Will Morgan Burnett help shore up the run defense?
The Packers need him back. Yesterday, the Packers played a lot
of two-down-linemen nickel. When you try to stop the run with
two down linemen, you�re counting on the linebackers and
safeties to do the job. The Packers missed Burnett.

Vic, what would you look for in an elite LB and RB?
Elite players don�t come off the field. They can do it all. Clay
Matthews is an elite linebacker because he can stop the run and
defend against the pass. He�s not a two-down or one-down player.
Eddie Lacy became an elite running back last season when he
became a feared pass receiver. His one-handed catch yesterday is
another example of how he�s taken his game to another level.
Lacy can pound you between the tackles or beat you catching the
ball in the flat.

Was Forte�s lack of yardage in the second half an adjustment by
the defense, the Bears needing to get points and switching to
the pass, or a mix of both?
Mike McCarthy made vague reference to an adjustment the Packers
made at halftime that was more about advising the players how to
do it than it was about a scheme change, but I also think the
Bears quit on the run in the second half. On second-and-goal at
the Packers 2-yard line, the Bears threw three consecutive
incompletions. I sensed some panic in the Bears� play-calling
after the Packers took an eight-point lead.
That answers some questions that I had.

Going into the game, I wasn�t worried about anything. Now the
game is over and I�m still not worried about anything. As you
say, the Packers have �The Man� and if they keep him healthy,
they�re set up for another deep run at a championship.
I think that�s an astute evaluation of where the Packers are
after one game.

How much worry is in your inbox this morning? I think it was a
great win but I keep hearing otherwise.
Don�t listen to otherwise. It�s a great win for the Packers
because the circumstances surrounding yesterday�s game made it a
daunting challenge for the Packers. The Bears had all training
camp to prepare for that game, and Vic Fangio did some very
creative things on defense to give Aaron Rodgers pass-coverage
looks that still kept the box loaded with run-defenders. When I
first looked at the schedule last spring, I thought to myself,
�Uh, oh.� The schedule-maker had bad thoughts when he scheduled
that game. The Packers are 1-0 in the division. It�s reason to
rejoice.
Much improved Bears' staff.

I�m sure the irony of the opening game coming down to another
onside kick didn�t escape you. Same exact location, with Adams
in for Jordy. When the Packers recovered, it was as if the
football gods said, �Turn the page, it�s a new season.�
I thought to myself: If only they had done that in Seattle last
January.
The guy responsible for that fiasco was cut by GB, signed by
Minn and cut by Minn. Short career when you don't follow
instructions.

How about Tony Romo? �It always comes down to the final eight
minutes, and either you�re comfortable with that or you�re not.�
Can you think of any better way you�ve heard a pro sum up the
concept of crunch time?
He�s right. If you can�t get it done at crunch time, don�t tell
me about the stats. It was as though a horn sounded in the
fourth quarter at Soldier Field on Sunday. Rodgers became a
better quarterback. He took his offense right down the field and
scored. Jay Cutler threw three consecutive incompletions from
the 2-yard line, and then threw a game-changing interception on
the next drive. The tale of those two quarterbacks at crunch
time is the difference in the game. If you wanna tell me about
stats, tell me about the stats at crunch time.

James Jones is exactly what the Packers were missing in the red
zone.
It�s a young man�s game, but this was one of those rare
occasions when the Packers needed to get older. They needed a
veteran receiver that could step into the offense and contribute
immediately. As I�ve written, Jones was a godsend for this
football team. It was a no-brainer.

Packrat a couple things.
Fox said the reason the Bears did not run from the 3 was because
the Packers had the box stacked to stop the run.
Another thing is the Packers forced the Bears into nickel
defense the entire game due to the spread offense and number of
receivers. This kept them out of the 3-4 for the majority of
the game.
I suspect the Packers will do this to a lot of teams since they
have Rodgers and Lacey. Having a good RB and a great QB gives
an offense so many options. The Packers have a fantastic
offense their defense is mediocre at best. Lose Rodgers and the
Packers are the worst team in the league.
If the Bears lose Cutler they might improve.
