Thanks. My bucket list has my wife and I attending a game at Lambeau someday. Maybe we can get together if we ever do. Actually, we just got back from a week in Ephraim, Wisconsin and drove through Green Bay on the way there. That's kind of our getaway area. I like fly fishing and I'm hoping to fish one of the lakes up there.
I would love to see Lambeau as well. That would be awesome if we all could link u some day and watch a game.
I am not sure what other fans of NFCN "rivals show up" here. But if I have acted in an "arrogant" way, I'd love to see an example of it. And if it's Vikings fans? If you want to really trigger them? Tell them what I tell them: I realize you like to think the Vikings are the Packers "rival" but the Packers only true rivalry in the North is with the Bears. Gets 'em every time.😌
What I actually came here to write is that Clete Blakeman and crew are officiating the Chicago at Washington game. Normally a flag happy crew.
Sorry, I check the Zebras for every game each week.
Carry on...lol
I'm not surprised that a Packer fan looks to see who the refs are. Packer fans, and their QBs, constantly look for the flag (and have gotten it for 20 years) on every play.
I don't really care about the Packers or their fans, and don't care what they think. Even if they try to come off as cool, their attitudes and opinions reek of entitlement and superiority because of a couple of lucky QB draft picks (who are now not even on the team). Accordingly, they live in a fantasy land where Love is just the next HOF up. Hahahaha!
Love is a risk-taker and gambler, and benefits from having a bunch of "good" targets that hurt defenses with a good player or two but can't cover everyone. That plays right into Flus's Lovieball hands. Love is going to throw it to the Bears. A lot. SO looking forward to it. Bears are entering an era like I enjoyed in my younger days, where the Pack are a hated joke vs legit scary.
For this game I have confidence in the Bears because the defense is top notch (while still being underrated), and has the depth to withstand Quanny and Spidey out (and they're even better WITH them). The DLine is getting better by the week, and getting to the QB. I think the Bears have a hidden edge here because while Kingsbury knows Caleb, Caleb also knows Kingsbury. Flus is smart & he'll use that to disrupt what they're trying to do.
On offense, Caleb is ascending. He's already playing like one of the better QBs in the league over the past few games, and we've only seen a glimpse of it. He'll make a couple of mistakes but what appears near-certain is he'll also continue to demonstrate skill and command, and he's had two weeks to prepare for this. And his competitiveness will make him want this game more than most for many obvious reasons. What he has now with the weapons surrounding him is the ability to make it happen.

I think that before we talk like that, we should have 2 or 3 blowouts against the Pack. I sincerely think that these are on the way. But, until then, we have no basis to talk.
And on a more serious note, we have been seeing folks who are ardent backers of our NFCN rivals show up and have acted in somewhat of an arrogant way. While we will not condone that, I would like to think the folks who have been hanging out here are just nicer people than that. I would love for a successful Beard franchise and its fans to be thought of as an overall class act.
And with that, I'll get off my soapbox.
Fair enough. Of course my opinion and prediction is just that. And nobody's predictions are real until they are proved true or false. Like the folks who picked the Vikes last night in the pregame. The games need to be played. And who is better than whom is proved on the field over time.
While I won't be rude to fans of another team until they're rude to me... if they come in here and are just nicely arrogant and entitled instead of rude and insulting... it smells the same to me & I don't want any part of it. You don't see Carolina or Jacksonville fans stopping in to talk ball. So I question the motives, superficially nice or not. They want Caleb to bust. They want the Bears to lose. Badly. So I don't give a crap about them no matter how sporting their sincere wish for the Bears to lose comes across. Just my take.
I was actually looking forward to Daniels vs. Caleb, but you can't have everything.
Update: Daniels did practice. Was first reported he did not.
Quinn said he will be listed as questionable for the game.
I'm still hoping Daniels can play. LOL, now I may regret wanting to see him. But it's kind of a letdown not having these 2 QBs face each other like this. I read this a few minutes ago: "Daniels is considered week-to-week, but practiced for the first time Friday, with head coach Dan Quinn saying they "really pushed it." Washington will evaluate his status over the next 48 hours, but Daniels could be a game-day decision, per NFL Media." So that sounds like they gave Daniels a tough workout to see how he handled it. So he might play after all if he passed that test.

Well hell, I'm worried about that too but it's fair to see how the two compare. If Jayden is better, then he's better. He is kind of hurting right now so we may not see the best version of him anyway

I spent the last 20 or so years of my working career right on the Illinois/Wisconsin border. I've worked with a majority of my coworkers being Packer fans. Most are pretty nice folks. And there is a very energetic minority who are not. I'm sure it is the same for other NFL franchises as well. I've seen the same kind of stuff from Notre Dame football fans, and I have found that St Louis Cardinal baseball fans are simply the worst of all.
