Considering starting position
First possession was a disaster
Frye is honestly gotta be one of the top 10 3rd Stringers in all of the NFL right now--colbyb

Just checking
Everybody would think it would be super hilarious to see the Vikings miss the Playoffs rather than the Bears, right?
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

just looked up wiki entry on free kicks...
Here is what I find… it seems like its NOT considered a field goal attempt, but a “Free kick” attempt I guess….although you are awarded 3 points like in a field goal…
But it’s classified as one of three type of free kicks…the other two are kickoffs and the kick you get after a safety…
So I guess Mason Crosby was going for the “free kick” record?
Believe it or not, the last time a free kick was successful was , incidentally, Chicago versus the bears in 1968….the bears beat us with it.

The only trouble I have with your conclusion
is what Brady Poppinga said during the week : "All of these losses have torn our hearts out. It just hasn’t worked …" To me, its the demoralization of the players that has been the difference in these last 3 or 4 games after so many losses. Don’t see how McCarthy is at fault for that.

Still a winless team and it's a home game.
They mustn’t forget that just about every win has been a blowout for them (the Vikings game an exception).
It’s McCarthy’s job BTW to get them pumped no matter what the circumstance is.
Maybe Bikini Girls should head to the Packers locker room instead? ;-)

Rodgers has got to start to throw the ball, he’s got time for most of the plays, he just doesn’t make quick enough decissions.
