Postgame show here in Chicago with Mongo McMichaels (?) and he kept repeating how the Packers gave the game to the Bears. He's not impressed.

Or you could blame Frank Zombo and his high hit.

Or DB's for failing to hang on to INT's

Or Bulaga and Sitton for letting Peppers block a chip shot FG.

Or the coverage teams that could not stay in their lanes and contain Hester.

Or the coaching staff for never seeming to take the Bears seriously.

Or the coaching staff for giving the team no chance to come back and win it, and being unable to control the team

Or the O line for having Parkinson's Disease

So basically what you're saying is, this topic title is completely irrelevant, and very rarely if ever does ONE PLAY ALONE cost a team a game.

Jones lacked football intelligence on that play. He was carrying the ball in the wrong hand and not anticipating the strip, and against the Bears no less.

Some may want to go easy on Jones for the mistake, but he is hardly a rookie anymore.

I can't say I'm too surprised about the fumble. I'm more surprised that he wasn't covering it up. Ball possession especially at that point is so important.

Regarding the Packers not taking the Bears seriously. I think the Packers now view the Bear games as just that, another game. And obviously from coach and Aaron, they view the Vikings games as something more than just a game.

The Bears I think are viewed by the Packers as the annoying little brother and then go 'oh shit lil bro is beating me' and then its too late, unless we get lucky (e.g. Tillman slipping in last years opener).

A that fumble didn't cost us the game.... special teams did.

It bothers me that Lovie Smith gets his team ready to play the Packers.
For Lovie Smith and the Bears, a Packers game is important and they come out with effort.

After seeing this repeated and repeated one would think that it might happen again and and the coach would be prepared for a high effort game from the Bears.

Why is it that the coaching staff doesn't take a game or a rivalry as serious as the fans.

How do you measure something like this without aid of your gut? This claim may or may not be true -- how exactly does someone prove it though? Honest freaking question -- don't read too much into the perceived meaning.

How can you quantify a statement like that?

It would be hard to argue that the outcome of the game was a matter of effort. It could, however, be more less boiled down to some boneheaded plays.

Dave - When Lovie Smith first joined da Bears, his initial goal, as he had stated in the press, was to beat the Packers. No, not win a SB. Beat the Packers. After saying that, he got a lot of cheering from Chicago.

Several Bears players, and I specifically remember Urlacher, have said on record to the press that their biggest games are against the Packers.

I haven't heard anything from our side of the pond.

The reason the Jone's fumble sticks out was it was at the end of the game, when we had a chance to win it.
But there were MANY plays which you can point to that cost us the game.
Sloppiness, poor coverage on the punt, poor punting, penalties, you name it.

Sure again everyone looks away on special teams play.

packerfanoutwest (24m) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (40m) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (57m) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (58m) : now 3

Zero2Cool (2h) : Who? What?

beast (10h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (15h) : meh

Zero2Cool (19h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (19h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (19h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (22h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (22h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
