Packers defense seems like they're going to continue to struggle against the run. With the Bears having all their best WRs injured or banged up and Cutler at QB, the Packers dared the Bears to throw the ball as they loaded up against the run and the Packers still couldn't stop the run.

The Packers beat the Bears, but in the next couple of weeks the Packers have to face the Seahawks, Chiefs and Rams.... so the Packers defense are in trouble as they're about to face even better running games, with even more powerful OL whom have competent QBs...



I think it needs to be mention that SS Morgan Burnett is one of the Packers best run defenders was out... but still the Packers defense struggled a lot against the run.

There were some uncharacteristically bad performances (shields) coupled with/o 3 starters for parts if not all of the game. Seattle gave up 34 too.

Again, by no means am I saying I'm happy watching Cutler "disect" this defense.

2) The penalties made our defense look a lot worse than it was.
3) It was the first game of the year. Let's not panic.
4) Who gets cut this week?
