[Derwood]

Bears gave up a TD on the exact same slant play 3 times today. Nice adjustments, D

[Theo]

Lovie Smith is now 1-6 in his last 7 against the Packers. Can we stop this nonsense about the Bears playing the Pack tough?

[Soul]

On one of them it looked like they tried to play tighter coverage. But he caught it anyway.

 

And Briggs read one of them but just couldn't quite get there fast enough.

 

I think they knew what was coming, they just failed to stop it.

 

How 'bout dem Bulls?

Found it pretty shocking a crippled Bears offense was able to move the ball so easily on them. I know coulda, shoulda, woulda but, if the Bears don't trip over their own feet on offense and defense, as they did, there's a good chance they win this game.

 

Found some more interesting facts about the Packers -

They've been outgained by 78 total yards.

They've been outrushed by 239 yards.

Their opponents have as many first downs as the Packers (326).

They've been outsacked 38-27.

They rank 31st out of 32 teams in total defense.

They've allowed 6.2 yards per play (tied for worst in the NFL) it would appear they can't really stop anyone nor generate much of a pass rush. It been cited many times that a team should not be so reliant on a single player but, how aren't the Packers a prime example of such a team? One average to poor game by Rodgers and they might be gone.
