Alright, I'll stop arguing. Porky you do know more about the Packers because you are a Packers fan. Now, it is hard to watch Packer games when they are not on TV all the time but I do read about them so I do know the team. Pack Attack, the 0.2 is the difference of the Bears on the Packers of the average yards given up per rushing play; not the amount. I diden't know you Packer fans [so many on this site] are so sensitive about people talking bad about your team when I can say: Seahawks Suck Seahawks Suck Seahawks Suck Seahawks Suck Now fuck this arguement and lets talk about "Breaking News for Sunday's Game". I don't know why you brought up the Bears. P.S I still think the Bears have the better rush defence okay thats based on my opinion. Deal with it.

Of course that's why the Bears rank in the top 3 and the Packers rank in the top 5. What does that prove? Well first off I think you need to read some rules. Swearing doesn't make you look any good. Second off it proved that you were basing the Packers defense of their reputation. Last season they were bad and that's how you see it. 2004 and 2005 are different years. Because the Bears are in first people are talking about how good the Bears D is. The Packers are in last so the improvement of the Packers D is forgotten. I new you would take the bait like a little kid trying pick up a dollar that is taped to an end of a string. To be honest the Packers offense is the weak link of the team this season. The Defense is are strong point. I do as well. I think the Bears have the best defense in football. You still never explained your logic. How does a .2 difference in yards given up per play make the Bears defense great and the Packers defense bad. It makes no sense but your not going to answer it are you.
This game is all about Charlie Batch. The Packers aren't bad. They've only lost 1 game by more than a TD. And only 2 games by more than 4 points. They are better than their record. But the Steelers are superior from top to bottom (Except Favre). The saving grace for Green Bay is Batch on the road. If he is expected to do too much, the Packers could pull the upset.

I don't think Green Bay will play as good as they did against the Saints. Everything went our way that day. It could be a close game. Pitt is the better team but Green Bay like you said is better than their record shows.
This has "Packers Nightmare" written all over it. Just like that bulls*** 56 yard field goal from Paul Edinger (ex-Bear), I predict last second heroics from Charlie Batch (ex-Lion). Every time it comes down to an ex NFC North/Central player to win the game against the Pack, they seem to pull it off. It's lame.
I didn't think about the NFC North "factor". That's funny in a lame way. I've read some online predictions calling it a "blowout", but I don't think so. Cowher plays not to lose, so it will be close. Anyone see a line on this game?

Everyone knows the Bears D is good. If you would read or re read the thread you would of known that. Again Hawk: thats what I meant by our really younger members.... in the other thread. Here'e an example.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GoChiagobears)</div><div class='quotemain'>and the pack is third in the run and like 14th in total D but thats only in nfc</div> Packers are 8th in the NFL in Total D and 15th in the NFL in Total D. http://www.nfl.com/stats/teamsort/NFC/DEF-TOTAL/2005/regular There good against the run but sketchy against the pass.
