Good article, especially point 2.

Bowen thinks the Bears should concentrate on stopping Starks and "force Rogers to make all the plays".

Jeez, could we make sure that's what Lovie does?

Lol, that worked REALLY well for the Falcons, didn't it?

the more I think about Rogers' performance Sat night, the more amazing it becomes. He was absolutely perfect! You can't expect 2 games in a row like that, but I think he will beat the Bears' defense with a "normal" game from him.

The Bears D is much better than the Falcons.

No doubt about that. I was referring to that particular game plan. If they're going to try and stop Starks, and let Rodgers have a field day, that's just what he'll do. The Falcons held Starks in check, but look what happened.

They did it both times we played them.

When they talk about concentrate on stopping Starks, it's doing so with 7 men on the box and 2 safeties deep.

I've been giving this exact thing alot of thought this week. They say the reason the Jets beat the Patriots is because they took away what they wanted to do.
What the heck do you take away from the Packers? The deep ball? OK, we'll kill you underneath and with runs and screens. Take away the intermediate routes? OK, we'll flip one over the deep coverage for long gains and mix in RB draws to keep the pass rush slowed down.
Honestly? I don't think there is a way to stop the Packers offense. They've had to kind of reinvent themselves after all the injuries, I think they will play with purpose and execution.
Dom Capers will find a way to keep Chicago one dimensional, now that's a game plan that would have some effect.
