Oh ya, it's a Packers subject.

Mathematically, we would want the Vikings to win.

...But then you have to factor in the impact on the Vikings organization with yet another loss. I bet it wouldn't be good.

Kind of a "Ding dong, the witch is dead, yada, yada yada" thing. A lot to be said for having the Bears effectively kill them off, plus the added entertainment value in witnessing more of the meltdown.

Contrasted with rejuvenating (significantly?) the Vikings heading into our game against them in their house if they win.

The big problem with a Bears win is we would then be in 2nd place in the division, and the psychological boost to the Bears cannot be ignored, either.

Thing is, Bears have a pretty tough schedule leading up to our next game with them.

Plus you have the additional variable in that they still suck, record be damned-

...But then again, how neat would it be for us to be instrumental in getting Chilly fired?

This decision could give Packer fans a headache.

Who should we want to win? I gotta go Bears, for right now, anyway.

I was thinking about this today. And my answer: it's a win-win either way.

For me it is simple. Who would be an easier team for the Packers to beat? IMO, it is a no contest. The Bears are not even close to the Vikings in talent or big play capability on any day. Go Bears. Put away the Queens for this season.

The Bears.

Look at the schedule for these two teams.

Chicago

@Miami
Philadelphia
@Detroit
New England
@Minnesota
New York Jets
@Green Bay

Minnesota

@Chicago
Green Bay
@Washington
Buffalo
New York Giants
Chicago
@Philadelphia
@Detroit

Chicago has a pretty brutal schedule from here on out. They won't win a whole lot of games down the stretch.

Minnesota doesn't have the easiest schedule, either, but if they play like they did yesterday, they should be able to rack up some wins and make a push.

If they're coming from a 3-6 position, I'm not that worried. 4-5 is getting awfully close to a winning record, going into the last half of the season, though.

I say the Queens, only to put some distance between us and da Bears. Da Bears beat us, and we beat the Queens. So we are up on the Queens and still behind the Bears.
Too bad they can't tie. Wouldn't that be sweet?

Mathematically yes we want the Vikings to win...

But the Vikings seem to have momentum and excitement coming from behind like that and getting a win... while the Bears barely won against maybe the worst team in the NFL and don't have the momentum.

I think I'd like the Vikings momentum to be killed... because after the Bears game the Vikings host the Packers, and I'd enjoy them to really be excited to play like the Cowboys weren't.

And the Bears might have the hardest Schedule left of any NFCN team with

10 Vikings
11 Dolphins
12 Eagles
13 Lions
14 Patriots
15 Vikings
16 Jets
17 Packers

I'd want the Bears to win because they have a more difficult schedule down the road and a win right now means less than it would for the Vikings. Vikings notch a win this week, they have momentum going into next week AND an easier schedule than the Bears.

BEAR DOWN this week.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th
Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though
TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes
Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
