Time to move on.

Packers haven't lost consecutive home games to the Bears since 2006-2007.

Bears lead the all-time series 93-91-6. Bears lead in points scored 3247-3244.

Packers WR Davante Adams has a concussion after all. He said on his way out of the locker room after last night's game that he did not. Doesn't bode well for him on a short week.

You got it, big daddy.

Time to fold back our ears and haul buggy.

Two more wins and the series is even?

Sounds good to me.

We hate them and they hate us.

They come north after we stunk out Lambeau.

We gottem right where we want 'em.

Will be interesting to see if the Bears go with smokin Jay if available. He probably gives them a better shot at scoring some points but is also a ton more likely to turn it over. If I'm the Bears I stick with Hoyer, try to avoid turnovers and turn it into a low scoring game, and make the Packer O beat me.

If the Packers don't absolutely kick the shit out of the Bears then there is truly no hope.

I doubt it.

This should be a win, considering how bad the Bears are...but the Packers have been looking like Glass Joe lately. Considering how bad the Thursday night games have been so far this year...and the state of the 2 teams on tap this week...the thought of gouging my eyes out has crossed my mind.

This game is a complete crapshoot. With how we are playing and the mounting injuries the packers shouldn't be EXPECTED to win any game at this point. Jeffery may go for 200 yds...but if Aaron and the offense can just be decent we have a good shot.

Here is the elevator pitch for a coach breaking a quarterback.

I’ve written at length about Green Bay’s offensive issues over the last two seasons, and here’s what I believe to be true: McCarthy and his coaches have designed and are implementing an overall offensive game plan that is unsustainable in the modern NFL.

Over time, Rodgers has overcompensated for the things that offense doesn’t provide to the point where it’s broken him as a mechanically consistent player. And when you’re a modern NFL quarterback, mechanical consistency is the most valuable attribute. It’s what allowed Tom Brady to knife up two teams in his return to the NFL from an offseason and a four-game suspension; it’s the common denominator among all truly and consistently great NFL quarterbacks. It’s something Rodgers used to have in spades when his offense was formationally diverse; and now that it isn’t, he’s forced to improvise far too often, which has set him off his mechanics to a disconcerting degree.

I used to disparage BR, but this guy has it exactly right.

Maybe last week was the start of fixing the problem, but I wonder if a coaching change could be needed to rescue Rodgers' career.

Depressing stat of the day

Brian Hoyer has thrown for over 300 yards in his last 3 ganes. Aaron Rodgers hasn't thrown for over 300 yards in 14 consecutive games.

With all the success the Packers have had it sounds crazy..but looking at the recent results and you see a lack of flexibility and stubbornness that does not bode well for the future.

I am not smart enough to dispute or agree with this assessment. The major problem I see with it from where I sit is that it presupposes that McCarthy is a moron.
