Game 16: Packers @ Bears - Sunday, January 3rd , 3:25PM CT

Where’s Snacks?!? Need to stop the run today.

[CheezWizHed]

Honestly, even kicking it out of bounds is a ST win with Patterson back there and our recent ST play. No way does Crosby kick it out of the endzone today in the cold.

 

Didn't Scott kick off for one year? You would think in the playoffs at Lambeau, if he had a bigger leg they'd let him kick off. We all know coverage could be an issue.

 

Yes, when Crosby had a hamstring issue. And no, he didn't have a bigger leg.

[SeaBass]

Waste of a review, this is not getting over turned.

Yep, there goes a challenge and time out, both are more valuable than just defending from the 40 as it stands in my opinion.

 

Wouldn't they have gotten the ball inside their own 5 if it had been overturned? That's worth almost 40 yards of field position and gives you a chance for a defensive score if it has any chance of being overturned.

But it wasn't. I guess we're just that scared of the Bears that them starting on 40 yard line strikes fear into our hearts.

[PinaMadness]

Bears clearly think pounding the run is how to beat us. Smart

Absolutely. Obviously they want to shorten the game. That may be harder to do now if Montgomery is out.

[lcbj68c]

Terrible 4th down play defensive play call. I can run that route with 4 geriatric members of my nursing home down the street.

[adambr2]

Got to defend the middle of the field a little better than that on 4th and 3.

[OldHeidelberg]

Ugly start, nothing really happened yet but nothing good for the packers either.

[wallus]

Dean Lowry stinks.

[yourout]

Lancaster getting abused.

[PinaMadness]

This game couldn't have started any worse. If the defense can't get off the field it's going to be a long day. As I said last week, this would be so Wisconsin sports of us to lose this game.

[OldHeidelberg]

60 yards, half the quarter, threw one pass? Terrible

[CheezWizHed]

Martin has all the skills to be a great MLB, but he fired into Montgomery's hole and fell flat on his face. He hit the right spot, but you got to stay on your feet to get the RB.

[wildcat83]

Brutal opening drive, hopefully we can figure something out to stop the run.

[adambr2]

Honestly, even kicking it out of bounds is a ST win with Patterson back there and our recent ST play. No way does Crosby kick it out of the endzone today in the cold.

 

I sure hope our plan today isn't to concede 60 yard fields every possession and call that a win.

[CheezWizHed]

We don't have a legit KR. We should be taking the TB each time.

[yourout]

Special teams are going to end this season in a bad way.

[CheezWizHed]

Too much speed on the Bears to be running sideways.

[jjgott]

Too much speed on the Bears to be running sideways.

 

Gotta treat this awful turf like snow. Run vertically.

[adambr2]

We don't have a legit KR. We should be taking the TB each time.

 

Absolutely. Still baffles me that returners take it out of the endzone at all.

 

Getting it on the 25 is on the better than average end of things that can happen if you take it out.

[wildcat83]

Too much speed on the Bears to be running sideways.

 

We tried all game long to do it against Tampa Bay.... Hopefully it doesn't take as long to adjust today.

[PinaMadness]

Great RAC from Jones. Turner whiffed on his block.

[wildcat83]

Did we really just run on 3rd and 5?

[CheezWizHed]

Adams has to be careful getting in the refs' face like that. Clearly held, but still.

[CheezWizHed]

Did we really just run on 3rd and 5?

 

Clearly planned to go for it on 4th down.

[PinaMadness]

Did anyone else notice the Bears were playing press coverage on 4th down?
