Absolutely gutted watching that yesterday. The Bears were awful.

Packers receivers seemed to be in acres of space everytime for Rodgers to throw the ball too compared to every time Cutler had the ball in his hands you could tell he was looking for where the hit was going to come from.

Garza mis-counting the snap summed the game up for me.

Looking on the bright side, a poor season might mean a decent draft pick. Any positions you lads think we have a need?????

What a travesty, a debacle, flagrant evidence of corruption and malefeasance on the part of the referees. It’s nice to know that our “objective” umpires take payola. Someone must have bet a lot of money on the Packers. We now need referees for the referees. I’m disgusted, not only as a Bears fan, but just as a viewer of the game in general. It doesn’t bother me when the Packs win in a fair-and-square game. The Bears had a chance with Knox’s TD, perhaps with an onside-kick they could have gained possession for that last critical minute. I’m so thoroughly disgusted with the NFL organization in general, this simply puts the icing on the cake. JUST LET THESE GUYS PLAY BALL, DAMNIT!

Forget the final score was only a difference of 10 points and an official should be fired for the ‘holding’ call at the end. Bottom line, it’s clear the Packers have a huge edge over us on both sides of the ball. That’s the reality, and it will probably be that way for the next 10 years at least. And Angelo, Sweaty Teddy and Lovie need to be held accountable for that.

I’d have loved nothing more than to see Rodgers’ smirk wiped right off his face by getting thrown on his head. But despite the D somehow keeping the score within shouting distance, the offense was a joke. Drops, no run game, failure to capitalize right before the half, stupid play calling and terrible clock management/time outs.

A few things I noticed watching the game in the middle of Wisconsin. Our defense, if we would have won, would have earned that “save” to use a baseball term. That group did a lot of things right. The defense looks like a cohesive unit. Our offense, however, looks like a grade-school team picked based on popularity on the playground. They don’t work together, they don’t even seem to like each other much and to me that translates into “I don’t care a flip about this game.” Now the Packers obviously are a championship team and they look it. And I have to give credit to the Bears defense for keeping the game as close as it was. But Cutler needs to be protected, and when he is, he needs to make the play. Some boneheaded decision by Cutler, some unnecessary drops by good receivers and A LOT of false start/neutral zone infraction/offsides that just don’t happen with cohesive, good football teams. Now whether it’s the way the TV cameras show Cutler, or that’s the way it is, I rarely saw Cutler looking at photos after a play, he also never seemed to celebrate with his team when they did have a good drive. He seems very removed from it all, and that’s not the mark of a good leader, or a team players.
