I swear, for a team that's been mediocre (and that's being generous) over the past decade, normally sneaking into the playoffs because of freak accidents in the division (like Rodgers injuries), they seem to get a fair amount of primetime games every year. Are they still riding on that 85 Bears magic or something? Do they pull in good ratings because of their name? I don't get it. I watched the first couple of drives to see how the game would fare out, and when it went largely as predicted, I muted the TV and just kept it on in the background while I did other things. And 99% of Bears/Packers primetime games involve 45-10 Packers blowouts. I have ragged on the Cowboys getting a ton of primetime games when they've only won two or three playoff games in the last 25 years, but they normally have a decent team and you are always pulling for them to lose. The Bears have neither of those characteristics. Speaking of primetime, the Bills will be on a TV near you for the next month (Monday Night @ 49ers, Sunday Night vs. Steelers, Saturday Night @ Broncos, Monday Night @ Patriots, and it's always possible the Week 17 game vs. the Dolphins could be flexed into a national audience if the division/playoff spot comes down to that game). -
I think rivers has been okay for us but as expected nothing special. It's a tough decision to make for next season, and next season we face the whole NFC West and AFC East with Lawrence likely going to Jets and Fields likely going to Jags making the 'easy matchups' look a bit tougher. Either we go all or nothing with Eason or keep Rivers and probably be mediocre with a punchers chance of victory every time we play. -
That truly was a terrible angle Willis took. Could've been held to just a bad 20 yard play on that one. -

Where did I say that? But, as long as Ballard and Dodd have their team in place, I feel good about our chances to be highly competitive. The only problems we’ve had have been when we’ve been without Andrew Luck, in 17 and 19. When we’ve had Luck or Rivers we are a very competitive team. Just look at some of the recent Super Bowl participants. Only KC is really doing well. The Pats are struggling. So are the Rams and the Eagles. Seattle has been hot and cold. Same with SF. My point is... this game is really hard. Staying at the top is hard. Being elite year after year is hard. But not only do you casually dismiss achievement, but you write off players as busts who have been mostly injured or haven’t been with the team long enough to know. You’re jumping to conclusions, and there’s a good chance some of those conclusions could be wrong. So yes, I like our future. I like our GM and the front office he has. I like his drafting and I mostly like his free agents. As a fan, I’ll take our chances here.... I’m not predicting a Super Bowl, but I think we will have a good team moving forward.
