Cutler has a message for defensive backs who previously stifled Bears receivers by covering them man-to-man and jamming them at the line of scrimmage.

“Good luck.”

Jay Cutler: "We invite press coverage. We welcome it.”


I'm okay with matching Tramon Williams on Brandon Marshall the entire game and letting them cancel one another out. Throw Sam Shields on Devin Hester and Charles Woodson on the TE and have the last Safety be the best tackler not on the field already.

Even though it is spot on.. we don't press like we have.. it would be a challenge to do so.

That said.. Cutler.. the man of 11 picks in 6 games verses that Packers might want to hold his tongue. Or maybe he can forge another reason to sit out a second half of football.. lol.

---

Cutler has one good game against the garbage ass Colts and he all of a sudden has a new swagger. I truly hope the Packers shut this bitch up...lol.

Sorry for the profanity. Fired up.

Nelson and Jones at wideout, Cobb and Driver in the slot. Not worried (except maybe in the fantasy league).

TWO MAJOR BEAR DEFENSIVE PLAYERS,URLACHER AND TILLMAN ARE HURT,

BEARS 23
PACKERS 31

Packers 27
Bears 20

I think this is a huge bounce back game for the Packers. Everyone is pointing fingers at the Packers and some  are even throwing in the towel on the season. [grin1]

Fact is, the Packers played 1 of the top three physical teams in the league last week. It took its toll over the course of that game and we got punched.

The Bears, sorry but they just aren't the same brand of team, are not as stout at the point of attack on both sides. They have secondary issues and backers (not named Briggs) are slowing down. They have a suspect offensive line but they have adopted a primary 3 step drop to get the ball out of Cutlers hands quicker and to assist the line play.

Cutler called it right, we are probably going to challenge the Bears receivers more at the LOS.. trying to take away some of those quick throws to place that pressure on the line. If they try and hold the ball and let routes develop, I think we punish Cutler and that line. So if the Packers can handle the WR's in the first 10 yards.. I think we blow the Bears out.

If not.. it will depend on the Packers offense outscoring them in a ping pong type game.. shootout so to speak. The Bears secondary can be had, so I expect us to be able to pass and I think we will establish a running game.. the Bears D line in the middle I think is suspect. So we will score points.. I would think at least 30.

I think the Packers have moments of struggle on defense, but I expect a better performance. I think the bend don't break in this game.. I expect the Bears to score around 17 - 24. If we fustrate Cutler early and get him moving, I don't know the Bears offense even scores more than 13.

Packers 31
Bears 16

This is surely a more glass half full type of prediction.. but I just have that feeling.

Brewers rolling again after a tough loss on Sunday.. Badgers will bounce back.. So will the Packers.

And yes, I am serious.

I think this game is too close to call until it is actually over. On paper and recent history the Packers are the better team, but unfortunately paper and history have zero impact on the present/future. If the defense can play solid (don't blow coverage, no blown contain on qb and rb runs) than I like our chances, same as I did against the 49ers. Regardless of outcome, an 0-2 start would not be a death knell for this team, the season is too young for that.

I feel like being optimistic today.

Green Bay 45
Chicago 0

Rodgers 4 TD (two to the old man, Driver, one to a TE not named Finley, one rushing )
Benson 2 TD
6 sacks, 1 INT, 2 Fumble recoveries on defense.

(It has to be a blowout. I'm missing the game, and I want to be pissed about missing it.)

Wade, I hope you're really, really, really pissed about missing it!!!!!
