Gotta love a man who tweets about himself so humbly in the third person.

Should have taken the FG on 4th and 2 early.

Glad they did so late.

This kid is way too hard on himself. Gotta brush it off and make the next one.

Half full: The franchise is back up to .500 with Da Bears, correct?

Disagree on Rodgers. Dude needs to get the damn ball OUT. Especially now that's supposedly injured. And I HATED that last play to Jordy. Yeah I know it saved our season, but it's a low percentage play. We got lucky on a Bert Favor special.

Yes, Rodgers holds on to the ball too long.

No, the route selection is in no way shape or form making getting the ball out quickly easy in most cases. I cannot for the life of me understand why virtually every designed pass play doesn't have at LEAST one person running a route across the middle of the field right behind the LBs, or a RB (Montgomery?!?!?) giving a quick block/delay then going out in the flat. Some of this is definitely on Rodgers, but he needs to have a short option to go to once the heat starts coming in. It'll also help people get open when we don't have 5 WRs running downfield, often with 2 or sometimes even 3 within 10 yards of eachother (carrying just as many if not more defenders with them)

Had a little bit of that from Jordy too.

Nice to see Rodgers merely annoyed (mildly for him) and the receivers angry.

We had a blast this weekend. It wasn't as cold as expected but it still pushed us a bit.

There were A LOT of Packer fans. Probably around 1/3. In my area is was 50-50. That plus about 1/5 of the stadium was no shows. The Packer voices were heard today.

At the start of the game the stadium was only 1/2 full at best. Photo to follow.

We applied our randomization algorithm in the 4th quarter. The prevent defense almost prevented our win and boy we looked bad, the Bears are bad but they took it personal. If I were Fox I would have tried a fake FG down 24-27, that would have been a sweet way to destroy a rival team. But Fox was Fox and we have been lucky to face a string of horrible QBs and coaches at the Bears in the last few years (ages?)

Here we go:

The Glass Half Full:

- D. Bakthiari: Probably the best LT in the NFL at this moment, he is just impossible to pass, watch a replay of the game and you will see the left side of our line is rock solid and that leads me to the next player.

On our way home I turned on 670 WSCR and the host was screaming at Fox for about 10 minutes. First he said the 10 second run off would have helped them. Then he was upset about the Bears failure to try for the td. As he said the Bears have 3 wins. Why try for the tie and OT when they had a chance for for the win.

I was in the "I don't care if Teddy resigned Bakthiari or not. I thought he was going to be easily replaced for a lot less money. I was certainly wrong.
