*Packers vs Bears NFC Title Game Thread*

Great run.

Briggs held his legs up. Good job Briggs. lol.

Can't WAIT to see what can of whupass Capers opens up on Cutler now, up by two TDs.

There are too many pockets (holes) for Aaron Rodgers to throw at in the Bears coverage. IMO they gotta start jamming and re-routing while dialing up more blitzes. Blitz the run game, that's what I'd do.

Well let's see if the bears can answer

Definitely need more blitzes. When the pack is in 4 wide I would send a CB from the boundary. One of the most effective blitzes against the spread

your right Alen, he's not being disciplined in his fundamentals

Nope, Pack looks good in all 3 phases so far.

The Packers OL is kicking ass up front. If the Bears don't step up, they are going to be in for a long game.

What makes me ill is that, if the Packers win this game, they’ll likely be the favorite in the Super Bowl. Conventional wisdom kills.

I can recall Alen and myself discussing Starks, I thought he would go undrafted, but could play, Alen thought he would be drafted but could play.

disagree. i think the bears offense woke up last series. i expect a TD drive on the next series. some wide open receivers last drive

Bears have looked shaky so far. Looks like their defense woke up a bit though...still plenty of time left.

Tramon Williams has had some issues with the quickness and straight line speed of the Bears WR's today.

I like this drive by the Bears, they have used 3 minutes off of the clock it is 3rd and 7 at the two minute warning if they fail to convert they can kick the ball as deep as possible and use their ST advantage and then try to keep from going down 21-0 which would end this game imho.

Huge 3rd and 7 for them though, they at least need to force the pack to burn some timeouts via extending the drive.

Packers have 2 great corners, making life miserable for cutler..

Steelers will have to beat the Jets on the ground today because of the impact that Revis has on defensive scheme.

BTW Alen did DVD show anything at the Shrine Bowl?

And a general question, who would dolfans rather have, Sam Shields or Nolan Carroll?

So glad we canned Capers. Bum.

so its the packers using the DB blitzes. damn you chicago

Good article on Capers that I like. Kinda old but still good.

I saw only a little of him, as I kept looking at every player but the few times I saw him, he looked good out of his backpedal and good in coverage.

gotta say but I think Rodgers and Roethslisberger have surpassed Brady this year. Their escapability makes them more dangerous IMO, especially when facing playoff defenses. Still think Peyton is the best though

The packers receivers seem to be running routes at the perfect depth, JUST under the coverage. Jennings has had several 9 yard receptions with no one touching him since the bears are playing at ten yards.

wow. what a pick
