Reiff is on the injury report with a shoulder, so that may be why they want someone else like Schofield that can play T or G.

We have a secret weapon or 3. Getsy + Patrick + St. Brown. They know tendencies, strengths and weaknesses from the inside. Getsy knows exactly how to attack his old defense and where they are weak. He also knows the offensive schemes. I know they can easily change these up but the overarching theme is the same. The best part for our offense is that last week's game was so bad with the weather that there is virtually no clean tape on the Bears offense. That is a bonus going into this type of game. We need every tangible and intangible edge we can get. We are underdogs and expected to lose. This one sets up even better than Week 1 does.

Jenkins was one of the highest graded players for Week 1 for the Bears and 8th Guard. Here he is laying out Bosa, then making the block ahead of Fields.

Seemed surprising but just like with the recent waiver acquisitions, I will hold judgement for a bit.

Somewhat similar in terms of Week 1 outcome, but in this offseason he lost DaVante Adams and MVS, and replaced them with Sammy Watkins and a rookie. Those 2 WRs accounted for close to 50% of the receptions, 50% of the receiving yards, and 14 of 39 TDs. Adams had 169 targets and MVS had 50. Rodgers QB Rating throwing to Adams has been insane. In 2020, it was the highest ever at 136.9. That is basically irreplaceable. Losing someone of that caliber is going to cut Rodgers production by at least 10-15%, so all his stats, including Comp%, TD, INTs, should be worse this year. People keep forgetting that it is a completely new offensive staff Rodgers is dealing with.

and their original O-Line was already suspect. They had the 2nd worst DVOA on defense last week too, only Arizona was worse. The Bears were 7th. This matchup is actually better for the Bears than the 49ers were. Definitely no Bakhtiari yet so the Bears will be able to get Edge pressure. They really miss Davante Adams. That loss looks bigger than any other offseason move. The Chiefs didn't miss a beat without Hill, the Seahawks beat Wilson (who had a huge game). The one big change was Adams having a huge game and GB missing him a lot. This really feels like THE season for Rodgers where he is just going to lose it and retire (or ask for a trade). People forget that they lost Getsy and Hackett as well as a bunch of assistants. Also, if we are comparing previous seasons, this is more like Colts 2021 vs Packers 2022.

Looking at Rodgers' stats against the blitz, it is better not to anyway. He knows where the hole is when you do that. However, I think the Bears will have a different approach against him than Lance. His O-Line is not as good as it was last year. Our offense has to step it up with a few sustained TD drives and score 21+ to win.

Starting out the gates +10 seems a little high after a 9 pts win and GB's double digit loss. Oddsmakers still have no faith in this team. Can you imagine if the Bears win and head into an easier part of their schedule, 2-0 while GB sits at 0-2? That would be wild. If I go off Week 1s results, I would probably say the Bears win, but going off historical data, it looks like GB should win by a TD. So I am going to say Bears by 3, 27-24!

That SF defense was legit. That Safety was all over the place like Brisker. I have to give them credit, their secondary played better than I expected. Now go look at the Bears Week 2 opponent at halftime, Vikings 17 - Packer 0. Packers defense allowed 262 total yards to the Vikings in the 1st HALF! LOL! Rodgers 8-15, 52%, 76 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 47.4 QB Rating for the first half. First drive of the 2nd half, strip sack fumble. This is pure comedy. The Packers should be a much easier opponent next week. Stop Dillon and Jones (leading rushing and receiving).

Week 1 for 2nd Year QBs: Fields 1-0, 2 TD, 1 INT, 85.7 Rating Lawrence 0-1, 1 TD, 1 INT, 75.0 Rating Lance 0-1, 0 TD, 1 INT, 50.3 Rating Jones 0-1, 1 TD, 1 INT, 87.2 Rating

It was the weather, SF didn't have Kittle, SF beat themselves with penalties. Watch.

Wow the rookies showed up, Gordon, Brisker, and Robinson. How about the offseason acquisitions every thought were nothing? Pettis, St. Brown had TDs, Watts and Jones had a lot of pressure up the middle. Muhammad was all over. Morrow looked solid. Roquan played mad, Jackson finally got an INT!

Yep, the rain (like the Bears didn't play in it), penalties. All were legit. Outside of 1 pass to a wide open receiver, Lance didn't do anything.

BOOM! 1-0, what a 2nd half, 19-3 domination! 3 TD drives. No way this team only wins 5 more games.

SF turnover on downs after almost another forced fumble by the defense. 19-10, 3:38 left to got. SF with 2 timeouts.

19-3 in the 2nd half, wild. Still a lot of time left, but this is promising. Capitalizing on other team's mistakes.

Herbert looks better than Monty. At least we got a TD on that drive. Santos needs to get his act together, we better not lose by 1. 19-10 Bears!

Holy shit Eddie Jackson is back!!! Huge INT!!!!!

It may not have been on purpose, but it is almost like they ran a completely different playbook in the first half, and SF made no adjustments (no need to). If that was on purpose, they are playing chess to SF's checkers. Now the conditioning kicks in. Close this out.

Holy shit, Fields to St. Brown on play action for the TD.

Yep, and outside of Jackson, the other 10 are all tackling and going to the ground with the offensive player. Roquan seems to be heating up with some hard tackles.

Huge 3 and out for the defense after the Bears TD. Now the offense needs a sustained drive for a score. At some point that preseason conditioning should kick in. Which team has better conditioning. The Rams rested their starters all preseason and looked gassed by the 4th.

I am surprised we have not seen Mooney or Kmet yet.

FINALLY, broken play, Fields to Pettis for 51 yards for a TD!

Mitchell with knee injury and is out the rest of the game.
