Packers vs Bears Game Thread: Seasons End

[OldSchool101]

The Defense sucked that drive.

I really did t think Chicago could gain 20 yards and have time to spike it. There was :15 on the clock. How does all that take 12 seconds???

 

[melvin dangerr]

I really was hoping for a D player to take just 2 seconds more on that tackle, I don’t the refs would have blown the whistle

Way to go Hafley you *******. No pressure on 3rd and long with the game on the line? Just give it away. Stupid doesn’t begin to describe that.

The Packers seem to be the only team in the NFL to not understand that throwing 15-20 yards over the middle of the field, getting back to the line and spiking the ball in less than 15 seconds is indeed possible.

 

[Zartan]

1-6 and being a dudes finger from being 0-6 is not good dont matter who you are.

If next season MLF is yet again taken to the cleaners in the division he needs to be reevaluated.

 

[Big L]

100%. Either we force the Bears to burn their last timeout or we can run the clock all the way down to 15 seconds before we bring McManus out. Inexplicable.

Yes - it will be your last time to score, so you force them, or you run the clock down - in excusable blunder

 

[Half Empty]

Excuse me??? You’re the 3rd poster in 11 years I’ve just blocked. Get a life!

Well, you may not see this, but I still have to question why anyone would be anxious watch the replay of this game, unless they really are someone who enjoys enduring pain (surprised that the official word for that type of person was censored). I was set to enjoy watching until I read the end, figuring I could shrug off all the doo-doo, knowing they'd won despite it. Not now.

 

[OldSchool101]

Winning 1 out of 6 games against your division during the season is not meaningless, regardless of what it does or doesn’t do to your seeding.

Still nobody will care if you win Wildcard weekend. It will all disappear like a vapor fart

Pretty easily when they had a timeout to talk about it, designed a good play, the ball came out quick, the defense leaves the middle of the field open and their guys were ready and prepared to get back to the line.

Or the short version, Hafley got pantsed.

Season starts next weekend

I get the feeling we will have a long running Fire Hafley thread like all the others.

Haftley has to question his standing after today. We needed a stop, but he just doesn't blitz and leaves the middle of the field open with 15 seconds.

I guess it happened. But I would’ve thought it cost more than :12 sec. An average 5 yard play costs 7 seconds.

 

[Big L]

Commanders take the lead with 3 seconds left.

While would have been nice to win, but at the end of the day game was meaningless other than to fans. Packers pulled back guys so winning vs the Bears and that 6 seed was more important to others.

Then that is ridiculous, because the chances of winning at the rams or bucs is a hell of a lot higher than going into Philly and beating the eagles. And if someone has to explain it to ML, he is coaching way above his skill level, because that is laughable.

 

[Thirteen Below]

If my math is correct. We can post June trade or cut and he saves 17.4M on the cap. I’d prefer We shop in FA and apply that to someone more reliable. He’s played less than 50% games across 2023-2024.

Ouch.......50%? ..... Yea not good

Worse than that, guys. After new week's playoff game, he will have played in 45% of our games since 2021 - 34 out of 74. And only 35% of the games we've played in the last 2 years.

 

[Zartan]

On that last play they should have just rushed 3 and then crowded the middle of the field.

 

[JKramer64]

It seems he was considering going for it, with that conversation with Bisacchia right before the kick. He must have wanted more time to make the decision.

There was only one decision to make and that was to kick the field. It was 55 yards. He knew McManus had the range. There was nothing to discuss.

 

[OldSchool101]

Still I would’ve rushed 4. Then 2 on each sideline between 10-20 yards plus a line of 3 DB’s at 10-15-20 right down the middle. Lots if bodies idk how that gets completed

 

[melvin dangerr]

Minnesota and Detroit have improved their teams wether we like it or not , with a change mainly in the culture of coaching, from passive doormats to aggressive contenders, i want the Packers to go all the way, this is half the problem other is lack of talent

 

[Half Empty]

Thankfully, This game was a meaningless game with a bunch of 2nd and 3rd stringers playing more than an entire half. Total overreaction.

Did whoever the players were at the time mitigate that the horrible coaching that I read about?

 

[OldSchool101]

I still don’t put too much weight in a 2 point loss against our backups. I think it’s a bit of an overreaction. I would’ve similarly pulled Love and Jacobs around halftime even if we lost by a pint.

My bigger concern is we have an ultra fragile #33 overall draft selection. I’d replace Watson and Alexander next year imo

Well, hope you enjoy losing to an inferior team. Block me, or whatever, I didnt like the MLF pick and as far as I'm concerned, fire the whole damn bunch.
Rushing only 3 and still letting them connect on long pass play?
Sooooo many inferior game decisions. Maybe looking at last place next year.
BTW, how'd R. Gary do today? Money well spent there.

 

[melvin dangerr]

Even with the doors and windows closed this Vikings neighbor is way to ***** now

 

[Big L]

Disagree - if I am going to lose it is because I tried to force the issue by bringing pressure and didn’t get it done. I am not going lose by rushing 3, give him all GD time to find someone open in a soft of a zone

 

[BrokenArrow]

They still would have gotten there in time to spike the ball. You would have had to hold him down for 7-8 seconds to prevent him lining up in time and that definitely would have been a penalty.

 

[Magooch]

God only knows why we would approach that final down treating it like it's a hail mary situation while simultaneously leaving their best wr in single coverage. Head-scratching ending all around. Bears tried (a couple of times) to gift that one to us and we gifted it right back.

(which unfortunately is not the first time this season. We've had a couple of "looks like they're trying to give us the win" situations where we've said "no thanks")
