Negatives - packers/bears

Lacy looked good.

Sam Shields looked great too! 

Mastay had some nice punts.

Raji played well until he and the defense got gassed. The story will and should be Rodgers and his status moving forward.

But they also missed CMIII. Pass rush goes a long way in making your secondary look better. Their back up had way more time to throw then ours did.

With our schedule we can limp the next three weeks with Wallace, if longer we need to get someone else in there. 

Lacy had had a great game.....

We could have won this game with Wallace.

All the DBs were back, Brad Jones was back...defense was as healthy as it has been lately....18 play 8:58 minute drive in the 4th quarter....that had nothing to do with Aaron Rodgers.

Packers aren't going anywhere without Rodgers. Call me pessimistic but...Wallace didn't exactly inspire confidence tonight. He didn't even throw a pass more than 15 yards.

After Rodgers went down, ESPN put the camera on MM and he can be seen mouthing: "I don't know what the f*** to call". 

That pretty much sums it up. 

Lacy and Starks is our O without AR.

Tolzin couldn't be worse than wallace.

-

Bad Bob McGinn jinxed the Packers again

MM dumb play calling :  3rd and 3 and Wallace gets sacked.  Should have run and run on 4th.

Defense stunk...they choked after Rodgers went out when they should have played doubly tough.

Casey Heyward played TERRIBLE

Where was more of Starks?

Lacy

Lacy / Starks

Interior line until last drive.

Shields

Special Teams.

Negs.

MM - clock mgt, no challenge was huge mistake.

Wallace

TT for not having a backup on the roster. Deep everywhere else.

Enough with the injuries!!

Barclay was awful tonight. Really, really awful.

Other then some nice runs....could barely watch that crap fest.    Surprised it was as close as it was.   Seneca might have the biggest noodle arm in the history of noodle arms.  

They have a better backup QB than us.....difference in the game.

Here is the thing I love about Emery...

+Lacy is a bad ass,

+so is Starks,

+ so is Mashtay

+Pay Shields now!....Forte in the open field is hard to bring down

- Ted Thompson...I love you uncle Ted...and I certainly have grown complacent over the years with  the durability at QB....and yes...the old adage-----there is no replacing Rodgers--but this demonstrates a massive hole he could not or would not fill....Matt Flynn wins this game....A decent  QB that is with the Packers thru Training Camp wins this game..Wallace was a negative today...he seemed lost at times--not understanding lanes or how to avoid the most basic pressure.

-McCarthy not challenging the Quarless catch...What are you saving that for?...Have some sprint plays out of the pocket  for Wallace----were they that afraid of him getting hurt?

-I think the Late love affair with AJ Hawk is officially over.

+ Lacy 

- everyone else

++ 

We know now what Wallace can do: hand off to Lacy.

Our third- and fourth-stringers are pretty darn good. We are scrapping the bottom of the barrel for personnel and they didn't embarass themselves (ok, last drive excepted).

Lacy is darn good. 

We will get to see why they paid to keep Tolzien if Rodgers is out, possibly even next week if Rodgers can't go. I'd rather see Tolzien than WhoCares?Wallace again.

Raji was stout and the second-best player on the field tonight.

--

Injuries. Rodgers out. Lang out? Mulumba out? 

Capers' choice of personnel. No Hyde? No Banjo? No Lattimore? Why?

D's inability to get some sort of stop and Betty White could have gained big yards considering how they tackled.

My prediction unfortunately came true that I thought Peppers would want to play well on national TV. He sucked until tonight.

So.... if Rodgers is out for a month or more, do you sign Flynn now?

Heckova post.

The 2ndary stink,#15 Ran free thru Capers "d"

#38 has a target on him,throw toward him= success!!!

OT failed.

Raji (before he got gassed late)

-

Absolutely everything else

- not sticking with the run on 3rd and 3 at the bears 40 was confusing.

you got 2 plays in that situation. The sack killed our last shot

- also it was first and goal at the 7 (I think) right after the running game was gashing em and Wallace comes out firing. I don't get it.

+ Lacy, Starks....duh

- pass rush/tackling

- Wolfpack/ Pack lose at home on same weekend against crappy rivals and neither team has a QB  Im one ornery bastard

I didn't get to pay that much attention to the game, had it on, but a lot of work and family drama crapped on me.  From what I saw, Seneca Wallace sucks. Can't throw. Can't run. Doesn't seem to know what he's doing. Not sure why he is here. I mean I know there isn't a plethora of great QBs that you can have on your bench sitting out there as free agents but... Surely we should have been able to come up with something better than that.

That McCarthy non-challenge... I thought that was obviously worth a challenge, but aforementioned crap kept me from catching all the replays. Seemed to me like he got possession before his knee hit out of bounds.

