Sunday Morning Open Thread

PrintI'm tempted to call this open thread: Vikings at Bears. I expect that's what we'll discuss. Since they both can't lose, I'm decidedly neutral about this game. Though it will be interesting to see if the Vikings will have any healthy receivers. WR Sidney Rice is still out, while Percy Harvin and Bernard Berrian are both questionable. Good thing they released WR Randy Moss.
The rest of the morning slate is bleh, though the media has done it's best to make the Jets/Browns press conferences interesting. It might be fun to watch CB Al Harris play for the Dolphins (against Moss and the Titans no less). I do expect the Bills to win their first game of the year. After watching the Lions pull defeat from the jaws of victory last week, I expect they'll will find a way to lose against a winless team.

What's Brett Favre's overall record at Soldier's Field?
Somehow, I think he’s 50/50. Argument among friends and I – I think I’ve only ever seen him choke, myself, but everyone else thinks I’m off my nut.
"Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." - Vince Lombardi
I think he's better than that.
He struggled against Lovie’s teams but before that GB was pretty dominant in Chicago, if memory serves.
BCB free since 8/24/10 and happier for it.

I think you're probably right
Considering one of the main factors in Lovie’s hiring was “so we stop losing to the Packers”

No, 50/50 is not right. He’s lost a few lately, but over the years, he’s done pretty well in Chicago.

Why didn’t Hester fair catch that, and field it? Did anybody else ever return punts at any point when they played football? Was I taught wrong when I was told to put my heels on the 10 yard line and catch anything in front of it? I swear guys let the ball drop in front of the 10 yard line all the time.

Bares' victims, so far, include:
Lions (2-6),
cowBoys (1-7),
Panthers (1-7)
and Bills (0-8).
No other team in the leagues gets to play all of those teams.
The only legitimate team the have beat is the Packers; their schedule gets much tougher the rest of the way.
IMO, they are who we thought they were. :)

And their Oline SUCKS
