MISTAKES

[packer4life]

thanks for the input. this team is showing flashes of true brilliance in between all the trash. There were certain plays both on offense and defense that were complete dominance. During those plays, you realize we got something special. We had to do everything possible to lose this game, that was the only way we were going to lose. We are stacked with playmakers; look at the bears, they have a fair amount, but i would bet our guys beat their guys 8 times out of 10. This game was a fluke. We are still winning this division. We are still riding far in the playoffs. (But for christ sake, clean it up!)

Hopefully we got the horrible game out of the system for this season..... because we stunk it up bad. We should have beat the Bears easily......but that's why you play the games.....

We made our mistakes, but the bears did too. The only difference is the mistakes we made received flag after flag, while the ones made by the bears deserving of flags got nothing but applause from the fan-officials.

Re: MISTAKES

Barnett's INT was called back. Chicago kicked a field goal to tie. 3 points

Actually likely 6-10 points because Barnett's INT would have put the Packers in field goal position.

I thought the call on Zombo was legit. There were a bunch of others that I thought were bullshit, but Zombo has got to learn to get lower and not lead with the helmet in that situation. The league is cracking down on that for a few years now. I don't really like it either, but its for the safety of the players.

Agreed. Actually, a majority of the calls were legit. We were sloppy (coaches included), and we deserved to lose. However, I felt like the more talented team lost tonight. Would have been a huge win, but I think we take this division in the end.

Take it in the rear end? That's how it looked last night!

So I was perusing through an old game program from 1947 and just happened to stumble into this. Here's how long it's been since a team has committed as many penalties in a Packer game as the Packers did last night. The Brooklyn team committed 17 penalties on this day in 1945. That record stood for 65 years until last night.

Zombo's penalty on Cutler was huge, but other than that, he represented OK I thought.

I thought it was a questionable call. i don't think the roughing the passer was called evenly tonight.

Both roughing the passer calls were legit and I'll even go so far as to say the borderline one was the one delivered to ARod, and Rodgers has been the recipient of his fair share of nasty hits in his career so far. Now if we want to discuss holding calls and how they were distributed...

[Pugger]

You could blame James Jones careless fumble

Or you could blame Frank Zombo and his high hit.

Or DB's for failing to hang on to INT's

Or Bulaga and Sitton for letting Peppers block a chip shot FG.

Or the coverage teams that could not stay in their lanes and contain Hester.

Or the coaching staff for never seeming to take the Bears seriously.


Mike McCarthy will say "We're gonna fix it."
He may be saying it 10 years from now and believe it
We're gonna fix it.

Seriously, we reserver our shittiest games for the fucking Bears of all teams, and no one is more shitty against them than James fucking Jones. I believe it was 2007 the shit had two fumbles in the first quarter?

Yup.

At the neighbor's house, we were talking about the unnecessary roughness called on Collins(?) with the Hester tackle. It looked like a top rate acting job by Hester, kicking his leg up and taking a dive. No real UR there but Hester sure sold the hell out of it.

Collins was in the wrong here. I could clearly hear a whistle even tho Hester was not on the ground. Once the ref blew the whistle the play is over.

Yep. Penalties on us were not made up. I thought the Burnett call in another game may not have happened but we were so sloppy up to that point that became almost automatic.

I thought the holding call that negated the Finley touchdown was ticky-tack.

Unfortunately Mark had Peppers jersey for all the world to see.

I think the bares played about as well as they can play Monday night and won only because we screwed up. Even with all of our gaffs we still had a chance to win until that doofas Jones got stripped again against the bares. When we didn't mess up they had no answer for our passing attack and we could move the ball at will when we took our heads out of our fannies and played sound football.
