The Good
- Defense front 7 pass rush. Even though the Bears offense line is the equivalent of a grammar school offensive line, we shouldn't discount the pressure the Pack front 7 put on Cutler early and often. Changed the entire game.
- Cedric Benson. Benson carried the ball 20 times for 80 yards AND caught a few passes out of the backfield (something we rarely saw with Grant). Opened up some possibilities
- More Cobb. Cobb is such a versatile player and color me sold on this kids future with the Packers. Taking a pitch out of the backfield was the cherry on the top.
- Special Teams. Contained Hester and the fake field goal...need I say more?
The Bad
- DJ Smith in coverage. Only placed under bad, not ugly because while he is a liability in coverage he is exceptional in pass rush and run defense.
- Receiver drops. Close to 5 this game? On two of them, Rodgers did put a little extra on it BUT growing up as a tight end, I was always told if the ball hits you in the HANDS, you better catch it. Jordy had one hit him in the hands, Finley had one hit him in the hands, and Jones had one hit him in the hands (in the end zone). Can't continue to happen.
The Ugly
- Jermichael Finley.
- 5 sacks.
