How the [expletive] did we just beat the Packers in Lambeau without Cutler and Briggs? Yeah yeah Rodgers was hurt, but still...wtf. I wasn't even excited for this game all week and day because I just assumed a 20+ point loss. Wow...tied for 1st in the North, tied for the last WC in the NFC. Cutler back next week....wow

That was fantastic. A season-saving win.

If Ratliffe can give anything, the Bears defense suddenly looks much better. Yes the safeties look bad, but when your lien gets no pressure you will get hammered. A better line makes the entire defense better.

That's all Trestman. Bears lose this game with Lovie as HC. Rodgers or not. Lovie's henchmen of an OC would have dumbed down the offense. Would not have gone for 4th down.

18 plays, 80 yards, 8:58. Holy [expletive] [expletive]

Yeah yeah, but still?

 

They would have been slaughtered with Rodgers in there. They got gashed on the ground with no threat of a passing game. They won because Rodgers was out. Plain and simple. But a win is a win.

Agreed. Before this game I thought the Bears were destined for 6-10, 7-9. Now I think they could finish anywhere from 8-8 to 10-6

All the time you hear, "If your starting QB is out for any real length of time, your season is over." Sometimes you need a guy to come in and hold the fort down until your starter is healthy. The Bears needed that in '11. They got more than that tonight.

It helps when you have an oc, line and receivers.

So Cutler and Briggs are out vs. Rodgers and Mathews (looking at this simply, there are obviously more out for both sides). 2 questions:

 

1) Are the Bears without Cutler and Briggs better than the Packers without Rodgers and Mathews?

2) Does this show say anything about how much Rodgers is better than Cutler, or does this show how much better McCown is than Wallace? Or both?

Trestman trusting McCown with the full offense is the entire story, period

Not really. Offense performed as expected. The story was Rodgers.

 

You expected 272 yards, 2 TD and 0 INT from McCown? I really, really doubt it
