Bills fan here.........

Came to root on fellow NorCal boy Aaron Rodgers………..played in the same section of HS football as him (he just went to a much much bigger school)

O-Line

McCarthy gave them a few opportunities to open some running lanes for Grant and he got nothing. He can’t be happy.

Defense did its job

the pressure is getting to Cutler on the first series. Me likey.

Now let’s hope that the offense can find a seam somewhere on the field. Urlacher looks so much faster than last year.

I sure did

an OUTSTANDING example of how the little things make a difference.

Finley wasn’t a primary option, so he chipped Ogunleye. Hard.

by Mitchell_M on Sep 13, 2009 8:07 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

After one quarter, here's what we know:

The defense is working: Cutler, Forte, and the rest of the Bears can’t get into a rhythm. Cutler in particular looks out of sorts.

The offense is not: Rodgers has displayed some agility in the pocket, but he can’t juke his way out of Adwale Ogunleye’s unabated rush.

Run offense? Non existent thus far.

Where did we rank in rushing offense last year?

It couldn’t have been that good, as Grant took almost half the season to record a 100-yard rushing game.

Cullen Jenkins

made Matt Forte his manservant on that play.

Also, notice how Charles Woodson is following Greg Olsen whereever he goes. I don’t dislike it, but I’d rather have him available to help on Hester/Bennett.

When a defense creates three turnovers

and however many punts, the offense simply has to produce.

Not to mention Urlacher, Tinoisamoa, and McBride are out, Tillman is coming off freaking BACK surgery, and we have “the most explosive offense in preseason”.

IF they hold the Bears to 3 and IF they get a good return and IF they can somehow get into FG range and IF Crosby can hit it, they can win.

It feels too much like last year for my comfort.

Another question

If they get within a 60-yard attempt, do they take it? Mason Crosby has a HUGE leg, and has hit 60+ yarders before.

The biggest thing right now is to get the Bears down in bounds

and make sure Hester doesn’t break a seam.

I’m torn on whether they should keep up the pressure or test their coverage. Cutler is easily flustered, and when he’s had time, he has delivered. But do you sell out with just over a minute left and a 6-point lead?

my personal opinion is you play a relaxed zone till the get to around the 40........

or inside……….then you turn up the heat when they have less room to make a big play, because they need a TD.

DO NOT FORGET how poorly the offense played for the majority of the game. The next two games (vs. CIN, @ STL) should be good opportunities to retool the offense.

Not on defense

We forced Cutler to throw 4 INTs, and got good pressure on him pretty much the whole game. You better hope your o-line figures out how to pick up the blitz by week 4 because when anyone comes within 4 feet of Favre now he falls down to the ground.

by packallday555 on Sep 13, 2009 11:28 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Just an FYI:

Jay Cutler is on pace to throw 64 interceptions this season.

That rookie WR for Chicago needs to round about 100 laps for that incredibly weak effort on that last pick.

Good for you.

Bottom line is that if GB can get their RT position squared away, they put up huge points. Barbe was single handedly shutting down drives tonight. I thought GB was their own worst enemy most of the night, with all do respect to Chicago.

And yeah, you beat Cleveland, and it still took you a half to figure them out. They’ve got less talent than either Chicago or GB. If you want to get cocky about that, go ahead.

As much as we should be concerned about our O-Line

they should be just as concerned about their defensive backfield. On a night where the Bear Corners and Safeties were afforded ample QB pressure, when it really counted they blew it. Everyone on here thought the Bears had weak defensive backs and we were not disappointed.

What does this have to do with Mike Tirico? If anything he’s a Lions fan, he’s from Detroit.

That was pretty bloody tense. Now I’ll never get to sleep.

When it looked as if the game might be decided on a dodgy call I was mightily pissed off; who’d have bet the moribund offence would choose the last possible moment to prouce sometghing special. Hester spent the whole game lining up off the scrimmage line and was never called on it, so I[m glad we won or I’d be forced to hunt and kill all the refs and I really just don’t have that kind of time spare.

All in all I thought the refs were pretty awful.

It did’t help that the crew chief appeared to be terrified of being on the microphone. Doesn’t exactly instill confidence. And they blew two calls on that illegal contact play alone! That’s hard to do.

Seconded

I remember a few weeks ago on Brew Crew Ball that on a an analysis done using computers revealed that the Brewers had the most blown calls on pitches in the strike zone in the entire league (something like that, I can’t remember), but I feel like it’s the same thing with Packers. It’s hard to be a Wisconsiner sometimes.

I woke up

listening to one of your local stations (god bless the internet!) and they were saying the winning play was originally supposed to be a Grant run, but Jennings lined up on the wrong side so Rodgers was forced to call a TO. Then the pass play was called but even then Jennings was the secondary receiver.

The safety telegraphing his intention made up Rodgers’ mind and the rest is sweet, sweet recent history…..
