Staying outside of the conspiracy theory on Green Bay, the NFL in general has been nearly impossible to watch this season. The flagarant overuse of flags as destroyed the flow of the game. I just don't enjoy it. The number of times there have been 3+ penalties in a row is really high this season.

Chiefs season ruined by Mahomes injuries.

It'll be packers (because we're MN fans) vs Patriots in the SB.

Post by **trixR4kids** » Thu Oct 17 9:18 pm

The chiefs have such a good offense that they don’t necessarily need Mahomes throwing the ball to be successful. That said idk if they have a competent backup or not.

Jesus to listen to fans like you (or well, half the pundits out there) you would think the Packers have been in the SB every year since forever. Must be dumb luck they have only made it once in the Erin Rogers Era.

I would give them credit for all the playoff appearances or Conference Title Game appearances...but I have learned over the years from Vikings fans those dont count.

Sounds like GB may be without each of their top 3 WRa for Sunday.....but they play Oakland.

Enough reason to get my hopes up?

They’re awful. All 3 phases, and not just Mitch. Ugly game at home coming off the bye playing the Saints practice squad. Just bad bad football all around.

The Bears offense looks Rutgers-like.

I didnt understand their decision to go away from the guy who was their most explosive player all year last year (Cohen) by drafting Montgomery AND signing Davis. Plus adding CP84.
Obviously Cohen isn't an every-down back but he's barely been used this season and their offense has been a disaster.

A much better question is why did they trade valuable picks to move up to take Trubisky when they could have traded down, gotten more assets and taken a better quarterback.

Tribisky is one bad QB.

With the Lions and Bears long gone and out of it by the time we play them at home those should shape up for two Ws

Wow Matt Nagy looks like a boneheaded coach this year.

Post by **00xtremeninja** » Sun Oct 27 6:11 pm

I am so sick of the Patriots having the refs in their pockets, these calls are just absurd. It's the crap like this over the past several years that has dragged my interest in the nfl down. This is getting to NBA levels of practically fixing games

And I know you guys will jump and say the Pack get the same treatment, and the other chosen boys of the nfl.

A couple of big questionable decisions at the end of that game. Bears punting from midfield with 2 minutes left? Chargers not going for it on 4th and inches on the ensuing drive? Show some guts, one of you.

I guess Nagy showed some guts having a 1st and ten with 40 seconds left on the 20 something. He runs it down to nothing a trots his kicker out there for a 40 yarder. The Bears kicking game had been a mess since Gould.

Plus the Bears were moving the ball with ease. That’s some stupidity right there.

Post by **The Rube** » Sun Oct 27 9:23 pm

That game had everything BUT scoring, the way those teams were moving the ball overall. Lots of big plays, etc. Neither could really close the deal, really. I don't think LAC won that game. The Bears lost it.

GB recovers a fumble and about 20 players end up in the end zone jumping around celebrating including some obviously coming off the bench....no penalty

Post by **The Rube** » Sun Oct 27 10:20 pm

NE would be 3-4-1 today if their offense scored zero points.

That's just sick.

Don’t get into a “ Who’s had a worse owner and a crappier stadium “ with a Bears fan. You had LUXURY.

If you want to blame the General Mills (among other corporations) Ticket bailout on a dome and ownership, you’re proving the point better than I did.

Wow. For all the talk about the refs loving Green Bay, they must hate Chicago. A weak roughing the passer call on 3rd down followed by picking up the flag for OPI when Fuller is manhandled by Ertz to free him up for a TD catch. The Bears are bad enough without the help.
