Earlier this week I didn't think the Packers would be able to overcome their offensive shortcomings... but I'm becoming more optimistic as we get closer to game day.
Fuller is VERY good, but still a rookie. He plays aggressively and will be susceptible to double-moves as he tries to jump the play and make something happen ~ Jordy gets 2 long TD's. Tim Jennings is good but definitely doesn't have the play recognition that Tillman had. He's a better slot CB than outside guy, so can be beaten if Aaron Rodgers doesn't under-throw passes.
Their safeties (all of them!) suck and/or are injured ~ there's no reason in the world that Aaron Rodgers shouldn't be able to throw for over 400 yds AND get a TE heavily involved in the offense.
Da Bears offense will roll, there's very little our DB's can do to stop Cutler's high throw jump-balls with Marshall and Jeffery going up high. Stopping Forte on screens will be the key to getting the Bear's offense OFF of the field.
High scoring shoot-out with Packers up enough late to keep Gould from being able to kick a game winner: Packers 40, Bears 34

Keep in mind Aaron has his worst games vs. Chicago's D, historically. Maybe, now that Urlacher and Peppers are gone it'll be a little easier for him. Still, I expect Chicago to play them like they always have, like the Lions did last week. .
My only glimmer is Eddie Lacy... Bears jerseys bring out the best in our OL. Plus, Eddie is owning the fact he's not played well so far. I expect a HUGE game from Eddie in Chicago.
The fear is our D reverts to form. I think last week vs. Detroit was more the exception than the rule.
Hard for me to feel positive about this one.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
