The real problem with the picks and not scoring at the end of the half is that the Bears basically have to abandon their run game now.

They've run it 30 times for an absurd 6.1 per carry.

Yup. Just changes your entire game and it's a lot easier to defend you when you're 1 dimensional.

Yup. If the nail wasn't in the coffin, it is now.

And now Jay has to put the ball in the air even more desperately. Could we see a 3rd pick? Maybe.

I just don't understand why the offense has been so brutal. Put the ball in Rodgers's hands and give him some quick hit options. Good things happen. Finally a well called game by McCarthy and we put up 38 in 3 quarters.

Almost.

Bears defense is masking some of Pack's problems.

-Non existant run game. Lacy's a step slower this year, not hitting the hole as quick.

-Over reliance on Nelson. Rodgers doesn't trust his other guys, even Cobb hasn't gotten the looks he used to.

Lacy's looked a bit better today, but still slow. I feel like he's going to find it again, but is running conservative.

I agree with both of these. I just think the play calling has limited the production of anyone other than Jordy. Up until this week we ran very few quick hitting passes. Rodgers and the receivers have always been insanely good at the quick slants and those have been entirely non-existent until today, and now you see Adams, Cobb, and Rodgers having success. I don't know where those plays have been.

Cobb says "See ya!" That was dirty. Love Richard Rogers running down field and finishing the play with a big block even in a route.

That Lacy run where he just picked up 7 yds...last year that was a 20 yd run. He's indecisive at times, too much dancing.

I think Starks should get some more carries.

I forgot Jimmy Clausen is on the Bears. They have to have the 2 most hateable QBs in the NFL. Phillip Rivers and Collin Kaepernik give them a run for their money.

Is Clausen even relevant enough to be hateable?

As bad as the Packer defense played, Jay can always be counted on to choke on it.

Clausen is hateable? Total non-descript back up QB.

Yikes.

496 yds of offense, over 200 rushing, and only 17 points to show for it.

Haha.  So you just hate good QBs or what?  I love Peyton Manning and he's outstanding.  Personality is what makes a player, person, etc. hatable to me.

Hated him when he was at Notre Dame, continue to hate him now, will hate him when he's playing in the Canadian Football League next year.  Being a douche doesn't change based on how good or bad you are at football.

Absolutely no debate.  No one can put a hat on that guy…hairs too spiky.

The next thought or feeling I have on Clausen will be my first.

Wow. Bears did not call a single blitz today. Why, especially in the second half, would you not try something to hurry rodgers? He had all the time he wanted.

Cutler was far from terrible today.  The first INT was his fault.  The second?  I guess we will have to see because that was obviously a misread. 

Rodgers was incredible today.  Six incompletions.  At least two dropped balls.  The Packers only faced 8 third downs all day.
