Thursday Preview: Bears at Packers

And as if that wasn’t big enough, the Packers will be unveiling former quarterback Brett Favre’s name and retired No. 4 on the north facade inside the stadium at halftime. Even though their playoff chances are slim, a win at Green Bay would give them a huge confidence boost, especially given their lack of success versus divisional foes lately.

When: Thursday, 8:30 p.m. EST. I’m disappointed in our performance, but I’m not discouraged about our future. “The biggest thing we have to do is just continue to win games and as long as we do that I think everything else will take care of itself”.

Young took advantage of expanded playing time in last Sunday’s loss to the Broncos, recording his second sack of the season along with four tackles and one tackle-for-loss while being on the field for 41 of 69 snaps.

Players are off Tuesday but likely to watch film on their own.

“I talked to them this morning about (moving on mentally)”, Zimmer said.

Jeffery has been limited to five games due to various injuries and sat out Sunday’s 17-15 home defeat to Denver with groin and shoulder injuries. QB Aaron Rodgers is 13-3 in career against Bears, including postseason. “We can’t change anything or try to do too much”.

“They score to cut it to six and we had a good response there”, Rodgers said. Pittsburgh (58) has been assessed the second-lowest total.

In that game he had two catches for 26 yards but did draw a critical pass interference call that allowed the Bears to get their first touchdown of the game in the final minute. “Maybe you don’t [call a timeout] with a guy like Rodgers. We can forget what happened and he deserve all the accolades bestowed upon him”, Dan Dunn says, who is welcoming Favre back. And, of course, they still have Aaron Rodgers. “And I could have made a better call on the third down”.
