Look on the Brightside

[BallHawk]

We didn't lose because we didn't have the talent to win, we lost because we didn't execute.

This is still a young team being led by a young coach. There will be games where we will lose because of our inexperience. We just need to accept that.

We saw in the 1st half a team that we can be. We saw a team in the 2nd half that we also can be.

We're 4-1, division leaders, so we're obviously playing more like the 1st half team than the 2nd half team.

These mistakes should be corrected in due time. MM needs to learn how to playcall. JJ needs to learn to hold onto the ball. Collins needs to learn how to get his head out of his ass. Wynn needs to learn how to stay healthy.

These are things that are correctable (though bulldog will argue on one of them). We have the talent to win and be a playoff team, it's the execution that we need to learn.

We've still got a chance to go 5-1 into the bye week. If we do that we can go out, win half of our games, and we're 10-6, almost a lock for the playoffs.

Everybody is feeling down right now, but there is a silver-lining in this loss. This team needs to learn from this game and we need to come out playing tough and smart next Sunday.

aGREE but the bears D is depleted and their qb play is awful

This team is not a title contender in 2007. It never was. I thought they would be 7-9. They probably will end up a little better than that seeing how weak the AFC West is now. I thought the AFC West was going to be much stronger than they look right now.

At this point, I figured they would be 3-2...they are 4-1.

Griese is a decent QB. If he plays for the Vikings we lose the game last Sunday.

I don't understand why we didn't stick with the slant and continue our assault of the Bears secondary. It's almost as if when JJ fumbled, M3 lost confidence in all of his WRs.

There's no such thing as a good loss; I've never believed that. But there are lessons from a loss, and hopefully those lessons will help coach up this team this next week, so they can come out with more energy, more ball security, and more ability to take care of business.

Griese has never led a team to the playoffs and he has some major shortcomings but he did play rather well tonight

The playaction was a great play by not only Griese, but by everybody on the field for the Bears, not to mention the sidelines.

Agree 100%.

WE ARE 4 and 1.

That is really good.

Even after giving this one away, all things considered, I'm still glad I'm not a Bear fan!!!

[CaliforniaCheez]

I expressed my convern regarding the back up Center position long befor the draft.

Now Ted must deal finally deal with it.

That was a well desguised and executed play.

It looked easier than it actually is.

The Pack lost and are not 5-0 and that is disappointing, but most Packer fans never even thought we would be 4-1. Including me. I'm still upset about the loss, but I do believe there is a bright future for this team. M3 realyy needs to focus on those turnovers and get ready for the Redskins. The Redskins are a good team. If the Pack beat the redskins they are 5-1 going into the bye.

[The Shadow]

This, too, shall pass.
Now the Redskins will be overconfident - and we will be mean!
