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 Aaron Rodgers 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 Aaron Rodgers 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.

Zero2Cool (now) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (1h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (15h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (15h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.
