It's Bears/Packers week and it's December. So, naturally the current accuweather forecast for kick-off looks like this: Clear and Sunny 11 degrees 10 MPH winds with gusts up to 15 MPH and wind chill temps in the single digits.
I am rather scared because I actually feel good about this game. Bears fans are going to pick the Packers because of Rodgers and bad memories. But that man has been declining slowly for a while now and it's really beginning to show. This is the Aaron Rodgers we held to 10 points at home. The Aaron Rodgers who has been carried to most of his victories by the run game this year.
DISCLAIMER: I don't think there's ever been a better QB than prime Rodgers and I picked GB to win the SB in pre-season.
Stop Aaron Jones and the run game? We really should win this game so long as the offense doesn't revert back to its horrendous pre-Thanksgiving form. Akiem Hicks being back will help in this endeavor and in freeing up Mack/the pass rush to get to Rodgers. Who has just been taking an insane amount of unnecessary sacks.
This is a GB team that is really fortunate to be where it is. 10-3 with a +36 point differential doesn't lie. You're lucky. They got handed their home game vs Detroit. They lost to Philly and were decimated by LAC. They got to play KC with Matt Moore. They suck by Carolina by one yard. They were embarrassed on national TV vs San Francisco. We gave up 10 points to them and lost due to our own ineptitude that we all hope to have grown from a bit since Week 1. Their defense is bad. Their passing game has very much underwhelmed.
Last week, they managed to escape the mighty Washington Redskins at home.
Look at their games that they've struggled in offensively. CHI, PHI, DET, LAC, SF... They all have the same thing in common. Aaron Jones failed to accomplish anything. Stop him (and Williams too) you stop this offense. It's rather clear.
At times, I've been called a traitor for years because of my praise for Rodgers and this team. Not this year. This team much more closely resembles a team with our record than 10-3.
I think the luck runs out, starting Sunday and then if that happens. Probably again in Minnesota for them.
But I do get it... Rodgers has beat us like a red-headed step-child. Psychologically it may be difficult to stop that. And I'm sure there's some magic left in the old man. Somewhere.
