I have the feeling this is going to be one of those ugly Packers-Bears games where everything goes wrong for both teams and whoever can stabilize wins. I'm feeling good about our special teams, which I think will be the deciding factor.

Trevor Davis rips off a punt return TD, Rodgers throws for two TDs and a pick, running game doesn't do much of anything (and actually coughs up the ball twice, one lost). Packers eek out a victory on a last-second Crosby field goal for the second week in a row.

Davis has been close to breaking one a couple of times.

I hope Daniels can go. The Bears are going to try and beat us with those two running backs. If the D can keep that under control Pack wins.
Need another big game from Jones, Martinez, Burnett, etc, to help get those RB's on the ground. The offense needs every possession they can get with all the OT's beat up. This is not setting up to be a game where we win TOP....unless they play lights out against that run attack. Somehow Arod and the O will throw some points up but I don't look for a lot of points or anything coming easy. Not with a beat up Oline.

I too agree it will probably be an ugly game. I can't remember the last time a Bear's game wasn't. I can see a frustrating and rather flawed ball game, like usual against these guys, and just hope we end up with the W and get healthy over that next 10 days.

I think one thing that will help the Packers is that the Bears seem to rely on the RBs a lot, meaning the Packers can target that to a degree.

Bears best full time WR, Kendall Wright, has 10 catches for 103 yards.
While RB/WR Tarik Cohen has 20 catches for 126 yards.

So have a guy (my guess being Burnett, Jones,
Martinez) follow him around closely all game. Heck maybe even double team him, since he's sorta like Darren Sproles and he's getting 6.5 yards per rushing attempt. And of course there is the very physical big RB Jordan Howard.

I'm thinking having Burnett follow Tarik around everywhere, and having the others focus on a single WR or Howard.


The bigger problem might be getting the Packers offense going with the injured OL vs good defensive coaches.

We're set up to defend the pass. That's what "Nitro" is all about.

Plus Perry and Daniels are out. Dial and Clark are good run stuffers tho, Imo. Maybe we'll see more of Fackrell on the inside. He was around the ball.

I don't think you can count guys as out yet, except maybe House, as everyone else practiced. Bak, Bulaga and Daniels were limited though.

Nitro is also about speed, which might be very useful against RB/WR Tarik Cohen, who plays quick like Darren Sproles and might be their best weapon right now, as he might be their best receiver and not far behind their best RB.


If they're healthy enough, I think the ILBers might be better against a good running team that Fackrell, who I think is better in a stunt blitzing or spy role.

For the 1st time I can remember I am going against The Packers.
Seems they are more focused on pregame ceremonies than the game itself.

I hope I am wrong.
