Because I’m curious I assume most of the Talkbears group will be watching live and those that are in the Chicagoland area it’ll be about 7pm kickoff time with AZ area about 6(?) pm.  East coast (adam) about 8 pm?  Stinger (I assume) will be in Thailand (?) and watching at sometime tomorrow morning?   Here in the AK it’ll be 4 pm.

I'm in Alabama, so it's Central for me.

I'm NE of Indianapolis, EST.

Crazy how both Mongo and Adam are right on the line from CST to EST but Alabama seems like it should be EST and Indiana CST 🤷🏻‍♂️. Glad this game is on a Saturday for those that will be close to midnight when it’s over.

It's Indiana's fault.  We daylight savings to stay with New York.

6pm kickoff time in AZ.  

I thought it was 6:20pm here?

Technically yes.  I was talking in general terms.

Parents lived in Marion for a while (mom taught at Indiana Wesleyan) and it always threw me when I flew into Chicago to drive and visit them how they were on different time zones.  And it seemed like I drove pretty much straight south.

I hear ya.  Wife has me out running errands!  Things are getting tense! 😬   Thankfully my doc has me on a new BP med and horse pill sized vitamin D!   

Apparently Jacobs is going to play despite not practicing at all and being on crutches this week, but Burden and Odunze had to be ruled out 3 days before the game... That irks me.

The Bears have to punch the Packers in the mouth early. Make them feel the doubt of not having Micah Parsons out there. That's a tough loss to get over emotionally that quick. I just think they are ripe to be jumped on out of the gate. 

And of course, right out of the gate, the Bears commit a moronic penalty to set the Packers up at midfield. 

30 yards in penalties between the kickoff and defense to start the game, not ideal.

Huge stop by defense after GB was gifted 30 yards.

Why Ben? Why trickery when you were dominating them? Come on man. 

If the Bears lose, it's on Johnson for the bonehead call on 4th and 1.

If the Bears lose now, look at that drive as the blown opportunity. What an idiotic playcall. Caleb looked locked in on that drive and Ben Johnson fucks it up.

He looked about as good as he ever has on that drive.  I hope he can keep it up.  

I would bet he was going throw that.

My stomach won't leave my throat till this one is over.

It was a yard, stack a side and run that way. If you don't get it, they are pinned inside their 10. 

I'll take 3 points for two tries inside the 10 yard line. We will win this with offense.
