He played a better 2nd half but my, God. This guy looked awful. The play where Rodgers got hurt he nearly got put in Rodgers lap smh. Surely he can’t be the long term solution at RG can he? That just shows how bad Spriggs and Murphy and depth on the online as a whole is. That spot has to be addressed in the off season if he looks like that next week. The guy looked like the African American version of Don Barclay

Murphy is hurt and Spriggs is purely a tackle.

Observation I've made. 3 of Aaron's 4 IR stints (I don't remember how he broke his foot) have been due to the right side of the line, Bulaga was in the game if I remember correctly on all 3 injuries. 2 in the pocket, 1 outside the pocket. Now I'm not blaming Bulaga directly, I'm just starting to think Aaron's jinxed with the right side of his O-Line.

your opinion is your opinion, bro. This is mines.

But you said that you're going to stand by that statement "until proven otherwise." How can someone disprove your opinion?

It's weird to me that a fan of a team in the same division as the pansy Detroit Lions would think his team is the softest in the league.

Rodgers got hurt because Lane Taylor handed Roy Robertson-Harris off to Corey Linsley on a stunt and Linsley fell down, giving Robertson-Harris a free run to go and fall on Rodgers' knee. It was a botched play by the LG and the C.

Bulaga had nothing to do with the hit that took Rodgers out last year. It had nothing to do with the OL in general. Rodgers was all the way out to the numbers by the time it happened. He held the ball waiting for a play to develop and paid for it.

The fact is we had no business winning this game but we did anyway. There’s nothing “soft” about coming back from a 20pt defecit and winning like we did in the home opener.
This win showed a lot of character. I’d say nearly every fan on both sides was stunned by what they saw Sunday night, including myself.
I think the Bears struggled some on Offense but overall they played a good game. Had the Bears not celebrated early and let off the gas we’d be 0-1. That Bears Defense has improved markedly.

Who is soft?

Mike Daniels ain’t soft. Kenny Clark ain’t soft. Clay Matthews might be old and kinda suck, but he ain’t soft. Martinez ain’t soft. Tramon ain’t soft. Brice ain’t soft. Bakh ain’t soft. Cobb ain’t soft. Bulaga, Taylor, Linsley, they aren’t soft. Adams isn’t soft. Rodgers isn’t soft.

So who’s so soft that it makes us the softest team? You want your opinion, that’s fine. Back it up. Name names, give reasons.

I had a different take on things. I think the Bears coming out like a house on fire on both offense and defense gave the overall impression that they played a good game. But if you get past their first impression, their offense was horrendous after the first two drives. Just absolutely pitiful. On their final 8 drives, I have Trubisky at 2.6 yards per attempt. 2.6! And the defense looked great until Rodgers got back and stopped holding the ball so long. Then he made their secondary look horrible. Allison smoked Kyle Fuller, Cobb beat Eddie Jackson for his 75 yard score, and Adams made Amukamara look ridiculous. I personally think the Bears are going to largely suck and all the talk about their offseason improvements will amount to very little progress. But I guess we will see.

He had more than a couple plays where he looked like he had no business being out there that's for sure.

Agree. Linsley has been a disappointment IMO. Was touted as super strong but I don't see it. I'd love to see the Packers use 2-3 picks at OL next draft, maybe load up in rounds 3-7.

I do think a couple of the Packers Cheerleaders were a little soft. Need to lay off the cheese curds ladies.

That was both sexist and fat shaming in one sentence. I'm tired of being PC at the moment.

The Packers are soft because they can’t do anything without Aaron Rodgers. Nobody else can rally the troops if we lose Rodgers..not even MM...and that is why I say that. As fans we shouldn’t see the ENTIRE season go down the drain in game one because Rodgers got carted off. I’m referring to mental softness andnyoure talking about physical.

The Packers struggle without Rodgers because the backups either aren't ready, aren't good, or both. I think that's a failure on the FO's part to not go after a veteran backup. Also because when nearly 20% of your cap space is summed up in one player, it's hard to overcome his loss. I don't see how one ties this to a lack of toughness.

Just imagine if the Packers had tied up a large percentage of the cap in Mack as well ;)

Just out of curiosity, what team has the most cap space tied up in just 2 players? Falcons with Ryan and Julio?

It would create the potential for a big, big problem. However, just like it's worth paying Rodgers despite the risk of losing a huge chunk of the cap, it would have been worth paying Mack if we could have gotten him from Oakland for a reasonable price.

Interesting question. If we go just by 2018 cap hit, the biggest combo is actually San Francisco's Jimmy G (37M) and Joe Staley (10.89M) for a total of 47.89M.

I agree that with the Packers being 1-0 it would be premature to give up on this season.

Since when is a linemen in GB “purely” a tackle, guard, or center? They all have to be interchangeable you know that.

That's solely true for the backups though.

That's bold and false.

Remember Wahle? College tackle. Was drafted as a tackle. And stuck to high hell at tackle. They moved him to guard and he excelled.

Likewise, are you going to tell me Marco Rivera would have survived at any spot besides RG?

Body types, skillsets, and even mentality is different up and down the line.

Depending on the player and the offense they're in, some players can be plugged around. Other can't. Bhak would be a pretty terrible guard and a worse center. He's too tall and would give up leverage.
