Shields didn't tackle very well, but I don't think he was "poor" in coverage. Take away the 45 yard TD and Marshall had 67 yards receiving. That's pretty good given Marshall's talent and the fact that the Bears were forced to throw from the 2nd quarter onward. Even the TD catch was excusable. Ball was underthrown, and Shields simply outran coverage. Jay Cutler, strong-armed and all, rarely under throws.
Jeffery only had 63 receiving yards but most of them came in garbage time against House.
All in all, a "B" performance from Shields. Would be an A- if Samwise hand't dropped the pick-6.
Shields had 4 missed tackles, dropped a pick 6, and gave up the jump ball to Marshall. DUD.
I believe he also gave up back to back completions on the Bears' first possession of the game.

Against Marshall/Jeffries(Jeffry?), I almost expect that stuff. But I am very dismayed how easily the DBs get stiff armed every single tackle attempt and on the TD, Shields got deflected on the tackle again.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
126? We once had tickets in that section - row 59 seats 1 &2. Our seats are now in section 115 but we haven't been to a game since 2004. My sister uses our tickets now.
You have a sister with Packer tickets?

Flynn is a dud backup QB. Packers had such capable backups during Favre years.
My favorite is T.J. Rubley, how about you? I like a backup QB that audibles out of a QB sneak and then throws a pick to lose the game.
Seriously, who had to be a very capable backup with Favre at the helm? Good gig!
As for Flynn, I don't need him to look like the QB who threw 6 TD's and set the franchise record for passing yards in a game, but he doesn't even look close to that QB now. I'm sure mop up duty is much different than actually having to go out and win games like Drew Stanton will now be asked to do in AZ. Let's just hope we never need to find out what Flynn is really capable of going forward.

Stupid question: Why doesn't the DB, when he's getting stiff armed, just grab the ball carrier's arm and hold on? I've done that in back yard games way back when.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh. John Maxymuk, Packers By The Numbers
