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

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.

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (27-Apr) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : I could feel my body decomposing in real time when I read that

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : @MIKEYSAINRISTIL Tyler Shough will officially be the last person drafted to the NFL born in the 1900’s

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : saw the tweet, he meant the city

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : Was that for the team or the city?

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3m Draft grade is in: Green Bay gets an A. The people, the city, the venue were all superb. NFL Draft’s next
