The Packers are getting manhandled up front... pretty pathetic performance.

Big early game and they lay an egg.

I'm having a hard time caring about the bears season.  It doesn't seem like they care.  Brenan and Dixon were availble in the 5th round and instead we took some CB who will probably never start.  How do you not pick up a qb in that spot? 

Lucky if we go 8 and 8. 

Packers are pretty good, probably 4th best team in the NFC.

IAmMarquette

Packers were overmatched tonight, along both the offensive and defensive lines... It's great that you can hold TO to 2 catches and less than 20 yards, but Miles Freaking Austin? Really?... Packers offensive ineptitude didn't do the defense any favors... Marion Barber is a grown-ass man...

I predicted 9-7 for Chicago because their defense is showing signs of returning to form of 2-3 seasons ago. If the D can't hold up though, it could be a much tougher year.

HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS


;)


I have to say this now because we'll choke again when the playoffs come around.

Congrats Chicos.. two in a row.. we need to figure you guys out - ugh!  Let's have a rematch when we get our o-line straightened out, deal?  How about for the NFC Championship?  8-)

Try to make sure Roy Williams is healthy and in the lineup too.  Most Cowboy fans down here believe him being out makes the team stronger and I tend to agree.

Hope your son didn't take this loss as hard as last year's.

You packer fans and your confidence.  Just wait when you lose the division and barely make it in as a wild card team.

2 in a row and 11 of the last 13.   ;)

I've been off the Williams band wagon for a LONG time.  He can't cover anyone.

Seriously. Can someone tackle anyone tackle before the Linebackers?

so, anyone want to revise their perdictions?  I think that the teams are closer than i did two weeks ago.

I'll change the Packers to 10-6.  I think everything else stays the same in the division.

I'm starting to worry that the entire NFC North will be a cakewalk come January.  :(

The entire NFC North will bow to the NFC east and all its superiority.

Yea I never thought I'd be saying first place chicago bears 5 games into the season. Could easily have been 5-0!

losing Jenkins was huge.  The bears might now be the front runner.  Ugh!

Pack 12-4 10-6
Bears 9-7 10-6
Vikes 7-9
Lions 6-10 2-14


Updated. With the NFC East as deep as it is, the only playoff team from the North will be the division winner. I'm not ready to crown one right now.
-The Bears have looked good. Solid running game, strong D, Orton playing well and not making the killer mistake(s) that Grossman was making.
-The Packers haven't looked good lately, but they're too talented to just roll over. They'll need to hang in there until they get healthier (except of course for Cullen Jenkins).
-The Vikings should be 1-4, but the Saints just really didn't want to win that game on Monday.
-The Lions are just awful. I'd call them the worst team in the NFL, but I'm afraid doing so would be a great disservice to the Rams.

Losing Jenkins was an absolute killer. He had been the Pack's best pass rusher/defensive lineman over the first 4 weeks.

I continue to be impressed with Rodgers, who gutted it out on a bum shoulder this week, and will do so again at Seattle. The only time it clearly hindered him was on the throw he one-hopped to a wide-open (and I mean WIDE. OPEN. I had the perfect angle from my seat--pretty much in-line with Rodgers and Jennings on that play) Greg Jennings. The late INT was a mistake and a killer but it's hard to fault a guy who throws for 300+ and 3TDs.

How about stopping the run? Or preventing conversions on 3rd&8 and 3rd&9 during the same possession? Or committing fewer penalties? Aside from the Cowboys game, the Packers losses have been largely (though not entirely) the result of self-inflicted wounds.

The schedule the rest of the way does the Packers no favors, and seems to do the Bears many favors. Packers schedule is brutal with only the Texans and Lions as gimmes. Having to go to both Jacksonville and Tennessee, while the Bears get both in Chicago is tough.
