Did anyone else get flashbacks to what is was like to pull for the Pack in the 70's and 80's? I almost felt like putting on the helmet and crashing with the neighbors (we used to blow off steam at halftime growing up). I need a detox/cleansing after yesterday's debacle.

12-3 with a first round bye and you are having flashbacks to the 70's & 80's?
Not me. Not even a little. This has been a fantastic season to watch.
This is just a pothole on our journey. I just hope it didn't give us a flat tire!

Look at it this way, after being humiliated by the BOBs on October 7th, the Pack went on to win the next 7 straight.

For my youth I'd have to go back a few more years - to the Lombardi era. There were some windy, muddy & snowy games then too. The most famous of which was the Ice Bowl. Can't say I had the same feeling about it though.

Regardless of the loss, it was cool to see a real old school football game again in the snow and cold. Dump the domes dammit!

I like MM but he should used his head a little more yesterday.

Should of went to a lot more smash mouth football and 4 yd carries with 1 receiver set(Especially when we went up 7-6 and his defense was gassed), his adjustments yesterday according to conditions were abysmal ... hopefully he learned a little something yesterday.

At least it wasn't the 61-7 clunker. Reminded me of last year's 31-0 beating at Lambeau though.

yeah, what's up with that game....McGinn in his article today said something that the Bears cheated in that game by stealing signs?

I wasn't around much to watch them that season, but can anyone elaborate on what McGinn meant?

Zeke Bratkowski used to use hand signals to get plays to Dickey, and the Bears cracked the code. The story was that it was with the help of Bill Tobin, the current Colts GM who was an executive with the Bears at the time.

From a Cliff Christl article on "the Gory Years":

quote:
Two years later, Bill Tobin, the Bears' vice president of player personnel at the time, revealed that he had been instructed by general manager Jim Finks during the off-season to study film and decode the Packers' signal system for relaying plays to the quarterback. Tobin, who had been in the Packers' front office during the Devine years, had been fired by Starr in 1975 as part of a wholesale housecleaning. "I went at it like a tiger does good meat," Tobin said at the time.


Either way, apathetic Packers + fired-up Bears + Bears blitzing and leaving in starters the whole game + stolen signals = 61-7.

Wow, you're kidding I hope.

Gosh darn it, why didn't McCarthy run the old "4 yards per carry play" ??
