This loss sucks big time. The officiating was awful (seriously when is Rodgers going to get protected by the refs? It seems like every game there is at least one if not more late hits/facemasks/etc that are not called), but the team also didn’ play overly well. Kevin Seffert on ESPN basically said they were done in by their own hype. I kind of hope this will be a wake up call similar to the Tampa game last year that they can’t just expect teams to roll over for them and that they have to play well for 60 minutes.

Some good things though – Rodgers seemed more comfortable this game, despite the fact that we have a rookie starting at safety and an undrafted rookie as our nickel back our secondary did not do too badly. Given that we were missing Jones and Neal on the defense the defense also didn’t do too badly. There are positives to build on so hopefuly this will be the worst game of the season.

Really tough, ugly loss. I agree that the refs missed some calls, but even discounting the questionable calls, we still had a ridiculous number of penalties. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game where a team had more penalties than points. It’s ultimately what lost the game for us.

I put this one on the coach – for both the poor time management at the end and also for his inability to get his team under control re: penalties.

I still think we are the better team. It’s a huge loss, but it’s still early in the season. Hopefully our poor performance will be a motivator, but it could easily be just the opposite…

One thing you didn’t mention: where was the pass coverage underneath? I saw way too many checkdown passes where the reciever had 5 or 10 yards of empty field in front of him.

–This how the Vikes will beat us too!!

On the Jones fumble challenge: “I was standing right there. I had a pretty good indication of what happened. I did see the defensive back’s foot swing out of bounds. I was just hopeful that the officials, maybe, you know, saw that his foot may have hit. With 2:18 and two challenges left, you know, that’s obviously a huge play in the game, maybe it could swing our way.”

Wow! Wow wow wow! MM, your an idiot. TT get rid of this idiot. I don’t think he’s good enough to be our coach. Stupid. Stupid Stupid.

thank you awhayes….all true, dont forget the other 15 yds given to those suck heads, collins is holding a leg as the whistle blows and forte aggressively pulls away pulling collins over him…..the interference call is basically getting punished for forcing an underthrown ball and having good D underneath the reciever… the personal foul for leading with the head is a close call too, zambo is committed to his move on cutler as cutler is coming forward, some of those are unavoidable….never mind the calls that weere blatantly wrong….the refs definitely seemed to favor the bears….but please, the Monday night broadcasters made me sick. terico and grouden can suck me

–I agree, the refs gave the Bears more chances than they deserved. I think it was that last interception called back on dpi. I watched the replay wondering how that wasn’t offensive pass interference.

–Mashtay just got put through the wringer on that game. Having to punt from inside your own 5 to Devon Hester at Soldier Field with the game onl the line… that had to be tough.

–One thing you didn’t mention: where was the pass coverage underneath? I saw way too many checkdown passes where the reciever had 5 or 10 yards of empty field in front of him.

–Cutler’s been sacked 8 times already this season. He’s going to have a tough time staying healthy through 16+ games.
