A Gameplan For The Bears

[BEARMAN]

I think the key to this game is gonna be your "O" line. "IF" they can hold back DA BEARS all out blitz, and protect farve a little, you may have a chance to keep it close. However, watching preseason play, your "O" line dosn't look up to the task. "IF" DA BEARS put presure on Farve, he will throw INT's. "IF" your "O" line is dominated as I think it will be, there is a good chance Farve is put out the game, either hurt or replaced.
Now, "IF" Rex, MM and Jones have a good day, which they may very well have, your young, under sized and slow "D" will have alot on their plate ! Do not forget Special teams, your kicker kicks toooo far, over streaching your coverage witch allows for big returns.

BEARS - 24

Packers - 9

GO BEARS !

under sized and slow "D"

where are we undersized?

not to mention slow. where are we slow?

you bear trolls make me laugh. have an intelligent discussion for once, not just "DA BEARS will DOMINATE your O-line!!!!11!111one!"

Not sticking up for him but that is a HUUUUGE KEY!

What is a huge key? Please explain?

[BEARMAN]

"young" as in Rookies.

"undersized" as in your DL and LB's are on the smallish side.

"slow" as in can not cover very well.

Anything else you want me to explain to you about your packers?


GO BEARS !

Bear,

I'm pretty sure I know where you are coming from and frankly don't expect to gain any insight in your posts. My question was addressed to Bulldog, but thanks for checking in again.

[BananaMan]

I won't argue about youth. And who's to say that youth is a bad thing? Just stupid.

SLB Brady Poppinga: 6'3" 245
MLB Nick Barnett: 6'2" 232
WLB A.J. Hawk: 6'1" 246

DE: Aaron Kampman 6'4" 278
DT: Ryan Pickett 6'2" 322
DT: Kenderick Allen 6'5" 328
DE: KGB 6'4" 250

Undersized? Right.

Oh, and we can't cover...?

Steve Smith vs. Packers: 2 catches, 12 yards.
Steve Smith vs. Bears: 14 catches, 169 yards.
Steve Smith vs. Bears in playoffs: 12 catches, 218 yards.

Ouch.

"undersized" as in your DL and LB's are on the smallish side.

I don't agree with your assertion that the bigger the team the better, but in the interest of interjecting some facts into your hyperbole I looked at the starting front 7 of both teams (thanks BananaMan for the Pack info listed above).

The average weight of our LBs is 241# compared to 245# for the bears.
The average weight of our DL is 295# compared to 281# for the bears.

And this is meaningful how?

tHE HUGE KEY IS HOW OUR YOUNG, INEXPERIENCED oLINE PLAYS.

I agree. I think the line will blow it and Favre will get pounded. I don't think the Packers have a chance and the primary reason is the inability to run w/ the line and the inability to pass because of the line.

Bears win by at least 10.

If that's the case, and I think it is, the worst thing you can do is be predictable and one-dimensional. If the Packers are to win this game, they will need to get decent yardage on 1st down. That means passing a good deal of the time.

[The Shadow]

So an unorthodox approach -again - is the way to go, at least in my opinion.

[b bulldog]

I would agree but I think that this will make Brett make the wise decisions and I'm not sure he can do that most of the time. Just my opinion!

I'm on board with the pass first philosophy.

Bulldog.. Run 70% of the time; while acknowledging the Packers weakness is an inexperienced O-line... ummm, logic please..?? You post some interesting takes at times, this is not one of them..

The Packers have their work cut out for sure, Lovie has a great track record against Favre. The worst thing we can do is gift wrap the game by playing to their strengths.

My only hesitation with the Pass first philosophy is timing.. a lot of inexperience on this team, timing will be the issue. Favre cut his teeth on the West Coast Offense.. It will be interesting to see if the old master, can remember his roots....

Like it or not, this game is on Favre, Driver, and Franks.. the three of them need to put on a West Coast Clinic.....If they can do their jobs, Jennings, and Green will profit.

The Bears offense is straight forward, nothing real scary.... don't make dumb mistakes on Defense, and we stay in the game..

Favre

I would agree but I think that this will make Brett make the wise decisions and I'm not sure he can do that most of the time. Just my opinion!

How many freakin posts are you gonna make and take the same shots at Favre? You say the same shit over and over. Don't you ever tire of it? Can you say anything new or is that all your brain can handle? We all get the idea what your opinion is by now. Being ignorant does'nt make repetetive posts funny................
