If the Packers win tonight they'll have earned it. If they lose they'll deserve it. GPG!!!!

Maybe Pat Benatar was right all along:

"We are young
Heartache to heartache, we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield"

Mic drop,

I don’t trust the Packers since 2015 and that horrendous debacle…my daughter had my little granddaughter dressed in some Packer clothes and drove over here because obviously the Packers was going to the Superbowl…by the time they got here and walked in with her so proud to tell G’pa that the pack was going to the SuperBowl they had blown it as every fan knows….didnt know how to tell her, nope, not this year…ever since then there have been more than I few head scratching loses and blown games so I sure hope they win tonight but won’t be surprised if they blow it some weird way…I’ll be pissed though…never been all aboard with either Love nor MLF wish they prove me wrong….GO PACK GO at least against the friggin Bears..

Time 4 J Love to be Da Man.GB needs to play with controlled aggression avoid stupid penalties.They knocked out your starting QB last time step up punch them in the mouth in their house yeah it's personal.

It's a fascinating study of human nature to find that so many of the games in the NFL are close to the end, with real suspense all the way.
No matter how far ahead or how far behind the Packers get, there's a good possibility that the game will get close before it's over and done.
Therefore, if our guys play hard and smart all the way through, there'll be a fantastic finish. We've seen it in the two games with the Bears already this season, and it's likely to be the case tonight in a playoff matchup.
Then, in crunch time, it's the team who keeps its determination and cool until the last second.
From first to last, not too high and not too low.
We tend to know these things about football, and life in general; but I think that most of life is being reminded of the good things we already know, and then encouraging each other to stay the course and finish strong.

Zach Tom inactive tonight:
https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/onsi/packers-bears-playoff-inactives

We'll have to protect the ball. Based on seeing over 100 Bears/Packers games, I'd say it's a given that we'll get boned by the refs and the Bears will play like they usually do. We can't survive that AND turn the ball over and expect to win.

I think we're a better team. I think we're a more seasoned team.

It'd be nice to have Tom, because nothing good happens on offense unless people get blocked, and he gets his guy blocked. Five guys like him and you'd lead the league in offense.

To play this game in the elements...you need to have hair on your chest and a fire burning in your belly.

Come on Pack, you can do it.

Finish Strong,

PB

Wow...Rams about to get beat by Carolina.

IN EDIT:
Ope! NVM.

RIP Bobby

No Zac Tom-that is a blow.

Fall off the bone baby back ribs.

Packer/Bear playoff football.

Lets do this

Well.....this is it.

This coming week, we (Packer Nation) talks the Seattle game.

Or...we talk about the shit hitting the fan.

Fun Fact: The bears haven't won a playoff game since the 2010 season.
The week before the Packers beat the bears in the NFCCG.

Nixon already trash-talking

So here we are and as always my three worries are will the Packers be prepared and show up today will they show up for the whole day and game and third will MLF take advantage of both . GPG

CoryJenner John:

"And to make matters worse, with right tackle Zach Tom listed as a game time decision, that could make Love’s time in the pocket even tighter than usual. Which means that he will not have a lot of time to get comfortable and set his feet. His feet are usually a tangled mess, even a clean pocket.

So we’ve seen this movie before and the ending has been rotten. The only way to have an alternate ending is to score right away. Put pressure on the Bears. Make them think they have to pass to stay in the game. (When in fact, they don’t.)

LaFleur needs to just keep it simple. Make the throws quick and easy early on. Crossers, screens and curls sound like a great first series diet. Let Love get his groove back slowly and easily. There’s no need to risk it with a deep ball right away unless he’s got a receiver open by at least five yards.

I want Love completing all the layups so he has a chance at completing the three-pointers."

Cory is spot on!!

Cory, sees that all but the Gutey Propagandists, the Rodgers Haters, and the Jordan Love bitter enders see.

Of the 14 quarterbacks in the playoffs Rodgers has the lowest pressure % (sacks, hurries and knockdowns as a % of drop backs.) - 15%. And this is with the 1st and 2nd string left tackles injured and out and a 3rd string left tackle - and undrafted free agent - starting the last 5 weeks.

Rodgers - like other top quarterbacks - is able to do this because he makes smart and fast decisions.

Jordan Love is the polar opposite, despite top picks on receivers, running backs, tight ends, and offensive lineman, Jordan is just what he was in college - slow in processing the field and clumsy and lacking agility or awareness in the pocket.

If the Packers run more times than Jordan drops back to pass the Packer beat the Bears tonight.

In Lafleur’s first 3 years with Jordan as starting QB, Jordan is now 11 wins 18 losses and 1 tie in games where Jordan drops back to pass more than the Packers run - that is a ABSYMAL 38.3% winning percentage!!!

In Lafleur’s first 3 years with Rodgers as starting QB, Rodgers was 34 wins and 12 losses where Rodgers dropped back to pass more than the Packers ran – that is a 73.9% winning percentage.

Lafleur – a very very smart and aware coach – recognized that Rodgers passing accuracy, arm strength, ability to think and quickly process the field, and agility in the pocket and pocket awareness made passing a winning formula with Rodgers as starer so the Packers passed more than they ran in 46 of the 53 games - that is 86.8% - that Rodgers started under Lafleur in Rodgers first 3 years with Lafleur.

Lafleur – a very very smart and aware coach – recognized that Love had poor passing accuracy, weaker arm strength than Rodgers, an inability to think and quickly process the field, and a lack of agility in the pocket and pocket awareness made passing a losing proposition with Jordan as starter so the Packers have passed more than they ran in just 30 of the 51 games – that is 58.8% - that Jordan has started under Lafleur in Jordan’s first 3 years with Lafleur.

This all tells you that the problem is Jordan Love, not Lafleur.

