More Banjo - Packers Beat F***in' Bears

[RashanGary]

As soon as I realize we could kneel down, I started the chant

[texaspackerbacker]

Then I'll put YOU on the stud list hahahahahaha.

[MadScientist]

Packers will play 3:30 Sunday.

I was a bit surprised that this one didn't go to Peacock to grab the big fan bases of the Packers and the Cowboys. But maybe they are hoping for Tay-Tay to bring in the audience.

[CaptainKickass]

Just a couple items I didn't see mentioned elsewhere on this site:

Aaron Jones became the first player since (Batman!) Ahman Green in 2006 to rush for 100 or more yards in three straight games

Dontayvion Jaquain Wicks has this really devastating shake n bake move and he used it at least twice

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Just a couple items I didn't see mentioned elsewhere on this site:

“John” Wicks looks like a poor man’s version of that furious assassin, Tae Adams. Wicks’ lack of handsomeness even resembles that of Adams’. Sure, we all wish we could look as handsome as Ryan Grant, but there ain’t ever been a correlation between looks and game.

Best, worst PFF scores.

Top 5 offense

1. QB Jordan Love: 83.0
2. RG Jon Runyan Jr.: 81.0
3. RB Aaron Jones: 80.4
4. WR Bo Melton: 77.7
5. WR Dontayvion Wicks: 76.6

Love chewed up the Bears from clean pockets, under pressure, against the blitz and off play-action. He was dinged for two turnover worthy plays, but he also completed eight passes of 10 or more yards. Runyan Jr. didn’t give up a pressure and was the team’s highest-graded run blocker over 31 snaps. Jones forced seven missed tackles and had four runs of 10 or more yards, and he created 10 first downs overall. Melton caught five passes for 62 yards on 25 routes run. He had a touchdown reversed on replay. Wicks caught two touchdown passes, two contested catches and averaged 2.26 yards per route run.

Top 5 defense

1. DL Karl Brooks: 89.4
2. LB Quay Walker: 76.1
3. DL Kenny Clark: 75.9
4. CB Jaire Alexander: 74.9
5. DL T.J. Slaton: 71.0

Brooks had three pressures, including a sack, and he finished with two tackles for losses over 17 snaps. Walker missed two tackles but produced three pressures, including a sack, and three stops. Clark led the team with five pressures. Alexander had a run stop and a pass breakup and gave up just one catch in coverage. Slaton added another run stop.

Bottom 5 offense

1. WR Romeo Doubs: 53.6
2. TE Ben Sims: 55.9
3. RB Patrick Taylor: 56.1
4. WR Malik Heath: 56.7
5. RG Sean Rhyan: 61.1

Doubs was unable to make a contested catch for a touchdown, and he left due to injury after 11 snaps. Sims didn’t have a target in the passing game and was only average as a run blocker. Taylor played 11 snaps but didn’t have a carry or a target. Heath was targeted four times and generated nine receiving yards over 10 routes. Rhyan was perfect in pass protection but received poor run blocking grades over his 31 snaps at right guard.

Bottom 5 defense

1. OLB Lukas Van Ness: 44.2
2. OLB Kingsley Enagbare: 44.9
3. DL Devonte Wyatt: 50.9
4. CB Carrington Valentine: 54.1
5. CB Keisean Nixon: 62.0

Van Ness had a sack and a run stop, but he earned poor run defense grades over seven run-defending snaps on the edge. Enagbare had a hurry and a tackle for loss but got dinged for allowing a completion in coverage. Wyatt had four pressures, including a sack, but he missed another tackle and was below average against the run. Valentine broke up a pass but was charged with giving up three catches for 32 yards. Nixon allowed one explosive play but was otherwise solid.


