Don’t know why this was announced this early but Smith and Mooney are out. Next man up ?

Looking forward to the game and the D rising to all of the negative comments. Hopefully we stop the run and play tighter coverage to stop the short passes. I think if Kamara plays and Roquan misses the game either a quick linebacker covers Kamara because Trevathan will be exposed or one of the back up safeties play as an hybrid linebacker. The play from the front four will be whether we stop the run. On offence we should feed Montgomery the play, use play action and if the secondary sits on our short routes see some double moves. Mitch to have a great day and the Bears winning 31-24.

Trubisky can only pass to the plays that have been called and this may be because the Packers secondary is better the our wide receiver group. I don’t know why double moves weren’t used to stop the DB’s sitting on routes. The short routes may also be down to the coaches assessing that our OL isn’t able to pass protect for a route that takes time to develop. On the longer passes is it possible to redo this chart to show if the receiver was open, had not caught a ball that was catchable and if it was a tight window or good separation had been gained.

Buster Skrine still not practicing because of a concussion. Missed 4 games already is that a concern. Head injuries are a major worry. If a concussion lingers this long should the player call it a day and retire. Jaylon was limited so fingers crossed for Sunday ?

Cardinals lost so we are in. Didn’t want it this way but we are in. Fingers crossed we get Roquan, Jaylon and Buster back next week. Until the last couple of drives it was close and we could have picked off Rogers twice. I’m a glass half full person so I’m proud of how we played today.

How unlucky was the D. I hate Rogers he’s a jammy ?

Great series by the O come on D lets have another stop ?

Any news on Roquan. Is he in the concussion protocol?

Hope Roquan comes back. Fingers crossed. Shame that Danny was matched up on the speedy wideout

Brilliant start to the game but feeling lots of anxiety. Come on D.

I noticed that Prince Amukamara is on the Cardinals practice squad and I don’t think he has played for them this year. Being on the practice squad I imagine he would be relatively fit if not game fit. Could the Bears grab him because he would be familiar with the system we run. Would he not be a better option than Vildor at corner.

Disappointed Johnson and Skrine couldn’t play Sunday. If Johnson has a serious shoulder injury can’t understand why he isn’t on IR

I don’t like to see players suffer injuries but the Packers losing David Bakhtiari to a season ending injury should help the front four get pressure on Rogers. https://www.nfl.com/news/packers-lt-david-bakhtiari-suffers-season-ending-knee-injury

On offense I hope we run the ball and use a lot of RPO with Mitch. I think Green Bay will use a 5 or 6 man front similar to the front they used to stop Derrick Henry. From a 2 TE, 2 WR and 1 HB I’m hoping we can run the ball effectively and when we pass Mitch’s options are small so he can get rid of the ball quickly On defense I’m hoping that Johnson and Skrine are available and if we can’t pressure Rogers with a 4 man front Pagano can use some exotic blitz’s possibly with Smith and Trevathan showing blitz and coming or dropping out of it. I think having Hicks available will be a massive difference to the game earlier this year.

What happens if the Seahawks beat the Rams how does that affect us.

Any chance Jayson Johnson plays next week. Need him when we smash the cheese heads next week. Hope the Titans give them a hard game and they need to play their starters. Greenbay’s bye week was early so they are likely to be nursing some injuries. Would like to power into the playoffs instead of limping in.

Hope you turn around in the 2nd half came from the coaches putting a fire in the players. The 1st half was so lacklustre. D seems to have turned up now. If we see this out what result would be best for the packers. I would like to see the Titans smash them up.

D and O not very good. At least we have a good kicker. The first half has been a joke. If I didn’t know better I would say the players don’t want to make the playoffs.

D should be ashamed of their performance in the first half. Glennon is taking the piss with them.

No thanks to Robbie Gould. Come on the Bears tonight was sweet.

It’s in our hands now. We are in control of our own destiny. Merry Christmas everyone what a Boxing Day night.

Gould definitely wants to stiff the Bears

Gould trying his best to stiff the Bears.

49ers doing well until Gould misses the field goal.

Watching the Cardinals v 49ers. Looking good at the start. Fingers crossed we might have a great Christmas present today.
