2. The Packers are pretty banged up in the secondary. How will the Pack line up on Thursday night? Can Brian Hoyer and the Bears passing attack take advantage of the battered Packers secondary?

You will likely see a strong dose of Demetrius Goodson and LaDarius Gunter. Sam Shields is officially on the IR and both Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins are dealing with injuries. If there is ever a week for Brian Hoyer to take advantage of, it’s definitely this week. Look for the Packers to apply heavy pressure from Clay Matthews, Nick Perry and Kyler Fackrell to compensate for the depleted secondary.

3. It looks like the Bears will be without Josh Sitton on Thursday night after suffering an ankle injury late in the last game. He’s been really outstanding since being a surprise cut by the Packers. What happened between the Sitton and the Packers? In hindsight, do you think they regret the move?

It depends on what you want to believe with Sitton. Was he last in the terms of upcoming contract negotiations, maybe. Was he on overly expressive veteran in a fairly young locker room, maybe. Some reports even have him saying completely unearthly things to Davante Adams. I honestly have no idea why they released him. Do they regret it? Absolutely not.

Lane Taylor could be the unsung MVP of this team. The struggles of Aaron Rodgers has nothing to do with the line play. At times it looks like Rodgers could make a sandwich and still get off a pass. This is not to mention the cap space it saved. Too bad he might miss his homecoming.
