72-90 - TIMMY FOR CY YOUNG!!!

That was absolute trash
Hester almost takes Williams helmet off and the flag goes on Cole for not being invisible?!?! What the hell?
Frye is honestly gotta be one of the top 10 3rd Stringers in all of the NFL right now--colbyb
Speaking of Tramon Williams...
…he has been step for step with mr 4.3 speed Devin Hester…truly awesome
wow
Chicago wide receiver has ZERO receptions
Is there any doubt
which is the best secondary in football? only tightends and running backs have caught balls…that on the linebackers
Aaron Kampman with the pressure...
and AJ Hawk does an EXCELLENT job on covering forte there…receiving props from none other than Troy Aikman (whoop dee do)
whew
just a 7 yard return by Hester…breathes easy…1st and 10 Bears at their own 19 and the BUCS just TIED the vikings yee haw…Jeff Garcia has chewed up and spit it the Vikings overrated secondary 16 out of 21 for 205 yards…yikes
Finally! A sack!
those are few and far between for us…nicely done…what a defensive show!
Al Harris with a 15 yard penalty
he was beaten by Olson who was out wide ! I guess it’s official, Woodson is better than harris lol
ONce again...
on 3rd and 6…pass the devin hester and TRAMON WILLIAMS was DRAPED all over him…awesome
good pass defense
big stop
72-90 - TIMMY FOR CY YOUNG!!!

Worst starting field postion for the pack
1st and 10 at their own 12…midway through the 3rd
Jennings with a 25 to 30 yard recepton
nobody in the chicago secondary can cover him
First down GB
Well Kuhn is an unsong hero today too…he has been blocking like a maniac for grant too…adn korey hall too
RYAN GRANT
22 yards down to the 1…and a great block by Jordy Nelson!
TOUCHDOWN
It’s officially a blowout! Donald Lee on play action
Lmao...
guess who went for it on 4th and 1 in their own territory again…the Vikings and Peterson got stuffed…Childress is a moron…Tampa is now driving on the vikings
end of the 4th quarter...
GB driving…Bears territory…24 – 3…game, set, match. * holds up four fingers *
And we are tied for first!
It was the most complete game of the year…the best offensive showing of the year as well…about 200 yards rushing…over 200 yards passing…so after all the injuries, the ryan grant hold out, the favre saga, having a first time starting QB ….after all that, we are tied for first with 5 games to go….gotta love it, gotta love it.
