To The Game!

Bears/Packers:

-God, I love Qaron’s predictability so much! That look of utter disdain on his face when Watkins dropped that perfectly-thrown deep pass? Perfection.

-Tis no wonder that Lafleur noted that he’d like to get the ball into the hands of Jones and Dillon more often. I mean, what other choice does he have?

-Actually, he just might have Lazard back tonight. He’s the big (6’5″, 230) sure-handed, competent wr desperately needed right now. I’m sure Rodgers very much appreciates his mere 2(!) drops on 60 targets last year.

-Chicago’s D should be able to exert some pressure though. Defensive end Quinn had 18 1/2 sacks last year (3 vs. the Pack) and rookie Dominique Robinson had 1 1/2 last week. In addition, the Vikes had 4 sacks in their week one win.

-Montgomery is still the go-to back over Herbert, out-carrying him 17 to 9 but his 1.5 ypc vs Herbert’s 5 should give Eberflus some second thoughts.

-That Eberflus fella is up against it. Despite being one of only 5 Bears coaches to win his first game, Chicago is 2-12 in their last 14 meetings in Lambeau. And the Pack was the only team to go undefeated at home last year. (though they lost that playoff game, like they always do during Qaron’s reign)

-Piling On: Green Bay has won their last 12 night games.

-Fields threw for less than 50% in the wind and rain and muck last week but came up big in the 2nd half with TD throws to Pettis and St. Brown when it mattered.

Enjoy tonight’s offering before the cold harsh reality of Monday morning crashes in.
