great win for such a young team
i think they said early in the game that we would be the youngest team ever to make the playoffs
I haven't been this nervous during a game for a long time.
Seems strange they only scored 17 points with all the great offensive performances.

This was one of those games where if a team hangs around for long enough, they can win on a freak play of some kind.
Packers very easily could have had 14 more points on the board if not for a great pass break up by the CHI db and if Melton moved that ball a hair less.
Yeah the Bears hung around a lot longer than they should have. Give them credit for being a tough out - I think they will be on the rise as well, and we could have a real rivalry with them once again.
I thought the refs called a weird game. Reviews and calls did not go GBs way often.
Justin Fields and Co. didn't run wild, and DJ Moore didn't go off for crazy yardage either. Seems like they had Valentine on him quite a bit, which should have been a mismatch. The pass rush got to Fields -- seemed like Preston, Brooks, and others were bothering him while also providing some level of contain on him and rushing his mental clock. Flowers for Barry for actually calling some aggressive plays and containing an offense who put up 27 or more points in 3 of their previous 4 games. That said, the defense still has weaknesses and I don't trust them. Even on that 3rd and 22 late in the game I was nervous. Nice end to his tenure here, but it should be enough to keep him. (PLEASE DON'T KEEP HIM)
Lots of stars on the offense today - Jones, Reed, Wicks, etc. OL held up pretty well against an improving front. 1 sack on Love and his jersey looked pretty clean today.
Speaking of Jordan Love, his star is certainly rising. Completing just over 84% of your passes and not throwing a pick against a team that's been very ballhawking lately - on over 30 attempts - is really astonishing. If he plays like this going forward, they are a threat to win any game.
The NFL certainly wants Stafford-Pussies, Packers-McCarthy next week.
And so it is.
No punts today.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Bobble knew that - that there would be zero punts - so he took the over.
Good thing I ain’t a gambler like Bobble.
Barry was dialing up some blitzes today. He knew Fields isn't good enough reading a D to check out of it.
From the Bears subReddit; comedy Gold:
"My hot take: Jordan Love isn't as good as people think. His offensive line just gives him a million fucking years to throw."
"It’s not a hot take. Well blocked for and coached. Got 4 full seasons to memorize a playbook. I would not be surprised to see a Mac Jones 2nd year slump"
LOL. The delusion is breath-taking.
Packers will play 3:30 Sunday.

Fuck! I was hoping for a Saturday game.
If the Packers lose - and there’s a high probability they will lose - I will be too bummed to flip burgers and will have to call in yet again.. I am inches away from getting canned.
I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
I was a bit surprised that this one didn't go to Peacock to grab the big fan bases of the Packers and the Cowboys. But maybe they are hoping for Tay-Tay to bring in the audience.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
Just a couple items I didn't see mentioned elsewhere on this site:
"Everyone's born anarchist and atheist until people start lying to them" ~ wise philosopher
“John” Wicks looks like a poor man’s version of that furious assassin, Tae Adams. Wicks’ lack of handsomeness even resembles that of Adams’. Sure, we all wish we could look as handsome as Ryan Grant, but there ain’t ever been a correlation between looks and game.
I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
I don't think GB has much of a chance on the road vs. Dallas, but I'm just enjoying the win, especially since it's vs. the Bears.
LOL at Mac Jones 2nd year slump.
It's entirely possible Jordan Love is having a career year, but I doubt it. Jordan Love is surrounded by better talent, and is in a scheme that he has shown he can perform well in. His decision making and arm talent are better than Jones. His OL, his receivers, etc. are better. I'd take MLF over Bill O'Brien for an OC any day. Mac Jones did well with Josh McDaniels, and sucked when he left, so there's that. I suspect talent and coaching have caused Mac Jones to turn into a garbage QB; I don't think GB will make those mistakes with Jordan Love.
We do have a chance against Dallas. They rush the passer well, but when our line is on, they’re pretty good. We have a shot.

LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
? What is OAD?
