OFFICIAL Game Day Thread: Bears @ Packers

[HarveyWallbangers]

where the hell was the offense we saw in the preseason?

Honestly, I think the coaches were surprised with (and didn't game plan for) how much Barbre would struggle. They were also slow to give him help. It was the worst thing to come out of this game, but I think they'll be better able to handle it in the future.

Barbre lost his cherry tonite.

He's got a long way to go, but it was his 1st league start. He learned the diff btw game speed and pre-seson. that's for sure.

I would have thought the Pack could have used their 2 tight ends in the middle of the field with da bears down two LBs. Nothing though...weird.

Part of the problem was the Bears kept overloading and blitzing up the middle. RB's and TE's were shoring up the middle, leaving Barbre to fend for himself mostly and he got schooled by a solid vet.

No Finley tonight...... weird is right.

Stand by for a cutler/hester td....

I'm still waiting.

But we won TOP most of last year. The defense had no exhaustion excuse in most games last year.

They may not have had a good excuse, but they were exhausted last year at the end of seemingly every game.

Nothing made me feel better about this season than that goal line stand in with 3 minutes left. We couldn't have done that last year, especially after being jobbed by a faux penalty. No way. Credit to Capers.

no protection ='s no TE's running across the middle. they couldn't use that part of the gameplan. No way.

[pbmax]

The Pack did run some two TE in the 2nd half. They also had TE on the right and some RBs behind him.

But they didn't do it for every play.

Time to tune into Chicago Sports radio in the morning.

I love the sound of Bear fans in the morning after a loss. Sounds like...victory.

Desmond Clark left the stadium on a stretcher. My thoughts are with him.

Eek, that sounds bad. Do we have any idea what general area of the body he injured? It looked like a back injury on TV (which is potentially very very bad), but I wasn't sure. Still, I hope he's okay.
