Everyone take a deep breath it was one game. One horrible, sloppy game.

Both teams played really badly, but the Packers came out on top. Pack 1-0, Bears 0-1

There isn't really much else to say before the Jump so lets get right to it.




Cutler started really poorly and finished really poorly. He had 4 interceptions and a sub 50% completion percnetage. Rogers also started out poorly, but played decently at the end of the game. He only threw for 5.4 yards per attempt though which is very unimpressive .

Several key receivers played badly for the Bears and Donald Driver was a non factor for the Pack. Dez Clark stopped on a route that led to an interception, Earl Bennet and Greg Olson dropped a few balls, Johnny Knox had one impressive play and then got blown down by a strong breeze as Al Harris picked off Cutler for the 4th time. Greg Jennings and Devin Hester were the best players on the field today. Hester made some impressive moves in space and caught an easy touchdown pass as did Jennings.


Both defenses played well and got lots of pressure on the opposing QB. Cutler was able to get around a few of the rushes, but the pressure was constant. Omiyale and Pace blew chunks. The Bears had 4 sacks and the Pack had 2, but there was even more pressure than the sack count would indicate.
 The Bears defense really played poorly when it counted in the 2nd half and I'm going to chalk that up to Urlacher's wrist injury. The pressure was good to see, but the Secondary had quite a few breakdowns. Melissa was right about Danielle Manning, he sucks at coverage. Sucks really hard.


The Bears Stalled 2 drives in the Red Zone. On one particular red zone excersion they tried to run 2 downs when Forte was going no where and had a 1 receiver pass route on third down. Cutler was also picked off by a lineman on a well setup screen, Forte did not setup where he should have been.

Forte was bad as were all the Bears running backs. They averaged 2.8 yrds per carry. The line sucked it hard... really hard. After Urlacher went out Ryan Grant had a little more success but still only averaged 3.5 yards for the game.

Rogers didn't really move the Packs offense all that much as he only averaged  5.4 yards per pass, but he had a nice finish.

Overall it was a shitty football game that the Pack pulled out. Here's to better luck next time for the Bears and hoping that the Pack burns in hell :P

Edit/Addendum:

As B point out in the comment Urlacher has a dislocated wrist. No timetable for his return. Booooooooo!!
