    Next play 4th and 1 is the Cutler fumble and run. Packers are in a 4-3 (2-5) again with Burnett playing up for an 8 man box. Neal and Daniels quit on the play after being ridden to the side, are flat footed waiting for the whistle as Cutler picks it up and runs past them. Everyone else in coverage and thank god because he could have thrown and easy TD.

    2nd Quarter, same drive there are a bunch of X and goal plays from the 1 during our kick ass goal line stand.

    Later in 2nd quarter at 5:56, 2nd and 1. Forte stuffed for no gain.

    Next play 3rd and 1, Bears go big bringing in an extra lineman. Packers go 4-3 with Burnett up in the box. 4 yard gain by forte.

    3rd quarter at 8:19, 3rd and 1 is the QB sneak for 2.

    I'm going to stop here because after this point is both ints and the game gets considerably less competitive. Plus I must have the wrong game because I didn't see any of what you're talking about.
    You and Max... Dom's ur guy - 176 yds/game on the ground is a fine trade off... wonder why no other DC in the history of the game ever came to that conclusion?? It's so obvious, it's brilliant!!!

    I'll take 500 yards on the ground if it means only 17 points.

    One of McCarthy's key metrics is explosive play differential. The last 2 games illustrate why.

    Wow... I truly live in an insane world - where getting run over like little sissies is actually considered good defense, lol.

    If you look at the stats of the Bears game, it's pretty obvious what the plan was: Don't let Brandon Marshall and Jeffery beat you. You take those guys away, and Cutler is average at best. So most of the yards went to Forte and Bennett. It's not that they wouldn't have liked to do a better job against those guys, but they knew Forte couldn't beat them.

    Pack took away Marshall for sure, Forte was doing a number on them until Cutler 'took control of the game' by forcing a few balls.

    What worries me a bit is when it goes the other way. Detroit said they focused on Nelson, they shut him down and the Pack's O floundered. We like to think the other weapons in this O prevent that from happening, but last night was the only time we've seen it.

    This is where I'm at too. Last night was pretty crappy conditions for footwork which honestly is probably more conducive for big plays since shit happens, guys slip or fall, and its just generally tougher to play tight defense against a well timed passing attack. Lacy doing that kind of damage with only 13 carries is going to make this offense sing everytime though.

    They dropped a lot of balls vs Detroit. Heck, if Cobb catches that pass up the sideline that dropped in the bucket, the game might look totally different.

    It was nice to see that Greg Jennings is enjoying his retirement in Minnesota.

    Lets review her thoughts for old times sake:

    Aaron Rodgers come on u had GJ for the TD twice. Get him the [ball emoji] geez!!!!!
    Why was that ball under thrown like that, he was wide open make the throw for the receiver!!! Geeez!!
    My God Aaron Rodgers holds the ball forever! GJ was wide open 5x for that touchdown! Goodness he acts like he doesn't want to throw to him[yelly face emoji]
    GJ is the only receiver that has to jump in the air with both hands up to get the [ball emoji]!!! It's ridiculous I pray he departs GB ASAP!
    Aaron Rodgers smh! Had him in the slot wide open no one even covered him! Where is Peyton Manning when u need him! This is utterly pathetic
    @Da_mrs_85 Eb, Cortney, and Jahlin. We are hot Mad! I've never seen a star receiver ever go through this smh! @GregJennings needs to bounce[yelly face emoji]
    It is so obvious that @GregJennings is being blatantly ignored by ARod. Maybe @ halftime GJ should put on #18 then ARod will force [ball emoji] to him!
    Who can make a play @GregJennings can! He's the best freakin receiver these clowns got! Now take your talents to south beach & get paid![sack of money emoji][dollar bill emoji]
    @GregJennings ball out so you can leave this team! They will miss u when your gone! It's all good bye packers! Cheap team, can't afford him
    @Da_mrs_85 I don't freakin care he should have more catches, if this idiot could see the coverage!![yelly face emoji] Then he holds on to the ball & fumbles!
    ARod is the most overrated QB in the league! He is no where near Peyton or Brady! It sickens me, Peyton would avg. 5 TD with this squad!!!

    What's funny is that Jennings had a huge statistical game in that one. He had 8 catches for 120 yards and 2 TDs. With the Vikings he's had 5 TDs in 21 games. He's surpassed 7 receptions just once. He has one 100 yard game.
