Cutler has had the kind of luck the Ol' Fatre had last year. 5 dropped ints in 2 games. Usually followed by a big play. We will get lots of chances.

They are going to be starting their backup RT and he is even worse at pass protection than the starter. Clay should get a a couple more sacks.

We have to limit our mistakes, then beat them with superior talent.

Really looking forward to this one.

I have to sit near 2 Bores fans at work.

I am really hoping I can come into work tomorrow and notice them by their silence.

I feel this is the game A-Rod finds his A game and GJ, DD and JF have big games on O with CM3 dominating (again) on D

Go Pack

A few things I'm thinking about:

1.) The games against Chicago were close last year, and they are inarguably better this season. Rodgers ended the first game on a play-action TD to Jennings. In the second game the Pack won by a narrow margin even though Cutler threw a pair of ugly picks. Chicago doesn't appear to be the same team this year. Urlacher is healthy, Peppers absolutely improves their pass rush (a hearty LOL to the feller at the top of the page who claims Peppers is "no threat"), and the Martz-Cutler marriage seems legit.

2.) Cover 2 schemes can give Rodgers trouble. Granted, Rodgers lit up the Vikings secondary in the two games last year, but he was also sacked 13 times in those two games. Rodgers' worst game last year was against Tampa Bay -- another Cover 2 team. Last year there were only three games where Rodgers threw under 200 yards -- two came against Chicago. Cover 2 schemes employ a lot of four-man rushes, which are responsible for most of the sacks against the Pack. When a defense consistently drops 6 or 7 into coverage and still generates pressure, it's not hard to see why Rodgers can struggle.

I think the key for Green Bay is going to be in running the ball adequately. Jackson and Kuhn need to get their share of carries and yards, otherwise Chicago is going to pin their ears back and play coverage all day. I say again -- Rodgers threw less than 200 yards in both games last year. Add the fact that Chicago is better offensively and defensively (compared to their team last year) and tonight's game should be close.

Force Cutler to force throws. Get enough carries/yards in the run game to keep the defense honest (ala last year's play action TD). Don't turn the ball over. Don't let Chicago's special teams beat you.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Already today while commuting through Chicago with my Packers colors flying I have been rudely cut off more times than I can count, unless I use all the middle fingers I have seen as well. I got boo'd in the elevator and have received constant trash talk. So far I have played it Chico cool and will wait until tomorrow for me to open my mouth in rebuttal. Go Pack Go.

Packers on prime time, monu-fucking-mentus.

Evad's earlier post had some great footnotes regarding Chicago's improvement.

The area in which they were terrible, and have seemingly regressed is along their offensive line.

Clay Matthews has quite rightly been getting the headlines recently, but I think the linebacking crew as a collective, for both teams, will be the catalyst in who wins.

Both units are pretty well built, with Briggs and Urlacher the stalwarts of their corps. If we can make their offensive line regret stepping onto the field, I believe we will win, simply because we have a more talented offense.

    beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season
    beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
