I think the offense will have a much better showing than the last two outings. They're first two games were against top ten units so having mixed results isn't that disheartening when you think about it.
San Fran's defense is currently ranked number 3 but our guys were able to come back and score nineteen unanswered point to take the win. The 49ers offense struggling game one due to the weather and Trey Lances inexperience worked out in our favor.
PukeGreen Bay was different story. As of this week, its D is at eight. The combination of a division rival who faces the good guys twice a year and knows the team; having a Hall of Fame QB and a D in the top ten proved to be a tall order Sun.
Hous is near the bottom at nineteen and I think Fields will have a field day (no pun intended) running all over them like Hulkamania leaving their unit wondering what they're going to do?
+1 We're playing the Texans at just the right time. The Bears need an easier opponent. They are installing all new schemes on O, D & STs. The first two teams they faced this year were pretty tough matchups for a new roster of youngsters with all new coaches & schemes. And landing at Lambeau for a primetime game 2 on top of all that. I think this 3rd game at home against the Texans is perfect. I'm not saying it will be an easy game. I don't expect that. But we should see solid improvement.
And welcome to the messageboard!!! Mighty glad you are here.

This game is about the Bears getting the run going and trying to get a lead. I think it'll be a tough game, but if the Bears can run the ball, we can hopefully see a better all around game from Fields. I think he will run some plays between himself and Monty in the first half and then if they can get up, and have success in the running game, then hopefully Fields can show a wider range of his pocket presence and progressions. We don't have exceptional wide receivers/tight ends but that doesn't stop Fields throwing the ball to them. Both he and the WR/TEs need to step up at some point to be counted.
According to research data on NFL hamstring severe strains, players miss an average of 2.6 games but can take up to 6 months. It’s somewhat encouraging that V. Jones is “doubtful” but it may still take longer than we’d like.