On the bright side, if this dumpster fire of a QB situation persists at least we have some bad teams coming up. Though all of a sudden beating the Eagles of all teams seems like a Herculean task.

Apparently MM is tired of Capers' performance tonight.  He threw him under the bus in his opening PC statement.

Edit:  in my opinion that is how I took his comment about the defense not stepping up.

Positive:

-MM looks very poised in the press conference. Intense, focused. 

IMO: I think MM knows more about Rodgers than he's letting on. I think he knows whats wrong and I think he's deceiving the media. Not saying I disagree with what he's doing. But he knows something and the reporters can tell. 

Positive - I did not jump off my roof.

hawk was a bucket of ass tonight.

Barclay is horrid on pass blocking this year.  Newhouse reminds us of why he isn't playing.  Hello Sherrod.

That stuck out to me too. Don't get why they let Wallace throw at all when they were only down by 4 late in the 3rd/early in the 4th. RTFB. Rest your D and get a score. I really doubt CHI could have stopped them.

Gruden just said the Bears had more yards tonight than they've ever had at Lambeau field....with a back up QB

let that sink in, Domass

+ Lacy and Starks. Run game in general

+ ST did a solid job

- Rodgers hurt, disaster for this team

- Wallace at QB, disaster for this team

- Defense. Very disappointing performance. NEeded them to rise to the occasion and they melted. Trestman with great playcalling. D got zero pressure, secondary was awful, tackling was awful. McCown looked like Peyton Manning back there

Positives= Lacy and BJ.

Negatives: Lots. I'm not gonna pick on S. Wallace because he gave what a journeyman backup cold off the bench could be expected to give. Lots different than my in-game rants.

But the defense as whole and the tackling in particular were horrible. And I've never seen a player who did not suffer a major leg injury go to crap as quickly as T. Williams has. Bush wasn't targeted anymore than he's being.

Lacy is becoming one heck of a running back.

Negatives: do I even need to mention it

The defense sucked tonight. Zero pass rush. Poor tackling across the board. Couldn't stop a backup quarterback on third down. I'm tired of Capers' performance. His units have continually come up short in the playoffs, and they blew it tonight, too. When we need the defense to step up, it fails time and time again.

Chicago took the ball late with a 4 point lead, and drove the length of the field, taking more than 8 minutes off the clock before kicking a FG to give them a 7 point lead. Can anybody on this team strip the ball, or get an interception? The Bears are masters of doing this, but I guess we have to actually be in a position to tackle a guy with the ball, which is hard enough for us. 

Just once when I'm able to see the Pack play, I would like to have the game on the line, and see the defense win the game for us. 

+ Rushing attack -- they ran for 200 yards with zero threat to throw the ball. No matter what happens with Rodgers this season, I'm thrilled that he and Lacy and hopefully a healthy o-line will be together for a few more years

+ McCarthy halftime speech -- they came out on fire in 2nd half and loved the surprise onside call. It's worth mentioning with all the hothead coaches out there, I love that MM keeps an even keel and doesn't let his team feel sorry for itself.

- Obviously the back-up QB situation has been badly bungled. Wallace looked incapable of throwing the ball ten yards down the field and couldn't get it over Peppers several times. He couldn't even scramble out of trouble. Just brutal.

- For the last few years we've seen Capers outsmart the Bears coaching staff. It looks like those days are gone with Trestman. The Bears were totally prepared for everything Green Bay schemed. This has always been my concern with Capers -- too predictable and a smart o-coordinator or elite QB makes him pay

-Beyond Capers, there's a real problem when a back-up QB leads a 95 yard drive at the end of the half and then an 8 minute drive at the end of the game. Heyward looked awful in coverage and tackling. Despite the Rodgers injury, this game was winnable thanks to the blocked punt, onside kick, and great running. Not a good showing by the D at all.

Positives: Lacy and Starks were awesome! 

Quarless had a few nice catchers. Anything we get from him in the passing game is a bonus.

I'll mention it again, but where was Hyde? Banjo? Lattimore? You know, the guys who have been playing well the past several weeks and actually tackling? That's just another nail in Capers' coaching coffin tonight.

Sometimes you just gotta tip your hat to Josh McCown, he's that good.

When I realized that Seneca Wallace was our backup I knew I should have had novena's for Rodgers to remain healthy.

Game could have been won with a strong running game and good defense..

We had the running game  tonight.

But, the defense was just horrible when it counted at the end.  The matador tackling by the secondary and bad LB play killed us.  

One missed tackle doesn't define the game. A must make tackle tho!! Would love to say won't happen again but it's football!!!

Uh Casey, in your case it does.  We get the ball back with 8 minutes or so left if you can do your job.  Here's some advice--if you stink up the joint, shut up and work on playing better next week.
