YUT !!!
Being that they are our biggest rival....GOOD....let the drama roll on !!!! The on field - off field - locker room - media coverage drama is the best thing for the Bears.....self destruction for them is good for us.
So 2 catches for 21 yards against Williams is "Quite a few completions"?
Profootballfocus.com is where I got the stat from...I'm not sure where you got your stats from, but I'd see an underneath catch, and wait for the DB to turn to see the number, fulling expecting it to be 37, but it was 38.
I just calls 'em the way I sees 'em. Like I said, he had a good game...2 picks and the QB had 28.2 passer rating. He was not, however, perfect. Nobody expect CBs to throw shutouts, though I think Shields might have come close.

True. Cutler only has a -2.5 rating and Webb who was defending Matthews got -3... Matthews got the highest. They must have some intricate system of grading.I'm a little puzzled by PFF's +2.0 rating for Williams...seems it should be higher based on their stats and the 2 INTs and 2 passes defended.

These ratings can be deceiving. I just read a piece at JSOnline on Shields. The writer evidently got the idea from my post a few days ago where I mentioned Shields earned 60 snaps based on his Grade A hit on Gore short of a first down.
This of course followed on my prediction before game 1 that Bush would not be the starter for long, perhaps not past the first half of game 1...which ended up being spot on.
According to this JSOnline piece, the Bears threw against Shields once for an incompletion which is consistent with my observation he was invisible in that game...so it was a shutout as I thought it might be. Granted, Shields had the easier assignment with Jeffrey, but when QBs don't throw on a guy you know he's doing something good. Then again, what kind of grade do you get when statistically it's as though you're not on the field at all...a big fat zero?
The most quoted post of the season so far? lolI feel like Cutler is always going to be a little underrated, especially from us. Say what you want but when he yelled at his lineman he was criticized for it but when Rodgers yelled at Jones nobody saw a problem with it. I get that Cutler was really struggling up to that point but still.
And not all that was his fault. Receivers not coming back for the ball, slow hustle out of breaks and the WORST offensive line I've ever seen.
He's a pretty good quarterback, guys.
............99% of Packer Nation knew Bush was not the answer at CB.
Well the depth chart has Shields listed as the starter99% is high. Granted, Bush's shortcomings were widely acknowledged, but I can't recall anybody else giving him 1/2 of game 1 to prove up, which is exactly how it worked out.
As for Shields, the cut/bench Shields contingent in these pages outnumbered those recognizing the value of his cover skills.

Andre Johnson, before the Sunday night game at New England, called the Texans @ Patriots game "the most important game in the history of the Texans franchise"..... then they went out and got crushed 42-14. Let's hope the same thing happens here.Marshall apparently pissed at us.
"This is the biggest game of my career....
