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

[melvin dangerr]

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.

Heard something to that effect about Nixon that he didn’t want to get hurt because of contract issues that effects his money line

He was already in the end zone is what I saw

Eh, it might be nitpicking to some extent. But he could have tried to help tackle him to keep him out of the end zone. Swift was coming right toward him. What good does it do to stand a foot behind the line and wait for him to enter the end zone so he could jump out of the way?

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

Oh man he was a heck of a DC. Basically invented the nickel defense which everyone uses as their base anymore.

Maybe. But then the Bears might get it at the 1 and they use even more clock to punch it in. Unless you think we could force a fumble.

Are you saying he was instructed to "let them score"? Was Holmgren our coach? If you don't try to stop them from scoring, you're saying we weren't capable of stopping them, which I guess we weren't.

It's all about money. Period.

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.

If there could be a hi-5 across the fiber optic here it comes

but as I have stated I am a anti-MLF but this last game was Barney Fife shooting himself in the foot too many times AND he had a lesser team than what he was given day one of last year...NOW the F_ups during the year....are a very different spice on the pizza

The team was so close to being the top of the Central.

Torpedo #1 was the Carolina game and then the rest is history

"what the hell is goin' on out here!!??"

 

[oompatailgate]

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.

Agreed on my 4 cent opinion The Def had a 3/4 tank full of gas and had to drive a ford LTD instead of a Bugatti veyron

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

Yep.
Plus what’s strange is our OL is above average Pass Blocking but mostly awful run blocking. If we had an average RB Instead of a Top 10 type we’d be a bottom dweller running offense.

That’s just unacceptable. It’s also why you don’t pay $20mil annual for a guy (Banks) who was never really proven. People were questioning that FA move day 1 because he was actually shown to be middling to lower of the position group. We all thought Gute knew something we didn’t. Turns out Banks is exactly in line with middling. He’s serviceable if you’ve got a couple Probowl types surrounding him. Yet on an island Banks plays C- grade on a C average scale and gets A- level compensation $$$

What am I missing?

Packers wanted Banks because they wanted to fix their running game by getting bigger up front. They watched how in the past, teams with big offensive lines like the Eagles would just maul the Packers.

I think they thought it's critical to run well so you can run teams out of a Cover 2 sceme which gave Rodgers his biggest fits.

While Banks is huge and so is Belton and Ryhan, the increased size hasn't yet translated into the dominant run game they envisioned.

Again all INJ's cleared for next year...Watch out flatlanders...purple furpel's and Det Kitty's..GB will back in force (Baretta "and you can take that to the bank")

And I am happy for Stafford - c'mon LA - Class Act needs to get the Brass Ring

 

[Green Tundra]

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

He can use Hillary's assistant.

 

[Green Tundra]

The TEARS from all of you are understandable.
It's OK, lets just root for our brothers during the rest of these playoffs.
We'll root for ourselves next season

Don't kill yourself. It's only a game. I live in Chicago. We don't 'boo hoo hoo." You should be glad for years of kicking the Bears. But hey, that last game...the Packers left a smelly one. Am I laughing? Not really. Maybe a few giggles.

Good luck.

 

[Magooch]

Watching this Rams-Bears game and it's just making me more annoyed. We absolutely 100% should've put away the Bears. Feel like this game is making our loss look worse lol

 

[melvin dangerr]

The Rams must have borrowed some of GB Dbacks, that was Fing pitiful, they deserve to lose this game

The Rams are trying to outdo the Packers, 4th and 4 and you give up a pass like that in the end zone

McVay taking conservative football lessons from MLF

 

[melvin dangerr]

Devonte the heart breaker

 

[melvin dangerr]

Even though the Bears lost, they will be a pain in GB rear end for sometime to come. Good game

 

[Firethorn1001]

Bears can go hang their 'We beat the Packers banner' now

Can't begin to guess where you picked up that username.
