Bears vs Packers - Week 1 - Official Game Thread (Thu, Sep 5th, 7:20 PM CT/NBC/Bears -3, O/U 46)

I agree there is questions at TE but we have other targets to make it less impact-full. With Patterson, Wims and Montgomery, we have more options to spread our offense, it just wont have as big of as impact as last year would.

As an aside, I saw on the Bears website that the ‘experts’ have spoken and predominately picked the Packers.    The national sports writers and commentators, minus Mike Golic, have sided with the Pack.  Golic joined all the local Chicago sportswriters in picking the Bears.

Ill be frank; I’m not as confident about the Bears as I should be going into this game but I’ll agree with many of you that this tendency of the national media not liking the Bears is getting old.  Guess there’s only one way to change that and simply ‘play the game’.

My thoughts are that we run for 150+ yards and dominate the time of possession , while the Pack don't break 100.  I fully expect Rodgers to outplay Trubisky, but not as much our defense outplays theirs.

Good guys by 7

By the way, I brought up the idea of Cordarrelle Patterson playing TE a few weeks ago. It was my idea, didnt hear it anywhere else.

Just sayin...

30 minutes until inactives are announced. Burton was out there for warm-ups, so hopefully he is a go. Mack was first one on the field for warm-ups, again. 

 

I've had to do a bunch of yard work and house cleaning to help pass the time.  I'm now sitting down and ready for some Football.  I am tired of all the disrespect the national media has been giving the Bears this year.  But being a Sacramento Kings fan I'm used to it.  It's starts tonight winning that respect from everyone.

I know this is just one game.  But this one is much more important than a season opener like last year.  It's time the Bears  start to put to rest the Roger's era in the NFC North and start putting their mark on the division and the rest of NFL for the next decade.

I'm looking for a statement game from both the D and the offense and not be close.  

30-10

 

Oh and yes I have my helmet up and rotating.  Go Bears!!!

Defense looks amazing. And I am going to be a huge David Montgomery fan.

 

 

Halftime adjustments will tell the story.

I think my helmet fell off the stand.  Maybe we should of played the starters in the preseason.  No one looks like they are ready to play.

Hoping for a much better 2nd half.

Time to pull my pork butt I've been smoking all day on my kamado and maybe the Bears can do some smoking in the 2nd half.

This Nagy offense sucks.  Just give it Montgomery all day

Think it’s operator error, not the script writer.  Maybe I’m wrong...but I suspect not. 

"Man Bill, I’m coming to your house!  That sounds amazing!!!!!"

Yea, just finished my 2nd pulled pork sandwich.  Great flavor.  Just smoked pork and a good hard roll, simple and delicious!  Gotta love smoked pork.  

So win lose or draw this in on Nagy.  Gotta do a better job getting your team ready for a week one milestone game such as this.  Where is the run game?

Should have know to not believe all the hype.  Defense playing great and the typical bear offense can’t stay on the field.

Pulled pork and Cuban sandwiches are awesome!  Like it!

Ive never been a fan of Nagy not playing his starters more in the preseason. Especially when you have a QB like Trubisky who struggles playing his position in game time situations.  He needs more reps to become proficient ... plain and simple.

Agreed.  But we ran 15 times.  That's on Nagy.  GB's D was great.

What happened to Montgomery?  He was the only productive piece (besides Robinson) on the O ... until he wasn’t.

Inexcusable performance by the offense and playcalling by Nagy. What the hell did we just witness?
