THE GRAIL GAME DAY PREDICTIONS--LIST THEM AS WELL AS SCORE

[Bretsky]

Well, I'm leaving in five minutes so I thought I'd throw this out there and if everybody wanted to add their juice it might be fun to see how close we are. Add your score and any other predictions you'd like.

Da Bears 16
Green Bay 10

The game will give us hope because we will compete

We will not be happy with our OL after today

Ahman Green will look alright but will not crack 60 yards

Favre will, at times, be erratic because he'll be running for his life

Driver and Jennings will make plays, but little from the WR core after that

Bubba will catch 2-3 balls for under 20yds

Our defense will look above average

We will contain the run and Grossman will be erratic

Our CB's will play well

Overall, we'll be content with the defense, but our OL will break down too many times for us to score enough to win.


Signing off for The Grail

Keep the Hope Alive

GO PACK

I hope the best - GO PACK GO!

My prediction is:

Bears 24
Packers 13

But wadda ya know; I actually put money on the Packers, Cardinals & Patriots to win. The odds here in Denmark (EURO) were good. All three have to win & I take the family to dinner.

[MJZiggy]

B, it's not like you were happy with our o-line before today, so that's too easy a prediction.

I predict we will surprise some folks in a number of areas. Jennings busts one and Favre keeps much better control than he would have last year.

Pack 24
Bears 10

[Favre4]

Packers 30-13 a route. Packers will come out mostly doing short quick passes to set up the run. Ferguson will be the offensive hero with 2tds as the defense takes him for granted.

Defense will surprise shutting down the run game, sacking Grossman into a fumble, and an int to the house by Collins.

Packers will play well enough to get me excited about the game next week. McCarthy will protect Favre with lots of 2-Tight End sets. However, that will limit the downfield passing game.

[BallHawk]

I usually don't make predictions, because I am either too much of a homer to pick against my team, or because I'm so much of a homer I choose my team every time. On second thought, those are pretty much the same thing. Oh well, here's my prediction.

Bears 17
Packers 20

Favre leads a late drive with the clutch TD grab by Bubba Franks.

Woodson gets burned a lot.

Harris does well.

Thomas Jones racks up 80

Grossman plays like crap.

Our O-line plays better than expected, but still allows 3 sacks.

[GBRulz]

I definitely think it's going to be a close game. Quite honestly, I don't know what I should expect. I think the kickers are going to get alot of chances today....

Bears 16

Bears 24
Pack 10

I see Pack having problems on offense because of OL. I see Bears having problems because of QB. Bears will score more on D, than on O.

[BallHawk]

Bears 24
Pack 10

I see Pack having problems on offense because of OL. I see Bears having problems because of QB. Bears will score more on D, than on O.

So that'd mean the Bears would have to score 2 defensive TD's. I really doubt that happening, maybe one, but not two.

Bears 13
Pack 35

I think the Packers are a lil better than everyone expects and the Bears will be a lot worse than expected. The preseason rust that Al and Charles showed will be gone. Like Iverson said we're talkin about practice man, practice! It's the preseason, those guys didn't have to show up. It's gametime and I think we'll see a better sense of urgency or at least I hope so. That and Popp should give us a bit of an energy boost on D. Offensively I think we'll struggle to start but finish strong.

[BallHawk]

Welcome to the forum footballforever. Good to have you aboard. We need all the kool-aid drinkers we can get. You can refer to me as Jim Jones.

From a Bear fan that's damn right civil.

I don't see the Pack pulling this one out - just too young right now.

Bears 24 (one defensive TD)
Packers 13

Favre throws 1 TD and 1 INT; fumbles once for a returned TD

Green/Gado/Herron split 30 carries for 110 yards

OLine looks shaky at the beginning while the Bears throw the kitchen sink but end up looking 'ok'

Hawk and Jennings have solid starts to their careers to the Lambeau faithful

Packers still search for answers in special teams (besides booming punts from Ryan)
