Up-and-Down Run 'D' Faces Big Challenge

Posted December 20, 2012 on gnb.scout.com
PLAYERS: Chris Johnson
TEAMS: Chicago Bears
Chris Johnson is the best big-play back in NFL history. After a slow start and despite running behind an offensive line ruined by injuries, he has shown flashes of the 2,000-yard rusher he was in 2009. Speaking of flashes, Green Bay's defense showed flashes of greatness against the Bears.

Oh Tee Hee, Pointedly Altered Jay Cutler Jersey

Via Kissing Suzy Kolber  |  December 19, 2012
This is a banner week for Packers fans being dicks to their NFC North rivals. While this Packers fan’s alteration of a Jay Cutler jersey isn’t quite as great as the Packers fan photobomb of a Vikings couple at Lambeau, it does involve making fun of Jay Cutler and that’s worth something. Anyway, some dude took a Jay Cutler jersey and made it into a Pick-Six jersey. It’s funny...

Last week: 10 (+0) Record: 8-6 Net points per drive: 0.31 (9th) DVOA: 18.9% (6th) Weighted DVOA: 17.0% (6th) I detailed the Giants/Bears battle for the 6th seed in the Giants’ write up.

Five Players to Watch: Week 16

Via Bears Backer  |  December 20, 2012
After starting the season 7-1, the Chicago Bears have been in a free fall, winning just one game in their last six. The offense has continued to sputter while, not as dominate as it was earlier in the season, the defense continues to put the team in a position to win. With just two games left, the Bears will likely need to win out and have some help along the way if they want to...

Packers Playbook (aka Hobbjective Analysis): Week 15 at Chicago Bears

Via AllGreenBayPackers.com  |  December 21, 2012
So special teams is one of those things that no fan knows about but we all love to gripe about.  For instance, other than the kicker, punter, long snapper and gunner, do you know the name of any other position?  I sure don’t but I will yell at the screen when the guy misses a block.  This is essentially what happened during the “punt, pass and puke” play as quoted by Drew...
