Packers vs Bears Game Thread: Seasons End

[Firethorn1001]

Bazinga.
But to be fair. I think Halas was done coaching by the time of first Super Bowl iirc. I could be wrong.

Yep. Was definitely tongue in cheek given vast majority of his coaching career was pre-SB.

 

[Firethorn1001]

Yeah, they need an Alpha in the room. No true #1 on the roster. There was hope that one would emerge out of this group, but I think you are right... a bunch of 2-4's is what we have.

I so wanted Brian Thomas Jr. in the draft this year.

 

[OldSchool101]

As it relates to season goals, I understand that today was effectively a preseason game (at least it was once Dallas lost).

It’s still more painful because it was to the Bears, but I’m also fine with not hearing about “the streak” anymore. It was bound to end.

The upsetting part to me is not showing any momentum heading into the playoffs and a coach who was playing to win who still made egregiously bad in-game decisions that contributed to a loss in a game that he clearly cared about winning.

I can’t disagree. All that said had they missed that FG or ran out of time lining up? It doesn’t make us any less or more likely to Win next weekend.

Technically you could argue that Matt will be more sensitive to the clock and timeouts. He took the blame directly. Life goes on. We all want to Win to say we own the Bears, but let’s be real this game was not our starters. I can’t count 3-4 starters out in Defense not even accounting for losing JA. I can count 3-4 starters out in Offense. This was a Medley of starters and bench warmers.

This was a Win IF
1. we get back Quay Walker or Evan Williams.
2. we get back Doubs and get to see more Musgrave as a Receiving option.
3. we look fresh and rested at Philadelphia Sunday.

There was no good sense pushing out starter snap counts and then losing a day of practice and traveling cross country exhausted. Idc as much what us casual fans think in the meantime.
IF we go Win at Philly that would erase a Ton of regular season concerns or woes

Aaron Glenn is making Jeff Hafley look really, really bad tonight.

Shocked their defense is playing so well. All about the pass rush on Darnold

 

[Schultz]

No I concur. I think it was an egregious error. Although I didn’t know it at the time I was only listening so hard to follow with all the excitement.

Not picking on you but I just had rewatched. It was 25 on the play clock. That would’ve left :23 seconds for Chicago because they had :48 seconds after Kick off.

That timeout 25 sec early cost us this game. It’s not even debatable. We dodged a bullet because it had no bearing on our seeding. But it shows a definite need to get a handle on that. A casual fan shouldn’t be telling our HC what to do and many online live noticed it.

You are talking about the timeout after 3rd down. I am talking about when the ball was snapped on 3rd down. If you can rewatch again please let me know what the play clock was at when they snapped the ball on 3rd down. Thanks

Oh yeah my bad on 3rd down it was at 19-20 sec when Malik snapped it.
So it’s still leaves Chicago with :28 sec after Kickoff.

Matt said he might go for it on 4th down in a short yardage so he wasn’t planning on Kicking just yet. That’s what I’m reading anyway. He was thinking more about the play call with his backup in there and getting his kicker closer and less about the clock. He essentially admitted he made a mistake. He Got a little distracted there it happens.

Better not happen again!!

I’d rather it be a mess up in this game than next week.

Looking at 2025 schedule GB could be looking at 7-8-9 wins with 4-5 losses again in their own division. Tough schedule with Balt, Phil, Cin, Wash, Det(2), MN (2), Chi (2). Tough schedule and a team that has lots of question marks across the roster.

 

[Firethorn1001]

Way to early to even consider wins and loses for next year.

 

[Firethorn1001]

Vikings run out of the stadium, completely demoralized, seasons over. That's how this works right? Honestly, this is how I expected Darnold to look for most of the season.

Quite honestly we played Detroit much better at Detroit. We had a slug fest
I think we match up to Detroit better. Although losing Watson might hurt.

I still think we match up better than the Vikings do. Some teams just match up better.

The Lions just rush 5-7 guys and overwhelm you. Same thing they did to us. Gotta play 12 personnel and leak a RB out like Jacobs. Then let Jacobs punish you in the short pass game for overpursuit with 6 -7 rushers. Vikings are doing same thing Matt did. Looking for a 15 yard play. You gotta get the ball out in 2.0 sec to a TE or Slot WR or RB.

I think they’ll be dogs against the Rams next week. Or favored by an extremely thin margin if at all.

Rams beat them already this year, might as well do it again.

 

[Calebs Revenge]

You PLAY TO WIN THA GAME!!!!!'n

Yes. Jeff Hafley is making Brian Flores look timid.

 

[Calebs Revenge]

Thought I quoted the any given Sunday guy

The Key to Darnold is getting pressure on him. You have to blitz disproportionately with him. Once he gets rattled he forces throws. Obviusky Detroit can do that because they have the manpower. Detroit has a better CB room. If GB had a true #1 CB healthy it would help tremendously. That an 1 more upper echelon Edge to replace Preston Smith giving up on us mid season.

 

[adambr2]

I guess I don’t blame them, but the Bears’ wild celebration was such a sad little brother moment for them. You just capped off a 5-12 season that began with such high expectations. I’d be re-examining the state of my franchise if that win was so meaningful to me.

Isn’t Detroit down like, a whole bunch of starters on defense?

 

[Jayzee1981]

No it’s not way too early. They’re done after next week my guy…

Way to early to even consider wins and loses for next year.

 

[tynimiller]

Technically we do. I’d go draft a WR higher. The more I consider this the more I think having our George Pickens type added makes sense. We have good success in Round2, there’s normally some good ones left in the 50’s overall.
If Watson suddenly recovers next season and plays 17 straight games God bless him. I’m not expecting Watson more than 10 games area healthy and that in itself is not good unless you are Justin Jefferson or Jerry Rice

Was talking directly to the contract discussions not on the position group as a whole.

Even if that works, it only solves half the problem. By the time you do that, Detroit has dropped 40 on you.

 

[BrokenArrow]

Green Bay should be 0-6 in the division just a fyi lmaoo

By what logic?

 

[PackerDNA]

By what logic?

By the logic that they were out played all day and needed a guy to get a finger on a game-winning field goal when they couldn't stop the bears from driving down the field like yesterday.

 

[PackerDNA]

So Love starts the regular season getting hurt and ends it getting hurt. Bad mojo.
