Positives/Negatives, GB/CHI

+ Kiel gets to have a field day with all the bed ****ting posts in the GDT (mine included)

- Dom Capers gets to keep his job because Aaron Rodgers is the greatest quarterback in NFL history

+

A win and the Packers now control their destiny.

Monty

-

Fourth quarter collapse on both sides of the ball. 

+ for the defense keeping their heads up when the chips were down.  This is a world class offense from a perennial super bowl participant steered by a hall of fame QB.  They showed their mettle today.

Who put Duvante in a time machine? 

+- Win, Monty, Ha Ha, Rodgers 

- Giving up big lead, Mathews, corners, did Cobb miss the plane?

+detoilet queens

+heartbeat, 12, 88, 87, 89

+21,56, 3rd q d

-4th q d - i mean wow, collapse.

listen, i will take an ugly win when it matters any way, and how bout that clutch throw  - i need to go take my heartburn meds...

Positives

+ Monty looks like Barry Sanders

+ Rodgers accuracy is back.  

+ Running the ball in the redzone 

Negatives

- Adams two dropped TD's 

- Randall and Rolins both had rough days

- No 4th quarter pass rush.

+ Monty

That throw

Micah Hyde tipping the ball at the goal line

- Defense, and it isn't just the scheme, it is the talent

Pass rush

Offense going asleep / MM

Clay and Perry had the same affect in the game

++ Has there ever been a better QB throwing the long ball at the end of games? I didn't think so!

++ Monty, Michael, Jordy to track that ball down and hold on

-- Dom, Dom, Dom, 4 sacks

Clay is done.  Didn't see him get ANY pressure today.  Their pass rush is weak and needs to improve or a good QB is going to put up a lot more points than Barkley did.  I'm hoping the defense is more like last week and this week is just a minor detour. 

Paws:

Rodgers playing at yet another MVP level and was it just me, or was he moving far better then most expected?

Jordy redeemed himself. 

Monty was a beast today. 

They went to Jared 

Neg:

DUH-vante. Wtf. 

Capers still sucks. 

CMIII earning a lot of money doing nothing. 

I would like to echo the 52 sentiment, but his injury is bad, so he should sit and try to rest a bit...I know its a pain thing, but if he sucks like he did today, have a seat young man...esp when the schemes are all planned around him actually doing something.

Not sure if Clay is done, but he is hurt and has not played well ever when hurt.  

And the talent on the defensive side of the ball is fine.  

++ Jordy, Monty, Cook, Christine

+ Ha-Ha, Peppers for 1 play, Hyde with the 2nd star play of the game.

-- Defense collapse in the 4th

+  Damn near everything today

-  This years game threads.  The defense could have done a better job today but for f*** sakes, gotta give Barclay and the bears some credit too.  Barclay is for real and the Bears will be a legitimate team next year.  That 4th quarter comeback was all about Barclay making great reads and excellent throws.   Our defense wasn't tackling well and we were getting no pressure but god damn it the other team gets paid too.  Everything isn't always our fault when the other team plays well.  

Matthews as a negative???  WTF the dude has a separated shoulder what do you expect from him? 

I just don't understand how some people can't be happy to watch an amazing game played in 10 degree weather with the oldest rivalry in football with an incredibly exciting finish.  I guess if every game isn't a blowout win then the packers have to clean house and get rid of that shi*y GM and his shi*ty draft pics and his shi*ty coaches. 

+ It's a win baby.

- I would so like to be smoking a cigar on my porch while listening to 'Pack  Attack', but it's ****ing zero degrees out there.

They had an interview with Clay in the pre-game broadcast.  He pretty much admitted his shoulder needs surgery in the offseason.   So all he can do is gut it out.  Hopefully he heals enough to become functional again.

Also, kudos to Aaron for gutting it out too!

You don't get frustrated when the Packers give up a 17-point lead lickety-split?

If the Packers can play in that weather, you can smoke a cigar in it.

Clay shouldn't be playing. Neither should Dom. Clay will be back. Dom should be fired.

Of course I do.  I just don't post every negative thought I have. I don't just sit there with my fingers on the keyboard waiting for something negative to post. 

TBH I get the negativity when 4th quarters like this one come around but this year it's just overkill IMHO.  We are so Fn spoiled as Packer fans,  I guess I just try to appreciate that and all of Joy that Packers organization has given me over the better part of my lifetime.

I still love x4 and will be here every week of the season but damn man, I get more frustrated reading some of the posts than I do with being capered or zooked.

