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.

Anyone going over to the Bears forums and talking smack at all?

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 (2h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (2h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (2h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (2h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (2h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (2h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (2h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (2h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (3h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (3h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (3h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (4h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (4h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (4h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (4h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (5h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (5h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (5h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (5h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (6h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (7h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (7h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (8h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (8h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (8h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (8h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (8h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (8h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (8h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (8h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (8h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (8h) : 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 (8h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (8h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (8h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (9h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (9h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (9h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (9h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (9h) : Packers will get in

beast (9h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
