• The Bears Still Suck
• Tory Humphrey can play. Who knew?
• Loved seeing Grant making moves in the second level
• A.J. Hawk played an excellent game in the middle, but let’s hold off on the ‘move him to the middle next year’ calls until the Packers play a more dynamic offense - like next week
• I was just shocked at how slow the Bears seemed on both sides of the ball
• Wonder if McGinn or Dougherty question the playcalling this week?
• Rodgers had a good game, but he simply has to stop staring guys down - it’s gonna cost him
• It’s almost like this team is built for playing in November in Lambeau, rather than in a dome…
• What in the world has happened to Devin Hester?
• Bob Sanders fever. Catch it!

• Rodgers is going through a very rough patch in regards to recognition when it comes to the blitz and protection. A brutal stretch, truth be told. Why defenses haven’t done what Leslie Frazier did today from Day One, I have no idea. It’s painful to watch, but Rodgers will get it worked out
• Hard to watch Thompson’s off season moves (Favre, Williams, Ryan, etc) all coalesce to cause a Packer loss, but that’s exactly what happened today
• Why does anyone throw against this defense?
• Nick Collins and Charles Woodson should be starting in the Pro Bowl
• A.J. Hawk should not
• Speaking of linebackers, why did we pay Brady Poppinga again? At the time I defended the move, but he was downright terrible today and has not added much all season
• McCarthy got away from the one player, Ryan Grant, who was having any success against the Viking defense. Not sure why
• The season is not over - but it’s on life support

• Working Where I Do…

• Eerily similar to the NFC Championship game.
• The bigger the moment, the smaller Bob Sanders gets
• This was a game the Packers would have taken if Favre was still the quarterback - Rodgers stared down his receivers constantly and held the ball too long on several occasions - don’t get me wrong - Rodgers was more than solid - his inexperience just showed at times. Good learning experience if he takes it on board
• Ryan Grant - if you need five yards, he’ll get you six. If you need eight yards, he’ll get you six.
• Brandon Jackson needs to get the ball more
• How many interceptions were dropped today? At least three by my count, two of which were guys taking the ball away from their own man. Gotta talk to each other guys…
• Atari Bigby looked veeeerrrryyy rusty today
• Why in the name of Ahmad Carroll was Tramon Williams playing so far off on the Titans final drive in regulation?
• Kudos to Daryn Colledge, filling in for Chad Clifton. Amazing job
• Sitton - not so much
• Nick Barnett is beyond pedestrian at this point - he’s a liability
• Hate having to wait a week for another game - gotta get this bad taste out of my mouth

• Working Where I Do…

• If this is true, Brett Favre is dead to me.
• I’m guessing a lot of you prayed.
• Brandon Chillar was incredible in his matchup with Dallas Clark. Just incredible.
• What is with McCarthy’s timid nature at the end of every first half?
• Say it with me: Nick Collins, Playmaker
• Bob Sanders, I owe you an apology
• Sorry, Ryan Grant still looks pedestrian to me
• Charles Woodson is the best corner in the league. Period.
• Jeremy Thompson isn’t there yet - but the kid is going to be a player.
• Peyton Manning was extra whiny today.
• Sorry for my absence throughout the day - both here on the blog and on the live chat - my parents are in town for the weekend with two friends. It made for a simply fantastic moment on Rouse’s interception, as the entire living room exploded when Rouse started racing up the sideline. (Freaked the baby out something awful) It was a prefect topping to a perfect afternoon.

• This is a poorly coached Packers team, on both sides of the ball
• Please tell me Frost was cut after the final whistle
• My wife just said - “When is the defensive coordinator going to get fired?”
• Bob Sanders just got out-called by a rookie quarterback
• Aaron Rodgers is not making more than two reads - ever - and he has not looked on the backside of a play once, other than by design
• I’m going to the park with my kids to erase the sinking feeling that the Packers are done from my mind

UPDATE:

• 1987 called. It wants its version of the Packers back…

• The Packers will never win a Super Bowl with Bob Sanders as their Defensive Coordinator. Period.
• Cullen Jenkins, I apologize.
• Three wide receivers against six defensive backs: Not good odds.
• McCarthy simply HAS to clean up the penalties. Ug-ly.
• Why punt with nine minutes to go down by 18?
• The Cowboys could not cover Greg Jennings until they knew the Packers had to throw.
• Aaron Rodgers, please tell me what you told Madden about only ever reading half the field isn’t true. That’s Randall Cunningham circa 1998.
• And while we’re chatting Aaron, you have Greg Jennings, Donald Driver and James Jones. Why are you only looking to Jordy Nelson 20 times in the two minute drill? Perhaps you really DO only read one half of the field…
• Memo to McCarthy: Don’t lose your nerve when you’re backed up in your own end. 
• Addendum: Don’t lose your nerve inside the opponents 15 yard line either. 
• While we’re at it coach: The predictability of your first down playcalls are killing your team.
• The Packers will never win a Super Bowl with Bob Sanders as Defensive Coordinator.
• …and before the whole “The offense didn’t stay on the field” crowd joins in in the comment section, there is absolutely ZERO excuse for the horrific game plan drawn up by Bob Sanders tonight. He had all offseason to watch film of his four man defensive line not generating a pass rush on Tony Romo - so what does he do? He rushes four almost all game. Idiotic.
• The Packers will never win a Super Bowl with Bob Sanders as their Defensive Coordinator.
• Oh - and lest anyone think I am blaming this loss on Sanders: McCarthy needs to take the training wheels off his offense if he expects to compete for “the worlds championship” as he is always telling us.

• Yes, that was McCarthy, Sanders and Rodgers all losing focus at the same time
• Charles Woodson is a beast and should be the one covering T.O. next week. Of course this means he won’t be
• Yes Tramon Williams got beat but he is still a very good corner
• Jarrett Bush is not
• Did you notice Jason Hunter lined up at defensive tackle? He got good pressure as well
• Aaron Kampman is Superman, Batman and a dash of Wolverine.
• Cullen Jenkins is more like Robin.
• Is it just me or did Jennings and Driver look a tad bit impatient with Rodgers a couple times?
• McCarthy started four straight series in the second half with the same off-tackle running play.
• Will Blackmon is fun to watch
• Jordy Nelson - Welcome to the NFL!
• The pass rush is nice to see - but McCarthy and Sanders need to get the defensive line more help or it will end up wearing down just like last year
• For example, lets see more of the Amazing Flying A.J. Hawk please
• Is Aaron Rodgers the perfect quarterback for this system? Sure seems so…
• The Packers are all alone in first place - right where they belong
