IT'S ON!! GB@Chi 2025 wildcard round

[gopkrs]

I say if we win the toss; we get the ball and defend the goal we want in the 4th quarter

 

[OldSchool101]

I’m excited to watch what should be a good game against 2 of the leagues top 14. A Loss will be a depressing end to a remarkably good start to our season. I’d have to be honest and give Chi a -1 point favorite for playing at home, but only micro favorited because GB is returning several starters and should be well rested

That said a Win would really feel good because it’s Chicago and it’s not the team we’re used to beating up on. If my math is correct Chicago is in their 3 year window. We can hand them 1 year loss and squeeze that to a 2yr window. That’s when their QB gets paid and when all their massive FA deals come due. They won’t be the same in 2028.

If GB can show a little bounce back? They go into 2026 with some optimism. Tucker will likely be first back followed by Micah, similar to Reed and Watson returning. If we can win without Wyatt and Parsons and Kraft? We can cause some serious dilemma in the North again in 2026. Anything past a Wildcard Win is a bonus.

Heres to hoping for an injury free, hard fought battle. We should be grateful MN and Detroit are watching from home. I wouldn’t want to play either as Division winners. Chicago just doesn’t scare me like they do some folks.

That begs the question what is our window?

At least the team we had at the start was primed. A number of teams had injuries that plagued their performance this year. Some overcame then like the 9ers. Others like the Ravens, Lions, and Chiefs could not.

Yeah for GB having Kraft and Parsons would be difference makers.

 

[rmontro]

Night and day.

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

Yeah for GB having Kraft and Parsons would be difference makers.

To start the season, we didn't have parsons, and we didn't know Kraft was going to be a break out player.

Musgrave, imo, has been held back, to save him for playoffs.... Same with golden.... Letting them get healthy. MIssing our starting DTs, Center from the start of the season team. Lost Hobbs, gained Diggs.... Lost one of the rookie WRs. Golden back 100%.

GB playing possum? Then going to come out tonight like a rabid spider monkey? Lol. I hope so.

 

[melvin dangerr]

Why couldn’t the Rams Panthers game be on prime, up yours Amazon!

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

Why couldn’t the Rams Panthers game be on prime, up yours Amazon!

Looked like rams were going to blow the panthers up. But it actually a pretty good battle.

Stafford 8/8, and that nasty Carolina turnover is the difference.

 

[Green Tundra]

Yeah for GB having Kraft and Parsons would be difference makers.

Bears have had 30% of their D starters out all season.
They have several out tonight.
Chi defense is average (at best).
If we can stop their running game, we will win TOP, and wear down their leftovers.

 

[Green Tundra]

Because no one is paying to watch Rams Panthers.
This GB/CHI game will be the most watched this season by far, (and there have been some amazing games).

Musgrave simply isn’t an all around TE. Whyle is a more versatile TE right now for us. I like Luke but he has not progressed

I guess we disagree on that too.

Stoopid decision by Rams to go for it on 4th & 3 at the 25(??) yd line with 1:40 left in half. Take the 3 & kickoff. Since their D sucked & let Panthers sprint downfield & put up 7 in less than a minute now a 3 pt. game instead of 6 (or more) at the half.

Musgrave has had three years to show what he can do. He's fine as a route runner and his hands are ok. Where he struggles is in blocking and yards after catch. Those are two big things for a TE. For a guy that was supposed to open the field with deep routes down the middle we've been tantalized a few times but those big passes have been sporadic. I'd be happy if Musgrave had even one of those explosive plays tonight.

Yeah I'd say the panthers going for it on 4th and 1 on their own 42 or so, on the opening drive ... Not wise either. Pin them deep and let the defense play.

We did not get Watson until mid-season. But early in the year even the healthy players were healthier. The team got off the ball on both sides very quickly. Our one hiccup was Cleveland. That was on MLF and Bisaccia for not having us ready.

 

[gopkrs]

That begs the question what is our window?

I don't think we have one. We have a good young QB on contract. We have made some bad mistakes paying people and have made some iffy picks, but we are hanging in there. We can't afford more bad choices though. imho. And need to shore up a couple crucial areas. But now us now. GoPackGo!

I hope we aren't pinning chicago deep all game and then getting worn out on 80 yard drives.

I still think our wr corps has yet to over power a team like they're capable of. Watson, reed, daubs, golden, wicks, are a great and deep group. I think we could expose teams with weak secondarys.

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

I hope we aren't pinning chicago deep all game and then getting worn out on 80 yard drives.

I hope we aren't going for it on 4th down in our territory, giving them a short field.

Rams were 7-0, 4 plays later.

 

[DABIGZ]

this game just got harder.. some reason Zach Tom is out. Because of course.

 

[AmishMafia]

I woke up feeling the Cheesiest Coach!!!!!

Packers held back in last meeting. They will have a great day on the offense and we are going to put too many points for the Bears to come back at the end.

Packers 34 Bears 20

 

[gopkrs]

I hope we do. At least anywhere near the 50

Made some over the years as well. Many teams have. But we are not the Raiders.
