TNF: Bears vs Packers

The first Thursday night game of the year. Discuss it here.

 

Big game for both teams. Packers look to avoid an 0-2 start. Bears look to get the early advantage in the division.

 

Packers cant afford to start 0-2. Losing this game would give the Bears a big advantage not only in the win column, but also in confidence.

 

gonna be a really good game idk even know who to pick cutler and marshall back together is sick but its hard to see aaron rodgers and the packers go 0-2

 

Yea I like the bears alot but I picked the Packers. I just can't see them going 0-2.

 

these short weeks are great
anyone know the vegas line?

 

Bears win 27 to 24 in a thriller.

 

The Packers are 6 point favorites with the over/under at 50 1/2.

 

Bears should win a close one but i am not to keen on the Packers this year.

 

I am pumped for tonight!!! I think it could be a shoot-out, with the Bears getting the close win.

 

Heres a few keys of what the Bears MUST do tonight in order to win.

1. KEEP AARON RODGERS OFF THE FIELD. I know, a lot more easier said then done but this has to be done for the obvious reasons. If the Bears are able to do this, this will give guys like Urlacher and Tillman some nice rest on the sideline.

2. THE O-LINE MUST GIVE CUTLER TIME TO THROW THE BALL. The Bears have a history of making a bad Packers D look like all pros. That can not happen tonight if the Bears expect to win. Green Bay's D is BAD. The Bears need to take advantage of that fact.

3. THE BEARS WRs MUST GET PHYSICAL WITH THE PACKERS DBs. The Packers DBs have a history of jamming the Bears WRs at the line of scrimmage. I'm pretty sure the Packers DBs will try the samething tonight. It's time to punch the bully in the mouth by getting physical with their DBs in return.

 

Marshall should have no problem with this.

 

Hopefully Alshon Jeffery too. He's only one inch shorter then Marshall.

 

If the OL can just minimize some of the stupid jail break plays & keep Cutler safe, can see the Bears in a close one.

Bears have the WRs now & a Helluva backfield to be able to control the clock & keep Rodgers off the field.

 

i need the packers to win this. i took them in one of my surivivor picks

 

You took the Packers as a Survivor pick this week?

 

Im going to miss the first half cuz I've got a thing but i will catch the 2nd half at least

 

Yeah, kind of early to get that desperate. :icon_cool:

 

I'm rolling with the Bears winning 34-24.

 

If the packers D plays like out did last week i don't see any way they can win because the bears D is fairly healthy and i don't think any offense is going to put 40 up on them.

And i won't believe that the bears have some fantastic new offense until i see some consistency. Even bitb could score on the colts and packers defenses
