Live game blog: Packers vs. Chicago Bears

Join Tom Silverstein for updates, analysis and lively discussion as the Green Bay Packers take on the Chicago Bears at noon CST Sunday at Lambeau Field.

3rd & 7 37yd

Stats-wise they're about equal. I have not watched enough Bears games to know how he has played, but the Bears seem happy with him and Packers seem happy with Amos.

Tom, any chance we try and exploit the middle today with a running back?

by Bamabadger65 12/15/2019 5:51:11 PM
Yes, with both Bears ILBs out, you can bet they're going to try to run a lot of play-action and leak backs out of the backfield and force them to cover.

by Tom Silverstein 12/15/2019 5:51:45 PM
Tom, even with a good running game last week we will struggled badly passing the ball. If even the running game can't open up the passing game, is there hope for the playoffs? I think we need to work on the passing game from here on out.

If you can run the ball, you can win. Washington worked hard to stop the run early and then dropped eight on third downs. If they continue to run the ball like that, good things will happen to them.

Did you already touch on Goodson being out?

by AZ 12/15/2019 5:52:39 PM
Yes, please scroll down. But to recap, I think Burks will play a lot and be a spy on Trubisky as well as help cover Tarik Cohen out of the backfield.

Hi Tom, Checking in from N.J. Look forward to great game and blog! Thanks for your work.

Do you think Packers should put in a claim for Suggs?

by CLPackerBacker 12/15/2019 5:53:16 PM
No. They're pretty set at OLB.

by Tom Silverstein 12/15/2019 5:53:27 PM
Tom, who is your surprise impact player for today? Offense or defense or both?

by BradR 12/15/2019 5:53:36 PM
I think Tonyan or Sternberger might have a big game on offense. Defense, I think Tramon Williams is going to have a key pick.

Tom, will Bears immediately pick on King today?

by Bamabadger65 12/15/2019 5:54:25 PM
Don't know if he's starting.

by Tom Silverstein 12/15/2019 5:54:32 PM
Tom, do you think Kevin King get another contract given that he is so injury prone?

by Jim Del Gaizo 12/15/2019 5:54:36 PM
He's got another year to go. They'll see where he's at after next year.

by Tom Silverstein 12/15/2019 5:54:51 PM
Tom, talk me out of my tree please. I feel a 31-20 game, Bears, with Trubisky getting 4+ first downs with this legs, the Bears establishing the run and hitting a couple long passes to Robinson. I just don't feel good about this game with the Bears as desparate as they are and lady fortune being on GB most of the season.

by Tom from CA 12/15/2019 5:55:02 PM
Stay warm up there.

by Tom Silverstein 12/15/2019 5:55:08 PM
Greetings from Sunny Scottsdale... coffee or hot chocolate Tom? Do you thk J Williams might exceed A Jones and even be over 100 yds today?

by AZBadger 12/15/2019 5:55:13 PM
I drank a ton of coffee on the drive up. I'm trying to dry out.

Our son's are there using my brothers season tickets bought in the 1950's by our aunt & uncle from Appleton. One son from Ft. Worth & Packer fan, other son from Kalamazoo & Bears fan.

Tom, interesting comparison between HaHa & Amos in your article.....stats are alike but HaHa is playing on a prove-it deal after almost playing himself out of the league, while Amos plays like a pro even after getting paid. I say if HHCD got paid, he'd be laying down.

by Luvsteel 12/15/2019 5:55:42 PM
Tom - Better LB - Martinez or Hawk?

by Jim Del Gaizo 12/15/2019 5:55:47 PM
I would take Martinez.

by Tom Silverstein 12/15/2019 5:55:50 PM
Tom, How can you say Gute’s Drafts thus far have been very good? Gary is a backup for two high priced free agents, Burks cant play ILB, Josh Jackson is playing out of position, Moore was a waste at WR

by GRIDIRONCoach 12/15/2019 5:56:01 PM
You just cherry-picked five guys and failed to mention Jaire Alexander, Darnell Savage, Elgton Jenkins, JK Scott, Hunter Bradley, ESB, MVS. And the book is still out on Gary. After he has shoulder surgery we'll see.

OK, national anthem.

I didn’t know Gary was having shoulder surgery. Is that public knowledge or insider?

by PeteT 12/15/2019 5:59:47 PM
Well, that's what we were told before the season, that it was probable. But no, that's not official.

Bears call tails. It's heads. Packers win and defer. Bears will receive.

Tom- you still need a coffee maker? Get the new Keurig Duo- brews full pots and single cups! Great deal at Target today. Go Pack Go!

Please email me suggestions. Our coffee maker is kaput in our office at Lambeau Field. We're getting desperate.
