    and the slim postseason hopes for this team are about to flatline. The Packers
    continue to struggle on third downs, going 3-for-7 in the first half, and they
    have been stuck with terrible field position most of the afternoon at Soldier
    Field. That, combined with an early injury to running back Aaron Jones and a
    depleted defense, has led to a two-possession deficit at the break.The Bears
    struck first, as Jordan Howard split the Packers’ defense up the middle for a
    touchdown run. The Packers pulled within 7-3 with a Mason Crosby field goal, but
    the Bears put up another score late in the second quarter as Tarik Cohen found
    the pylon. A late Hail Mary attempt from Aaron Rodgers hit Davante Adams in the
    hands, but he could not haul in the football and it fell incomplete. The Packers
    will receive to start the third quarter.Rodgers is 9-of-14 passing for 92 yards,
    while Jamaal Williams leads the team in both rushing and receiving. He has six
    carries for 29 yards plus a pair of receptions for 34 yards.If the Packers do
    lose this game, they would need the Minnesota Vikings to lose to the Miami
    Dolphins Davante

    to stay mathematically alive for the postseason. However, Minnesota leads Miami
    21-10 at the half of that game.Join us in the comments for the remainder of
    today’s game.Game Updates from APC StaffA Twitter List by acmepackingco Game
    Updates from Packers MediaA Twitter List by TexWestern Bricks. Lots of
    bricks.During practices in 2016 and 2017, the Green Bay Packers’ wide receivers
    could be spotted catching bricks on the sidelines. That is not a metaphor for
    bad throws from the team’s quarterbacks; it means the players were literally
    catching bricks during slow practice periods, in an effort to improve their grip
    strength.The man behind that drill was Luke Getsy, who served as the team’s wide
    receivers coach in those two seasons after spending two years as a quality
    control assistant. Getsy left Green Bay prior to 2018, taking a job as offensive
    coordinator at Mississippi State University. That job offer came from new MSU
    head coach Joe Moorhead, who wore several hats (including coordinator and QBs
    coach) at Akron when Getsy was the Zips’ starting quarterback in 2005 and
    2006.However, a report on Thursday suggests that the Packers and new head coach
    Matt LaFleur are trying to lure Getsy back to Green Bay. Tom Silverstein of
    Packersnews.com has the news, saying that the Packers have “strong interest” in
    re-hiring Getsy Josh
    Jones Color Rush Jersey
    , though he provides no details on what role they
    have in mind for him.With Getsy as the OC, the Bulldogs had a strong season
    offensively in 2018, averaging nearly 400 yards per game including nearly 225
    per game on the ground. Dual-threat quarterback Nick Fitzgerald was a big part
    of that, with over 1,100 rushing yards, while the team ended the season with
    three different players reaching the 500-yard mark on the ground. However, they
    did struggle to throw the ball, totaling just 2,259 yards through the air all
    year, due in part to a lack of receiving weapons.Would Getsy accept a position
    on Green Bay’s staff if he were simply offered his old job as wide receivers
    coach? That would seem to be a step backward for him and would make little
    sense https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/David-Bakhtiari-Jersey ,
    particularly given his personal connection to Moorhead. However, if a title like
    offensive pass game coordinator were on the table, that could make the move back
    North more understandable. In that role, Getsy would get to work with former
    pupils like Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison, but he also could help LaFleur
    and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett work with Aaron Rodgers.One thing
    appears certain: if Getsy does return, the Packers would be getting a highly
    respected assistant back in their building who already has good relationships
    with key players on the team. Now the question becomes whether he’s willing to
    make the move back to Green Bay after one year away.
