1-11 on 3rd down... · PACKERSHOME

So apparently, Cutler was 1-11 on third down against the Cowboys. They way the beat Dallas is through hitting big plays against the Cowboys' blitz. So, do we sit back and force them to complete on third down? Or do we bring pressure and risk the big play?
I might consider forcing them to be consistent on 3rd down.

Whenever the Packers concede the short routes and play coverage, they seem to lose. Their strength seems to be in putting intense pressure on the quarterback. Yes, it means giving up a big play or two a game, but as long as the offense is clicking, it's not likely to be game changing, as the Bills game demonstrated.

Something you'll notice about the Dallas defense is that they seemed to jump the gun on needing to blitz. To begin the game and most the way through they were getting good pressure without bringing the blitz, but then I think they got desperate and starting bringing extras and played into the Bears hand. I don't expect us to do the same. I am confident we can get pressure with 3-5 guys.

The Packers staff has been looking at the film of that game all week long. I have a pretty good idea that any suggestion I have is very much stupid compared to what Dom, Mike, Joe, Kevin, Scott and Darren have come up with.

Packers 58 Bears 14

Flynn comes in at the start of the 4th and throws for (2) Two Td's

The Monday Night T.V. ratings crash after the half with the Packers ahead by 38 points. Most viewers change the channel to the FOX network to watch "Two And A Half Men."

Which will be ironic because after the second half, when the viewers leave the Bears will be putting "Two And A half Men." on Matthews to prevent him from getting his fourth sack.

And that is how it shall be.

I also agree with the above posters that bringing pressure on cutler is key but not bringing too many guys 3-5 not 6-7 ...

as we saw last year cutler is inaccurate when he is pressured; as long as our DBs have a chance we will be good and pick off some balls.

The Bears OL is banged up and crap. Getting pressure won't be a problem as long as Cutler keeps hold of the ball.

Against Dallas he was getting the ball out extremely fast which neutralised their pass rush.

The key will be making sure our coverage is tight enough to allow Matthews and co time to reach the QB.

I expect to see a lot of Chillar dropping back and we're going to need Shields and Burnett to continue their solid start to the season.

One thing I think that would help us greatly is to burn clock on offense. Dominate time of possession and keep their offense off the field. This is a prime tenet of the WCO. You give the other offense fewer chances and prevent them from getting into a rhythmn. It would also help Arodge get into a rhythmn. I think this is one big reason why they go into those patented Mike McCarthy lulls. They should start doing that.
Also wears down the opposing defense while keeping ours fresh.

The only problem with this is that if we plan on running the clock, we can either play a west coast passing game, or give the backs a lot of touches. The latter presents the obvious problem of our lack of talent right now, as well as the fact that we'll be running into Urlacher and Briggs. Not always easy.
