Week 12 Bears need to ...

I almost wish I didn't have my brand new shiny fire stick because Week 12 Bears versus the Packers at home is a terrifying thought.

What needs to happen to give the Bears a fighting chance?

 

Aaron Rodgers needs to miss the game.

 

This has nothing to do with this thread but I have to post it for @EvertonBears

 

Nothing. If Akeim Hicks can't play, I cant rationalize how the packers wouldn't hang 40+ on this sad fucking team. And if the rumors/stories that Trestman/Emery got shitcanned because of how the Packers embarrassed them years ago are true--good. Virginia watching an ass beating by Erin leading to Nagy fired would be great. In prime time too no less...

The packers' defense, like the Vikes' defense is not good. The Packers' defense is 26th in yards allowed in the league, 23rd ranked pass defense, 19th in run defense, 28th in points scored against, and 29th in points allowed per game. Mike Pettine is probably getting fired at the end of this year. I'm not joking when I say if Denver fires Vic Fangio he needs to be the target for DC and Chuckles' contract is conveniently up at the same time. Because guess who Green Bay is going to call this offseason to run their defense...

I'll give the bears maybe 1 quarter of my time tops. We'll know right away when bears win the toss, defer, then Erin marches down the field on opening drive and scores. If Hicks plays, I see 28/31 to 6 packers, garbage time FGs. If Hicks is out, 45-6 with two tremendous garbage time FGs.

 

Which has been proven to mean nothing when it comes to this Bears offense.

 

So pessimistic. 45-20 bears. TWO garbage time TDs after score 2 FGs in the first half (after getting to the red zone, naturally).

I'm also not going to watch this game live. I'll follow the score on my app between other things.

 

I'm going to watch it. It's probably going to wreck my entire night and my sleep I'm sure but I want to watch it. I've never seen the Bears play the Packers before.

 

We've reached the point where it's not if the Bears are gonna lose....it's by how much.

 

I'd rather lose 45-6 than 45-20 and have Nagy and the offense get the garbage TDs. I think the McCaskey's are more about optics than anything, which is why optically the scoreboard needs to be extremely lopsided in the Packers favor if we're going to have a chance at cleaning house.

The worst possible outcome, but not entirely unlikely, is a close loss where everyone in the organization can feel good about themselves for staying competitive and improving.

 

Chatter around the league is saying that Pace is safe.

 

If we lose out, and are raped twice by the Packers, I think there's a good chance Pace is gone.

 

I think VV is optimistic to get 2 garbage time TDs. A punt return and a pick 6? With Ejax now out/on the Covid list?

Also losing to the Lions, getting shut out by the Vikes again, and carved up by DeSean Watson (the other guy they passed on) helps.

The Jacksonville game I can honestly see ending 3-0. Coin toss.

Heard it too. But it was out of Hub Arkush's mouth.

Hub also said Phil Emery was safe and Trestman would get fired. Grain of salt.

 

Then "the league" wants to see me become an arsonist.

 

Hey fuck you....I would never repeat something because that dickbag said it. Give me some more credit.

 

LOL fair. NBCSN first reported it. I live in the city and the sports radio I prefer (CBS/AM670) just so happens to have him on constantly. He's where I heard it from first before changing the station.

Guy's a moron.

 

They've done it before this year, and it's not really optimism, it's exactly what Blang says. This way, even though everyone watching the game knows they are getting their teeth kicked in, Pace/Nagy/George can say the score is close and they put up points, etc. This is the shitshow we've all seen before, and until they do otherwise I will expect it.

This game is going to be rough, especially against our "rivals" in Prime Time with Collinsworth gagging on Rodgers dick all game. I've never wanted to watch a game less. Hicks and E Jax likely out on Defense tips the scales on this being a lopsided Packers victory, vs. a drawn out close game ala the Saints game. Packers are 8.5 point favorites, which is frankly very fair.

 

Okay so I had an idea this morning! After some confusion when I thought that the Bears were playing Thursday night, I offered this suggestion to Bww. What if we make a contest out of the game? Every time the Bears get more than 5 yards we have to take a shot. Every time the Bears actually throw a pass (and it's caught) we take a shot. Whaddya think?

 

The problem with this idea is that no one would be drunk until garbage time, so we'd have to endure a reaming for 2.5 hours before getting intoxicated.

 

Oh man ... now that's a bleak thought. Maybe I'll just do shots.

NO WAIT!!
You have to take a shot each time the Packers get yardage or complete a pass!! We'll be black out drunk before the 1st quarter is done.

 

Yeah this is probably what we should do instead.