Special teams

The Packers didn’t have a penalty on special teams and missed only one tackle (by running back Patrick Taylor). Jonathan Owens, Kristian Welch, Zayne Anderson and Robert Rochell all had tackles covering kickoffs, and Welch earned the top special teams grade overall. In the return game, Jayden Reed made two fair catches and Keisean Nixon returned one kick for 21 yards. Anders Carlson missed a field goal from 41 yards. Daniel Whelan wasn’t needed to punt.

Quarterback

Jordan Love: 83.0

Love completed 24 of 29 passes from clean pockets, 3 of 3 passes under pressure and 5 of 5 passes against the blitz. He had three “big time throws” and two “turnover worthy plays.” On throws over 10 yards, Love was 8-for-11. On throws off play-action, he was 8 of 8 for 148 yards and a touchdown. He got dinged for losing a fumble, and his heave into the end zone late in the first half was nearly intercepted. Love’s 90.3 passing grade was his third highest of the season overall.

Stat to know

Jordan Love was under pressure on just four of 34 dropbacks, or 11.8 percent. Justin Fields was under pressure on 15 of his 24 dropbacks, or 62.5 percent. The final sack total was Packers 5, Bears 1. Winning the pressure battle remains a big piece of the puzzle when it comes to playing winning football.

SOME COOL INSIDE TIDBITS from WILDE and TAUCH and INSIDERS

Before the game was even over, as Love was giving the ball up the Flower was sprinting out to give the Love Machine a big hug. Both felt this team was hands down the Flowers' fave

After the game, Wicks dedicated his season to his ex teammate from last year who was shot and killed...I think on the team bus after a game

Fun celebration to watch for Wilde after the game

[call_me_ishmael]

The OC deserves some credit for getting the OL performing. They have been pretty good the past 8 weeks or so. He took a lot of heat last year for the stinker after so many great years. Good to see a bounce back.

Getting to the playoffs without savior rodgers would’ve been a big accomplishment on its own. Doing it the first season he’s gone with what was considered a lesser team than last year is even more impressive. If you think about it both of his ex coaches doing pretty decent…

Don't know why it is locked. I wanted to add this:

Immaturity reigns in the Bears locker room. The players are as bad as the fans:

Chicago Bears safety Jaquan Brisker had some critical thoughts about the Green Bay Packers after Sunday's 17-9 loss at Lambeau Field, and don't think Packers players didn't notice.

“I felt like we could have tightened up on the receivers a lot more than we did today," Brisker told reporters in the locker room afterward, according to Mart Grote, a reporter from The Score radio in Chicago. "We gave them too much room and I really have no respect for them at all, just to be honest.

“No one’s over there. No respect. They have no stars over there. They try to play a little fake tough.”

As Aaron Jones, Preston Smith and others pointed out, it was his job to cover the receivers.

In short, he is insulting himself.

[George Cumby]

I saw that in the Bears subReddit.

It was about 60:40 "STFU, dude, you just got curb-stomped": "Yeah! That's my GUY!"

[run pMc]

For a team that has won 10 games total over the last two seasons, the Bears sure do talk a lot.

I liked Brisker as a player coming out of PSU, but seems like he talks better than he plays.
Eberflus isn't a bad defensive coach, after he lost his DC for HR reasons (lol) and took over play calling they got better. Trading for Montez Sweat helps too.

Anyway, he's a sore loser, and any Bears player who wants to talk smack after going 0 for 10 against MLF should really reconsider it.

Even though the score was close, GB played like the better team. Scoreboard aside, the yardage allowed spoke for itself.

[Fritz]

Seems to me that Brisker was throwing his coaching staff under the bus as well: "I felt like we could have tightened up on the receivers a lot more than we did today."

He's suggesting the Bears' defensive coordinator employed Joe Barely's "D-Backs in Outer Space" defensive alignment.

I never understood anyone making an excuse for failure; excusing their failure with emphasis on the pronown' their '. If you fail it'd on you to fix it.

This chap. takes it to another level of ' stupid ' by insulting the quality of the winner.

Preston et al should have said "who? is he a member of the cowboys? Cuz we are playing the cowboys. The bears game is over."
