Good start for the 'Pack, won one they shouldn't have won, change from last season.

RT Allen Bairbre had a 'mare, fair play to the poor guy for facing the media afterwards.

Frikken penalties on off. nearly beat them, but at least Rodgers got a drive in the last two minutes into the house.

Go Packers. Defense was excellent.

I reckon they'll win the NFC, a big year is in store for sure

Definitely made the right decision going to Rodgers last year. He had a big year yards-wise, but this year he's ready to go and do that mythological quarterback stuff. The 3-4 seems to be working well too, and they'll get BJ Raji in there too when he's back. I fancy them for the NFC as well, or at least to go close.

As I said in week 1 thread. Very impressed with our defence. Much much improved over last year.
We need to deal with the o-line issues. Rodgers was hurried way too much, Hopefully that's just a bedding in thing. If we can deal with that then I think we are set for a really strong year.

Hurried yes indeed, didn't throw anything of significance until the last bomb. and sacked three times if I am correct.

Kind of negates the WR corps if he hasn't time to throw to them in deep situations.

If they win the NFC North Div. title it will be good, NFC title is not on the horizon for me after that display.

O-Line was harrassed alot but that is a good Bears team and they wont play against many defense like that.

also even wen ROdgers was hurried he got out of the pocket well and showed the inventiveness and sharpness to go for the slide.

happy enough as long as no injuries wreck us again!

Results against Bears since '04 not so good. Think '03 was last time Pack won at Lambeau and that smaller place where the Bears play.

Best thing about Sunday was we won a game that went to the wire - how many of those did we lose last year !

McCarthy is 3-4 against the Bears, including last Sunday's win and last November's 37-3 drubbing at Lambeau. Forgot that? Any win against the Bears is worthwhile and important. The Bears D is a good un. No turnovers is good and the D played well, with 4 TO's of their own.

It's a good start.

Whilst I was impressed with the Packers 3-4 in the first half there are I suppose you could call 'teething problems'. The run stop was good. The Packers were blitzing heavily with the corners to get pressure on Cutler which worked well. However, 2 of Culter's picks were imo down to either the Bears poor wide outs and/or lack of cohesion between Culter and them. It left you exposed though at times to the deep ball and against a more accomlished passing attack I would be slightly worried about that. Hester in particular did some serious damage on Woodson and Harris in the second when the Bears began to pick up more blitzes.

Pluses are that Grant is going very well but coversley the right tackle had a nightmare. The Bears should have won that game, the Bears of last year probably would have, they usually make mistake free games but on Sunday some of the mistakes were ridiculous.

I can't look past the Vikings though to win, reckon either Packers or Bears will get wildcard, next year though they should both be stronger.

No no, I said that '03 was the last time Pack won at both Lambeau and Chicago.

Am I wrong?

As I started following the Pack in 1985 and had to wait a few years to see Don Majkowski finally break the domination, I know how good a win v the Bears is. The only point I was making is that GB hasn't managed a double in a few years, that's all.

Ah right. I misunderstood.

I've been following the Pack since '82. When Majkowski went down early in the '92 season I thought it was going to be a disaster.

Still, will never forget Majkowski's contribution. 1989 was the first time I felt really proud to be a Packers fan.

Fcukers are muddling their way thru Cincy.

3rd and about 40, fcukers give up a first.

Sweet jaysus.

FlutterinBantam · 20-09-2009 9:41pm

Beaten and deservedly so.

What a crock

Pherekydes · 21-09-2009 4:13pm

/Bangs head on table.

Cedric fcuking Benson, like WTF? Up till this, the guy couldn't run more than 3 inches at a time, but now he can run all over the Packers' much-vaunted defence? If Rodgers keeps getting sacked at the current rate they'll need to activate Brohm, and sign a few more backups.

FlutterinBantam · 21-09-2009 5:50pm

Agree totally.... frustrating display of total ineptitude in almost every department... and at home too.

3rd down allows was laughable.

me-skywalker · 22-09-2009 2:35pm

Are they still recruiting in the O-Line... I reckon i could pile on the pounds... Plenty of fry brekkies, doughnuts and burgers! Anything be better than that!!

You do realise that Offensive linemen in the NFL are actually very athletic

You are confusing their diets with that of a Big D nose Tackle.

FlutterinBantam · 22-09-2009 5:40pm

Vince Wilfork??

FlutterinBantam · 22-09-2009 6:09pm

Packers O needs to fess up fast.

From reading some sites seems there is a bit of upset there.

First Tauscher is gone, now Clifton is out for some time

Spitz will to move to LT and Scotty into the center with Colledge at RG.

That may not be totally accurate, but one thing is clear, the Pack OL is fcuked up big time .

Maybe Colledge will go to LT and Spitz as Guard but either way it's a fckup.

James Campen under pressure????

Thats nice

But you are more likely to find the big dudes and by big I mean 330+ muscle and fat combo who would lift you and your house as nose tackles and they defo lack the same stamina and agility as an olineman. But even these guys are fitter than me or you

Yep I agree , Kent Hull to legendary center for the Buffalo Bills was asked about doing reps against Fred Smerlas the Bills NT.

Kent described him as "Like a jukebox with hair"

Thought that was a great description.

FlutterinBantam · 27-09-2009 5:12pm

B.J Raji starting on the nose today.

Could be a good 'un.

Pherekydes · 27-09-2009 6:48pm

Aren't I glad I started Mason Crosby this week? :rolleyes:

A few TD passes from Rodgers to Jennings would be nice.

cooker3 · 27-09-2009 9:31pm

Reasonable performance. Still a lot to improve on. St. Louis should have never been in with a chance. We didn't convert enough in the first quarter.
Our running game needs a lot of improvement. Rodgers ran more impressively then Grant did.
Huge game next week away to the Vikings. We need to improve a lot over today's performance if we want to win imo.
