Remember folks, it was “just one game” … just one goddamn glorious game.

I'm looking forward to reading the Chicago papers tomorrow...

me likey

All Chicago Bears fans are officially on suicide watch!

Yes, Quay did an amazing job on the interception but you also need to credit the blocking!!

Hoping Vegas lost a lot of money on that spread. We have things to clean up and we can't be taking dumb penalties go forward, but it is hard not to be extremely happy with this result.

The Bears are a bad football team.
It was over when the Bears went for it on 4th down on their 1st possession.
Fields has not improved at all.
Love looked good, calm, and in control.
They have some spice.
The Defense couldn't have had a better opponent to start the season.
I still cannot get on board with double-digit wins, yet.

I LOVED the way Wyatt hustled and played. That kid is SO quick he's going to be a big problem for opposing offenses.

Good luck to Aaron Jones and Quay Walker. I think I saw Reed on the hands team AFTER he limped off on one foot. I thought I saw his heal get kicked so I hope that's all it was and he walked it off.

Note to MLF... When Aaron Jones leads your offense down the field on the first TD drive (First drive of season) and then you keep going 3 and out, put him in FASTER!

We scored over 30 on offense, we scored a defensive TD, and we kind of crushed their spirit a little bit.....they were on the sideline with that "WTF?" look on their face. I think it's one of the best openers we've ever had.

If we can duplicate this in Atlanta, we'll be 2-0.

Chicago ran more times, for more yards, than we did. But if you're one of those Old School guys that think that points are more important than yards on the ground, then continue to believe that. II think other things on defense are more important than stuffing the run, and I'll continue to believe that.

Hope quay and Jones get back soon. Because Jones catching balls for this team, (which we've all been screaming for, for years) will be a big part of this offense.rodgers always wanted to throw him 59 yard bombs and Jones would drop them cus they were tough catches sometimes, but love will just hit him in space and let Jones do the work. Team ball.

So fun to be a Packers fan and not be a Bears fan. Here’s to hoping injuries to Reed and Jones were not serious. My gosh we got a pass rush! Loved Clark sniffing out the screen LVN taking down Fields, and Wyatt’s sack and just general mayhem.

What a best case scenario victory.
Offense, defense and special teams all were dominant.
I think Love has poise and an arm, he may not be bound for Canton, but he's not a backup.

#TheBearsStillDo

If it's too early to say jordan owns the bears, can we at least say he made a solid downpayment?

“The coaching staff… to… lose at home… this coaching staff is a goddamn shame! I don’t know what the hell they were doin’ out there. This coaching staff has got to go!”

Chicago Sports radio call-in at 6:52 pm.

Fanfreakingtastic!!!!

Nice work, Packers! Onto Week 2 in ATL.

some things to clean up for next week , Dillon needs to keep his legs churning , nice to finally see a rotation on the D line instead of watching Lowery and Lancaster all game what a great concept .

Cant really ask much more of Love. We survived some rookie drops. We showed we could stop the run.

The Bears rarely looked capable of scoring enough points. We weren’t really tested deep or by a serious dual threat, but that isn’t our fault. Fields is Taysom Hill if he’s lucky. But a 123 QB rating and a win is something to build on and celebrate. Next year the Bears may be picking a QB really early.

Thursday night I came away with the feeling there just might be a real football team in Dee-Troit. There's a real team in Green Bay, too.

I enjoyed watching this win over the Bears much more than the wins last year. Justin Fields is a talented, slippery MFer. Like Nagler said, don't minimize this win.

I liked our intensity and physicality. The pads were popping! And, we put up 38, ffs!

So happy for Jordan Love and his family.

The Bears still suck!

Finally, something real to talk about. This game was a lot of fun. Bears didn't look that bad to start so I was pleased we were ahead. Maybe the team confidence grew and we just took over all around. In the end, Bears and Fields did not look that good. So let's see how we do next week before celebrating too much. I am still not a believer in Love being the next HOF'er but he did a lot to calm my concerns. I am not a fan of his motion/release and he overthrew 2 TD's. I was expecting an INT or 2 so I'm very relieved. He certainly seems like he has command of the game and made some very good throws. A lot of team plays to be happy about.
Maybe it's a bit too early (!!) but I was kidding with some friends up here (I'm in NY area) that a Packers - Jets Superbowl would be absolutely nuts!

Are the Packers really this good or are the Bears really that bad?........ Yes to both!

The CheeseheadTV T Shirt, my son gave me last year is not coming off anytime soon. See you in Lambeau next time Bears! Lmao

Great way to start the new era and the new season.

