Official Packers vs Bears Brett's return

[Pokerbrat2000]

M. Bennett ruled out for tomorrow's game

Have to say, that is good news for the Packers Defense who have struggled to contain TE's this year! Now let's just hope that Zach Miller doesn't have a break out career performance!

Packers injury report:

Probably everybody but the guys listed as out plays, although with a hip injury I'd prefer to sit Hyde.

The way Tretter played vs. the Vikings I would be fine with sitting Linsley as well.

Looks like Janis will be returning the one kickoff of the game by the Bears

True, but long term, I prefer Linsely's physical strength.

Linsley has struggled this season with blown assignments and maybe some bad protection calls. Tretter on the other hand was impressive on Sunday and even if he doesn't possess Linsley's strength I would be fine with playing him at the moment.

Tretter looked fine -for one game. Hopefully that continues as long as he's needed. Linsely did it for a whole season, and like Lacy, I'm confident he'll turn things around.

Don't forget that Tretter was pencilled in as the starter during the 2014 offseason before he lost the job to Linsley because of an injury. The Packers are convinced that guy is capable of being a quality center.

Either way, a nice problem to have.

 

[yooperpackfan]

Over the course of 191 games between the Packers and the Bears, the Packers have outscored the Bears by an average of 0.157 points per game.
Don't look for a blowout.

I've heard that kicked around a lot here in NE Wisconsin. Most people forget though that Tretter was essentially a rookie too. Though he had been on the squad the prior year, he was on I.R. and never played. I remember sitting at camp with my son and telling him that before the end of the season, Linsley would be the starting center. It just came along a little quicker than I anticipated.

Boy ... I'd bet the Bears would just LOVE to muck this day up for the Packers, the Packers organization and its fans....

I certainly hope the Pack are mentally prepared for a tough game.

With a win tonight the Packers would tie the all-time series vs. the Bears for the first time since 1933.

Also, wouldn't it be their first Thanksgiving win at home in something over 80 years?

 

[Half Empty]

Let's start with - how many Thanksgiving home games have they played?

Don't know, and I can't recall where I saw this mentioned. A guess? Maybe 2 or 3?

Having just been possessed by Captain WIMM, I looked it up.
In 1923, the Packers defeated the Hammond Pros, 19-0 in their only other Thanksgiving home game until now.

Ah, the beauty of statistics.

Here, here!

Co Worker: Are you going to watch the Packer game tomorrow?

Me: Does a Bear cry on the field?

The 2 greatest QBs in Packer history being honored tonight. Heres a thought does Rodgers maybe have a chip on his shoulders tonight to go out and prove he is the greatest in Packer history and really try to light up the Bears tonight in front of Brett Bart and the rest of the nation.

That would work for me!
I'm pumped!
