  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
  Adams Jersey , plus a loss by either Philadelphia or Washington, in order
  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

  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.
