Takeaway #1: they can still beat bad teams, and on the road even.

Takeaway #2: I'm glad to say that those predictions of the Packers not winning another game this season were wrong.

Takeaway #3: McCarthy can plan effectively. The question is will he do so on a weekly basis? He's proven he can do it. I want to that effort sustained.

Takeaway #4: Is this game a flash-in-the-pan moment for Hundley or will he continue to improve? I hope it's the latter.

The most important takeaway for me is to see and understand that first 2 games Brett Hundley plays was so bad because he was adjusting to the speed of the game. I expect him to grow every week and I think Packers will have their chance to reach post season!

Hundley does not seem capable to read #2 and #3 receivers. He is not anticipating his receivers route targets evident by his throwing behind (late) receivers, he got very lucky against the Bears with 3 or more late throws that should have been picked. His vision of the field seems very narrow and does not recognize the rush unless it is too late. I don't see him making sound "starting QB" decisions. He is what he is...... A Second Stringer.

Takeaway: Randall Cobb is not a running back, has never been a running back, and except in the rarest of situations, should never be played as a running back. Yes, I understand that they had injury problems yesterday at that position. But I've never understood why people want to see Cobb in the backfield. If someone - anyone - needs to give Jamal Williams a breather, I'd much rather hand it to Ripkowski.

My biggest take away from the game is that Hundley is starting to look more and more comfortable and confident as the starter.

He was making some really good throws, especially in the 4th Quarter. He was CLUTCH! Those 2 throws to Adams, the TD and the deep shot down the sideline were 2 great throws!

Other takeaways -
Williams finally showed why he was their 4th round pick. He really showed up big time. He only had 67 rushing yards but 55 of those 67 came after contact. He ran HARD.

This was a much needed win for the team. This was a win that they needed so they could learn how to win with the Hundley as the QB. While it wasn't always pretty, they made plays to win. This is a team that since losing Rodgers lost its identity. They are trying to find their identity, and I think they found some of it.

This win was so well achieved that instead of feeling like it's over we can feel like it's almost over.

This is torture as we'll probably get enough to keep hope alive in the eyes of the please fool me kool-aid drinkers,but for those of us who see reality will suffer the weekly death by the 10,000 cuts of the usual on field product, which will not result in enough wins to justify the hope or the cuts.

Jamal Williams was the MVP. He ran better than we have seen at any point from preseason on. It's since to see someone step up.

IDIOTS:
The Packers tried many times to give this game to the bears. How do you NOT call a timeout on 3rd and 2 with 2 min left and play clock down to zero?? Those morons called timeouts like that all day long and as soon as it was completely appropriate to use the last timeout in a play clock situation they shit the bed and take a delay of game. That is unacceptable by Hundley and Mashed Potato Mike. Adams bailed them out with the one handed grab on a nice throw, but that's a time where Tater needs to get his huge head out of the damn applebee's menu and pay attention to the play-clock and use a timeout to save the 5 yards in a crucial late game situation... In the first half he'll use timeout on a hard count on 4th and 1 instead of taking the delay of game at the 40yard line and punting, he wastes a timeout then!! WTF?!?!?. My gosh Mashed Potato Mike is a knot head sometimes!!

Think we need Williams in the running back rotation

My takeaways are that Hundley is playing better and that it's time, actually overdue, that we let Hundley throw downfield consistently and move away from the dinks and dunks.

It's still too early to tell but Williams might be a solid cold weather RB.

While the defense was very stout against the Bears running game they were still poor against the pass and against a rookie QB. We had 5 sacks yesterday and we still gave up nearly 300 passing yards. That does not bode well for when we face a good OL with a real NFL QB, as we already know.

The ST problems are beyond frustrating already. First Trevor Davis with the punt return out of the end zone and then Vogel botching the FG snap. In one way or another this stuff has been going for years. These are issues of coaching and practice and there is no excuse for them to happen season after season after season. Thanks, Since '61

My takeaways from the win:

1. A W is a W. Especially over the hated Bears. Season series lead secured for the forseeable future.

2. Hundley improved in this game, and this was the best D he'd faced since Minny.

3. Our secondary is a flat out mess. 300 passing yards given up to a rookie QB who hasn't lit it up and the worst group of pass catchers in the NFL. There were wide open WRs all game and Mitch just didn't see them or missed the throw. This is going to make it REALLY hard to make any sort of a run down the stretch - unless Hundley improves to ARod levels (HA!).

4. We still miss the playoffs.

For me, the #1 Takeaway is that Hundley has taken a positive step to trade bait. He is not the successor to Aaron Rodgers. Neither is Callahan for that matter. I don't think that Hundley has the game finesse "bandwidth" to be GB's quarterback for the future, while he does posses intrigue for other NFL teams that are in need of a future QB.

I questioned GB putting Taysom Hill on waivers pre-season, and thought that he had sufficient skills and better game awareness than Hundley. We'll see of New Orleans does anything with him, whether they trade or release him, or remains a 2nd or 3rd string QB his entire career. He does have about 4 -5 yrs in age over most rookie QB's., but also seems to play the position with more awareness and finesse.

I agre with other commentors that Hundley does have probelm with reads, discipline, and other fundamentals. He certainly showed improvement today, albeit against a poor Bears defense. While I don't think he's going anywhere on this team with AR coming back next year, Hudley needs to increase his worth to the market. I think he did some of that today, and hope that he finishes out the 2017 season strong. We desparately need better players in other key positions, such as defensive lineman and tight ends.

My takeaway is I've finally seen a coach who makes dumber challenges than MM. All hail John Fox, the new king of dumbass.

Happy for the win over the Bears. But, while the Packer defense shut down the Bears run offense, they continue to be pummeled through the air. 300 yds to a rookie QB with crap for receivers. It shows that our secondary players are poor, or the defensive system is poor. I suggest the system, and then a few of the players are just not very good. But TT isn't going to dump them because he drafted them. And that would mean admitting he made a mistake. And WTF happened to Clinton-Dix? All-Pro to Joe Schmo?

At best the Pack can win three of the remaining games. And that is if the offense (Hundley) and the play caller (MM) continue to improve, because the defense show no signs that they are going to get any better. I really thought they would be able to pull together after Rodgers went out and play much better than they have. But perhaps they just can't play any better than they are. If so that is just further evidence of the changes that are needed.

I want them to win out. I'd like to see Rodgers get back and take the team all the way and win another Lombardi trophy. But I have to be realistic and admit to myself that there is no way that this will happen. And it won't happen next year either. Not without massive change will things improve in the next two to three years. And that change needs to happen at the end of this season, from TT all the way through the players. Another year of TT means another year that it will take to get back to the top of the NFL.

My take away is just how hard it is to be a QB in the NFL. Hundley has to step in for a HOF QB and be expected to play really good because he's been here for 3 years. Remember how so many fans reacted to AR when he replaced BF? He has never had to adjust to real NFL game speed, read defenses at the line,and change plays at the line. He is improving with each game, how high is his ceiling, who knows? Also I see some of the so called experts saying GB out coached Chi. That doesn't bode well for Fox.
