Game 1: Packers @ Bears - Thursday, Sept 5th

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Gained 5 yards on first down and go for a throw? Yah...not sure I agree there. Maybe third down if you want to gamble if you get stuffed on 2nd down.

 

If its a good throw MVS likely gets a 1st and it's game over.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Fitting end. Awesome job by the defense.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Hey ... the two FA OLBs share a sack, and Amos the clincher pick. Love it!

 

Huge, huge win to start the year!

What was the last time the Packers won scoring only 10 points?

[HiAndTight]

Amos with the pick in the endzone.

Za'Darius Smith beats him inside, Preston Smith finished him off!

 

 

That's 150 million well spent!

[SeaBass]

Woo! Heck of a win boys! Refreshing to not feel like the defense is living on a prayer. Love it!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

The Bears offense is bad. I mean, downright horrible. But this defense stands the chance of being pretty dang good.

[HiAndTight]

Scott just may be player of the game. Half blue, but field position was huge tonight.

 

 

I don't think there should be any shade of blue there. He was absolutely huge tonight.

[CheezWizHed]

Who wanted a 1-1 guaranteed record in the first two games?

 

Now to go take care of the Vikings.

[MrTPlush]

That was really pleasing...real pleasing

I really don't think they are. I think that's an average-ish offense.

Certainly the star of ST and close to the best overall of any individual player. Amos and the Smiths are there too, but...

Yes it was. And I'm normally bored by low scoring games.

Nice way to start the year against the double doinkers. Certainly raises my hopes this year although hopefully not prematurely.

Probably the fact the Packers defense has been awful for years. For them to actually have a great game...total rarity.

 

I think the defense played really well upfront and in the air...LBs left a bit to be desired. This defense could actually be fun to watch. Something that hasn’t existed since the last Super Bowl timeframe. The Packers really made it difficult on the Bears (who I think have a decent offense).

 

The offense was a bit concerning...but that was one heck of a defense they faced.

Might be the jets game they won 9-0 in 2010.

Their skill guys are pretty solid. QB play is going to hold them back. Their scheme and game plan was atrocious tonight as well.

Looks like the Packers have the better safety. Ha ha.

Losing Nick Collins was huge. They never recovered.

[nodakfan17]

Jimmy Graham is leading the league in touchdowns.

[pacopete4]

Team didn’t break down or fold when it got tough. Great sign.

They lost Collins, Finley and Murphy...the later never actually did much, but he was probably as talented a WR'er as Thompson drafted.

 

The thing about Collins injury, it looked like such a minor little hit to the head. Like Stewart's let just brushed it.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Love that Rashan Gary had the pressure to force the pick at the end as well. He didn't do a ton tonight, but the potential is very much there.
