OFFICIAL PACKERS VS BEARS GAME DAY THREAD

[Pugger]

Packer fake field goal was on 4th and 26.

OMG!!!

[Pugger]

Heard a term that's pretty appropriate for old Jay Jay....he's the modern version of Jeff George!!

He's more like Turnoversaurus Wrex when he gets hit and frustrated.

OGDP.

Can't watch the game. Social function that I have to attend. Maybe it's for the best.

Bears win, the difference being a flukey ST play. 27-24

LOL!

I so love being wrong! Like REALLY wrong

[George Cumby]

Is "4th and 26" now a good feeling when you hear it?

Thank you Tom Crabtree and Tim Masthay for erasing from my memory that ....... what were we talking about?

[wootah]

Hey guys, remember when we beat the Bears in the NFCCG 2 years ago? That was fun!

[Iron Mike]

Tramon was sensational.

He caught more Cutler passes than Marshall and Jeffery combined.

[Pugger]

The best news out of that game is Tramon is back!

[Packers4Glory]

still can't cover Tight Ends.


Great game for the defense, but the bears have a lot of problems on their line.

I hope Shields continues to start. At best, Bush would be below average but maybe not terrible. Meanwhile, Shields was an above average corner in 2010. Still has a lot of upside. I was surprised he didn't start last week because I thought he turned things around late in the preseason. Maybe the coaches were sending him a message. I'd be surprised if he didn't start from here on out.

You look at the talent on defense, and there is a lot of talent to work with. It's up to The Dom to get everything out of it. Add Benson on offense, and I'm excited about the season. There are some good teams in the NFC though. We'll need to be more well-rounded to get to the Super Bowl.

Turns out Bush didn't even play from scrimmage last night. Hayward was playing over him. In a game where they played a lot of man coverage. I liked that. Does it mean that Bush played himself out of the defense or is that just based on the "Bears are a passing team" versus "Niners are a running team"?

[mraynrand]

it's got to be a little of both Smidge. Plus, the reality is that Bush was less effective on ST against the niners. Probably because of too many snaps. Guy is tough and gives great effort, but he's lost in space on defense.

History is not on your side with this Bush assessment. Other than 1/2 of a game in the Superbowl, he's played exactly terrible in his other live action. I rewatched some of the 49ers game. He's always looking in the backfield. His guy runs free most of the time. He's just not good in coverage.

That's good to hear. Even if Perry has to be a situational pass rusher for us in year 1, he can bring impact for us. In 2010, we were able to play nickle with 8 in the box because NC could cover the back end like he was 2 guys. This year, we can't stack the box. We're going to have to play base if we're to stop the run.

According to Pro Football Focus, Walden got 36 snaps while Perry got 20 snaps. Perry recorded 3 hurries in those 20 snaps.

Just watched a condensed version of Bears At Packers; not sure I can recommend that...if you're a Bears fan! Actually, a game cooked down to 30 mins. is weird but it'll have to do [for now].

Where did you find that? On TV, or were you able to download it somewhere?

That seems like a really good split. 3rd and long, 2nd and long, long. . . . . I could see him being like a 3rd lineman, with other OLB's being on the field at the same time. and I wouldn't even call it a cause for concern at thsi point in his career. He's not done developing. If he brings pass rush on 3rd down, he helps us a lot this season.
