A couple of fantom flags going each way tonight.

That tripping call on Slauson was horrendous.

Ed Hochuli: May be the most in shape but worst official in the NFL.

Uh oh...

Not sure how that gets blown dead...

Huge break for the Bears. Bad call.

I haven't paid much attention to this which is why I ask...how common is it for the head coach to have the offensive playbook on him and looking through it during offensive possessions? Never really noticed since McCarthy was always calling the plays. But now that he's not he still has his head buried in his sheet. I feel like I don't notice other head coaches doing that. Am I just missing it? I thought the reason for Mac not calling plays was to be more involved in the other aspects of the game and be more aware of what's going on on the field. It doesn't seem like that's the case when his attention is completely focused on the playcalling anyways. I don't know how that works, though.

Also, why in the world is Masthay still our punter? He has to be the worst punter in the NFL, and has been terrible for years. And I get it, he's our "holder"...who blocks our own kicker's game winning field goal attempts.

Well, Jay's trying to give us the turnover. Packers just don't seem to want it tonight (and this year).

No adding to the montage tonight. Atta boy cutty.

I honestly can't give you full names of 75% of the Bears defense, kudos to them for holding the Pack to 13 points.

CreightonWarrior · « **Reply #637 on:** November 26, 2015, 10:53:04 PM »

How much longer can this Tom Clement's charade continue?

Vander Blue Man Group · « **Reply #638 on:** November 26, 2015, 10:59:42 PM »

Some very close games the Bears won that they easily could have lost but I'd love to have the MN or Detroit game back. Nice to have a real coaching staff and be competitive.

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #639 on:** November 26, 2015, 11:00:34 PM »

This Bears team has no business being 5-6 with their roster. Gase/Fangio have done an unreal job.

It's gonna suck when Gase leaves next year...

It will, but I'd rather keep Fangio. Bears have much more talent on offense. I have no idea how Fangio is coaching up multiple undrafted street free agents and getting them to play above average.

Sir Lawrence · « **Reply #642 on:** November 26, 2015, 11:33:21 PM »

I never thought coaching would have such an impact on Cutler. It's like he's a different cat. Congrats Bears people. Nice win.

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #643 on:** November 26, 2015, 11:43:27 PM »

I think the lack of a playmaking TE (outside of Nelson being out) is hurting the Pack offense. Adams had a really rough evening, and Cobb looked slow. Their lack of separation is stunning, especially in the red zone.

They're still a playoff team, get Vikes in Green Bay to end the year, just too many meh performances over the last month.

Watch it again. Right guard #70 (Lang?) clearly reacts to the D and moves before the ball is snapped.

Don't have the replay on hand, but that happens on just about every offsides call that goes on. It gets blown dead when the defender is "unimpeded to the quarterback," which was clearly not the case. It was a big time blunder, but it really doesn't matter. Packers will win the North and flame out in the Playoffs, just like they would've had they won this game. The Packers simply aren't a very good football team.

It gets blown dead if the defender us unimpeded to the QB or if an offensive player moves before the snap. Easy, correct call by the officials...unlike the tripping call on Slauson and the illegal contact on Porter

It's brutal Dish. The way the Packers were able to run the ball guys should have been open all night. It's a continuation of what we've seen since the bye. Personally, I'm pinning it on Clemens. There's word out there that there's been too much 'video game time' and not enough 'playbook time'. Changes (either personnel or coaching) are certainly coming in the off season. They have elite talent and are horribly underperforming.

Lang jumped early.

The wide receivers suck. No separation.

Been coming to GB for Thanksgiving w the in-laws for more than 25 years. Went to the game last night. I envy Detroit (never thought I'd say that) the tradition of a TDay game. Dinner an hour early, o/w able to do the usual stuff and still make it to the game. And then a result to be thankful for. (And thanks to all the GB fans around us- not surprisingly, really nice, knowledgeable and dedicated). Not the Bears year, but another Coin flip game w the coin coming up the right way this time.
