Luke Musgrave +20 reception game incoming!

So what kind of game is everyone expecting?

Shootout?
Low scoring?
Blowout?

Tight game?
One sides has a decent lead?

I'm sorta expecting a game with lots of errors, as Bears have a lot of new pieces and Packers are you g and changing up a number rod minor things themselves.

I want to say shootout, as the Bears finally got so many offensive weapons and better OL while with a defense that's considered weak (but they have so many pieces up front). But Packers vs Bears games tend to be low scoring one.


I'm going to say, either it will be a shootout, OR had there not been major bad errors, it would of been a shootout.

Though that probably depends on the Packers WRs being healthy and playing too.

We need to stop the ground game on defense.

If they can run on us, with their QB or RBs, they can win.

Doubs back, Watson still out.

Did something else happen to Bakhtiari's knee or are they just being super duper careful instead of just super careful?

Also good to see Doubs back. I think GB can get by without one of him or Watson this week but not both.

---

I think Bakhtiari's knee is forever changed, and as for practice will be day to day at best for the rest of his career.

He'll do everything in his power to be ready to go for game day, but the coaches don't want to risk aggravating his knee before gameday.

It's often stated that the hardest part of recovering from an injury is mental. I believe Bakhtiari said he's never had a major injury before. As I've listened to him talking about his injury over the last few years in interviews/podcasts/whatever, I wonder if a lot of it is mental for him. Almost to a point where the rehab was such hell he doesn't want to overdo anything because he doesn't want to relive that hell.

Gary ready to go is a huge boost. Helps the pass rush and could potentially limit the Bears playbook as the game goes on if he plays well (leaving guys in to block/needing chips leading to delayed routes+not running deep drop backs).
