+ and -'s from Week 1 Game

[channtheman]

Let's not forget Mr. Swain.

But team chemistry is now dropping at an alarming rate without Ruvell. Down to 3.9/10 now.


BTW, did anyone else think on the first bomb miss to Driver that Driver slowed down his route? It looked like if he had kept running he would have been right where the ball was thrown. The second bomb was just Rodgers being off I think. I may have to go back and look again but I definitely thought the first one was on Driver.

For such limited time in preseason, I really liked Matthews tonight... he seemed to be much more assignment sure and around the ball tonight. Jenkins I thought was awesome tonight.

I loved how Matthews got in Cutlers face, and is head. Not sure what he siad but did one of those 3 year old slappy, pushy away things on him :P

i can't really think of any mistakes made by our front 7

those guys had a hell of a game

I would not say Rodgers had a bad day. Barbre, in particular, did a poor job of pass protection which led to at least 3 sacks.

Their were a number of dropped passes which were hardly Rodgers' fault. Driver dropped two passes, Wynn dropped another, and Nelson should have caught a deep pass which bounced off his fingertips.

If the O-line gives Rodgers enough time, he will pick apart most secondaries, IMO.

I completely agree. The main criticism I would have of Rodgers is that he lacked touch on his deep balls, but those are high degree of difficulty passes.

I saw the same thing. It looked like right as Driver came out of his second cut he slowed up just a bit.

Jenkins was a beast. I thought Chillar did pretty well against the run.

It's going to be very quiet down here today. Priceless.

Nice to see Hawk play with some aggression

Even though one of the refs should be fired after the no-call on illegal formation on the Bears and instead gave Harris a illegal contact penalty. You gotta love it when they even they cannot believe someone did something soo Stupid

[Cheesehead Craig]

Jenkins had the best game of any defender out there last night.

Overall, I was very impressed with our LB corps. I thought Hawk and Matthews played quite well vs the run.

[gbgary]

pluses for me was the overall performance of the defense...they were great...thank god because the O sucked. looked just like last year. it was run or throw deep, couldn't put drives together, left the defense on the field too long.

who said that Chillar was no damn good? I want names. I want to see some humble pie eating.

[Harlan Huckleby]

face it, the big plus for this game was that Rodgers rallied the team to win. There would be nothing but bitchin and long faces in here if the Bears had stopped them. The Bears played tough defense the whole game.

On a personal note, the game I experienced sucked SEVERE ass. The Packer offense was disrupted most of the night, I found it frustrating to watch. I was watching late last night on DVR, and my fucking machine stopped recording just before the packers made their thrilling comeback. Had to come on here and read the last 10 pages of the game thread.

Nelson did a good job returning kicks. He will have a couple big ones if he does it the entire season. He was a little shakey catching punts (a couple of slight bobbles) but Maynard didn't give him much of a chance.

[Bossman641]

Nelson did an alright job. He doesn't have nearly enough acceleration to be a punt returner. That's not quite as big a problem at KR cause he has room to get some steam going.

He makes up for his lack of acceleration by running forward.
