Official Packers vs Bears Thread

[Carolina_Packer]

Today's inactives: 19 WR Biren Ealy, 39 CB Trevor Ford, 45 FB Quinn Johnson, 47 S Matt Giordano, 68 T Breno Giacomini, 78 T/G Allen Barbre, 79 NT Ryan Pickett, 99 LB Jeremy Thompson

Looks like Pickett is a no go against the Bears. Hope Raji can have a big game, or hold his own.

Barbre and Johnson are surprises.

I wonder if that's a gameplan-related decision or if Johnson has reversed his development this season. I thought he was really coming on.

I really hope he comes on strong this game and uses the extra snaps as a coming out party.

Rightly or not, the media's already stirred up this little "beef" with Kreutz ... let's see him walk the walk now.

Let's go RAJI!!

Pickett out hurts us a little but it'll give us a look at Raji's NT skillz.

I thought 'Dozer (QJ) had a good game the last time he was active and am also surprised he's been out lately. I know he was missing too many blocks early on but I thought he had improved in that dept. Likely his pancake:whiff ratio is still not to the coaches liking. The batter's still a little lumpy.

Have to laugh at the Raji/Kreutz thing. Isn't Kreutz the guy with the vicious temper, who punched and broke a D lineman's (teammate) jaw?

See now, that is the kind of guy that will clip your knee when you are engaging another player if you piss him off....Raji should have just shut up and played his game.

Not really. Raji's on a bad ankle. He's playing, but he might not be at full strength.

Perfect. If he gets owned, we can say that he's a rookie on a bum wheel playing a crafty vet. If he holds his own we can sit around and cyber-slobber about the future .

Keys:
- Match Bears intensity - they seem to get more geared up for this game than the Pack
- Oline has to play solid again (<3 sacks), extra protection and schemes (screens, rollouts, drop off) to attack blitz holes
- Rattle Cuntler (3+ sacks, 2+ INTs)
- Limit turnovers and penalties (2 or less; 8 or less)
- Provide over the top protection for TWill
- Keep Forte to under 20 carries and 65 yards; Get Grant 20+, 100 yards and a TD
- ST will be important - Mason needs to hit his FGs and the kickoff/punt coverage needs to take their collective head out of their ass

Intensity will determine the outcome. If Pack comes out, settles down the Bears and gets a quick start, it could be a big win. If we are flat or aren't matching intensity, it'll be a long day.
