***TNF: Green Bay @ Chicago Game Thread*** Football's Back!

Britt in VA : 9/5/2019 3:13 pm
Green Bay is a three point dog at Chicago so basically a pick em'.

I'm curious to see what Green Bay's offense looks like now that McCarthy has been replaced with Coach Rodgers.

excited to see Montgomery for Chicago. He's been the talk of the town over there
I guess Green Bay's defense is supposed to be dramatically improved.  
Britt in VA : 9/5/2019 3:16 pm : link
They spent a lot of money there.

The Green Bay Rodge is unable to win a game all by himself is usually a good time for me. Go Bears
A 3-point spread isn't a pick 'em.  
Mr. Bungle : 9/5/2019 3:32 pm : link
The Bears need to cover that 3, not just win.

I like them to cover that 3, though.

I sure hope so. Heard nothing but good things about him in preseason write ups and went all in with him on my different fantasy teams. Nagy has gone out of his way to praise him and according to reports they held him back in the preseason so he can be the feature back in the season.

You don't typically hear that type of hype on a third round pick, but I am drinking the kool aid!
I have Adams of GB and Montgomery of da'bears in fantasy

ryanmkeane : 9/5/2019 3:38 pm : link
i did the same - Nagy was the OC for Hunt's rookie year in KC and used him in all sorts of creative ways. Thinking they found a similar back in Montgomery without the baggage
The Pack D has Goodson playing at ILB  
ChicagoMarty : 9/5/2019 3:45 pm : link
How good can they be?

Can Da Bears D sustain their terrific turnover production?

We will see!
ryan  
figgy2989 : 9/5/2019 3:48 pm : link
You know what, I didn't even realize that and it makes a ton of sense. Montgomery is a similar style runner to Hunt.

That would be some shit if Montgomery bursts onto the scene like Hunt did in 2017.
Just gotta feeling...

Better team than GB, so a "pick em" -3 at home is wrong.

Should also come out motivated and hungry after the way they lost the playoff game last year. Watch as their kicker done goof up again!

GB may have spent some money on D but they are still dead last in the league in cap space devoted to defense, and their top six cap hits are on offense.

Giants are in a virtual tie for the 29-31 spots in least cap space devoted to defense. Packers are the only team that is a clear notch below, 32 out of 32.

true, but i'll say this. Rodgers takes good gambles. He knows the matchup, knows the size / speed advantages, better than any QB... maybe ever. That's his super power. if he's throwing it up for grabs he usually knows his guy has position and some advantage that gives him a big edge.

I'd say he's highly talented, but coaches don't want or need that even if it's only 10% true.

Dan Snyder has been notorious at times with letting star players go past their coaches and speak directly to him...so ownership is responsible too if they're allowing that to happen.

I hear what you are saying. But let's be clear, Rodgers is better than highly talented. He's an all-time great. You don't think Brady talks to Kraft? A lot of teams would kill for Aaron Rodgers and most coaches would be thrilled to coach him.

Of course. I agree. But Nagy was supposed to super charge this offense. He's the genius young gun in the mold of McVay. But this looks boring and predictable.

which used to be what the preseason was for. But nobody plays in preseason anymore, so this is what you get in Week 1.

I think they should use those 3 RBs even more and take the ball out of Trubisky's hands.

The defenses have been more fun to watch. GBs secondary is pretty good, and the Bears pass rush is ridiculous. Bears offense looks pretty boring, but yeah first two weeks of football tend to be like this. Trubisky is real meh to me, cant believe he was a #1 pick.

Rodgers had an elite arm for college, he would barely wind up, just fling it. Lynch was something, carrying people just like he did in the pro's even though he was a freshman. You could see he would be great.

That was a good team. They were ranked #4 at the time.

justafan : 9/5/2019 11:43 pm : link
I basically didn't watch the second half until the last 4 minutes. Trubisky looks like shit. I'd be livid if I was a Bears fan, holding Rodgers to 10 points and still losing. It seems the Bears will never have a good QB, though there still is time for Trubisky I guess, but that last INT was an awful throw into double-coverage when he still had another down to go.

Trubisky is a mercurial QB that had one of his bad games and it is Week 1...but I really think the GB D can be one off the best in the league. They have made huge upgrades in the offseason. First at DC as Pettine has kind of been forgotten but is one of the better coordinators in the league. Then at the pass rush, overpaying for the two biggest names but immediately injecting life into a dormant pass rush. Most importantly, a unit overlooked by most fans, in the secondary. Their top 3 corners last year were two rookies and a 2nd year player/first year starter coming off the IR. They also replaced the worst starting safeties in the league with top FA in Adrian Amos and a 1st round rookie that is getting a ton of buzz as a potential elite S in Savage. They're the real deal.
I know Trubisky is not that good,

Thought Nagy said it'd be a RBBC. Cohen was basically a slot receiver, Davis seemed to play passing downs.

i think he has more problems than just being a terrible decision maker (which is of course totally true). He may have ok arm strength but he is an inaccurate passer. yes he hits the occasional impressive throw, but he is highly inaccurate to all fields, he is as likely to throw a shit pass as a good one. And he does not look to have great pocket presence to me. He often looks rattled and it seems many times the game is too fast for him. He does move well but often he looks bad standing in the pocket.

i guess based on last night i don't agree about pocket awareness being good. yes he moves well but he often looks frazzled standing in the pocket, often when it doesnt seem warranted, and he rushes throws which contribute to his accuracy problems.
I thought his presence was on display last night, he slides around  
Zeke's Alibi : 9/6/2019 3:45 pm : link
pocket seamlessly. He never looks frazzled. His decision making is just dogshit whether he is being pressure or not.
Saquon Barkley-Tarik Cohen  
jacob12 : 9/6/2019 7:04 pm : link
Barkley is much bigger and faster than Cohen. On Saquon's 78-yard touchdown run against the Redskins, he reached a top speed of 21.91 miles per hour, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Barleys touchdown run goes down as the fastest speed reached by any player on a rushing touchdown during the 2018 NFL season. Saquon was the third-fastest player in the NFL last year. Cohen was not ranked.

Many players run extraordinarily fast 40-yard dash times but are not among the fastest NFL players. John Ross is an egregious example.

Barkley is a singular talent.

Barkley is not much faster than Cohen. Cohen also had a 70 yd run that exceeded 21mph. Barkley is much bigger, yes, but not much faster.