First win of the season - Check!
Firstt win as an NFL starter for Love - Check!
First Extra Point made by Carlson - Check!
First FG made by Carlson -Check!

Always good to get the first of the season and a career out of the way.

Great games by Aaron Jones, Romeo Doubs and Jordan Love. Strong game for the defense.

This just the first game of the season and it was against a lowly Bears teams. Nevertheless I was impressed with how the Packers dominated the second half against the Bears.

It was a good, solid victory. Now we need to carry on and keep it going against Atlanta next week. Go Pack Go! Thanks, Since '61

I am liking this new chapter in Packer history. Not that I didn't enjoy the 30 years of two HOF quarterbacks, but I got tired of having my hopes set high, only to have them too often dashed by playoff disappointments.

This season I am free of any such expectations, and have just mostly curiosity for what kind of product the Packers will put on the field. After one (and yes, I know it's just one) game, I like what I see. It wasn't perfect but the offense, defense, special teams, and coaching all looked good today against the Bears. More than anything else I sense a vibe, an intangible feeling, that this team has chemistry and character.

Special kudos to 1) Jordan Love for passing his first test. He made a few errant throws, but many more good ones. More than anything else, his poise and decision making was excellent. 2) MLF for acknowledging that he under utilized Aaron Jones in the first half and 3) Jones for producing. 4) Doubs for some elite receiving skills. 5) The young Packer pass rush for making Fields' life hell. 6) Alexander and Douglas for their physical play. 7) Quay Walker for an incredible pick six. 8) Carlson for a solid debut. 9) The Bears for sucking as always.

Big win! Now all my Bear relatives will remain quiet. Love seeing Nessy track down Fields.

*poot*

HELL YEAH WOOOOOOO!!!!

Great first win at our hated rival's stadium. Love was cool. calm, collected.

Not much negative to say about the Packer performance.

Here's my first game two cents:

Who can't appreciate Love's first game as the man... He now Owns the Bears!
Meyers was bad in the first half
Ford was bad all game
Wicks play like a rookie/nothing "purdy in his game today"
Reed had your typical rookie game, believe he will be okay after he got helped off the field
MLF, please get rid of the horizontal sideline pass (and Never to Dillion)
Please have Wilson dressed next week, losing faith in Dillion, ankle tackles take him down
Lastly Savage was his typical Savage Roller Coaster

Never thought I'd state this... "Nothing bad to say about Barry! Good aggressive D!"

GPG!!!!!!

"I still can't believe the play where Love fumbled the snap, had it bounce right back to him and then chucked it up to a wide open Musgrave. '

Exactly how they drew it up. ;)
...including almost overthrowing him.
...and this was without the guy they supposedly needed to stretch defenses (Watson).

Plenty of good...plenty of stuff to fix. All told: 1-0 this week is all that matters (and MIN dropping a conference game at home even when Kark fed the ball to their all-world WR all day was **chef's kiss**)

Love seemed to settle in after apparent butterflies in the early going. It's always good to see improvement. And speaking of improvement, the defense looked pretty solid during the game. Still some poor tackling, but overall, it looks like they picked up where they left off last year. Also, the entire team seemed to play with more attitude than I've seen in years. Punch us in the mouth? Expect to lose a few teeth. LaFleur even seemed to understand the importance of getting the ball to Jones more, and letting him create. There also seemed to be a very large drop in production when Jones hurt his hamstring. Dillon did his best, but he was being hit behind or at the line almost every carry. Still, a win is a win. And getting off to a fast start in the first game? Priceless.

A good start, but lets not forget two things. this was only one game and "the Bears still suck!"

These aren't the same old Bears--they're worse. Talk about a lack of offensive adjustments on their part--they might want to consider opening things up a bit if they're interested in winning. If it wasn't for Fields' incredible elusiveness, the game would have been even more one-sided.

Enough of that. We converted a majority of our third downs and all of our red zone opportunities. They did not because our defense came ready to play, resulting in only three third down conversions. We did not turn the ball over. They did thanks to great efforts by our two 2022 first round picks. Savage had 10 tackles, 5 solo, including a nice one in the backfield.

Love delivered when it mattered, period. Carlson, despite a couple of short kickoffs, was accurate between the goalposts.

There were some poor penalties, rookie mistakes, and a couple of strange offensive calls, but they'll be covered later. For a team fielding so many young and inexperienced players, I don't think we could have hoped for a better opening performance by the Packers.

A good start, but lets not forget two things. this was only one game and "the Bears still suck!"

Dillon didn't impress anywhere near Jones. MLF played Dillon way to much in the 1st half.

We've got a quarterback, we've got a tight end, we've got a kicker, we've got special teams, we've got a defense and Bearville is already weeping.

