"Game ball to Gutey for adding Amos and the Smith brothers."
Z Smith kept looking at the bears during the game like he was going to eat one of them.
Here’s the thing. The offense is going to get better. So is the defense.
Chicago has to come go GB now.

I don't care how it looks. I don't care about how it happens. Any win over the No Good Stinkin Ass bears™ is a great win.

Exactly. **** steal. They weathered an early onslaught, 12 put some magic on a drive to pull ahead, they had sustained 4th quarter pass rush, and won the turnover battle. They earned every second of that.

And F the 'not a leader' fake news asshats. All 12 wanted to do was talk about the D.
He knows....

Will do, I am anxious to see how our new college offense and smurf QB do.
Stealing in the sense of winning a road game against a solid team? Not the way I see it. The Packers dominated the game. Not in a blow out fashion, but in a CHI never really got any momentum or rhythm kind of vibe.
Huge credos to Angry Bald Man.
It wasn’t just that we held them to 3 points, because Bitch Trumisky shit the bed as much as anything, it’s that we once again have stars and impact players on D. It wasn’t just the Clay Matthews show...we had 2 OLBs who were outstanding, 2 Safeties who were outstanding, a shut down CB, and an interior DL that held all game. I wasn’t praying SOMEONE would make a play, I knew it would happen and tried to guess WHO it would be!
Opie earned the right to not be called Opie anymore after that performance.

Fuggin YEAH.
They worked, it was a complete TEAM effort.
I think it will be forgotten or understated, but this just might (will) set up the momentum for the year.
At first I was worried about so many games at home, but, if they get it all figured out and everything gets better. . . Well. . .
2019 it gonna be fun!

Vets and youngsters. Dare I say we may not have to watch clueless defenders running all over at the snap? One thing that stood out- against a team with just 10 drops all last year-there weren't too many uncontested completions for the Bores. It's one game, but they all had an idea of what they were doing. Impressive outing on the road.
One thing I do want to say.
The pass call on 2nd down of that last drive was a great call. The process and thinking was great, the result of the play wasn't exactly what you wanted. But I contend it didn't hurt them in any way. Even before knowing what Chicago did/didn't do on their last drive. It was 6 in one, half dozen the other. It didn't give Chicago more time than they would have gotten. All it did was give Chicago 1 TO on the last drive.
On the Packers possession, Chicago had all 3 TOs. And that is THE key here. Anything other than 3, you run it 3 times and hope for the best. KNOWING you'll be able to milk clock.
If you would have run there on 2nd, I'm guessing they would have gained minimal yards. Chicago would have called TO, after the same amount of clock would have run. You'd run again on 3rd down, probably not get the first, timeout. Punt
Whether you passed there or ran there the amount of time Chicago had on that final drive would have been the same ~90 seconds. The only difference is do you give Chicago 1 TO or 0 TOs. In today's NFL, I think the difference between getting the ball on your own 14 with 1:30 and 0 TOs or 1:33 and 1 TOs is pretty insignificant.
So to me it boils down to the risk/reward. This isn't risking an incompletion and giving them 90 seconds vs 20. The only "risk" was giving them 1 TO or 0 TO. They were going to get ~90 seconds regardless. Unless you got a 1st down.
The downside to a pass is you give them 1 TO vs 0 with the same amount of time on the clock. The reward was completing that pass for a 1st and clinching the game.
Again. If Chicago has anything less than 3 TOs then you run it 3 times and milk clock. With 3 TOs you couldn't milk the clock, and to me the BEST call was to try and get the first down. And for this team that's putting it in the hands of the best QB on the planet. And, realistically, the play was there, it was just not executed.
To me, that is a great sign for MLF and his understanding of the clock and the situation.
It's hard to drive the whole field against an NFL defense. That's one reason Rodgers' long ball accuracy is such an advantage. Tonight, they gained yards that let them win the field position war and force the Bears to start deep in their own end most of the time. Scott was a real weapon tonight.
My goodness it’s been a long while since we’ve seen seen speed and smarts at safety.
Amos and Savage are going to be lethal in 6 weeks.
Aaron Rodgers loves this defense. He said that they did not get to a lot of plays tonight.
FU Rodney Harrison. Punk.
FU Florio.
FU Simms. Friggin' loser.
And the most special FU to the biggest homer of them all, the classy Tony Dungy!
Can't wait for PFT in the morning! I hope there is a huge bowl of crow on the set for Florio and Simms to eat.

That play call was a nod to Pettine. This team shouldn’t peak too early. Lots of work to do on offense. Lots of work. But this team could be really, really good.

You’d appreciate them if they all picked GB? Would it even matter if they did?
A defense that gives 12 a shit-eating-grin. I am a happy Packer fan tonight. There was a notable absence of frustration from 12 when things were sideways at the beginning. To me (hopefully) that suggests he felt comfortable with the sideline communication and the game plan.
Part of what makes the NFL so compelling is the stakes are so high with each contest. 16 nights a year with hundreds of millions of dollars invested, countless hours of family time sacrificed in scouting and preparation, and tier one athletes in the prime of their lives risking permanent physical and mental health (most for a chance at getting the life changing money and not actually getting it).
This was a huge win for the franchise. Buys MLF some time to improve the process without being hounded and second guessed by the press. Not enough to get over confident, but enough to have breathing room to focus on getting better instead of dealing with a nationwide cadre of social media personalities pushing sensation for clicks. Can't be emphasized enough how critical having one less thing to worry about can be for someone with so much responsibility on their first go round.
Definitely didn't forsee the game going this well. Nice to put a little something in Trubisky's head, too. Enjoy the pressure this week, ****o. 
I think this was the perfect game for the 100th season opener.
A veritable throwback to the great defensive teams of the 60's and 70's and the 6-3, 7-6, 10-7, hard-fought wins.
Both teams under constant pressure the entire game, because just one mistake can win or lose the game.
Too bad we don't get to see many of them anymore.

Yup. A 1st there was a win.
I loved the call and I love the message it sent to the team. The D knew their job after and went and won it anyway.
Am reading all your posts......and really don’t care what ya’ll say....WE WON!!!!!!!!!? 
That call takes stones of steel from a 1st year coach. I ****ing love it!!! That's BB stones territory

Whatever you call him, he blows. He hit some good passes, and while they had drops it seemed most his incompletions were just shit throws. Lotta work to do with him still to make him a legit passer. I think their offensive dysfunction stems completely from his inability to truly be a threat in the passing game beyond some easy timing throws. Nagy isn’t going to dink and dunk his way to a SB...Big Andy realized it and it’s why he changed out his steady veteran Alex Smith for a wild armed gunslinger in Mahomes.

Tramon Williams paraphrase "Our plan was to make Mitch play QB tonight"
I had no problem with the play call on 2nd down of the O's last series. It's going against tendencies and the play was there! The throw from Rodgers was poor. It was just execution. Lots to work on, but so many positives. Team looked like it came out Chicago healthy, too. Can't really ask for much better than that.
