Okay, so... Seattle

[richig07]

There's no real way of moving on from Sunday night. However, this is now day 3 "post-incident" and there's still too much season left to let it completely consume us. Unlike the other two big GB losses to Rodgers (2010 and 2013) this loss began our season. It didn't end it. We can at least put it aside for a bit...

At home on Monday Night, home opener... the team should be fired up for a variety of reasons (including being pissed off, I hope).

At the end of the day, if we can win this game and be sitting at 1-1 going into winnable matchups with Arizona/TB - I think we'd all have taken that a couple of weeks ago.

Outside of having a very good QB - I don't think Seattle matches up with us particularly well. They also will be without Doug Baldwin, whose a big difference maker with that offense. Their line struggles are well documented and I think we should be able to dominate the point of attack.

I also think Roquan gets more of a full-time gig this week and shadows Russell.

Defensively, the team simply isn't what it had been the past 5-6 years. Just surrendered 27 points and let up a 4th quarter lead to what should be sort of a middling Denver offense. Bennett, Chancellor, Sherman... these guys are all gone.

What will make all of us feel better more than anything is seeing Trubisky play a really good game. I think he has a shot at that.

Bottom line, I think Seattle is a one man show with their QB. A one dimensional team shouldn't beat us at home. We SHOULD find a way, IMO.

Bears 27
Seattle 16

Sattle isn't very good, Bears should notch a W.

I agree with the assessment. We should handle this game. Then again, still with a new team, new coach, added pressure to get a win in the home debut... there's potential for bed shitting here.

Would like to see Trubisky set loose. Let him challenge the defense down the field. Let him make plays by just playing football.

Defensively, the biggest thing is seeing some more edge rush presence from people not named Khalil Mack, and also getting Roquon out there to further pick up some experience.

Not one deep ball last week. Speedy receivers every where, and not once did they really try to take the top off that I recall?? Maybe one attempt early on?? I can't remember.

My biggest thing, is I wanna see them full throttle for 60 minutes. If they start fast again and get up early, I wanna see that killer instinct, where they just step on their fucking throats and put them away.

Had they scored one TD on any of the FGs last week, they would've won. Maybe even handily.

Yep. That missed pass to Robinson in the end zone and the 3rd and 1 call to Dion Sims stand out as missed opportunities.

The 3rd and 1 on our final drive with the lead to Gabriel was worse.

We needed one yard... GB was out of time outs. Howard was averaging 5.5 YPC and is typically very good in short yardage. We run some gimmick throwback screen to Gabriel. We could have kneeled it 3 times and gone home if we get one yard there.

I don't see why you don't just go for the win on 4th and 1 either. Either way you're giving the ball back to Rodgers and a TD wins. Ugh... so many opportunities to finish the game.

Whatever... moving on.
