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.

Mucky Tundra (11h) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (13h) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (15h) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (16h) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (16h) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (16h) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.
