Khalil Mack is a dude, what a play.

I giggled and beamed for about 5 min straight after that play. What a debut

[Jay Bee]

Mack again. Got damn!

[DegenerateDish]

Jesus Christ, Mack, holy eff.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

I'm so giddy right now.

[GGGG]

Kizer...Hundley...whatever.

[Lennys Tap]

Bears physically manhandling the Pack. The Mack trade already paying dividends.

[🏀]

Love Bulaga just getting his ass handed to him constantly. Worthless even on the field.

[jesmu84]

Jay Cutler and Kapernick are available

[forgetful]

No idea why Rodgers is going to come back in.  Too much risk for a serious injury, and this game is out of hand already.

[chapman]

Sounds like it could be just a bruise?

It's officially a knee injury for Aaron Rodgers. The Packers say his return his questionable.

Can they play guard?

Can they play guard? 

I'm guessing a knee sprain.

Game could’ve been had if Mac had not decided to throw the ball on 3rd and 19 at the 30 with 50 seconds left and 0 TOs for the Bears down 10-0. Even if Rodgers can’t come back your defense had settled in, you’re not going to fool anyone with a “safe” screen pass, and you’re not picking up 19 yards. Run the ball and go into half down 10, even kicking off to start the half.

Those are decisions that are just blatantly obvious that an NFL coach cannot mess up.

[DegenerateDish]

I think the Pack D has actually been pretty good since the first Bears drive.

[wadesworld]

Agreed.

[wadesworld]

Wow.

[DegenerateDish]

Crazy good pass/throw from Rodgers to Allison. Tip of the cap play.

Agreed.  Would be 13-10 right now.

[DegenerateDish]

Packers defensive adjustments and Bears lack of offensive adjustments (after first scripted drive), making this a game.

Bears offense since first drive been somewhat predictable and too conservative.

[DegenerateDish]

That FG was a terrible decision.

[wadesworld]

That FG was a terrible decision.

Yup. Play it as if it’s 4 down territory. 3rd and 1.5 run. Gain anything go again.

[DegenerateDish]

It’s his first game, but Matt Nagy has really not had a great night.

[WarriorDad]

3rd and 1 and your opponent has no timeouts, so you pass the ball?  Same old Bears.  What an idiotic move.  Run the ball, probably get the first down. Then you take the clock down to under 30 seconds to kick FG.

Even if you don’t get first, clock doesn’t stop and then you kick or go for it on 4th and likely inches.

Such a poor decision, but that is why the Bears suck. 

[DegenerateDish]

That Matthews roughing call was weak.

How ‘bout dem Boiz?

[wadesworld]

That Matthews roughing call was weak.

Ehh. It’s about where we’re at with the NFL. Can’t let them make that call if you’re Clay. Could’ve easily held up. He pulled back from the full hit but didn’t even need to make any contact.
