Feel free to add/discuss as I know I'm missing a bunch.
1. Preseason really means nothing.
2. GB's new Defense engineered by Dom Capers is surprisingly GOOD!!! And the LBs seem to play it well. Cutler had no idea what was coming, you could tell the D was a complete mystery to him and the 4 picks as a result.
The D kept good pressure on him all night. Welcome to the NFC NORTH Jay.
The D shutdown the run really well tonight. Did have some breakdowns in coverage but I'll attribute that to growing pains.
I thought Hawk was playing good tonight. I saw him in the mix of the action, and he did save that one TD whenhe forced Hester? out of bounds after he got past Woodson. Matthews also looked good.
Props to Al Harris on another shutdown pick and I wish we could have gotten some playing time for Raji in there. Can't wait to see that once he is healthy.
3. Our Offensive RT Barbre got burned by Oguleye. Our O-line was inconsistent picking up the Blitz, and protection for Rogers was questionable. He took way too many hits tonight. Urlacher's hit on Roger's was brutal. Was glad to see Rogers get up after that.
I'm looking forward to seeing the O next week get into a better rythmn and stop dropping balls.
4. Both QB's had opening day jitters but both were under tremendous pressure. Roger's overthrew and underthrew recivevers. Cutler looked HORRIBLE thanks to our D and his cruddy WRs stopping on routes. The love affair between Chicago fans and Cutler is officially OVER. Yeah, he is HUMAN Bears fans. 3 bad passes in a row for Cutler which resulted in 2 missed picks, and the final one we saw Collins held on. A pass into quadruple coverage? Oh my! Josh McDaniels is looking like maybe he knew something.
5. Ref nearly cost us the game with that BS Illegal contact call. Man, that REF should be sent back to the pee-wee leagues. Does he know this is the NFL. Probably a Bears fan...seriously.
6. Too many dropped balls by our WRs. Granted the throws seemed to be a tad high. Jennings made a gorgeous go ahead catch for the TD. That was pure gold.
7. Stupidest fake punt...EVER!!! Just no excuse in a 2pt game to run such a dumb play on your own 30 with 11 yards to go. Yeah, I know he was trying to catch Matthews.
8. Cutlers "It's just a game, No big deal" postgame was uncomfortable to watch. I almost felt bad for him. You could tell he was still in shock and his dumb face was showing bad.
9. We got a lot of work ahead of us, and all the preseason Hype is OVER. This team can be good, but they need to tighten down some loose ends before they can even think about playoff appearance.
10. No turnovers by the pack, and from what I could tell no serious injuries. I'm assuming Jolly had a cramp until I hear different.
11. I think our D is going to make the Bengals cry, and our O is going to score a ton of points on em.