And that tells you that THE CORE PROBLEM IS GUTEKUNST.

You cannot survive as a Super Bowl contender in today’s NFL with a quarterback that has an ABYSMAL 38.3% winning percentage when you pass more than you run, as today’s NFL is a passing league!!

Unfortunately due to "Gutey" and his BONE HEADED choice of Love and destruction of the Packers Super Bowl bound teams, after 8 years of Gutey we have nothing.

Prove me wrong tonight Jordan!!

Go Pack Go!

Bears win toss, choose to receive so Packers will get second half kick off. Just the way they like it.

Bears with 3 TEs

Good start. Good stop by Gary.

Good stop and coverage Quay

Trips left and two defenders?

Needed to get off on that third and long

Caleb Williams looking good.

Kmet attempting an option pass?

Enagbare!

You go Kingsley!!

Packers have the Bears way behind the sticks...get off the field!

Van Ness has been in a couple of tackles already,

Gary with a sack!!!

JK:)

We have a Van Ness sighting!!

Valentine tries a matador tackle on 3rd and I. Pitiful!

Caleb is looking very composed - making good decisions.

Packers have rushed five a couple of times already. Hafley making an adjustment?

Good coverage - that is a good start.

Defense has to get off the field!

Thankfully a third down stop. Happy for bend but don't break this time.

Diggs not strong tackler

Where's Randall Cobb when you need him?

Like the play call by Lafleur.

No one was expecting that by Reed.

Turnover worthy pass into double coverage by Jordan.

Hey!
Musgrave catches the ball
Pivots.
Runs
Doesn't fall down

Call by Lafleur - sideline to Musgrave another good call.

Packers are moving the ball. Jacobs looks much better.

Beautiful throw by Love to Doubs.

Running outside, not at Dexter and Billings in the middle

Doubs in single coverage - good separation - good throw by Jordan.

Watson is probably drawing double coverage.

Yes! Great looking drive.

Like the call by Lafleur - thought the blocking was there for Reed.

Nice, nice drive! Offensively our guys look healed and ready to rock.

That's a good answer....f DUH bears.

Sweet answering drive!! Nice mix runs, short passes

Another great call by Lafleur with Watson in motion - making it easy for Jordan.

And making it easy for Jordan is critical.

Can't underestimate the value of that McManus extra point.

Jacobs looks like he has live legs on his 3 carries.

Packer run D is looking better.

Bears too aggressive.

Too early for the Bears to take that chance on 4th and 2. I will be surprised if they go for it - probably just trying to get the Packers offside.

Quay is pivotal so far

Long long long commercial. Prime time prices.

Defense winning the LOS for the most part

Williams finding open receivers all day

HOLY CRAP! 58 with a big hold on that run to the outside and no call
Spun the DE around

Well it paid off - Packers blitzed 1.

Bears going--look for the crosser

COOP!!

Cooper nice stop.

Geez, Valentine...knock that down!
For once he catches one...good on him, but knock it down and get 20 yards!

What the hell was Caleb thinking...lol

Why intercept that ball - it cost them 30 yards.

What was Caleb doing there?

They better show that again - somebody run the wrong route?

I've read some horrible things about CV lately, but he DID manage to hang onto that! Our first int in how long?!?

Valentine should have let it drop.

Valentine dumb intercept there.

Good point by Cory - 4th down - Valentine should have dropped it.

Geez, Morgan really moved his guy out. O-line looking good so far.

Run Run Run and then only easy stuff for Jordan.

Walker just gets beat.

Damn, look at Jacobs hammer through and twist...run game is really kicking some ass.

Booker

I hope Caleb's Mom's around after the game if they lose, so he can cry on her shoulder.....again.

Jordan no mobility in the pocket - no awareness.

I think that is a forward pass - fortunately.

Hate to see that. Yes he is a Bear, but also a Badger many years ago.

A Golden sighting!

A Golden sighting!
Get his pic off the milk carton!

First receiver who did not look for the sideline. Nice catch by Golden

OMG, they actually used Golden on a pass play!

That spontaneous move was all Golden's doing.

Wicks is out so Golden getting his chance.

I'm just gonna say it....It's lookin like the Packers are going to handle this thing easily.

I thought the Packers pass rush is bad, the bears are worse.

Jordan another Gumby clumsy scramble.

Settle down boys, settle down…work the plan..

damn booker lowered his head again on LOVE

Cheap shot throwing Doubs down after the oob play.
Dennis Allen defense
No flag

Doubs in man to man and good move - conservative easy outside sideline throw to Doubs.

Lafleur making all the right calls.

Nice play call and execution.

Caleb looks like he's about to cry.

Really nice pass to Reed!
Two score lead is huge!

There's always next year Yogi, thanks for hosting.

Watson draws away 2 defenders and leaves Reed wide open - another nice easy wide open throw for Jordan.

Lafleur GREAT PLAY CALL.

Yeah baby.. keep it rollin

Love is on fire! So far, MLF's pep talk about scoring TDs in the red zone seems to have worked.

Big to Reed. A mismatch. Two runs where Jacobs had to try a jump cut because there was no hole. I suspect Chicago will go to more zone because the Packers are eating man coverage up. I think I like 5 wide against Chicago.

All red zone TDs, no FGs. Yes!

Someone remind Sorrell to keep outside contain to Caleb'/s right.

That could've been a huge break on a fumble recovery.

"Expedited review"

Nice play McKinney

Michaels and Herbstreit ----way too much meaningless, distracting jabbering

No jump on this 4th down.

Looks ,like a catch ad fumble. Refs disagree

Badgers mojo rubbing off on the Pack!

4th and 4?

Really?

Wow...the flame out might be underway

Make them pay. Points at least. More would be big.
