DECISION COMING SOON

Trust your corners and get after Cutler. Cutler is mostly tunnel vision on Marshall - he's his first read and he stays on him pretty long. Cover him up and make sure you have awareness that if you go all man, that Cutler will look for the check down and sneak. Make sure you send an extra guy to clobber Cutler. You want him on the bike, but not before the fourth quarter. McCown comes in and then you need to plaster everyone.

We don't want to see Josh McCown in that game too early.

What a game this will be Ladies and Gentleman.

Whhhhooooo !!

GO PACK GO !

yeah except our biggest and only true pass rushing threat is out. Their line is a lot better than it was the last few seasons. Philly got some nice shots on Jay tho. I'd be watching some of that tape for sure.

Based on the dif in GB's wei off DVOA now and when he went out, Rodgers healthy changes GB playoff odds from 33% to 48%.

< 50% still seems wrong, but...

I guess GB has to win outright. They can't tie.

Still, I'll be surprised if GB is not favored to win now.

Aaron Schatz @FO_ASchatz 2m
Incidentally, the Premium picks formula, which is more intricate than the playoff odds formula, now picks GB very slightly. So yeah, 50-50

Gotta send unconventional pressure on a lot of plays. If nothing else, force Jay to move in a direction he doesn't like. If you do that, it's coming from where he can see it so you have to cut off his quick/hot read. Requires a lot of discipline.

BTW, I disagree about the number one threat being out - by the end, Capers was so often wasting Matthews it was making me sick. But that's a great off-season subject - maybe for a month or so from now..... [/wishful thinking]

It's up to Dom Capers and MM and the defensive coach's and players to get their shit together and turn out a solid performance in Chicago this Sunday.

It's my birthday .... so the Packers win !

Just simply believe like you never have before. That's all I request of all of you.

BELIEVE !

BELIEVE in YOUR GREEN BAY PACKERS !

It's my birthday .... so the Packers win ! .

Is this the big 100?? Congratulations and many happy returns.

Now that's a hoot !!

Cutler still tunnels in on Marshall, he did it a lot Sunday night, but they also like to run M Bennett on a lot of routes in the middle and crossing the middle of the field. Jeffrey is used mostly on the sideline, either on deep routes or curls. The Bears like to throw a ton of those 12-15 yard curls and digs. Here's hoping either a safety or LB can undercut one.

bears fans cry and bitch about cutler looking for Marshall on every play all the time. They've got 4 legit weapons on offense but the biggest plays I see them make are jump balls that they come down with. it's stupid.

I think it was a Jeffrey catch that won them the game versus Cleveland, no?

[gbgary]

hopefully cobb returns too.

[Bossman641]

Yep, although that was more on the Cleveland DB playing the ball horribly. He's been on a real tear over the second half of the year and has come down with jump ball TD's over Minn and Dallas.

[mraynrand]

pretty much, and that was a jump ball.

[Guiness]

Jeffrey should be a big concern, he's a viable 2nd option...at least he was with McCown. He had 6 catches against the Eagles so Cutler is aware he exists.

It will be interesting to see how these two get covered Sunday, I think it will be one of the keys to the game for the Pack on defense. Well, that and how Forte will be handled with Jolly gone, that bothers me as well.

Has us moved from (zero points spread - awaiting any Rodgers decision) to 2.5 point favourites Packers, and on the road no less and assuming any rust and Aaron's game. The Packers are posted as -3 Point fav's elsewhere.

If defense wins championships and if that's true. Then Chicago Bears have no shot. Simply move over for the Aaron Rodgers led Packers, . The Chicago Bears defense has been really bad and Packers offense kept on trucking with Matt Flynn behind center.

Aaron Rodgers knows after a good view from the sidelines that he can count on a Packers running game. A running game that helps Green Bay dominates the time of possession when put on demand by MM play calls.

As a negative for the Packers. Defensive playmaker leader Clay Matthews III is likely out with thumb injury. Yet is that the sure case?

Look at what's going on in Dallas. Earlier it was declared that their QB Tony Romo was gone for week 17 and needed surgery on his back. Romo wants to get ready and try for his team. he ws the heart of that comeback last week Vs the Washington Redskins rare exploits, had them 'almost' winning that game.

At this time of the season and if your team has any shot at the playoffs... you better man up.

Some facts:

The Packers failed ATS with Aaron Rodgers out,; any of that is now moot. It's a start again.

The Chicago Bears... 3-9 ATS in its last 12 games.

Packers Vs Bears:

Packers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

Favorite is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings. The Packers are favourites.

Bears are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 home games. Hello Bears here come 'the Green Bay Packers'.

I like it and I like it a lot. It's a BEAR hunt.

GO PACK...GO PACKERS GO !!
