I'm a relative youngster on the forum (turned 36 this year, though my students think I'm a dinosaur...). I'm in southeastern Indiana and part of the greater Cincinnati area. Colts, Bengals and Bears have always been what my families have supported. Colts were always my #1 team, even at a super young age when they were terrible lol...

 

Ironically enough, being a follower of Chicago at a young age introduced me to Brett Favre. Loved his gunslinger mentality as a QB. Ever since then I usually am pro Green Bay unless they play one of my other teams. 

 

Since I'm not a diehard Chicago fan, I found the Aaron Rodgers "I OWN YOU" game as hilarious. My Chicago family members weren't as amused hahaha... Stuff like that makes football fun. 

Yeah, Packers Bears is the best rivalry in sports, but it really has not been a real rivalry for over 30 years. The Packers do own the Bears.

 

And I don't know what happened to my post that was directed at someone else, but yes we shall see how 2024 turns out. The last 3 were handed to the Colts.😏

Bears with Williams should help make it interesting at least. I'm not a big believer in Eberflus, but who knows. It'd be great to have the rivalry back.

We will see how Caleb performs against real  defenses that game planned for him. I have no opinion at all about any rookie QB until I see him on the grass in an actual NFL game.

Quite valid. It's anyone's guess at the moment.

It will say that Jordan Love, Jared Goff, and possibly Caleb are clearly the top 3 QBs in the North this season.

 

The NFC North is one of the best divisions in football. The Packers, Lions, and Bears will proudly be proving that for years to come.

Congratulations packers, btw... Their backups totally annihilated Broncos starters as it was advertised here lmao

 

The over-dramatic trailers seen here before the game made it seem like packers are the second coming of Genghis Khan. Thankfully, this World will continue to live....

 

Don't bait/provoke the Packers fan.

 

It won't be pretty when the Packers starters annihilate our Vikings.

I was looking forward to seeing JJ play. I know you said you feel Sam would have started even before JJ's injury, but I am not so sure. Unfortunately none of us got to find out.

I agree. You’ll find over time that I often root for franchises that have never won the big one before, especially if the Colts are out of contention. I like parity and seeing fan bases come together. 
 

I’d be happy to see a Bengals vs. Lions Super Bowl because one suffering fan base would finally taste the glory lol…

Well, that was fun, reasoning for it totally unfounded, but still fun.

 

The Packers destroyed the Ravens in a joint practice in Green Bay on Thursday. 

 

Probable that neither team plays any starters on Saturday. Lamar Jackson already said he isn't playing, and Matt LaFleur is close to saying the same about J-Love.

That'd be the first ever Super Bowl to end with No Result,No Winner :funny: at least both of them could avoid Loser tag in that case, if that's a solace :hissy:

I would love to watch that; I was hoping for a Pacers/Timberwolves NBA Finals. Screw the ratings I say.

I mostly feel the same but I don't mind well run and "classy" teams winning again.  I'd rather see Buffalo vs the Lions.

    • They all were done AFTER the Patriots had established their Franchise QB….
    • I was going to say that they're all offensive players.  But Talib was a cornerback.   OK, I give.  What do they all have in common?
    • He was the whipping boy after 2022 where none of the line played well. I believe most of the complaints then were that we needed to bring someone in to compete with him. Nothing wrong with not wanting to hand out the starting RG spot.   For every success like Fries you also have your Sam Tevi's, Matt Pryors, LeRaven Clarks, Ben Banagou's, and more. Sometimes it just dosnt work out, and that's OK. People are going to talk about it, and that's OK. There's times we arnt correct about it, and that's OK. Nobody is hurt by the statements. Stick and stones may break our bones, but words will never hurt us.
    • I think CB was a bit overshadowed by the lack of a proven FS (after Thomas had a down year and Cross is still unproven). And Ballard also mentioned FS early in the offseason, so the local media latched onto that position all offseason.   But there were certainly people who were talking about addressing the CB room. There was a large contingent of fans who wanted CB at #15 in the draft, as one example.   And it made sense. The boundary CBs on the roster were Brents (injured half of his rookie year after missing a lot of camp), Jones (a R7 pick who had an up and down rookie season), Flowers (who tore his Achilles) and Baker (who was not good).    I don't think the story has shifted...it's just that it died down a bit until the season started and we had some data. It took one week and the lack of a contingency plan might be backfiring.    
    • I thought the same thing.  I was pretty shocked he said it actually.
