Just reading the headline it makes sense tho, he is on the roster for what 50+ million guaranteed over the next few years? Hasn't played a full season of games since joining the Bears and has no playoff experience, Luck has more at this point.

Well to be fair, the Pack is not in a much better situation. ARodge sponges up a lot of cap space, as does Mathews. Both are somewhat injury prone (Rodgers less since going pro) and out shitty GM and HC have not been good about keeping capable backups around for them. Our O-Line and D have blown for years, due to a mix of Thomson trying to get Favre to leave and his general allergy to veteran players. Our only saving grace has been that Rodgers is probably the most accurate passer in the NFL and among the best audible callers, so he has covered up a multitude of coaching ineptitude and incompetence for us. Cutler is not good enough to do that. But we are likely (like under Favre) squandering a ludicrously good QB with our complacency and mediocre coaching. We are going to win the NFC North for the next decade, but I seriously doubt we will luck our way back into the SB in that span.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

All it takes is a Bears defense that is not dead last and you'll be fighting with Vikes and Lions for a wildcard slot for the next half a decade, if not a decade.

Even if the Bears defense goes from 30th to 20th, that will be good enough to keep you guys under .500 for a few seasons. Fucking Bears allowed 400 yds/game in 2013 season. And its much easier to fix that defense than to fix your entire team and all your shitty coaching.

Err, you do realize that the Bears and the Packers only play two times a year in the regular season, right? That even if the Bears scored 1,000 points per game, that the Packers still play 14 other games? I've stopped assuming any competence when it comes to your statements, so I am legitimately asking here.

Unless your statement is that the Packers are essentially a 6-8 team without the Bears games, to which I remind you the Packers won 8.5 gameswithout Rodgers for half the year. They were 6-2 in games Rodgers completed! Are you really implying that the Bears will knock Rodgers out for the season every year?

Look, the Packers have some real issues, as Phazael mentioned. Their OL is too consistently injured to be anything more than patchwork, and every player on defense is either injured or mediocre. Not to mention McCarthy would have probably been booted down to some college OC by now if he didn't have Favre and Rodgers land in his lap. But if you really think the Bears are a move away (and just what move is that, I ask) from turning into the dominant team of the NFC, you are (yet again) suffering from homerism of the first order.

I lived in Fresno when he was in college. His girlfriend (now wife) was a coach for a swim team I was on. He would come out and throw a ball around with us kids. Sign autographs. That sort of thing. Since then he and my dad have remained in contact and golf together every once in a while. I wouldn't call the Dilfers family friends or anything but it was enough of a reason for me to follow his career.

That's cool, I can understand that. I've met a few Chiefs guys, and it's way easier to like (usually) someone you've met/know in person.

I got to meet Buck Buchanon back in '91-92 somewhere at a grocery store in Springfield, Mo. He was there to sign autographs, but no one knew who he was. He was just sitting there in a metal folding chair, looking old and small. I had brought a couple cards for him to sign, so I sat down, and we talked for about 15-20 minutes. Pretty neat being able to meet a Hall of Famer and Chiefs legend.

Not really totally related, I know, but I like telling that story.

So forecast for Seattle Saturday has 100% chance of rain (enough rainfall to cause flood watches in some areas) and gusty wind, 25-50mph depending on where you get the forecast. I would think the elements will throw the Saints off their game way more than they will Seattle.

If the saints can do what they did to the eagles, gain 200 rushing yards while containing to sub 100 rushing yards, they have a good chance. Unfortunately, I don't see the saints o-line doing what they did to the eagles to the seahawks. Still, seems like a lot of people are looking past the saints and that would be a big mistake. They did play in a downpour in carolina and were still able to move the ball though, not really worried about the weather, more worried about the seachickens.
