Five keys for the Green Bay Packers to defeat the Chicago Bears in Week 1. After four weeks of tryouts, decisions, and big moves around the league, the wait is over. There are no more meaningless football games, at least until the Jets reach Week 11. There is not a more fitting way for the

1. Protect Aaron Rodgers.
2. Take advantage of young QB errors.
3. Stop the run

Circular Arguments: They are a heck of an annoyance

I feel if we can stop their rushing attack, this game should go in our favor. I don't think the Bears are a team that can win many games through the air from what I have seen. If we let them grind out 5 yards at a time on the ground, it could make for a long game. I would like to see us light the scoreboard up early and make the Bears throw more.

1- Keep Aaron Rodgers upright and clean
2- Offense 75% or better on 3rd and short (5 and less yards)
3- Defense hold Bears under 40% on third downs
4- Run right at Khahil Mack. He's not in football shape and will wear down before half-time.
5- 3:1 on Turnovers. If we have 1 turnover, defense/special teams needs to create 3.

They should also run and roll out away from Mack. Make him run his butt off. He will be at the O2 tank sucking air. If the guys upstairs see him quit pursuit on a play come back at him on the next one.

Hopefully the offense isn't too rusty after barely playing together this preseason. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up playing sloppy.

What Bigby said concerns me also. The only thing that gives me hope in that reguard is how the one series AR played, they went down the field and scored. All of our starters should be well rested and ready to fly.
As far as Mack goes, I really don’t think he will play that much. Out of shape, a new team with all the new plays to learn, I don’t think he will be all that ready.
Keep AR protected well, and have a good running game to keep the D on their toes. If the run doesn’t work, they can key off on AR. We don’t want that.

Mack will be playing every third and long, don’t kid yourselves. He will have one very simple assignment, “Go get number 12.”

You know what scares me? The last 2 “special” nights, the rededication of Lambeau Field and the return of Favre, both ended up as losses. Now the 100th season celebration......I hope they can actually celebrate when the game ends.

packerfanoutwest (7h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (12h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (19h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (20h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (20h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (20h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (21h) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
