So who's in last place after week 1?

That's right the Packers are in last place in the NFC North after week 1. LOL Gotta enjoy that while it lasts, SF is a tough team though. Who'da thunk the Bears, Lions, and Vikings all are 1-0 and the Packers are 0-1.

 

If we can take one from GB that will be huge and give us a virtual 3 game lead on the media darling Packers. Big game coming up for the Bears and nothing would make me happier than to see the the Bears stomp all over the Packers in their house and give them an 0-2 start and give them their second straight home loss this year!.

Looking at how we played today there is no reason why we cant beat the packers. On offense we need to run the ball like the 49ers did and we need to use our big WR'S to our advantage. Also I think our TE'S will be open with the way the Packes play D. On D we need to stop the Packers slant routes thats the only way they beat us.They cant run the ball(Benson sucks)so we need to pressure Rodger from the outside in to keep him from running.

totally agree both offensively and defensively. We finally have big targets in the passing game guys who can go up and get the ball, guys who can use their body to create space. Another thing that I like about Marshall and its not something that's always noticed is that he has the presence of mind that if he can't make that catch he will make sure no one can. I've seen it in preseason and I saw it today where a ball that could have been picked he bats it down to make sure it's an incomplete and not an INT. I loved watching him and cutler work and just when you focus on Marshall, he hits Hester, Bennet, Jeffery or Forte. I think Jay hit like 8 different guys today. That pass to Jeffery for the TD was absolutely beautiful. Give Jay time to throw and he will make plays that make your jaw drop. That pass alone, was right on the money, it hit Jeffery in the hands on stride and over the DB's. This I think is the year the Leage finds out just how good Cutler can be. I liked our balance today we used the run effectively and what a difference this passing attack will have on the run game teams won't be stacking the box daring us to throw on them. I liked how we used both Forte and Bush

 

Defensively, this was by far Jennings best day and I hope Tillman's injury isn't too severe and that it was more precautionary that he didn't return. When you say the slants that is one of GB's bread and butter plays and one that has been this teams achilles heel, teams that have had success against us have often slanted and screened us to death. Next week we are going to need to continue to improve our pressure from the middle but it will be critical to play smart on the edge and keep contain. I think we can get pressure on Rodgers. And we saw today what happens when you keep pressure on. GB's line is not that great, and their run game is non existent (has been for years). If we can get pressure with our front four I think we can hold GB's offense down. They'll make plays and they'll score but I think we hold them in check and we now have an offense that will give our D a rest, and the weight of keeping the team in the game will not rest fully on the D as it has in years past. It's a whole new ball game and we have the makings of a very potent offense that teams will have to contend with.
