Bears studs n duds

[Pugger]

As shaky as our defense is, they still held them to 10 pts after 3 quarters.

Dud to Garbage Time defense..

A lot of defenses give up garbage points when they have a big lead. Not a big deal IMO.

 

[Mondio]

W's are all that matter, but our defense finishes games how they play them, very inconsistent. I just don't care for their approach. They're talented enough to be better. By allowing such laxness I think that attitude carries over into the entire game. It won't work against good teams, well not likely anyway.

Teams that play disciplined and with effort all the time don't always win, but teams that only turn it on when they think they need to sometimes can't when it counts. I wish this defense had a different attitude to it.

 

[Poppa San]

MLF? Not sure what he would do, guessing run, but maybe not.

RPO on 4th and 2 at the 40 with 3 minutes left in the game.

With a 16 point lead yes. I meant to ask what he would do in the situation of just a 3 point lead, my bad for not asking the question better.

I did like MLF's willingness to gamble a bit more last night, but also helps to know that most of his gambles paid off.

 

[gopkrs]

I was encouraged that every touchdown was scored by someone different.

St Brown did okay, too.

Agree except St. Brown has this bad habit of trying to run around the blockers to the sideline instead of heading upfield for a first down.

 

[gopkrs]

Studs MLF and Rodgers. For game plan and spreading the ball around. Trust goes both ways.

 

[Krabs]

Ugh it's the spoiled Packer fan talking but just wish we hadn't given up those two garbage time TDs. Meaningless on the Bears part but annoying.

I knew the game was well within hand, but I was getting annoyed too. Not sure if it was the defensive scheme or if it was just lack of effort from the players.

 

[Krabs]

The Bears have (had?) a pretty good defense and the Packers just came out and punched them in the face and never really let up.

The Bears had the #1 ranked red zone defense in the league coming into that game. I was impressed how the Packers made it look easy. That was a fun win against a good defense. I also saw at the end of the game there were 0 sacks, 0 pressures and 8 hurries. With Mack on the defensive side that is a pretty impressive showing for the offensive line.

I wouldn't say I was annoyed in the sense that I really care about the defense giving up points in that scenario. But I was bothered in that poor gap responsibility and tackling are recurring issues that need to improve or it will cost the Packers in a game that's a lot more competitive.

My annoyance comes more from that I wanted the score to look outrageous because I don't like the Bears or their fans. The wider the gap the better the headlines. Although, the headlines have been pretty spectacular regardless the garbage time scores.

Yup and not sure if the Bears defense didn't come to play last night or the Packers offense is just THAT good. I think maybe a combination of both? The Bears definitely missed Hicks and while it appeared they were doing their fair share of trash talking out there, they didn't seem to have the physical energy they normally have. The Bears LB's normally scare me, last night, I hardly heard any of their names mentioned. So kudos to the MLF, Rodgers and the Packers offense and thanks to the Bears defense for possibly not fully showing up.

Another really good outcome of this game is the fact that the Packers play the Bears again in the final game of the regular season. Had the Bears won last night, I think it energizes and awakens them. Possibly even putting them into a position of that final game meaning a playoff berth. This might have been a big enough kick in the teeth that the Bears hibernate the rest of the season.

 

[Mavster]

I think this may have been the best offensive performance in the MLF era.

On the other hand, I already see some fans being fooled into thinking the defense played well. They didn't. Mitch is simply that bad at quarterbacking. When you play the 2nd worst offense in the NFL and drop in in the rankings you didn't do that well.

 

[Zad Fnark]

lol.

Probably why we always called Antonio Freeman the "Sideline Seeking Missile". He always beelined for out of bounds.

I called him Antonia "5 yards and out" Freeman.

 

[Do7]

Calm down. If my dud opinion really affects you that much then I'm sorry

Dude Im completely calm. I just think you had a lousy opinion regarding MVS being a dud for such a petty reason and I simply gave my thoughts on the matter.

That was a rhetorical question.

DUD: Mason Crosby for missing that XP, now Captain is going to go on a 40 post rant on him being overpaid.

I officially apologize to @captainWIMM for defending Crosby. Missing that extra point was bad and deserves a dud.

 

[JK64]

MVS played hurt tonight and was a decoy (wasn't thrown at tonight once)

Some of you are wildly lame.

Get MVS a waaaaaymbulance.

 

[Mondio]

Get MVS a waaaaaymbulance.

he was out there blocking and getting extra yards for jones and Williams. he wasn't whining near as much as some fans have been...

True. MVS seems to be a stand up guy.

 

[sschind]

Not mean at all. Dante's question about expecting a discussion was more of a rhetorical question meaning he wasn't really looking for an answer. I love the TV show MASH and what I quoted was from a scene in one of the shows. If you know me at all you will find that I love obscure TV references and I use them quite a bit. I agree with you about giving an X then not saying why but some people on here are famous for it.

Well said. Playing prevent is not the same as playing fundamentally unsound football. When you are up by 31 points in the 4th quarter I don't really care that their offense runs off a 10 play 5 minute drive for a score by making a bunch of short yardage pass plays as long as you tackle the guy when he makes that short yardage catch.

 

[Curly Calhoun]

This was a complete game for the Pack....4th quarter 'prevent' defense was a little shaky, and Mason missed an extra point, but those are quibbles. This was a solid effort against a divisional rival after an OT loss the week before - That's encouraging.

That said, let's not kid ourselves - The Bears are a hot mess right now. Green Bay should beat them handily, and they did.

Interesting to see what the Eagles look like tonight....

Will be rooting for the Eagles, for sure.
