With snow likely and temps of -5 on Sunday, it's easy to imagine 20,000 no shows...unless Green Bay fans show up in droves.

Rogers will throw 50+ times in 0 degree weather. I expect these young CB to get torched. On the good side, the Bear pass rush is going to get to him.

Bears will lose this game by double digits

Packers fans are dumb. There will be MANY in attendance.

What was the real attendance figures for the last game we figured nobody would go to anyway?

I went to that as well, with three relatively young kids. They were very excited on the walk to the stadium with the snow falling. They wanted to leave soon after halftime with the snow still falling.

This time, I get the pleasure of attending with my wife. I will be interested to see whether she lasts longer than the kids.

I am the kind of person who doesn't leave until the final whistle but this is what you get with a 3 win team and freezing temperatures.

Great answer to not remotely the question that I asked.

I'll be in Los Angeles ... a city with absolutely no interest in NFL football. It will be glorious.

I don't need to be humble about it. I'll be laughing and bragging the entire week as you all deal with sub zero temperatures and snow.

LA really isn't much fun when the highs are in the 50's (as they are this coming weekend), sun is setting only like 15 minutes later than it is here too. I've spent some time in LA in December and its probably the worst month to be there.

The onset of winter in the midwest has a bit of a romantic charm to it. Its really when March/April roll around and you're just so fucking sick of the miserable rain/cold combination that you find yourself cursing """winter""". Its just a game of attrition, December and even January are pretty easy and actually enjoyable.

Nah you're wrong. This weather right now sucks balls. It's not romantic.

I'm not so sure about Rodgers throwing that much. Do we have numbers on him in cold weather games?

I also dont know if "Los Angeles" is just code for "flying into Ontario and staying the Best Western of Rancho Cucamonga." Need some clarification, people from this part of the county tend to include San Bernardino County as LA when it most definitely is not.

If it wasn't under 10 degrees you'd be right. I enjoy about 2-3 weeks of a pretty snowscape and temps in the 20s.

Back to the original post....does anyone care about this game? I can't think of a year when I have been less interested in Bears v Anyone.

I sorta care but not a lot

I wasn't as down on the Bears back then as I am now. I guess 30 years without a title will do that to you.

Y'all have a really good draft class to start things out. Let Pace try his hand at a few more drafts, get rid of Fox who has always been overrated, strike gold with a QB in the next draft and you guys are set. It's not super difficult to rebuild in the NFL, just gotta get lucky once or twice at the right time. Keep faith.

Yeah, sounds about right. Certainly the last game this year I'll give two hoots about.

December (and Jan and Feb) are the worst months to be anywhere in the U.S. But my job won't let me hibernate.
