TOPIC: The Hall of Fame game will be fans fir

What (not who) to watch in the HOF game st taste of football after a long offseason full of excitement and anticipation.Unfortunately Youth Allen Robinson II Jersey , it is also a preseason game, right up there with the fourth preseason game, as the worst of the bunch, with many starters being held out and tons of backup and end-of-roster guys getting long looks. It usually more closely resembles a low-level college game than an NFL game.However, that shouldn’t be a fly in any starved football fan’s bowl of Cheerios. There’s still plenty of interesting things to keep an eye on.OffenseMitchell Trubisky may not even see the field tonight to give fans a brief glimpse of where he’s at in processing this new offense, but his back ups, Chase Daniel and Tyler Bray, should get long looks.Both back ups have spent a good amount of time in Matt Nagy’s offense and that means they should command it pretty well. So, even without a game plan, playcalling could be relatively open, unless the coaches really want to reserve what’s on film.Keep an eye on formations and personnel. Reports from camp say that there has been a ton of substitutions and personnel packages. Tonight will be the first shot at getting a look at how certain position groups are used (see TEs, RBs) as well as how they line up. Look out for lots of presnap motions and, of course, those “kill, kill, kill” calls and/or RPO looks after the snap.Tempo will be another thing to watch: will coaches want to go up tempo just to practice real game situations with play calls from the sideline and lining up with a ticking clock.DefensePreseason defenses are typically quite vanilla and there’s a good chance that doesn’t change much http://www.bearscheapstores.com/dion-sims-jersey-cheap , but playcalling could be worth watching here.Vic Fangio finally gets full say over his unit, after the past three seasons working under John Fox, where it was rumored the former coach meddled in the defensive calls.Will Fangio show different looks or personnel sets here? There’s certainly not going to be a ton of blitzing but there’s still some new wrinkles that might show up.Also watch out for the flags: how will these new helmet contact rules be called? Is it going to be a sloppy penalty-fest? The referees are the same ones that spent time with the Bears in Bourbonnais so there should be a level of familiarity there.Special teamsLots of the bottom of the roster players and UDFA guys will get a chance to make the squad in the third phase here. Check out Jacob Infante’s great series looking at some of those players. There’s also plenty of intrigue as this will be the first look at the new kickoff rules. Will players false start or are they used to now waiting until it’s kicked. Even downing the ball has changed.So dismiss the game as bad football all you want, but there is still plenty to learn about these new-look Chicago Bears in Canton tonight.Bears vs Packers: Live updates from the game Fourth QuarterAaron Rodgers does it again with the TD pass to Randal Cobb, Packers lead 24-23.A Codey Parkey field goal makes the score 23-17, Bears.

The Packers have been the class of the division in recent history, so it’s been a one-sided rivalry, but they have also gotten the better of the Vikings and Lions. When you have back-to-back Hall of Fame quarterbacks your chances to win are drastically increased. Since 1992 (Brett Favre’s first year as QB) through 2017 (Aaron Rodgers’ most recent season), the Packers have finished either 1st or 2nd in the NFC North* 20 times Youth Eric Kush Jersey , with two Super Bowl titles to boot. (*It was the NFC Central until 2001 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the fifth team.) In those 26 years, the Vikings have finished 1st or 2nd in the division 17 times. The Lions and the Bears were either 1st or 2nd in the division 6 different times during the Favre-Rodgers era. Vikings’ fans will tell you their most hated team is the Packers, and Lions’ fans hate the Bears. but Bears vs Packers is special. It’s a shame that the recent rivalry hasn’t been.Time, TV channel, and streaming infoDate: Sunday, September 9, 2018Time: 7:20 p.m. CT (Coverage starts at 6 p.m.)Location: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WisconsinTV: NBC Sports Sunday Night FootballAnnouncers: Al Michaels (play-by-play), Cris Collinsworth (analyst), Michele Tafoya (sidelines)Local Radio: WBBM 780 AM and 105.9 FM, and in Spanish on Latino Mix 93.5 FM and Univision 1200 AMOther Radio: Sirius XM, Tune-In, Westwood OneOnline: Game Pass and NBCsports.comMobile: Mobile ApplicationsWeather: 61 and clear at kickoff [NFL weather]Odds: Bears +7.0 [OddsShark]SB Nation Packers site: Acme Packing CompanyBears vs. Packers prediction: Bears 18.5 - Packers 24.5 via OddsharkJack’s Neat-O Stat of the Week:Latest articles from WCG:5 Questions with Acme Packing CompanyWeek 1 Game Preview: Bears vs. PackersBears vs Packers Injury Report5 Questions with WCG (From APC)WCG Predicts the 2018 NFL seasonOUR FANTASY FOOTBALL SECTION IS LEGITClick on our names to follow us on Twitter:WCG Contributors: Jeff Berckes; Patti Curl; Eric Christopher Duerrwaechter; Kev H; Sam Householder; Jacob Infante; Aaron Lemming; Andrew Link; Ken Mitchell; Steven Schweickert; Jack Silverstein; EJ Snyder; Lester Wiltfong, Jr.; Robert Zeglinski; Like us on Facebook.
