Shawn Meningitis.

Nice!

What about dillion as the return man! It would be like bowling pins scattering in front of the legs.

Seriously though I think the bears give us a tough game. They have a great d like always and we have been playing down to the competition of late it seems.

In the past, the Packers used both Dorsey Levens and Najeh Davenport to return kickoffs. They weren't bad either.

The guy we need back there is Valdez-Scantling or maybe Malik Turner.

Turner maybe, MVS no. He's a long strider/build up speed guy - I don't think he's got the quick feet and moves you'd like to see in return guys. He definitely has the long speed for it though. Do you trust his hands?

Dillon would be interesting. Is he still out with COVID, or is he in the doghouse? It's mid-season, you want to your rookies to start getting snaps and developing. Plus, with some of these likely bad weather games he'd be awesome to bring in and pound a defense with.

I know they've put Jamaal back there, he isn't anything special though. It's weird that they don't really feel like they have good candidates for returns and jet sweeps besides Ervin. That role could easily be replaced with a Mecole Hardman-type draft pick WR IMO.

I'll be pretty disappointed if the Bears keep it close. They are not on the same level as the Packers. That said, it's a divisional game, so we might actually lose. Who knows?

This is the type of game they win to continue to perpetuate the Fraud!!

The Bears on Monday placed veteran safety Eddie Jackson on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Nagy being coy on who will start at QB. Both Foles and Mitch are "progressing". The injury report will be interesting.

Packers claimed 6’4” 350 lbs DT Anthony Rush!

Looks like MVS is out. Lizard and ESB are getting their feet back on the ground finally. Still, MVS is the NFL leading deep producing WR. He'll be missed. But...... Not so sure we were gonna have the time to throw 50+ bombs anyway, so its another injury at the perfect time. We won't feel it this week. And weirdly, all of our injuries seemed to come at good times. Kinda lucky season so far.

Bring in Stills!

Mitchy is the starting bears QB

What the fuck is wrong with MVS? Did he injure his ego while fumbling away the Jackass game?

Btw, death threats to athletes are lame. In my wretched existence, only shit I look forward to is the Pack on any given Sunday. If anyone deserves to send out death threats, it’s moi. Yet, I don’t, b/c, death threats are lame.

As a teenager, I did email a local sportswriter an angry letter after he wrote that Air Jordan wasn’t the GOAT. I was like, yo, you ain’t know whatcha babbling about. 6 rings. Last shot as a Male Cow won the Last Dance. Jordan was a sellout, but he hooped in greatness.

[RashanGary]

Mvs tweaked his Achilles. I like keeping him out. ESB seems to be moving well, finally. He looks explosive for a big guy. Lizard is bound to be better. Adams is Adams.

Down the stretch, it will be nice to have MVS running decoy go routes with Adams, Lizard and Tonyan getting nice underneath looks. This offense is gonna be great, but the Bears defense will probably make them look good. Looking good against a great defense is greatness.

[RashanGary]

A few things I appreciate about MVS

1. His deep ball talent. Elite there
2. His run blocking. Shockingly effective and consistent
3. Everyone on the team loves the kid.
4. Does alright with crossers


Definitely not a complete player. Very far from that in that short to medium routes, most of them, he's poor at and contested catches in those short to medium are even worse. But with everyone back, you love having him in some packages for long field situations. Just gotta make sure it's a long field and you have reliable underneath guys to open up the playbook because you can't count on him to do those things at all.

[RashanGary]

On a long field, with MVS and Adams on the field, I think it becomes a lot easier to call plays too. You know they want deep help over MVS and Adams so you know you're gonna get 7 man boxes almost all of the time with 12 dropping 60 yard bombs in a basketball hoop sized hole regularly as of late.
