Packers vs Bears Game Thread: Veni, Vidi, Vici Edition

[Team Ronny]

Are our strength and conditioning coached really this bad? It seems like our team is always gassed in the 2nd half of games!

Williams was playing the Packers. They make just about anybody look like Joe Montana when they have the lead. It's just who they are.

Unlike most years, I've watched several Bears games this year. That performance was not atypical for Williams. That's what the Bears do. It's worse against us though, because this is what the Packers do. This is our identity now.

I was watching the Packer Squad podcast, and they marveled at how inaccurate Williams is, how he'll throw a pass and miss a guy by 25 yards. But on his next pass, he'll squeeze it into an impossibly small window. One of the guys astutely explained it by saying "He's a winner".

Last night it had a lot to do with our offense disappearing completely in the third quarter. But I've wondered if our conditioning played a part in our chokejobs also.

It's not Lafleur. It was the kicker. And injuries.

Cooper went out and the defense didn't get another stop it seemed like.

Just keep your head in the sand…..

Matt LaFlop is like having a date every Saturday night but knowing at the end of the night your not getting anything good

 

[rdawsoniii]

One missed extra point away from tying it at the end there. And you want to rebuild the whole team? Are you serious?

Did special teams give up 25 points in the 4th quarter? Asking for a friend….

 

[Days are numbered]

There is so much crookedness is sports today. I think the game was intentionally thrown. Money talks and ******** walks.

To be fair, sometimes the Packers take off the first half and then decide to expend their 20 minutes of football in the second half. Not usually, but it does happen.

I would think that their strength and conditioning have been at the bottom of the league for many seasons. Like Special Teams, I think it gets pushed down to a lower priority. There are multiple levels of evidence to bolster that assertion.

Think about it this way: if MLF kept Mo Drayton around much too long to eventually wreck a season, then it wouldn't be surprising that he'd also mismanage or overlook strength and conditioning.

It’s sad how predictable this was.

Just tired of us running that same play up the middle with Jacobs when you have a sub par OL.

And when your offense gets 1 first down in 4 possessions you better be facing a bottom feeder to win the game.

 

[milani]

No, but last week the Lions gave up 16 to the Bears in the 4th quarter. But THEIR kicker WON the game.

 

[oompatailgate]

do us old coots remember the crash of the Hindenburg? If not watch the 2nd half of last nights game..

Damm I was super suckered in...and then bang zoom!

I am so positive considering the Inj's ; and this team will comeback next year better than ever

the game was such a debacle you cant even blame the zebras

BUT I would not even have Mc Shanka-roonie pour me a Guinness

After watching the game replay last night, just finished my drink and went to bed, 30 MINUTES is all the Packers had to do to hold on to a 18 pt lead and send the Bears in hibernation in their own home, 30 MINUTES! It’s not like they were nursing a 3pt lead or a 7pt lead but 18pts, and failed, collapsed, choked, whatever you want to call it,just proved the Packers are where they deserve to be at home on the couch watching everyone else play, yes coaches are to blame, but players are more to blame because they are on the field, no MLF will not be fired but his inability to take his team deep in the post season will come in question McManus future should be decided on Monday as well as others coaches included, no excuse for this loss and embarrassment none.

Harbaugh next head coach and McDaniels next oc lol

Hard pass on Harbaugh, he has not done **** since Ray Lewis and Ed Reed left

 

[Green Tundra]

Is Love top 5? No, but he's good enough to win you a championship.

Doesn't look like he is good enough to take us anywhere.
He has let 2nd year Caleb beat him 3 of the last 4, (would'a been 4 in a row if Nixon didn't snatch that TD pass.

Some will blame the coach for Love's short-comings. I am one of them.

 

[David Ciembronowicz]

Gruden for HC!

 

[Pkrjones]

Gruden for HC!

Hadn't considered, but would be a solid move... just need an assistant to filter his emails.

 

[OkieCheesehead]

That’s what I’m saying, though I think it’s a long shot. Chucky would love to coach in Green Bay

Throwing 4 TD's isn't good enough? He also threw some beautiful passes that were dropped. When Love occasionally struggles, its usually because his attempts are very low or there are a ton of drops.

The problem with the Packers is coaching and a soft team culture. What more can Love do? Kick FG's and extra points?

I can be very critical, but when guys excel, they deserve the credit too. Love deserves credit for playing a very good game last night.

 

[melvin dangerr]

Green Bay could use more talent, and a lot more tough guys

In 2 of those 3 he did not play much of the game for a couple reasons.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories. But there is that video going around the internet of Nixon jumping out of the way of Andre Swift as he scores a touchdown, instead of trying to tackle him.

He was already in the end zone is what I saw

Too cold. He likes Florida.

True. When I watch him on YouTube I noticed he always likes to mention his time in Green Bay when he was a QC coach under Holmgren. There’s another no-nonsense coach who wouldn’t take mediocrity. Far cry from MLF

Great staff under Holmgren. Mooch, Chuck, Nolan Cromwell, Fritz Shurmur ( although I hated his 3 man rushes ).
