Packers: Positives, negatives from win vs. Bears in season opener

The Packers won in a very non-Packers like way Thursday night to capture their first of the year.

Here are some positives and negatives from the win:

Positive: Preston Smith

Preston Smith was the exact type of free agent signing that GM Brian Gutekunst appears to love.

Trey Flowers, who may not be any better than Smith as an overall player, signed a far more lucrative deal with the Lions. Smith, on the other hand, signed for an expensive but manageable four-year, $52 million deal with only $16 million fully guaranteed.
