Saturday Morning Preview - Packers @ Bears

Has to be the way to neutralize Olsen, he has to be one of the only LBs who are athletic enough to beat that kind of match-up which is similar to that of Brent Celek which worked for the most part.

One way or another, the Bears should find a way to get above the 20 point threshold. Their secondary is pretty poor, which should play right into the hands of Rodgers and the offense. I haven’t been impressed by Chicago thus far, and I don’t expect to have to correct myself Tuesday morning.

Pack win, 34-21

His receptions are predicated upon being able to free himself from being an extra blocker.

I am very annoyed with what I’m reading about Bulaga being musical-chaired at both LG and LT this week. First it’s “oh, Clifton’s done, he’s gonna’ be in there at tackle.” Then it’s “oh, wait, now Colledge isn’t for sure, we might put him there.” …or they might both be fine or they might both be out. I mean, for crying out loud, we’re talking about a guy making his first NFL start! Can we please let him know more than hour before game time what position he’ll be playing? Last time I checked, we still have Lang on roster. Let him back up Colledge!

The coaches are in too much of a rush to get Bulaga in the line-up. It’ll happen, guys, calm down! With their impatience, they’re doing everything they can to set him up for failure. Now, I think he’s probably good enough so that he’ll ultimately be okay. But, that said, if he does wind up succeeding, it will be despite the coaching staff and not because of them.

…not to mention that the rest of the lineman have got to be saying “wth? where do we fit in. Is this a team, or are we all supposed to wait for golden boy over here?” I mean, the kid’s a rookie. Let him fit in and learn!

im a bears fan for life
a football fan first
i agree with war wolf im glad its a possibility we can go back to the good ol days when this game was interesting because both teams were good
as far as the game if you guys get a chance to go back and see some of my posts im normally fairly close with scores and such
i think this will be a shootout
im thinking 31- 27 im not picking a winner though
i will say this not having a running game against the chicago bears has cost our first 2 opponents wins
last year dallas did extrmely well running the ball and heading into week two as a team they were averaging 4.8 yards a carry… against chicago 2.1
it will be interesting to see if our line can hold back that sick pass rush you guys have…
will also be interesting to see the db’s keep up with the speed we have on the field
your o-line is banged up and our defensive line hasnt generated tons of pressure, look for that to change this week.
the switch to martzfense people missed something big. the st lousi rams at one point had lovie smith as a coordinator and martz as a coach, now there roles are reversed but correct me if im wrong the numbers offensively and defensively look awfully similar… get where im going?
this isnt the chicago bears your playing

Aaron Rodgers is the best Qb in the Nfc behind drew brees and probably top 5 in the league. I also believe you guys have the best team in the nfc
hopefully we get some good hits this monday, a great game, and a renewed rivalry…i’ll fire up to an injury free entertaining game from both sides

I heard some dopes on ESPN saying that the Bears will win because they “like Jay Cutler.” So, yeah… that happened. I mean no disrespect to the Bears but after hearing that, I hope we eat him alive. Too bad Mike Neal is still injured because I haven’t really seen what he can do yet.

Our offense has still not played well for an entire game yet so I’m interested to see if they can turn it up a notch against the Bears’ D. I would love to make some predictions but anything can happen- especially in divisional games…

P.S. Any chance of there being an open thread for the Lions beat-down (hey, I can dream) of the Vikings tomorrow?

That’s right, you guys are one of the best teams in the NFL, and you earned that. But I think way to many people downplayed the Bears, our defense isn’t even clicking on all cylinders and I think we look pretty darn good, yeah you can look at the passing yards allowed and say we can’t defend the pass, we stop the run, and made the other teams one dimensional, so the passing yards are gonna be higher. Who did you guys beat, an Eagles team, that couldn’t recognize that Vick should have been the starter all along, and if he was, you guys would have lost that game, sorry to tell ya, and you beat up Buffalo, there is probably some division 1A teams that can do that. And I don’t want to hear the crap about us being lucky against Detroit, if we didn’t have an issue with greasy hands, that game wouldn’t of even been close, then we beat Dallas, a lot of people picked them to go to the Super Bowl this season, I don’t see that happening, so you guys better buckle your chin straps, cause this is gonna be one helluva game. And there’s no way a rookie is gonna block Julius Peppers all day, no way, and you guys know that.

i almost didnt respond because of the shamalan part… too close to shamylan but anywho lol.
do what i did and join all the sports blogs. as long as your respectful and such they dont mind
everyweek i try and speak witht he fans of who we(chicago) are playing and bounce things off of the other teams fans.
i like hearing both sides, so after that i decided hey i might as well do every team and the games im interested in chime in on those blogs too

And despite the lack of running game, I still think Green Bay is a better team. There is no way the Bears go into Philadelphia and win, none at all. Especially not after the Eagles make a halftime adjustment like they did two weeks ago.

Everyone is tired of hearing of the Lions not making a catch. That was pure luck.

Chicago’s luck runs out this week. Green Bay is better, and we will see that on Monday night.

Green Bay Packers 31, Chicago Bears 20
