The Bears lost this game on the last field goal drive. After
Howard runs the ball to the 13, it is 3rd and 1. Packers are out
of timeouts and about 2:54 left. I'll say this until my dying
breath, a field goal here only gives us a 6 point lead, and
leaves plenty of time for Rodgers to drive the team for a TD.
At this point of the game, I would have loaded the backfield
with Burton and Howard and ran a sweep with Trubisky off of
that. If it is stopped, I would run it again on 4th down. If
that is stopped, Rodgers has about 90 yards to drive for the TD
OR they get a little more conservative and settle for the FG to
tie. If we are up one or two points, I am okay with the FG but,
when you are up 3, another 3 gets you beat.
That and Fuller letting the ball bounce off of his breast bone.
So close.

Did it seem like we went away from Cohen?

Trubiski looked tight as a drum head in the second half. You
knew he wasn’t going to get it done on that last drive.

It's hard to say how much of the blame on the offense's woes is
on Trubisky.
Think of the passes he completed to Burton and Robinson in the
first half - all were contested by Packer defenders. Even that
one to whoever that Collinsworth crowed about went thru a tight
window.
I think the Packers multi-DB formations took our receivers out
of the game. It's not like Trubisky was pressured. Yet he sits
back there waiting, waiting, scrambling...
Rodgers on the other hand when he had time to throw, often threw
to receivers without a Bear in the picture. And whe a Bear
contested the throw - they were a millisecond late. Incredible
(Fuller on the TD, Callahan, and Jackson)
And in the past I've pretty much not jumped on the Bears are
getting held wagon. But I focused on our front 4 for much of
the game and the guys that were running free in the first half
all of a sudden were being stopped. Not one holding call with
all the passing of Rodgers.

Well the 2nd half sure was brutal for sure.....
It was the best of times (1st half)... it was the worst of times
(2nd half) about sums it up nicely.....
Its sad that Rodgers 1 legged is still better than ANY QB the
Bears have had in the modern era. The Bears have been "Roger'd"
so badly since Sid Luckman it can't be just bad luck..... Some
bad mojo still on this organization for QBs it would seem.....
Mitchell looked like Sybil starting in the 2nd quarter. From
confident to lost in a matter of a quarter and a half.
This game also kind of reminded me of when my old pet dog
finally caught the same squirrel (he stumbled) he'd been chasing
in like forever.. He was so shocked he let him scamper away...
Lot to work with this season.... should be quite the
rollercoaster indeed......

More of the same, different season. A HC that is scared, the
play calling-atrocious, a failed franchise QB, corners that suck
(why is Fuller the best we have??) and no killer instinct. So,
nothing at all has changed. Football is four quarters, not
two.... >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( I'm so pissed and sick of this....

In our break room ESPN was showing film of Willlis Reed coming
out of the locker and leading the Knicks to victory and
comparing it to Rodgers performance last night. Guess I have to
shut down all access to media for a week now.
My family rarely watches the game with me but last night at half
time. I told them...you watch it...the drama queen will return
in the 2nd half and go into pure pass mode and make this a game.
Even when it was 20-0 I knew the Bears could not let up.
We've all seen it before.
Hopefully, Nagy learned an important lesson. You protect a lead
with runs and play action passes.

However, McKay’s most famous quote, bar none, was in answer to
the question: “What do you think of your team’s execution
coach?” To which McKay replied, “I’m in favor of it.”

Anyone else wonder if we would have done better in the 2nd half
with Chase Daniel?

Hard to say, but it would be hard to do worse! Trubisky did not
impress me in that second half. He's got a lot of improvement to
make to even be considered a franchise QB. Right now, he's just
a cog in the mile long line of QB's this team has had the last
twenty years. He missed some wide open recievers and then threw
over, behind, etc the ones he did throw to.
