GDT Week 1: Packers at Baers

As I said in the seasons predictions thread I get all the hype around this young offense and Jordan's journey. That being said, especially early on I will have my eyes on this defense and if Barry learned from last season. There is a lot of talent on the defensive side of the ball. Lets see if we actually let them play to their strengths and aid the team with their young QB or if it's more of the same and the pressure stacks up.

I do feel we can win this, but without any real feel of what we will do I'm 60/40.

Anyways, I'm so excited for this season and to watch this team develop. Go Pack Go!

True, but one of the excuses no longer applies, I am happy to say; our first unit actually got in some reps this preseason.

You know I just realized something that the Packers have only had 2 week 1 games at home since 2013 (2017 and 2018).  That's insane, and the league should be forced to start changing that.

Now I'm not saying that it excuses our coaches and players to be unprepared for those, but tip the scales so that you almost always open the season on the road and I guarantee you you'll probably find yourself dropping a good chunk of those.

That's the reason the Bears asked the NFL commissioner to put the Packers on their schedule week 1 at home.  Maybe playing our starters in each of the 3 preseason games a little will help jump start our season.  We really came out flat for the first game the last several years.

Either that or they wanted it at an early start so they'd not have to have their embarrassment shown on NBC or ESPN national prime time TV

The Bears have to be +2 in turnovers or Fields has to go off running the ball for us to lose. I think we are clearly the better team. 

Quarterback - Packers

Running Backs - Packers

WRs - Push (Packers are still unproven)

TEs - Push

O-Line - Packers big time

D-line - Packers 

LBs - Bears slightly

EDGE rushers - Packer big time

S - Bears

CB - Packers slightly

Specialist - Bears

Special Teams - Bears.

In theory we blow them out. Concerned about our week 1 starts in the past. Hoping our guys playing in preseason helps alleviate that issue.

If you listen to many of the talking heads, Justin Fields is a top MVP candidate. 

Not sure I’ve seen such cockiness from a fan base whose team is coming off a 3-14 record.  They’re insufferable.  We need to dead that immediately or it will only get worse.

I'd bet they are closer to calling for his head in December than winning MVP.

The guy hasn't been in the NFL that long and all 3 Packer starting CBs this week have intercepted him.

I think ya gotta go with the Bears at WR.

Moore, Claypool, and Mooney is actually a pretty good group there.
