Hate those injuries - I want to beat them with everyone there. Want bears to learn what it takes to beat the best. 
 

Hoping we get good news on Odunze and we see Bears play their best game yet next Saturday night!!! Let’s go bears!!! 

I honestly don’t. I want them to be riddled by season-ending injuries. I want them to be completely barren. I want them to suffer.

This goes all the way back to Charles Martin and the never-ending string of Bears’ QBs afterwards. I’ll never let it go. Especially when they get back to back HOF QBs over the stretch of 20 years, followed by what appears to be yet another franchise QB.

And, unfortunately for us older fans, we remember HOF QB Bart Starr from the 1950's. How can one team manage to have three HOF-quality QBs spanning the entire Super Bowl Era? I was praying J Love would suck, leaving the Packers in the QB Hell the Bears have suffered for so long.

I try to talk myself into, the Packers aren't very good but they are. This game will define how far we have come this year. Winning is all that will matter.

This game may define where we are as a team culture, but without Odunze and Burden, we can make a gut check call, but we cant demonstrate how dominant our offense is, theyd have to go off too to do that. But can we win? Hell yes.

I expect a lot of running, play action to TEs, and hopefully we can get Moore involved, but i bet theyll double him. I sure hope 12 and 14 are ready to go.

Not on here but many people talking about picking up Matt Judon. This is why you don't.

I seen one report we picked up Judon but I usually like to see 2 to verify it. If he helps, good signings, if not,no big deal.

Bears lead the NFL in Rushing First Downs with 123. The next closest team is BUF with 116, but they have 41 from Allen at QB.

Bears lead the NFL in Takeaways with 30. The next closest team is JAX with 26. Crazy how much takeaways correlate with success. The top 11 teams in takeaways:
CHI 10-4, JAX 10-4, HOU 9-5, LAR 11-4, PIT 8-6, SEA 12-3, LAC 10-4, TB 7-7, BUF 10-4, and IND 8-6. PHI is 11th at 9-5. 

Packers were 5-4 on the road last year and 5-6 in 2023, but are currently 4-2-1 this year. So they are due for a correction.

Now Deandre Swift on the injury report.  Potentially aggravated the groin injury from earlier in the season.  Listed as questionable.

Jacobs is also questionable.