Everything is right with the world.

I was expecting a close game and a narrow Packer win, and that's what it was looking like for awhile, and then the Packers just started crushing them. It started with the field goal just before halftime.

The defense was supposed to be more aggressive this year, and they were! Even when their aggressiveness got them burned a couple of times, they did not let up.

The Bears offense looked just as feeble as last year. Even when they were way behind in the third quarter, they were just handing the ball off and throwing short passes. It's frustrating to play against running QBs, but it seems like those QB runs, even when they are successful, disrupt the continuity of the offense. The Bears never got into a flow except on that one TD drive in the third quarter.

How refreshing to watch our QB run the coach's offense. He wasn't trying to force things as Rodgers so often did. And Love is so CALM. He never looked flustered, although it helped that he never faced much of a pass rush. The O-line was dominant in pass protection today.

Love only threw 27 passes, and only completed 15. And we scored over 30.

Four of his completions were to Doubs, in five targets. Doubs caught two TDs in those four receptions, and had two other key 3rd down receptions to keep a drive alive. He, along with Endzone
Jones, really powered the revival.

Do you know how many times Jones touched the ball today? He had 9 carries and 2 receptions in four targets before he left injured. So that's 11 touches, for 127 yards and 2 TDs. That's nearly incomprehensible. Dillon and Taylor hauled it less than 40 yards in 18 carries. Let's keep Jones healthy.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Meanwhile, back at the peach plantation, I've been scouting Atlanta and will be attending the game. Atlanta, today, struggled with mighty Carolina until the 4th quarter when two successful drives ended the game. I'm not sure Atlanta is any better than the Bears at this point. Mariotta is the QB, Pitts is the passing target at TE, and they've added Bijan Robinson. I don't see why they'd be considered a bigger offensive challenge than the Bears.

How about them rooks:

Jayden Reed: 2 catches/48 yards. 3 punt returns/54yds. Remind anyone of a young Randall Cobb?
Luke Musgrave: 3 catches/50 yards.
LVN: 2 tackles/1 sack
Anders Carlson: 52yd FG/ 5/5 XP

Looks like a bright future!

What a game for Jordan Love. Cool, calm, controlled. Ice water in his veins. Field General. We have QB!

I am going to watch Colin Cowherd's show tomorrow to see what dish of crow he is served. He better eat it!

And do I love the Packer Big Men. Our OL and DL/EDGE just wore the Bears down. Love had clean pockets most of the afternoon...and the pressure on Fields was relentless. Getting stops on run downs and forcing Fields to pass was perfect!

In Rich we Trust! Carlson was as Bisaccia advertised. Whelan is a field flipper and a good holder to boot!

Viking lose, Packers win. Both teams delivered on my weekly desire.

FUN GAME- Next-

I was surprised to see Lukas Van Ness out on the field early and often. He was active and even got a sack!

"To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their women."

What's not to like about the 2023 season opener?

Games are won or lost in the trenches
The packers lines both on offense and defense played well.

A great start to the season.

I enjoyed it, gonna enjoy it.

That was a bad Bears team that played a very bad game.

The D line was great.

Jayden Reed played well in his debut but he made a cramp look like he had been shot in the leg by a shotgun.

Everyone loves Aj Dillon cause he's the nicest guy in the world but he has to step it up. If Jones has any sort of injury that requires weeks off here, Dillon needs to really show out or he's done for and might end up going down the depth chart.

It was only the Bears but it was fun. On to the next.

I agree with everyone about everything! The game was just so fun! This was a coming out party for so many young talented players. Yes, and no surprise....Jordan Love is a hell of a good QB, and he is only 24 years of age. The Packers appear to have extended the 30 years of QB excellence.

The game ball should definitely go to Brian Gutey! He selected Jordan Love in 2020 and was lambasted continuously for over 3-years for that selection. Gutey put up with public attacks from our previous star QB. His every move is over analyzed & questioned, yet he has assembled the NFL's youngest team with talent after the departure of our previous QB. With possibly an extra #1 selection once again in 2024 (make it a big body in the trenches) this team will be screaming talent. What a bright future with a whole lot of possibilities for us Packer fans.

Yes, Jordan Love is for real, and Gutey should get a game ball!

In case there was any misunderstanding the Packers still own the Bears!

Dillion should watch tape of the late John Brockington's running style. Emulating the power of the Brockington high knee kick might help stop him from going down with just a swipe at his ankles. MLF, please activate E. Wilson next Sunday.

Tom Grossi for the WIN!!!

"Oh, Bears fans, don't worry! There's still an Aaron in Green Bay who owns you!!!"

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
