There's an advantage here: Our new coach is actually unscouted.

 

Except that time as the OC of the Packers and HC of the Dolphins.

McCarthy has been calling all the plays.  And making the in-game decisions.  And setting the game plans.

It started already last week!  You know, that game you didn't watch.  The offense was getting plays called and getting to the line with 10 seconds on the clock.  That never happened with McCarthy at the helm.

The offense has already started looking different, and better, and getting rhythm, for the first time all season.  I'd venture to say it is because there is a new coach.  And I'd say he's in a position to bring some unscouted looks and game plans for this team, with this quarterback, that are pretty dang far removed from what he did at Miami.   

I hope you are right, but let's not forget it was Atlanta in GB in Dec last week.

But it was Arizona in GB in Dec the week before.

It looked like a new offense for the first series last week. But then the old habits and tendencies crept back in. 

Which ones?  The right side of the Oline folding on every play?

Yep, which led to the inevitable drive ending 7 yard sacks on 3rd and 2.

Line moved from -5 to -6.

Nobody thinks the Pack can win

Assuming that the Packers don’t pull off the upset this week, do you play AR for the last two games????

I'll be interested to see how often we use the two back set.  It's pretty obvious that Williams is the better blocker and Jones is the better runner, but having them both on the field I would think keeps the bears in a base defense. It gives us more options in the screen game as well. 

2WR, 1TE, 2 RB set might allow us the best combination of players for blocking and quick throws.  But what do I know?

More than Moss and Zook.

Maybe the first quarter of each game, then let Kizer/Boyle get some reps. 

You will have to ask Aaron...He will make that decision.

I hope Tonyan get's more than three snaps Sunday. Tired of watching Graham trying to get open on a bad knee then trying to catch a ball with a broken thumb.

Would like to see M. Lewis knock Mack on his ass then head out into the flat to move the chains.  Think that'll happen?

Brak & I wish we had William Henderson still around to knock Mack on his ass. And then hurdle him during a 1st down run. 

ahhhh, #  33 was a beast!!!!!

Per Billy Joe Shaver,

I'll believe it when I see it

and I haven't seen it yet.

Not certain Philbin called the offensive plays as HC in Miami. In fact, I'd venture to say he didn't.

TBSS!!

Hot Take - Spriggs has breakout game against Khalil Mack/Leonard Floyd.  Holds down the starting RT spot for a few years.

I'll have some of what you're having, PLVA!
  

Spriggs might be worse than when Wahle tried to play LT.  No, I'm pretty sure he is.

Any religious types in the audience?

Despite the gaping holes in this team I still think they can pull off a win.  I'm sure Rodgers is going to be motivated not to get smoked everytime he drops back so I'm sure the gameplan will be interesting.  The other thing is despite the front 7 of Chicago, the Packers ran the ball pretty damn well.  Granted, they'll have to run away from Spriggs this time.  Maybe they'll even use his utter collapse to spring a surprise screen on the right side.

JC Tretter sure would be looking really ****ing good about now.

Why do you think Aaron is going to be motivated for this game???  He’s had damn near the whole season to be motivated and look what’s happened.....I hope they win, but for Aaron to be just motivated for this game is kinda silly to me.   

He wants to be motivated by something other than Goldie.

Brett Favre motivated himself.

He didn't..... he said prior to last week's game that the last time he called plays was 20 years ago at Northeastern University

Not sure which years he was there but around 20 years ago......yikes

Yes, but snapping the ball sooner.   It was the same shit except the d wasn't able to to time the snap with the play clock hitting 0 simultaneously 85% of the time.

Read option?   Not a bad idea, make him think and react instead of dominate the man in front of him.

No, it was because you can't live on the short passing game all game.  You get in WRs faces and flood the short route passing lanes.  You have to be able to do something else.

Going to have to make some big plays. Philbin said in his presser that it is unrealistic to think you are going to make 30 First downs vs. this defense

I think they will make 31.  

Are you referring to 3 and outs?

He is a cancer without a doubt.  

Let me go all Chickenhead on you here and tell you reread the post.  That and face reality.  The "sandlot" and "Rodgers is a cancer" crowd is pretty frickin' hilarious. 

It coudn't be this is a team in flux and Rodgers simply couldn't put the whole team on his back anymore, especially buried under a pile of opposing defensive linemen. 

Here's a silver lining.  As soon as the talent levels are replenished, Rodgers doesn't have to worry about the defense anymore.  That is if Murphy doesn't **** up the coaching search.

What?  Other teams figure out what you're doing and then you have to do something else?  

I thought the riddle of offense was like 256-bit encryption?
