Rodgers really is the difference for the Packers.  As long as he is on top of his game and healthy, they will be at worst average.  Packer fans are extremely spoiled.  It will be interesting once Rodgers retires.

Brady is about 38 so that could mean another 6 or 7  years of Rodgers.

I know we have a lot of holes but a good pass rush would help slow down Rodgers.

Packrat a couple things.

Fox said the reason the Bears did not run from the 3 was because the Packers had the box stacked to stop the run. 

Another thing is the Packers forced the Bears into nickel defense the entire game due to the spread offense and number of receivers.  This kept them out of the 3-4 for the majority of the game. 

I suspect the Packers will do this to a lot of teams since they have Rodgers and Lacey.  Having a good RB and a great QB gives an offense so many options.  The Packers have a fantastic offense their defense is mediocre at best.  Lose Rodgers and the Packers are the worst team in the league. 

If the Bears lose Cutler they might improve.   

Good observations, Peke. You and dallas  both picked up several good points.

The Bears played very well.  I expect them to play even better as the season wears on and the players mesh with a good coaching staff.  That game will become tougher for GB in the future.  I'm enjoying this while I can.

I also expect the GB defense to play better when Guion, Sean Richardson, and Sam Barrington are  back in the lineup and the young DBs gain some experience.  A  fast start is not nearly as important as a strong finish.

Before long, we will be enjoying the good old days of Chi-GB blood-baths.

Sam Barrington
AP

Third-year Packers linebacker Sam Barrington could be lost for the season with an ankle injury he apparently aggravated in last weekend’s season opener. Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com was first to report that the Packers fear Barrington is done for the season...

Crap.  What next?  Jake Ryan better learn fast.

Vic, I’ll take a hard-fought victory over a clean loss any day of the week. Especially when you consider it was against a division rival on the road. That’s a good win. Our defense had a fantastic game. If you remove that offside penalty on the field goal, the Bears would have only had 19 points.

It was something less than fantastic, but more than acceptable. In today’s game, if you’ve held the opposing quarterback to a 67.5 passer rating, you’ve accomplished something. That game was a potential schedule-maker’s ambush, and the Packers got out of Dodge with a win. That’s good enough for me.

I’m guessing teams feed the press on Sundays. How’s the food at Lambeau compared to spreads offered at other stadiums?

Lambeau Field’s press box is in the top five. Soldier Field might lead the league in friendliness. Everywhere you go, an attendant says hello and wants to talk. An elevator door opens and a Marimba band begins to play. I actually like the spaceship look, and I’ve learned to deal with the mail-slot view the press box offers. I would offer only one bit of advice: Put out a jar of peanut butter and a loaf of bread; it would be an improvement.

Ndamukong Suh may be a good player, but there is no room in this league for a player who insists on bullying and taking cheap shots at others. Being a great player means you should great on every down, regardless of the outcome. Your thoughts?

I’m a forgiving man.

Vic, I'm confused. The Packers defeated the Bears, a division rival, and the Packers are the only NFC North team to record a victory, which means they are away to a fast start and they brushed off some rust, as September football often shows. How in the world is this a bad thing? After opening-day losses for several years, what is everyone’s problem?

They didn’t stop the run, the tackling was sloppy, there were too many penalties and there’s concern about possibly lacking a deep threat. We must have FULL CONSISTENCY!


LMAO.  True.  GB fans ARE spoiled.

Michael from Frankfort, KY

The changes in the Packers coaching seemed to display some much-needed improvement against the Bears. Vic, do you believe based on what we’ve seen and heard so far this trend will continue throughout the season?

Based on one game? Actually, I thought the Packers were pretty good last year. I thought they were the best team in the league. I’m not looking for a whole lot of improvement. I’ll gladly accept what they did last season, if they’ll promise to play a little better in the final 3:52. Folks, I think our expectations have become unrealistic. Take a look around. Do you see perfection anywhere? The Super Bowl-champion Patriots gave up a lot of rushing yards to the Steelers. The NFC-champion Seahawks are 0-1 and are dealing with a holdout by one of their best players. What team doesn’t have a weakness? What fan base is without concern? I think we need to stop worrying about what’s bad and start feeling good about winning.

Adam from Wausau, WI

Would you be open to adding a fourth-quarter stat for quarterbacks?

There is a fourth-quarter stat for quarterbacks, and Aaron Rodgers is No. 5 in the league with a 126.0 fourth-quarter passer rating. Jay Cutler is No. 14 with a 77.1. That was the difference in Sunday’s game.


True dat.

Vic, it seemed like the past few years Rodgers has been very conservative when it came to holding onto the ball and taking the sack. In this past game, it appeared as though he was a bit more risky about letting the ball go, one resulting in the spectacular one-handed catch from Lacy. Am I wrong in saying that?

First of all, if you put on a pair of gloves the players wear, you’d understand how not-so-fantastic one-handed catches are. Those gloves are so sticky they make that stuff Lester Hayes used look like hand lotion. Secondly, Rodgers expressed an element of regret in his postgame interview for having made that throw. He got away with it. It’s not something you want to make a habit of doing. I don’t know what it is about one-handed catches and hurdling tacklers that excite people so, but they almost always create an explosion of emotion, even in the press box. When Lacy made that catch on Sunday, the press box exploded. I thought it might’ve been a delayed reaction to the pregame meal.

I wouldn’t worry about that, yet.

Gregg from Springfield, IL

Vic, I’ve been reading the defense played in nickel and dime more often than base. If you’re primary goal is to stop the run, why wouldn’t you play base more often to have three big linemen up front instead of two?

Because in today’s game, stopping the pass is more important than stopping the run. That’s just the way it is. The old saying is you throw to score but you run to win. I don’t believe that’s true anymore. I would amend that old saying to read: You throw to win and you run to throw. Those words sadden me.