Good

Montgomery almost full throttle and getting better and better

Jordy feeling the force

Rodgers: lots of guts and lots of glory

Cook starting to pay dividends

Fox chooses the FG to tie

Peppers big sack to get momentum

Bad

Some poor tackling and missed tackles

Adams drops: the first TD miss might have been sunshine

Why was Montgomery returning kicks

Cobb MIA?

Was on the road & had to listen to the game. We almost had to pin the loss on Wayne Larrivee, who pulled out "and there is your dagger" on the TD to make it 27-10 Question for those who watched the game. Larry & Wayne commented that when we got the lead we went to "soft" coverage which really got the Bears going, any comments on their observation? 

+ Swept the Bears.

Only NFC North team to win in week 15.

After losing 4 in a row, winning 4 in a row.

94-94-6 finally tied them after the Bears having the lead on us Since September 24th 1933.

Packers now control their own density. Win out and a division title/playoff berth is there.

Monty's great day.

Aaron breaking the hearts of the Bears yet again at Soldier Field.

Bears throwing it all out to beat us and we had the resolve to get the win.

This team is peaking at the right time.

_

Can't really think of anything  negative after such an epic win.

Positives: Jordy! Ty Montgomery, Michael, both Martinez and Fackrell coming back from injuries; John Fox deciding to try a FG instead of going for a TD near the goal line. Both the vikings and Lions lost today!

Negatives: ARods lack of mobility; Adams dropping TD passes; Capers soft prevent defense in the second half, Clay being injured.

I am hoping the Packers can find their killer instinct and take care of business the next two weeks! RUN THE TABLE!

Good football Day!  And I am back to my God given right to be spoiled.  Now I am just going to chill. 

+

Monty.  Please keep him at the RB position.  And let him get some screens.  Tremendous effort.  One of those guys who always give it everything.

Cook.  He'd better turn in more of these before we're done to justify the money to bring him back, though.  I expected today's performance much much earlier.

ARod.  Well, you know.

Jordy.  Dude!

OL.  Kicking ass and taking names!

Jake Ryan knocking the Bears sticker off a player's helmet!  In about 60 years of watching the Pack, I've NEVER seen that one before!

-

Dom's Break-our-back defense.  Enough!

Highways 23/24 

Not having 11th man (Guion) on the field in the 4th quarter with Bears practically on the goal line.  How about holding someone accountable, coach?

-----

As for Clay, I sure hope with surgery he can come back.  But right now he's essentially a decoy and I think it would be best to leave him on the bench rather than risk further damage.

I am sitting on my porch enjoying this win in 82 degree weather.

What a win!

Oh, and PLEASE, McCarthy!  Learn from experience.  This year's team cannot convert on 4th and short.  Take the 3 points!

Thank you!

LOL.  Big plus for MM.  Lots of posts the last couple of weeks about how stupid he is.  How stubborn he is.  How slow he is.  How this, how that.

Here's a big **** you to all the MM haters out there.  You can't stomach the fact that tomorrow morning you'll be on the way to a job you hate.  But you know more about football than Mike McCarthy.

***pissuparope***

Jordy running by the coverage for 60 yards. He looked really fast on that pattern. He's back. 

Rodgers running 60 yards as fast as he could while motioning EVERYONE to get back on the ****ing sideline because he knew he needed the same 11 on the field just long enough to get everyone set to spike it with 3 seconds left. 

Just two Pro's being all world with everything on the line.

While I slightly agree on Barkley (he also threw some horrible balls), I gotta call bs on this one.   Their WR's (all 2nd and 3rd string guys but Jeffery) were not just catching balls, they were WIDE open on a lot of those plays.  I'm sure they also get paid but you have to be able to stop that motley bunch.

Rest of the post has a good point.

Very good point. If Aarons calf was bugging him enough he might have barely made it back to the LOS in time. He knew he needed every second. To the wire !

A little shout out to Joe Thomas.  Made a few clutch plays and no real gaffes. 

Ha Ha

Monty, Ground Player of the week.

Hail Mary 

------

Davante, WTH?????

No Raji for a pick 6. 

+ Speaking of Joe Thomas, wasn't it him that knocked the C off of that Bears helmet ?

I thought MM going for it on 4th and 2 from the 21 up 7-0 was a mistake. I thought kicking the FG from the 1 on 4th and goal went against his reasoning from the first decision. 

While I get the reasoning you never try and chase down a failed decision. I think the situation called for GB going for that 7.
