God I want the Steelers to come back in this one. The Score would be epic if they blow this lead.
what a ****ty ****ing sunday for football.
Pack fail to close their game out, Bears don't. Lame sunday is right
Hmm, I really didn't think he had possession of that ball before that foot left the ground *shrug*
Looks like the Bears will survive.
Somebody wake me up from this nightmare of a day.
Bears: 4 takeaways, 23 pts of takeaways.
Same ole Bears, IMO.
Looks like the Pack is going to be looking at the butts of TWO NFCN teams. Gonna take a MUCH better Packers team than this one to just MAKE the playoffs. We're going to be on the receiving end of payback if we don't get healthy, stay healthy, and straighten out our act. So far, this ain't fun.
oh c'mon. it's not that bad. at least we're not the Giants.
GB started 1-2 last year. Wrapped up division before week 16. Relax. Lots of football left.
It's actually not bad at all. This Packer team will be there at the end.

What happened last year means nothing regarding this years team
I do agree though that it's way too early to panic. Not even through the 1st quarter of the season yet
Deep, you're a trip!
But your guys have started well. I'm looking forward to our first matchup! Just wish it wasn't so long away.
Looking at your schedule, it looks like your only tough game may be vs the 'Aints (week 5) before our game (week 9). Even assuming you lose the Saints game, you guys have a real chance of being 6-1 by the time we meet.
It's CHI's year this year. They're playing well AND getting the bounces. Will be a tough two games with them.
Henry Melton with a possible ACL tear - that would be a huge blow to their D.
** edit ** confirmed, torn ACL, done for the year.

How are they any different than what they were before? They still rely on takeaways and defensive scoring to win games. They've played Andy Dalton, Christian Ponder and Ben Roethlisberger. Let's see what happens when they play a QB who isn't a turnover machine.
And takeaways and defensive scoring are bad things? Their O is now producing when it has to also. Did you miss that? We've seen this all before but they might actually have a guy that can call offensive plays now. Yeah, it's 3 games but if we don't worry about the Bears, who are we going to worry about?
Take aways and defensive touchdowns are beautiful things...but like all things of beauty they fade...you live by them, you will die by them...this has been the Bears story since 1987...regression toward the mean will do them in again
