The funny thing is, after resigning myself to my fate during the past couple games, I came back to life during this one. I REALLY, REALLY wanted the Packers to win. I NEEDED them to win. They clearly outplayed the Bears. And they somehow lost anyway. It was as if the scoreboard was somehow wrong.

Regular season games against division rivals do matter, even when your team is out of it. A win would've been a nice consolation prize for this nightmare season. The loss makes it a total nightmare. Now the Packers end the season against the 0-15 Lions. It's mighty hard to get excited about that one.

If Mike McCarthy is fired at the end of next season, it won't be because of injuries, it won't be because of turnovers, it won't be because of missed field goals. It will be because he plays not to lose.

They were plenty aggressive, played with a desperation. They executed well for the most part on O.
Mike McCarthy is not the reason we lost this game.

In that situation, you THINK your FG kicker can make the kick.
But this season, so little has gone right, what can go wrong, does.

It doesn't help that Favre can't beat the Niners, Raiders, and Seattle either.

Greg.. this is the calmest game I have watched all season.. I was even keeled till late.. then the emotions got up and I became pissed again.. this 08 team is trimming years off my life.. :lol:

We just can't figure out a way to seal a win... I fear the 0-15 Lions.. :lol:

The worst part is going to be listening to the Mike McCarthy press conf.


We have some things to work on, we will do that and come out Sunday looking for a win.

Fire McCarthy. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEE

In all these years I've never seen a coach turn into such a pansy in the 4th quarter 4 WEEKS IN A ROW

We ran the most CONSERVATIVE plays POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT the 4th quarter on offense AGAIN. Thanks to the horsecaller/late hit, we had plenty of time to go for the touchdown. How the hell is a kick in -11 degree wind chills in Chicago from 38 yards out against a team who absolutely has to block it for dear life a good idea? I knew it wasn't going in the moment we ran the ball on 3rd down. I bet you one playaction in the final 2 minutes would have won the game.

We had a chances to blow the game open after the int. too. We go backwards instead.

The defensive playcalling doesn't look any better. How many completed passes over all of about 6 yards did the bears have all game? So logically at the end of the game and in overtime we should just drop back and give them the dumpoffs and the running plays eh?

It's just incredible how a team this talented can execute so well and then all because of 2 pansies running the team, we blow it every time.

I mean I wouldn't be this upset if this happened in one week, or even two weeks. But you would think when this happens every single damn week, that our coach would learn SOMETHING. But he DOESN'T! And when you go this long without learning one damn thing, you deserve to get fired. I'm going all out rooting for the Lions next week just to see his fat face when he blows it again.

The season was already over. In the waning moments, put the ball in Rodgers' hand and let him make a play. Game after game, McCarthy tries to run out the clock and kick a field goal, instead of letting the best red-zone QB in the league toss one into the end zone. It shows an unconscionable lack of confidence in a QB who's given him no reason not to be confident -- it's a slap in the face, really.

Also, someone please explain to me why we're tossing long bombs early in the game on first downs and then handing off on thirds-and-long.
