Week 1 - Packers @ Bears Thread

Ours doesn't seem that big today. That's a good sign.

This is pretty good pregame stuff by Greg Gabriel on "The Barroom Network."

Lorin Cox says same thing.  Bears are stronger in the so-called “skill” positions than in the trenches.  I worry about the entire DL and the middle of the OL.

With Jenkins out and Whitehair back to guard with Patrick at center, our run blocking is probably not going to be as good.  On top of that Nate Davis (I guess he really DOES exist) will be at RG after missing summer camp and almost all of the preseason.   And on top of that we have a greener than a gourd rookie starting his very 1st NFL game - ever - at RT.  There is not enough Kool Aid for me to feel comfy with that in the Green Bay Packers opener. 

I hope it all works out okay.  But I would be shocked if the OL is clicking and getting it done in this first game.  It could be a Chinese fire drill to watch.  If it is a total fail at pass protection too - well, it's gonna be a butt ugly day for the offense.  Fields will be roadkill and the ball will be turned over early and often... I picture him getting hurried and throwing picks.  

I hope I am wrong.  But if the OL is bad, well, the game is bad.
