The one I am afraid of losing is Horsted.  He would make the tight end a devastating offensive position that we haven't had since we traded Greg Olsen a few years ago.

The system didn't know how to use him at that time, but this system will make Horsted a star if they can keep him.

If you are a Pack/Rodgers fan you might not want to watch Thursday. IMHO there is blood in the air. There is a lot of pent up emotion stored up from last year.

Stayed up last night and watched the Packer/Bears opener from last season...just the first half.

Aaron will keep it close and will pull out a win if the Bears don’t bring their A game.

Biggest change on Bears offense and biggest unknown is at running back - Bears are swapping Montgomery (and Davis) for Howard.  Of course Burton's availability could force another lineup change.  And last year in the first game the Bears started Kush at LG, but Daniels replaced him in the 2nd meeting.  Receivers are pretty much the same but I'd expect Wimms to get more playing time replacing Bellamy's snaps.  Just don't know how much Patterson will be incorporated.

We still don't know what to expect from the new guys in the secondary.  Clinton-Dix and Buster Skrine are experienced but still don't know how and when they will mesh with our secondary.  Everyone else is pretty much the same.  Bears might want to dress all the d-lineman and OLBs Thursday since it will be their first snaps of the season.

Packers are pretty much the same on offense.  They have a new RG and Marquez Valdes-Scantling replaces Cobb.  Allison is the 3rd guy, but the guy I fear the most aside from Rodgers is Davante Adams.

Packers defense has a lot of changes.  Two new safeties Amos and 1st round pick Darnell Savage.  And the 2 pass rush FAs Smiths, Za'Darius and Preston.  And I don't know who replaces the doubtful ILB Oren Burks.

Going to guess there's going to be some mistakes from both teams without playing starters in the preseason. But if Bears put the foot to the throat of the Pack, there can be no letting up at all. Do not want to see a repeat of that first game. Put em in the ground, put a bolder over and sit on the bolder!

I believe Trey Burton is out. Groin strain.


"When Burton missed Sunday’s practice with a mild groin strain he suffered last week — unrelated to the sports hernia surgery he underwent in the spring, according to the team — alarm bells went off. The Packers are coming to town, and an important weapon for the offense was a spectator for the first practice of game week.

But when the Bears took the practice field Monday afternoon, there was No. 80, participating in a limited role.

“Yeah so the mild groin strain was last week,” Matt Nagy said. “It’s just one of those things that it could have happened to anybody. It is what it is. It happened to him. Now..."

Rip off Rodgers leg this time and beat him with it!

One game at a time. 

If you listen to the media you'll get yourself all worked up for nothing.  Media's goal is not reporting accuracy but generating attention.
