The Packers traded Samkon Gado to get Morency.  The Packers needed a third-down type running back, and Morency fits the bill.  Morency is much faster than Gado who couldn’t handle that type of role.

I wonder if this is a panic move by the Packers.  At some point Koren Robinson is going to be suspended for a year.  There’s no doubting his ability as a football player.  Robinson will help the Packers from day one, but it will only be for a little while.

The Bears absolutely blasted the hapless Packers on Sunday.  Brett Favre probably wished he would have retired as he had a rough day.  Favre completed 15 of 29 passes (51.7%) for 170 yards and 2 pick-offs.  It was nice to see Ahman Green have a good game as he rushed for 110 yards on 20 carries (5.5 ypc) and he caught 3 passes for 22 yards.  WR Donald Driver also had a good game catching 7 passes for 96 yards (13.7 avg).

LB Nick Barnett looked like the only defensive player that thought their was a game on Sunday as he had 9 tackles.  The Packers held the Bears to an average of 3.0 yards per carry, but 109 yards rushing.  The Bears completed 19 of 27 passes (70.4%) for 252 net yards passing.

I took great pleasure in watching the Bears destroy the Packers. I want to tell the Packer fans the glory days of Brett is gone. Good luck in 2010.

The Chicago Bears really didn’t improve their offense one bit in the off-season, which surprised me a little bit.  The Bears will try to attack the Packers defense with Thomas Jones, but the Packers defense will be alot tougher to run on this season.  Rookie AJ Hawk will be all over the field sticking the Bears running backs.  The Bears will try to throw the ball downfield, but Mushin Muhammad will be doubled until one of the Bears young receivers steps up.  Grossman needs to prove that he’s a leader and make good throws against the suspect secondary of the Packers.

The Bears have a great defense.  The Packers will have a healthy backfield for the first time in awhile and it should really help Brett Favre.  The Packers will attempt to run Ahman Green and Samkon Gado right at the Bears to nullify the Bears speed advantage.  Donald Driver and rookie Greg Jennings will catch some passes against the Bears who will try to keep them if front of them.

I can’t pick a winner here.  My first intuition is to pick the Bears, but, Brett Favre is light years better than Rex Grossman and gives the Packers a decent shot to win this game.
