Well, there goes that.
Packers 56, Bears 3.
Not unless this is a fake report leaked by the Bears to Ian, in which case it's freaking genius.

Bakhtiari being out will hurt the Bears because now they will get even more conservative on D thinking they can get to Rodgers on 3rd downs and he will shred them.
Not saying they always need to blitz, but they do need balance on D and they will play like pussies. Just watch.

No chance with Nagy and Barone meddling with the play calls. They're gonna blow it.

"Even down their left tackle, I don't see a way they win."
And people whine when someone refers to a team as "we". ?

I liked the tweet I saw yesterday:
"Who is going to hold Khalil Mack all day, with David Bhaktari out?"

that doesn’t mean the packers defense is actually better than the bears. Time of possession plays a factor in that. GB’s defense is a major benefactor of its offense. When you’re always playing with a lead, it’s easy to pin the ears back and go get the QB. And it’s easier to play 20-25 min of defense a game, than it is to play 35-40 min of defense a game

Bears are much better in DVOA than the packers. Packers are about league average(Which I agree with). Bears are still top 10(Which I agree with).
DVOA is pretty much the only advanced statistic for ranking teams that I think has merit.

yeah, there’s far too many factors to simply look at yards allowed or PPG allowed to judge a defense
packers run defense is crap. They just rarely get exposed for it due to their offense allowing them to play with leads that cause opposing offenses to fall in love with just passing

Bears D did have some horrible games against the Lions Packers and Vikings in the 2nd half of the season. I don't think the defense is playing the same it was in the first half of the season. Hicks isn't the same after his hamstring injury and Jaylon isn't playing. They beat up on Houston and Jacksonville without their best RB so that's not saying much.

I don't want to have to rely on the Rams today, but it's just hard to imagine that this Bears team can knock off one of the best teams in football in a high stakes situation.
If they're going to win, I think they're going to have to jump on them early in the game to let GB know that this is going to be a slugfest. What absolutely cannot happen is exactly what happened early on in that 1st game with GB driving down the field for an opening TD. The defense is going to have to come to play and bring enough pressure to disrupt Rodgers' rhythm, and the offense is going to need to be able to run the ball effectively and protect the football.
My gut feeling is that it's somewhat close in the 1st half.. Something like 10-17 Packers, and then in the 2nd half, the Packers create more distance and turn this into another blowout.
My gut: 17-34, Packers
My heart: 27-24, Bears

yep. all about getting hot at the right time. For the first 11 games the Steelers looked unbeatable, now they look like a one and done playoff team.
