Packers beat themselves, Bears in trouble....
Yes, I'm a Packer's season ticket holder...however...
The Packers are clearly a better team than the Bears...that was a domination through and through IN Chicago on a national stage...only to be both raped by officials AND beaten by our own stupidity. I have no problems with feeling 100% confident of a solid victory if we have to play our starters against you in Green Bay in early January...however, it's about a W or L, and for that, we biffed it. Mike McCarthy has routinely lacked the "killer instinct"...and game after game I watch this Packer's team go up by 10-17 points, only to see them have 3 more possessions after that which always come up empty handed. He never puts teams away when he has the chance, and I feel as though I watch the same game on replay over and over. We dominate, play well, get up by 10-21, then buckle our seat belts because then our coaching staff is calling off the dogs and letting the other team stick around. It's a good win for the Bears, and while it pains me to say this, Congrats Bears fans...HOWEVER...
Not only do I think it's obvious we have the better team, but I also think the Cutler project took an ugly turn last night. He threw a good 8 passes that were either caught by Packer defenders, or cradled in their arms only to be cold dropped. Including in the realm of 3 on the final drive!! He has a turnover problem that isn't going anywhere, and he has to harness that or the Bears are going nowhere. And that isn't just this year, but every year he is at the helm...he has to get that under control.
Nonetheless, very tough loss to watch as a die-hard Packer fan. I congratulate you Bears fans, and I think it's good for the division with the Vikings choking on man meat to have a team to compete with. I still think Packers win, and I don't know of anyone in the NFL who would take the Bears team of personnel over the Packers. So I at least have that going for me...we'll "get em next time", I guess.
Good game!
