Any mention of Brian Urlacher among Packer fans is bound to elicit claims that he is overrated, but the fact is that the guy has done nothing but make big plays against the Packers ever since coming into the league. I share Aaron's respect for him.

I'm thinking Brian Urlacher is a better leader than player. I think he's a really good player, just not as "elite" as some want to haphazardly label him.

Briggs > Urlacher IMO

Green Bay: Home of the Green & Gold. And the hunter orange. And the camouflage.

My analysis of Urlacher is he's a brain. He makes the other players play better around him. He reminds me of a lesser version of da Bears' LB from the 60s (my brain is shot, forgive me for forgetting his name).

Watch Urlacher play. He'll move to where the ball will go right after the ball is hiked. The man knows his film.

Also, Urlacher and Briggs have outstanding chemistry together. I really hate hearing when Briggs is unhappy and wants a trade. Hate hearing that. I've always said I want to see the NFC North as the toughest division because the NFC Central was always "the division where the team with the winning record wins the division." I still have football insecurities about that. We were the laughingstock of the NFL for two decades.

If you split the two of them up, you're gonna see a huge decline in da Bears' D.

The other thing is I want to earn division titles, not just get them because the other teams sucked. I'd much rather see us 13-3 and the next team at 12-4 than us at 13-3 and the next team at 7-9. The latter looks like you got the 13-3 because your division rivals were weak and you didn't really earn it.

OK, my brain returned. Dick Butkis. Geez. What the hell is wrong with my memory? I'm too young for Alzheimer's. Yes, Butkis knew where the ball would go immediately after the snap. Urlacher does too. He just doesn't have the dominating physical skill set Butkis had.

Do you think Aaron really means it or is he "sweet talking the Bears?

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

I've seen him play and said it many times, he plays great against the Packers, but I don't see the same play maker against other teams. I'm not saying he's garbage, just saying he's not top 5 like I hear him proclaimed to be. Definitely a helluva talent, but I think his leadership is his biggest asset to a team and feel he's a great leader.

Rodgers is a class act and in my opinion has always put the rivalry on the back burner. He means everything he says about Urlacher and I think a lot of what he said here echos what he said about Urlacher last year. Rodgers giving Urlacher his best isn't going to make Urlacher pull up on a hit if he is granted that chance so sweet talking means nothing here.

Mucky Tundra (2h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (2h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (3h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

bboystyle (12h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (16h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!
