Packers @ Bears

No game thread?

Bears should stand a chance if Rwilliams, Barber, Harris are healthy. Offensive line will be much better at home.

Bears 23
Packers 20

My biggest concern is FO at RT. I hate having him in as a starter. I expect a lot of tight end help on the right side.

Seems like the Pakers are a little dinged up - Clay Mathews seems to be less than full speed and the secondary is hurting too.

Bears 27 Packers 24

The lack of activity here is unfortunate. It's going to be a fantastic game!

Bears need to win the turnover battle and/or have a big day on special teams.

In the media, I've heard a lot of folks predict an easy win for the Packers. I certainly hope not and I also think not.

Go Bears!

This game is so tight, if feels like it will be decided on the next turnover.

This game is showing how important the safety play is for this particular defense. Also, please catch the D*** ball Roy Williams & Kellen Davis!!!!!!

Yea, Cutler's a little off today. That being said, can we get some receivers, Tight Ends, & Fullbacks that can get separation from the opposing defense & catch the D*** ball!!!!!!

Message to Jerry Angelo:

Why in the hell would you trade multiple 1st & 2nd round draft picks for a young Pro-Bowl Quarterback without MAKING MOVES TO SURROUND HIM WITH CAPABLE RECEIVERS & O-LINEMEN???????

The Packers are worlds better and that got them the win. But Jesus Christ was the officiating brutal. I still have no idea where that holding call was on Knox's punt return.

Not the reason why the Bears loss, but if there's one team that doesn't need an extra help, it's Green Bay. And they got plenty.

They never showed a good replay. Obviously you're not going to see it when the replay they show starts out with the flag already on the field.

I disagree that the Packers are worlds better, but they were better than us today. I agree with the bad officiating, especially when Woodson mugged Hester on that potential 90+ yard TD pass. That being said, the officials didn't force our defense to be so undisciplined today with the multiple encroachments.

Disappointing loss. Not just that it was to the Packers but that we played so poorly on offense. Overthrown balls, dropped passes, missed blocks, penalties. We needed to be sharp to compete with the Packers - the Defense was OK considering both our starting safeties were out and the TOP was so lopsided.

Only positive was that we had no significant injuries. We get our safeties & Barber back next week, so we should be almost at full strength.

Didn't win the turnover battle and didn't have a big special teams play (that counted). Result: we lose to a better team.

We had 9 running plays for 2 yards. Can that be right? Good grief.

Post #17 » by **emperorjones** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 3:00 pm

^^ Yep. And I think the easy thing is to point the finger at the O-Line. But really, our running plays seem a bit complicated - Remember the pulling left guard to block Clay Mathews on the right end? I mean seriously Martz? before we go down that road how about a simple pitch left to Forte, get some blockers out in front (like maybe a fullback, TE or pulling "LG")? It was like Marts was trying to out think some defensive genius out there that didn't exist.

As impressed as I was with Martz in the first 3 games of 2010 is how bad I think he's been in the first 3 this year.

Don't forget to blame the Recievers. About 10 dropped balls and not one could get open consistantly.

Post #19 » by **emperorjones** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 5:47 pm

Problem is I watched the game on TV. Can't tell if the receivers were getting open or not. I will point out that at least 3 times the announcers pointed out times that receivers were open but Cutler held onto the ball. But overall the drops with the rreceivers were bad enough to give them a D- on th eday.

Call me whatever you guys want, but I'm disgusted by this Bears team.

I turned off the game after the 2nd drive. I knew it was only going to get ugly.

I'm going on strike against the Bears till they lose those losers Lovie and Martz.
