2019 Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears Week 1 Discussion Thread

Packers CB Kevin King said he plans to play Thursday against the Bears -- "no doubt," he said -- which would be the first step toward his season goal: "To play all 19 games and win on Feb. 2." King practiced today for the first time since his Aug. 2 right hamstring injury. It's not the same leg that ended his 2018 season with a hamstring injury. King, the Packers' top pick in 2017, has only played 15 of a possible 32 games in his career

TE Jimmy Graham also was back on the field for the first time since he suffered a hand/finger injury in camp. Looked like he had two fingers on right hand taped together.

Hate to say it, but I fear King will be riddled with injuries his entire career. His slight frame and the way he runs and throws his body around just doesn't lend itself to staying healthy. Kind of reminds me of RG3 in a way. Great athlete, but with an awkward, lanky style.

Word. They oughta move King to WR. He ain't Dick Sherman.

I'll take King getting injured in the 2nd quarter at -145.

Saving this for later. Don't ask where I got it.

Bears lose Bigly, 31-10 Packers.

Spoilers alert!


While the coward king of incest hide inside an underground bunker, Tyrion Lannister successfully led the defense of King's Landing against the fleet of Stannis Baratheon. The Half-man used wildfires.

Tyrion would eventually betray the virtuous Mother of Dragons, so fuck the Imp!

Only 3 things are certain, death, taxes and King getting hurt!

Nah, don't think he makes it out of the first quarter. Not counting on him at all this year.

watched the Packers Bear game from last year today; the Packers were dam lucky to win that game. Down 20-3 in the 3rd and on their game winning drive Fuller drops a pick that hits him practically in the chest.

I don't see Green Bay winning Thursday night

King, for what it's worth, is a really good player when healthy

King ought to be good if he is healthy, but as I recall, his coverage ability wasn't all that great - plenty of physical talent, but instincts nothing special. It he's every gonna be great, he not only needs good luck with lack of injuries but also some experience and development.

[texaspackerbacker]

I was at last year's game. It was NOT a case of a lucky comeback. Rather, the damned Bears had everything fall their way early on - obviously including the Rodgers injury. The Packers came back due to guts, grit, and just plain being the better team.

This year, the Packers are extremely much better defensively; The Bears are at least a little bit worse defensively; The Packers hopefully will have a healthy GOAT QB for all four quarters as well as better receivers and at least as good a running game. The Bears at best will be the same offensively.

How some people can predict doom and gloom is beyond me. I see it as a comfortable Packers win.

I wasn't gonna predict scores this season, but what the hell ...... Packers 34 Bears 16

Yeah, but this year its the Bears who won't know the Packers offense in the first half. Dropped interceptions have given Brady 3 Super Bowls, so I have no problem accepting them as fate.
