We would also have accepted Jeff Janis! as a valid answer.

And perhaps it's time to give Jamal some quality reps at RB. The Packers need more out of their running game then Ty is giving them.
Geez Maneez. this is not going to end well for Rodgers or the packers. Bears should rush two and put the rest in coverage. Or rush 10 and put one in coverage. Hopefully the defense can show up for Green Bay
Rolling AR out frequently might also be wise. Best way to deal with it is with a potent running game and they've not shown to date they're capable of that.
Do they really try to have a potent running game?
We're going to see 2TE all night long, it's the only way the can threaten pass and protect Rodgers if they actually do pass.

Ty needs more out of his OL than they are giving him.
AR said the best option is not to max protect but to flood the pattern.
Ty might go for 100 plus receiving yards tomorrow.
Last years TNF bears game was Ty's 1st as the RB. I think he led the team in rec'pts that night. *edit* he had 10, Adams had 13, Cobb with 11, and Nelson w/ 1
Ty ran for 160 last year in GB against Chicago, yes?
At CHI, yes.
In GB he had 9 for 60 to go with his 10 catches for 66.
More Ty tomorrow night please. With a steady dose of Williams at RB. I'd love to see Aaron Jones as well tomorrow. No tape. No tendencies. Just yards.
Can not get behind in down / distance in this one. Will be important to get positive plays on First down. Give 2 TE look with Bennett early, if he continues to look "disinterested" scrap it to get more speed on the field with Nelson, Adams, Cobb, & Geronimo. Defense has got to force some turnovers.
I hope they run a few more screen plays to slow down the pass rush. Also some jet sweeps and maybe even throw in a reverse or 2. I know the Pack usually don't do this but we really need to slow down the pass rush and gives the Bores something to think about.
The Bores are plenty stout defending the rush, giving up about 3.5 yds/per, and haven't allowed a 20 yard run thus far. Surprisingly, they've given up 3 TDs, so I suspect they may be vulnerable in the red zone.
Both defenses are fairly similar defending the pass, with the Pack having a slight edge in sacks and yds/game average. If Arod can actually get some passes off, he should torch 'em easily enough.
Ditto for the scoring defenses; we give up 22.3/ per, 23.0 for them. Kicking game could loom big.
Offensively, the Bares are all rush and no pass. No big surprise there, but I think we will play much better vs the rush than what we have the last 2 games. I'd like to see Jones play the nitro role, and get Burnett back at S with HHCD. Having either of them in that role has affected the play of both of them, and not for the better.
They aren't scoring much despite piling up rushing yards, averaging slightly over 2 TDs/game, so playing with a lead will be imperative. We average 1 TD more per game, and that should be the difference in this game.

I thought Ty was really weak in pass protection, that might have frustrated me more
Tomorrow is just win. Whatever it takes. Just get to 3-1 then take 10 days off.
Just win baby!
I feel better about this week than I did about Cinncy game. I think we will play with more emotion
Considering who the tackles are, it could be a lot of crying.
Worth noting:
Glennon has to play better. The Bears have to -- at the very least -- give the illusion they can occasionally challenge a team downfield.
Look at Sunday’s numbers.
Glennon attempted only four passes that traveled 10 or more yards downfield versus the Steelers, according to ESPN Stats & Information. One was complete to Zach Miller, three were incomplete, and two of those three were negated by penalty.
After halftime, Glennon did not attempt a single pass 10 or more yards downfield. His longest throw traveled just 9 yards.
Via ESPN Stats & Information, Glennon has attempted two passes (1.9 percent) that traveled 20-plus yards downfield this season, fewest in the league -- these numbers do not include any passes that may have been negated by penalties.
The league average for quarterbacks is 9.8 passes (10.4 percent) of 20-plus yards downfield through three weeks. New England’s Tom Brady and Cleveland’s DeShone Kizer each have attempted 21 such throws in 2017.
Glennon’s 5.51 air yards per attempt are second-fewest in the league; only Baltimore’s Joe Flacco (5.33) is lower.
None of those statistics bodes well moving forward. The Bears can’t expect to rush for 200-plus yards every week. The quarterback position will eventually have to win some games.
I'm going to be highly upset if the Packers blow this game vs. the Bears.
Even with 2 tackles from depths of NFL Europe.
**** Duh Be@rz, now & forever
As far as Glennon, it has to be the play calling. I seem to remember him launching some deep balls on a regular basis in Tampa.
The Bears have no one at WR worth a shi*. Bob McGinn was on local radio this week and said it's stunning just how bad these WR's are. Granted, a lot of it is due to injury, but he thought that's the reason Glennon has thrown virtually nothing downfield.
Minus House, the Packers should be able to cover well with a nearly 100 percent healthy secondary. They should also have no issues stacking the box either.
Dare Glennon to throw deep. So far this season, he simply hasn't.

That's an option. Go 5 wide and rely on AR to manage the pocket. I imagine Bears are wise enough to spy him if they do that.
I think it's too risky. I'd prefer to go old school and try and play to the strengths of the replacement tackles and tight ends. That's road grading
Packers will have to use more of the quick passing game, more double TEs to chip the edge, more chips from RBs. All you can do, really.

Zach seems to know Bak ain't going tomorrow.
I hope they run a few more screen plays to slow down the pass rush. Also some jet sweeps and maybe even throw in a reverse or 2.
You can't do a lot of the "fancy" stuff with a patchwork OL. Especially the screens. That takes practice reps and everybody working together enough so they move as one unit. Can't really expect that considering the circumstances.
Just get through the game without getting Rodgers hurt for the year. We don't have anybody on the roster who ever played tackle in the NFL, absent the new guy we just signed who has been here two days. Could see a 6-3 game.
Could see a Bears 61-7 beat down too.
But we won't.
given Glennon and the lack of downfield threat, if we don't stack the box and dare them to beat us with the pass I'm going to go find Dom and steal his hair.
I also think tonite would be the perfect time for some shenanigans on STs like a fake punt.
and to support and reiterate - JUST WIN!

Yep. I'd be throwing all RBs at them on a constant rotation with a good dose of Ripkowski.
play to the strengths of the replacement tackles
We don't really know what those are, right?
I don't see us being able to run on their front 7 unless they play a very light box to defend the pass. I don't think they will plan to do that though, betting that they can rush 4 & AR will not have enough time to get the ball down the field. Receiver's YAC will be important.
