Close one again this week

Things to look for: Offense
-Clifton vs Peppers (Pack O-line vs Bears D-line)
Clifton does a pretty damn good job against Peppers and I hope he lays everything on the line this game. Overall, the line needs to give Rodgers time in the pocket while his receivers get separation. Rodgers having to scramble around won't help.

-Finley vs Coverage
Finley should have a field day with the Cover 2. He needs a big game.

-Rush offense
Starks is averaging 6.8 YPC and Grant is averaging 4.3 YPC. Give them the ball early and make the Bears think run, setting up the deep PA.

Things to look for: Defense
-Stop the biggest threat
Matt Forte is the Bears offense. Packers are 6th overall in rush defense, but he is the biggest threat in the pass game. Packers struggled against covering Sproles and though Forte isn't as fast, the Bears may try to exploit this.

-Get to Cutler
Bears offensive line is just terrible. Capers will hopefully throw in some nice blitz packages against them and get to Cutler often. Saints crushed Cutler and the Packers defense should do the same. Cutler makes dumb mistakes under pressure

-Close gaps, form tackling
When Cutler or Forte are allowed to run in circles with the ball in their hands, they make something happen. Packers defense needs to close the gaps and tackle these guys on the first attempt. If they break 1 or 2 tackles, they always find ways to make it to the end zone.

-Turnovers
Capitalize on mistakes made (mostly by Cutler being pressured). Big turnover factor will play into winning the game.

And as always....DON'T KICK IT TO HESTER!

Packers win 24-13. 3-0.

A big thing that could help that is getting the running game going as you said. Also last year in the NFC Champs game most remember Lang going in at LT and getting beat bad for a series. BUT Lang stayed in one or two more series and Mike McCarthy changed the game plan and had them running and Lang was pushing Peppers around in the run game. I just wonder about the idea of having a running package where Newhouse comes in for Clifton at LT and they become a run first team in that package. Just thought it'd be a nice change up that might catch them off guard and then play action pass should then work.

Packers also struggled with RB Jonathan Stewart in the passing game. Of course they were trying to limit Steve Smith, two receiving TEs and keep a spy on Newton making sure he didn't take off and run... which the Bears might not have all those threats for the Packers to focus on become the RB.

Spend some time over at the Green Bay Press Gazette or JSonline. I bet you come away feeling pretty slimy too. No team has a monopoly on idiotic fans.

You won't have to search for me after the game this Sunday. I'm a Bears fan and I consider myself to be well behaved here on your board. The base core of Packer fans who inhabit this forum are ( Yes I'm really saying it ) football saavy and have an above average grasp of gridiron intelligence.

Look, I'm not some Italian Beef eatin' Guido meatball Bears fans who generalizes everything into a three word sentences like "The Packers Suck" I know football, and I know that this years Bears team is Most likely going to finish below 500.

But.....I still want them to do the unlikely this weekend, kick your Packer Asses![duh]

I love Bears week. I've been counting down on my tumblr www.dalezawada.com with funny pics(and one really mean one about Urlacher's mom).

The trash talking is always fun. We should be able to smash Jay Cutler good but I have a bad feeling about this week. I honestly think we're going to lose this one. Then we win against Denver and go 3-1.

Here's to hoping I'm wrong as usual!

One thing I am confident about in this game is Packers redzone defense vs. Bears redzone offense. Even if the Bears dink their way down the field, there is a good chance that they are held to a field goal or nothing.

I have too much faith in our offense to think the Packers lose this one. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if we did lose. These games just never come easy. [aiee]

Zero2Cool (39m) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

Zero2Cool (1h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (1h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (1h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (1h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (1h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (1h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (1h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (1h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (1h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (1h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (1h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (1h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (2h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (2h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (2h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (2h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (2h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (2h) : Packers will get in

beast (2h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (2h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (4h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (5h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (6h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (15h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (16h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (19h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating
