Last minute TD and then an INT. Cutler isn't looking to good for the bears now is he. Defense did a pretty good job tonight
wow, that was quite the game, quite sloppy but sill very entertaining.
damned good game.
Great game...well, exciting anyway. Whew.
When cutler settled down the second half he looked like himself (being a charger fan I got to watch him a lot). His receivers sucked badly though...in half of the interceptions they would just stop in their routes. :durr Cutler will give you guys a hard time if he ever gets some receivers...Forte isn't anything special though..when you carry the ball 83% of the time you will obviously have good numbers.
missed the end of the game cause my u-verse "lost network" after the bears field goal.
The Packers needed a nice eye opening game like that after their cupcake preseason. Way too many people saw their preseason and just assumed they were going to blow everybody out. Look what happens when teams actually gameplan.
Nice seeing Rodgers finally come thru at the end of a game and win one. That's a big step for him to go from being a nice fantasy football player, to a NFL winning QB. But he is not going to last the season if the OL is going to let him get creamed like that all season long.
Defense looked great, I love seeing the constant pressure. It's nice to see Collins hasn't changed. Gives up a big play, and of course has to leave the field hurt. EVERY single time he misses a tackle or a coverage he leaves hurt only to miracously come back 2 plays later as if nothing happened. Woodson looks a little slow, that may be some cause for concern.
rodgers and cutler both threw a lot of passes that should have been caught.
Where's Tauscher? Barbre was awful...
Bears lost Urlacher for the season.
Ouch.
Tauscher is still recovering from knee surgery I believe. He got hurt real late in the season.
Dislocated right wrist.
You would think that he could just cast it and still play
When did he get in a cheap shot? That hit on Rodgers was perfectly legal, and had it been Barnett doing it to Cutler, Packers fans would be thinking he was a god.
Oh and speaking of Barnett can cut his damn hair. Apparently he think's that's what make Palumalu a great player. Atleast I didn't see his damn samurai sword celebration last night. He's definetly one of my least favorite Packers ever.
The only really poor call I saw last night was against Al Harris for illegal contact.
I never said it wasn't legal, but if I had a dollar for every time I saw a ref flag a defender for even pushing a quarterback seconds after he threw I would have plenty of gas money! much less a knockout hit. I can give 2 fucks about Rodgers though...I just call it how I see it, obviously anyone on the opposing team will cheer on the other quarterback getting hammered. I cheered countless times when cutler would get knocked out with the broncos...I was just stating that it was probably his best hit (maybe only hit)of the night . LoL
There is no way Urlacher is going to sit out the whole season. $20 says he'll be back in cast by week 6.
Mc Carthy's thougts on his O line
(Did you come close to making a change at right tackle during the game?)
We were frustrated, but I think that goes for anytime things don't go well, and everybody wants to pin it on one person. That's why you need to look at the film. I thought the communication was good. The things that were discussed on the boundary, also the conversations at halftime, Allen Barbre's performance actually improved in the second half, so that's a positive we'll take forward. But I'll say this about Allen. He wasn't the only one who didn't play very well up front. Our protection unit did not play well, and that was a major cause for our frustration and our inability to move the football. The Bears defensive line did a very good job getting after our front last night, and we did not handle it very well.
(So you're not going to make any changes on the offensive line?)
We've got work to do. That's what we're going to do here at 12:30.
(So you're committed to keeping Barbre in the starting lineup for Sunday?)
Allen Barbre will start this Sunday, yes. The whole offensive line needs to improve from today to Sunday. That will be one of the objectives when we go in and make the corrections.
nothing wrong with the hit on Aaron..it was solid for sure...they say the whole season but I would put money that if he can- he will (Urlacher) will try and play...
Cutler well blame his line receivers whatever- he successfully threw 4 and probably could have had 6-7 ...he just plain sucked...on his throwing end and some receive corp...
yea....not to mention the fact that they showed the replay and he made contact with him a FIVE yards!!!....yes i understand that it's a judgement call, but I bet even if it happened at 6-7 yards 95% of refs wouldn't call it. and on top of that, the play went to other way. To me it shouldn't be called unless the play was going that way
