Okay. The Packers rebounded to beat the Vikings. Did they play well? I don't think they did that well, but a lot of writers think they did. I thought the Vikings offensive line was in tatters, and I still don't see their QB is being a real threat in the NFL. He has moments, but then he fails when the good QBs don't. They made our defense look a lot better than what it is.
Our offense is struggling. No mistake about it, the reason we stayed in the game was penalties on key downs, defensive lapses, and just downright spectacular plays by individuals on the Packer offense. Example, Jones TD catch in the end zone.
Chicago is without Forte. Lankford looks pretty good. I'd say that that's because their offensive line blocks great for runs. Hard to argue against it, based on what Lankford seems to be able to do behind them. Cutler? He folds his tent if things get tough enough. I don't see that happening in this one though. I think he's trying to salvage part of a season by beating the Packers once. We're going to see him at his best, is my guess.
The Bears defense is nothing like the Monsters of The Midway. If anything, they're less than average. Yet, they can make plays along the line, and put a rush on passers. They'll get to Rodgers more than we want them to. Yet, we should get some good results in our passing and running games. Nothing like we're used to from Lacy or Rodgers, but results that keep us in the game.
I take the Packers to win this one. I'm not nearly as confident as I was four weeks ago, but still believe we can win it.
