This is the thread that Nutz used to contribute and I will leave it up to him whether he wants to add his 2, 4 or 8 cents in to make it more thorough.
But I wanted to mention two groups that had nothing more in common except the title of old, weekly thread.
Winner: For all the bad play they have exhibited this year, the special teams coverage units delivered big time. The offense at times did all it could to keep the Bears in the game and Cutler had three magnificent throws, two for TDs and one for a first down against Wood. But the one area the Bear's should have won, the Packer's coverage units kept it even. Even though the Packers 206 yard field position advantage was in large part due to turnovers by Cutler, the fact that the ST held their own is a big plus. It will be huge if they could keep this up. Cyril Obiozor is apparently just a beast.
Loser: Offensive Line. Specifically pass protection. Everyone except Cliffy miffed one that I saw, but Tauscher got beat like a drum by Ogunleye. Mark has a hurt knee and probably wasn't 100%, but Ogunleye at one point went by Tauscher by faking outside then rushing inside. Tauscher never laid a hand on him. It looked like Allen Iverson or Chris Paul crossed him over. I think Lang may need to start. Marinelli must be a very good D line coach.
Bonus Loser: Jordy Nelson must be replaced at returner. At least on punts.
