This is a very winnable game. Chicago's biggest weakness remains it's offensive line so I see no reason why Matthews can't keep up the sacks and pressure on Cutler. We also should get a healthy Mike Neal back which should help relieve some of the strain the starters have been under the past two weeks and get our defensive line rotation back to full strength and hopefully improve the pass rush that much more.

Offensively, obviously if Clifton is out, the biggest pressure is going to be on Bulaga. He did a good job filling in for Clifton against Buffalo, but they aren't exactly an elite squad when it comes to getting to the QB. The Cover 2 Lovie runs can definitely be exploited by someone like Finley, and hopefully will open up some of the other receivers if Rodgers can get good pass protection like he has had since the second half of the Philly game.

Am I the only guy who thinks Matthews won't get a sack next monday?

They'll double team him with a tackle (Omiyale, Williams or Shaffer if Williams is not healthy) and Manumaleuna. The Bears' have already kept DeMarcus Ware and Kyle Vanden Bosch, their teams' respective top rushers, to zero sacks against them this season.

I will say this though: If we get any pass rush from anyone else, Cutler will most likely be lying on his back.

Yes.

You know, they have programs for crack addicts. If you need help, let me know. :cyclopsani:

Just kidding, amigo.

da Bears OL is mediocre, but on top of that, Martz's system punishes QBs. It's highly effective at picking up yards, but the price is your QB will take hits.

You can't double team CM3 all day long. Martz likes to send receivers out, and that includes RBs usually sent to chip in another system and occasionally TEs. CM3 will have his opportunities.

To your final point: I hope they do sell out to stop Matthews. That'd leave Raji and Jenkins with favorable matchups, which matchups I expect they'll win more often than not. We fans seem to focus on Matthews and Jones, but Capers' plan has been to bring the pressure from several spots, and thus far he's done that. Matthews is the one who's got home most often, but just about every member of that front seven has brought good pressure on a consistent basis so far. So as you said, if they sell out to stop Clay, Cutler's just going to get creamed by the bigger guys.

But, it's the Bears. I'm not even going to bother trying to predict what'll happen, since I know I'll be wrong. If the Packers play to their abilities, they should win, IMO.

Clay won't get a sack Monday night against the Bears.

I predict an NFC North team will win Monday night in a close one...... bold aint I?

Manu has played almost every snap of every game so far. And has rarely ran recieving routes. He's a 6th lineman. Ware and Vanden Bosch are world class rushers. They have a combined 0 sacks in their games against the Bears.

Their OL sucks, but they can shut down a premier rusher with double teams. But like I said, it will leave the door open for other guys.

I have a feeling Rodgers is going to run for over 70 yards.

SLANDER!!!!!!!!

Correct. Not "A" sack. But 4 Sacks.
