Coach Mike McCarthy said he didn't consider letting the Bears score at the end to conserve time. "I felt they missed a field goal in the game," he said. "There was talk about it, but it was not the decision we made."

They missed a 49 yarder with an extremely accurate kicker who isn't known to even attempt many long FGs so lets bank on him missing an extra point... that's not even borderline intelligent.

I completely agree. It would have been totally different if they were on the 30 yard line or something, but THAT close??? Give me a break. If you're betting against Gould to miss a kick that short then you're going to be on the losing end most of the time.

Complete lapse of judgment in my opinion. Sure, we shouldn't have been in that situation to begin with, but we COULD have had a chance to tie to the score again.

this game was reminiscent of the first time we played the Bears in 2007. the Pack just self-destructed in the second half.

I'm astonished to read people thinking we should have let them score. I could understand that line of thinking if we weren't shooting ourselves in the foot with penalties. Under one minute, each penalties runs off 10 seconds or burns a time out. Consider that at all?

We would have lost by 7 instead of 3 if we let them score. The only difference is, if we let them score we get a few more yards on offense and another penalty or two.

Face it, letting them score was NOT the right choice and would NOT have mattered.

Be angry, tell me how I'm wrong, but when you think rationally and actually think a little, you'll realize we had no chance.

UNLESS, we miraculously stopped catching flags which I do not know if you watched the game, but that didn't seem likely to happen.

I'd agree with the 'let them score' theory ... if we actually were doing well on offense and not holding everything in sight.

How many times did we score a touchdown in the entire game? I believe three, one of which was called back. Each of those drives had flags too and I believe a flag under :60 also is a run off of 10 seconds or loss of time out.

If you saw MMs press conference on ESPN, you would be even more pissed at Fred Flinstone. On why he challenged the fumble he stated " The play happened right in front of me and I saw his leg was in the air close to out of bounds, I was hoping the ref would see his leg hit" Now is that a smart head coach or what? The play happened right in front of him and he knew it was a fumble, but lets challenge and hope the ref sees something he didn't. I am so sick of MM it's not funny.

Now for the not letting them score thing. Is he fricken insane or did he put money on the Bears to win? Remember the Super Bowl loss to Denver when Holmgren actually told his defense to let the Broncos score so we could try and tie. But Not MM we will bank on him missing a kick that could be partially blocked and still make it.

From what I saw last night reminded me so much of the 2008 season, stupid penalties and poor coaching. To be totally honest I don't see us as a Super Bowl winning caliber team. Look back so far, We get torched by Vick and good thing they started Kolb to give us a good lead so we can hang on for dear life and then we look liked crap in the 1st half against Buffalo before we played good ball.

We need secondary help and help at running back and that I think falls back onto TT. I can see a very disappointing season coming. But looking on the brighter side Rodgers and Finley showed that they are elite players in the game today.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

You are wrong my friend,


Timing in Final Two Minutes of Each Half

1. On kickoff, clock does not start until the ball has been legally touched by player of either team in the field of play. (In all other cases, clock starts with kickoff.)
2. A team cannot buy an excess time out for a penalty. However, a fourth time out is allowed without penalty for an injured player, who must be removed immediately. A fifth time out or more is allowed for an injury and a five-yard penalty is assessed if the clock was running. Additionally, if the clock was running and the score is tied or the team in possession is losing, the ball cannot be put in play for at least 10 seconds on the fourth or more time out. The half or game can end while those 10 seconds are run off on the clock.
3. If the defensive team is behind in the score and commits a foul when it has no time outs left in the final 40 seconds of either half, the offensive team can decline the penalty for the foul and have the time on the clock expire.
4. Fouls that occur in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter as well as the last two minutes of the first half will result in the clock starting on the snap.

This is interesting, check that out?

NFL's 10-second runoff rule has issues 


Edit,

TWO-MINUTE WARNING/10-SECOND RUNOFF:  The requirement that the offense has to be behind in the score or the score has to be tied for a 10-second clock runoff to be exercised against the offense for an excess timeout with two minutes to go in the first half or in the game has been eliminated. Now a 10-second runoff will take place no matter what the game situation. Any possible advantage for the offense (e.g., the old rule would not require a 10-second runoff if it were ahead) has been eliminated. The defense has the option to decline a 10-second runoff (which will give it more time should it get the ball back).

I thought on a false start there was a run off also, but i couldn't find it. I know they run time off for intentional grounding but thats because its a sack and the clocked was stopped.

Your definition of miraculous is peculiar, Kevin. You would regard it as more miraculous that the team could avoid penalties for a single drive than a kicker miss a field goal that short? On the other hand, you do have somewhat of a point in that the only penalty-free drives the Packers put up were the last two drives of the first half, which ended in a punt and an interception respectively.

Wow, that really is pathetic.

How's this for the play-by-play of the last "drive" of the game:

Green Bay Packers at 00:04

9-R.Gould kicks 42 yards from CHI 30 to GB 28. 87-J.Nelson to GB 19 for -9 yards. Lateral to 21-C.Woodson to GB 14 for -5 yards. Lateral to 80-D.Driver to GB 14 for no gain. 80-D.Driver pass short right to 89-J.Jones to GB 19 for 5 yards. FUMBLES, recovered by GB-29-D.Martin at GB 16. 29-D.Martin to GB 11 for -5 yards. Lateral to 85-G.Jennings to GB 6 for -5 yards. Lateral to 38-T.Williams to GB 31 for 25 yards. 38-T.Williams pass incomplete short right to 85-G.Jennings. PENALTY on GB-80-D.Driver, Illegal Forward Pass, 0 yards, enforced at GB 14. Penalty on GB-38-T.Williams, Illegal Forward Pass, declined.

END GAME

GB 17 CHI 20 Plays: 0 Possession: 0:04
