Packers vs. Bears Preview: Win and Get In

            It all comes down to this.

            In a rebuilding season that’s had its ups and downs, the Packers have a shot to clinch a playoff spot this Sunday at home in Lambeau Field against the Chicago Bears. Does it get any sweeter than that?

            No, it doesn’t. Because beating the Bears is one of the best feelings on earth, let alone possibly beating them to get into the dance. This game isn’t going to be as easy as you may think. The Bears have improved a lot since the beating the Packers served up to them in week one. Defensively, the Packers have to worry about Montez Sweat who the Bears acquired from the Commanders in a trade this season. The Bears are 4-1 in their last five games and are currently on a two-game winning streak.

            Offensively, Justin Fields is obviously a problem. He’s athletic and can use his legs to extend plays long enough to find a hole in the defense. Fields has played well as of recently for the Bears and the city of Chicago has rallied behind him. Alongside Fields is DJ Moore who can beat guys deep for big plays as he’s proven all season. The Packers locked down Moore in week one and hopefully, we’ll see more of the same this Sunday.

            The injury report ahead of this game is endless. As of now for the Packers, they will be without AJ Dillon and Rudy Ford. Isaiah McDuffie is listed as doubtful with a neck/concussion injury. Christian Watson is listed as questionable after not participating in practice on Friday following two straight days of practice. Matt LaFleur said they wanted to give him the day and see where he is come game time on Sunday.

            However, Jordan Love will have a variety of weapons at his disposal on Sunday. Aaron Jones, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks…I mean the list just goes on. Love has shown his ability to spread the ball around and I expect we’ll see more of that on Sunday.

            The Packers are in the same position as they were at the end of last season. Facing a divisional opponent with nothing to lose, they can’t make the same mistake twice. I do think the Lions were a better team last season at this point and had a better coach than Matt “Dweberflus”.

            This game won’t be a cakewalk by any means, but I have a lot of confidence in this team this time around compared to last season. The youth on this team is a big reason, this team is energized and ready to prove something after being written off this season. Plus, it’s the Bears, who the Packers have not lost to at home since 2015.

            Win and get in baby, let’s beat the Bears! Also, here is a little throwback to the last time the Packers played the Bears with a playoff spot on the line. Oh the good ole days.

The Injury Bug is Bad in Green Bay

Image
  The Injury Bug is Bad in Green Bay                It’s early, but through four games the Packers have had multiple injuries that have hurt them early this 2023 NFL season.             For starters, the loss of David Bakhtiari to IR is a killer. Unfortunately, most Packer fans could see it coming from a mile away. His injury at the end of the 2020 season seems to be a career killer to what could have been a clear-cut hall-of-fame career.             Other offensive line injuries have hurt the Packers as well, Elgton Jenkins is expected to miss a few games with a knee injury after exiting week 2 against Atlanta. Zach Tom, who has performed well for the Packers early, is also dealing with a knee injury. These injuries are another indicator as to why the Packers have struggled to run the football early. Of course, Aaron Jones playing only one full game hurts, but these offensive line injuries need to end quickly if the Packers expect to win more games. Continuing with the offense, Christ

The Packers Destroyed the Vikings on SNF

(Photo via Evan Siegle on packers.com)             I have two words for you…Jayden Reed!             What an impressive performance from the green and gold in primetime against the Vikings. They dominated in every aspect of this game as they should’ve. Jayden Reed is easily the steal of the draft this season and this game proved it even more. The connection between Love and Reed is something special, and the future looks very bright for the Packers. . @jordan3love ➡️ @JaydenReed5 for the TD! #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/8QRr5RCyv7 — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 THAT'S A @jordan3love TD! 🏃💨 #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/mnNyZGdKJO — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 ANOTHER @JaydenReed5 TD! #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/FT58FpKFbq — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 Capping off a 91-yard drive!

Packers vs. 49ers Preview: Prepare for a Matt LaFleur Masterclass

Image
  Can the Green Bay Packers do it again? Can they shock the entire nation by beating the San Francisco 49ers at home? It’s going to be a tall task and a lot of things are going to need to go their way. However, as we’ve seen this season, any team is beatable.             The 49ers are an absolute wagon and as of recent history, they’ve dominated the Packers in the playoffs. However, we’re not here to dwell on the past, we’re here looking forward to the future as the Packers themselves have done this season. They battled back from a 3-6 record and are now one of the hottest teams in the NFL following their 4 th  win in a row against the Dallas Cowboys last weekend. The Packers are 0-4 in their last four playoff games against the 49ers. Aaron Jones: "It's not about the past. It's about the future and what we're about to do right now." pic.twitter.com/eoQfRXlx9g — Adriana Torres (@TorresAdrianaTV) January 18, 2024             I could say the Packers don’t have a sho
