Bear week part one

[Deleted member 6794]

If MM calls plays "as usual" with 95% of 1st downs a running play for a gain of 1 yd., and AR throwing (incomplete) deep on 2nd down it'll be a long night.

Success on first downs is a huge problem for the Packers as they rank dead last in yards per play and first down percentage.

99% of the viewing public know that a high percentage of 1st down plays are runs, while 2nd & 3rd downs are passes...why doesn't MM see that tendency?

MM needs to look at all of his tendencies and consider changing them... that might be one way to "clean things up" which we hear in every post-game presser.

I think it's a pad level problem on first down plays.

The Packers have run the ball 72 times while throwing it on 67 occasions on first down this season. McCarthy's play calling isn't as predictable as you want to make us think.

Yup....just the 1-5 Bears coming to Lambeau, shouldn't worry us right? This is another one of those games that nobody should assume is a win, especially with what we have been seeing from the Packers lately. Add to that the injuries to the CB and RB positions and we could see something similar to last years November game in Lambeau. While the Bears have only won 1 game, they statistically are better on offense and about even on Defense. They too lost to the Cowboys by a very similar score (17-31) but the game was at Dallas. They also have a similar home victory against the Lions (17-14). Hoyer is playing pretty decent (no interceptions this year), Jeffery is always a threat, I am truly hoping the Packers aren't so busy worrying about what is wrong with them, that they overlook the banged up 1-5 Cutlerless Bears.

No surprises here but players that ruled are out for tomorrow:

Lacy, Cook, Randall, Rollins, Starks, Banjo, and Abby

Davante is questionable.

 

[PackerDNA]

Four days after a concussion? I don't see Adams playing.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Abby? Where did he get hurt, the shower?

The Bears will make plays on us in the pass game Thursday im afraid. No getting around it. Just hope we can sack Hoyer a few times and get a turnover or two.

But the Packers are last in the NFL for average gain on 1st down. It must be predictable and not just pad level.

The main reason for the Packers struggling on first down is a lack of execution.

The main reason for the Packers struggling on first down is a lack of execution.

Or maybe it's lining up 3 wides, an H-back, and Lacy on what seems like the vast majority of 1st downs.

There's no doubt the Packers offense should use more different formations.

 

[Packerlover]

The Packers are on shaky ground. I sure hope we can beat the Bears tomorrow. If not, the city of Green Bay will explode!

 

[mongoosev]

7 Packers are out for thursday game including lacy, adams, abby, and couple of CBs.

 

[Mavster]

Jesus, with Adams possibly out who will be playing as the second outside receiver then, Janis or Davis? And no Lacy? yikes!
I don't know if I can stomach another prime-time bedshitting of epic proportions

What's funny is I have little faith we will win this game based on recent play and Injuries.

That being said, watch them hang 45 on them and tell fans after to calm down.

It won't calm me down, but we definitely need a win and the long week off.

Wait who is hanging 45 on who? Because with the Packers right now, I could believe either scenario.

 

[Vrill]

We are a damn mash unit right now.

 

[Arthur Squires]

How did Abby get hurt?

 

[Packerlover]

Packers/Bears = anything can happen...

Both teams are beat up. I'm going to say we win 24 to 13. We have home field. I say that wins it for us!!

 

[MajikMan7]

Despite the injuries and extremely poor play of late, I have GB winning 28-13 in a tough fought rivalry game (I don't care what the Bears record is, it's still a Chi/GB game). Rodgers has strong bounce back game throwing 3 TD.

 

[Packerlover]

I have no idea why but I have a rush of confidence in the Packers, they will win this game.. Rodgers will be on target and control the events in this game. Go Pack Go!

 

[PikeBadger]

I think the defense abuses Chicago's o-line. I can see this being 40-17.

 

[7thFloorRA]

Sitton probably isn't going to play. The guy who never misses a game somehow misses this one.
