Peckers D is a mess. Bears had 402 yards....if not for Cutler this would have been a W for da Bears.

it will be a long season for the Peckers.

At what point do we come to terms with a need for a different defensive coordinator?

Yours is the first question I saw when I opened my inbox today. I had to push back from my desk and gather myself. After I did, I felt sorry for you that you could so totally miss the mark on your analysis of and lack of appreciation for what happened at Soldier Field on Sunday. What you witnessed was a masterful performance by a defensive coordinator that was without two of his starting defensive linemen and his best run-defending safety. Also, his true, run-stuffing middle linebacker re-injured his ankle early in the game. Against a Bears team determined to run the ball with one of the best backs in the league, and compounding matters by forcing the Packers into nickel by spreading the field with three and four-wide receiver sets, Dom Capers found a way to hold the Bears to 16 points (the other seven were scored after the fact). I’m sorry you missed the game.


I certainly missed that.  I wonder if others caught it.

How is it possible for James Jones to just pick up where he left off?

He has the eye and ear of a great quarterback.

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.
