Until bears show otherwise, they are still the third best team in the division. I need to see them beat our better divisional foes and I personally think right now Packers are better than Eagles. This will be a very good test. Bears are absolutely trending in right direction - but the haven’t yet earned anything in the division other than beating a very bad Minny team 1 out of 2. Let’s see what they can do. Let’s go Bears!!!

He really has seen his production drop since the injury. I’m hoping maybe a bit of rest can help get it situated but sounds like it really requires offseason to heal.

I’m looking for a breakout Burden game with Rome out.

Listened to Olin yesterday. He said the Eagles defensive front was trying to flow to the ball and our Oline was just washing them out of the play. The best way to stop the cut backs we were running is to go upfield and get penetration. From what I've seen in film of the Eagles game, you can keep one of the LBs backside to stay in that gap. Yet that removes a player or two from the front side of the play. You can replace one gap with a safety. Or what the Vikings did in our 2nd game was blitzing a CB or two off the edge to counter both the run game or go get your QB. Word is the Packers generally are a zone coverage defense with 2 safeties back. Are they going to commit a safety to the box? I don't see them changing a lot of the zone coverage to man especially as that zone helps keep eyes on Caleb when he's running. Whatever they try to do, Olin doesn't expect their DTs to hold up well against our Oline. Single high is risky against our receivers but with cold weather and Caleb's inaccuracies you could bet that he won't complete many.

Any road game on a short week is always a tall task regardless of records. Makes the win that much better.

Wow. I've been wondering about that stat but didn't know where to find it.

Packers passed over Burden and took Golden in Rd 1 He said he’d remember the teams that passed on him. I hope he’s dialed in to the playbook this week.

This makes 9-3 even that much more amazing:

And Kmet , DJ, Zacch, and the RBs.

With Odunze out, more targets for Loveland and Burden.

Close, out with a foot injury, something that has been lingering for some time.

It seems to have been for 4-5 games. Goes back actually to when his hot start slowed down.

And broke his shoulder!

I kinda thought that, but maybe read it wrong.

Does anyone know how long he’s been playing with the stress fracture in his foot?

I agree Eagles was totally, I'm referring to our remaining games with that statement. Eagles had a better DC, talented DL, and playing at home after a loss. It doesn't get any harder than that.

I'll have to argue that Philly was our biggest test on the road. They were higher ranked, coming off a loss, rabid fans and the defending SB champs. Looking forward, we have GB and SF on the road. Both will be measuring stick games.

I've been watching a lot of Packers podcasts. OMG they are not getting it. One guy makes out they have more talented WRs with Rome being out. Golden hasn't did anything this year. They think Jayden Reid will be back which doesn't look likely. With Wyatt out ( good player) , they are claiming a waiver wire addition with have no problem with Dalman and Jackson. What drugs do they grow in Wisconsin that I'm unaware of? They're predicting high scoring games in the cold. It's going to be a similar game like the Eagles game. BJ is 5-1 against the Packers while OC in Detroit. I think he out coaches LeFuer as usual. Eagles were the least TO team in football until we got 2 TOs, now if falls on the Packers with that honor. The Packers have 2 inexperienced OL at C and RG and I see Jarrett and DAs stunts creating havoc with pressures.

Lions are capable of scoring a lot of points and that will keep them in every game. Dallas was a hot team and was beaten by Detroit. I wanted Detroit to lose but Dallas may have been a harder team to beat if we make the playoffs. I'm going to project a little here but what if we man handle GB the same we did Philly? This is our biggest test on the road. We could lose out ( doubtful) or win out ( possibly). For that to happen Caleb needs to improve some, defense get back to full strength, Edmunds back and our running game stays dominant. As other teams have more injuries, we are getting healthier. Rome is a short term injury so not worried about him . This could be a magically season if we finish 1 st in the NFC and at least make it to the SB. Not likely to happen but I'm a homey drinking dreamer.

We're getting healthier. 2 LBers will be back.

I think this could not have a big effect on the game. Rome is only catching 50% of his targets. I think Caleb looks for him sometimes when other people are open. Mentally I think it allows Caleb to focus on the progression. We have 3 Wrs capable of big plays plus, 2 TEs and 2 RBs give us plenty of targets. We also may see J Walker that was impressive in the preseason.

I don't think Rome has had a bad season at all. There have been a few bad drops, and some missed throws from Caleb, but he's 9th in the NFL in receptions over 20 yards and 15th in 1st down receptions. That's not a bad place to be for a 2nd year receiver in a new offense. There were a lot of growing pains with the offense in the first 4-5 weeks and there still are things to work out. His big play ability is something defenses must account for.

Odunze's absence should matter more than it does. He hasn't had a good year. Ironically, they may miss him more in the run game than pass game. Either way, not ideal. Moore and Burden have to step up. It's an injury that's probably not going to go away until the off-season. I suspect we won't see him until the rematch a couple weeks from now. Same with Stevenson. Edmunds comes off IR by then, too. That might be the game when they get all their horses back for the playoff run. Fingers crossed everyone can stay healthy until then.

Detroit should have lost that game last night. I despise both Dallas and Detroit. However, I think Dallas got hosed by the Refs (maybe the refs mistook them for Bears?) when they allowed Detroit to get away with two blatant DPIs with no calls. It would have totally changed the outcome of the game. NFL officiating has become a joke. If they want to "improve the game experience" for fans, it is obvious where they need to make significant improvements.

Branch is the joker in that defense and that's going to be a big loss in their secondary.
