1. It'll Be Tough, But

Go Pack Go! I went to the game in Lambeau a couple of weeks ago. I took my cousin, who is from our neighborhood & has lived in Chicago for a long time. She is a Packer fan & has never been to a game. It was a wonderful memory for us both & what a game! I don't know if history will repeat itself, but here's hoping!

2. Who is supposed to win? What is the over/under?

One of my cousins is a diehard Packer fan.
He made me promise to watch this game and I rarely watch pro ball.
But I guess I will give it a go.

He told me the Bears are moving to Indiana to get rich with some sort of scheme.

4. My middle son is a die hard Packers fan, too.

32. As a lifelong Pats fan....it is time for Chicago to get some love.

Green Bay has had their share.

7. Ah, Go Pack Go!!!!

and I agree with 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

[snowybirdie]

20. I agree

Were long suffering

5. For context, the Bears 10-4 are half a game ahead of the Packers 9-4-1, with two games

remaining after this contest. Whoever wins will be in the division lead and probably stay there and become the #2 seed in the NFC. Whoever loses will probably be the #6 or #7 seed wildcard.

Bears will then face the 49ers and Lions, the harder remaining schedule.

Packers will then face the Ravens and Vikings, the easier remaining schedule.

This game is a big deal, playoffs-wise.

9. I DVR the game and if the Packers win, I'll watch tomorrow if they lose, I just trash the DVR copy.

I do “watch” on my iPad, down by down. Just soooooooooooo nervous to watch live. 🫣. Go Pack Go. 🥰 💚 💛

[Irish_Dem]

10. How do you end up half a game ahead?

I see why my cousins wants me to watch the game.

[RockRaven]

11. The Packers had a game end in a tie earlier in the year.

Since they all play the same number of games in a full season, having one game count as neither a win nor a loss makes the "same record, ahead, behind" accounting a little wonky.

[Irish_Dem]

12. Oh I see thanks.

I only watch college ball and I think the Tie situation is a bit different there.

[mountain grammy]

16. I watched that tied game hoping for the Packers to beat the Cowboys

Very frustrating with each only managing a field goal in OT.
Packers came back big in the 4th, but Dallas hung on.
I was happily surprised when Denver won that game last week.

6. Clear and above freezing the entire game in Chicago

Bummer, I’m still waiting for a snow game

[Irish_Dem]

13. Packers don't mind the cold?

[Brother Buzz]

15. Those wussies are used to their heated field in Green Bay

[mountain grammy]

17. Ha .. remember the 1967 Ice Bowl?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_NFL_Championship_Game

I remember watching that game.. geeeeeeze I'm old.

[Brother Buzz]

18. Vince Lombardi, Baby!

Decades ago, I became an old fart when I discovered there were no NFL players older than me.

[mountain grammy]

19. haha.. I can't even remember when that happened

I had a wicked crush on Joe Namath and bet $100 (which I didn't have) on the Jets in SB 3..
Luckily I lived to tell about it..

8. A big game with the NFC North division crown at stake.

Add to that the fact that this is the NFL’s oldest rivalry. This game would carry a lot of meaning with Bears and Packers fans even if their teams had losing records and were out of the playoff hunt.

Even though I’m a Ravens fan, I’ll be following this game with interest as I am starting Packer WR Jayden Reed in my fantasy league playoffs this week. Packer QB Jordan Love has been playing quite well in recent weeks so I hope he can provide Reed plenty of opportunities to light up the stat sheet!

I hope it’s an exciting matchup and may the best team win!

[Irish_Dem]

14. Looks like a close game with Bears a slight favorite?

[Morbius]

21. Loss of Micah Parsons looms large for the Pack.

The Bears are without Rome Odunze and Luther Burden II, but they have decent depth at WR. Parsons is irreplaceable but they still have a solid defense. Packers are a 2 point favorite. The whole question is which Caleb Williams will play.

We'll see.

[milestogo]

22. Fuck the Bears and their dirty unsportsmanlike player.

The deliberate helmet hit on Jordan Love should get him thrown out of the game.

[Morbius]

23. In the 4th quarter...

The Packers have flat out outplayed the Bears, leading 13-3. Foolish attempt at a cute play in the first quarter backfired on them. No way Booker deliberately hit him with his helmet, I think, but if he did punishment is in order.

[Morbius]

24. Tie game; 16-16 with 24 seconds on the clock.

Caleb Williams is sometimes off but when he is on, he is amazing.

[OAITW r.2.0]

25. Whatta game. Go Bears!

[yourout]

26. And the Packers special teams unit gags the game away.

[yourout]

31. Another epic Packer gag job

[chicoescuela]

34. Poor Romeo Doubs. Not a Packer fan but he had a great career here at

University of Nevada

[True Dough]

27. Malik Wilis has looked all right out there

That's a high-pressure situation he stepped into. Respect!

[milestogo]

28. He's a real talent.

I just hope the Bears don't break him too. This is a rough game.

[Morbius]

29. DJ Moore with the touchdown!

Bears win! Bears win! Bears win!

[True Dough]

30. The Comeback Kids

do it again!

[Martin Eden]

33. Did the Packers punt even once in that game?

Yet somehow my Bears pulled out another incredible victory after being outplayed for more tham 3-1/2 quarters!

[Morbius]

35. I really thought they were going to lose.

1. I've been a Bears fan a long damn time, and I am accustomed to being disappointed. After a while you begin to expect to be disappointed.

2. Packers defense was stellar for 55 minutes. They lost not just Micah Parsons but excellent safety Evan Williams, and they still were dominant.

3. Down by ten in the fourth and forced to settle for a field goal? Usually a recipe for losing. Then they took really too long to kick the field goal that they had to try an onside kick.

4. Onside kicks are almost always unsuccessful.

But they pulled off another miracle.

[Sogo]

36. WOW. What a finish!!

Da Bears....

[Morbius]

37. I just thought of another thing about this game: the NFL needs to make a rule change.

On a cold and windy night at Soldier Field in Chicago, the heaters on the visitor sidelines stopped working while the ones on the home team's side were visibly working fine.

By rule, when some form of communication breaks down for one team, the other team has to do without until it is fixed. Usually, this means helmets, but not so long ago it meant headsets (and it still could). But there is apparently no rule when it comes to heaters.

This was in the second quarter. The folks at Fox who carried the game did not mention it later, so I believe it was a temporary problem. But still, if one team has heat and the other team does not, even for a short while, it's an advantage, and it isn't fair. The NFL needs to implement a rule stating that if the heaters on one side of the field stop working, the ones on the opposite side should be turned off until the problem is remedied for both teams.

[milestogo]

38. It was probably deliberate.

The Chicago Bears are a dirty team.
