There's just too many variables to be right or wrong on this. It could go on forever. There's just no right answer or wrong answer. It's easy as hell to be a big shot prognosticator now that the game is over, but in the events, there's a huge difference. There's a flow of the game to consider, which is obviously being forgotten here. Not to mention the other team's decisions. Who's to say they'd have scored in the first place? They could have kneeled to kill the clock to set up the chip shot FG and risk missing it in favor of overtime instead of giving the ball back to Rodgers with a minute to go.

Wait, no one wants to think about that!!

Letting them score is a awfully close minded thinking process. You assume the ball carrier would run it in. That would be a helluva funny scene though, lol. Ball carrier runs it into the 5 yard line, stops, the Defense doesn't pursue... they just all stand there ... waiting ... GAME OVER! hah

I dunno, I think its funny. It's too bad some are so pigheaded and refuse to see things from another perspective other than their own. And when you start to show positives to their perspective, they just pounce on it as if there's no other perspective instead respecting both scenarios, or multiple scenarios.

Take, take, take, no give with some of ya. Amusing how predictable it is too, almost as predictable as some of our play calling.

Regardless of the decision to not let them score, I don't see how one could think it wouldn't have been incredibly easy to let him score. Perhaps I'm just remembering it wrong, but I saw no indication that he was going to stop, so I don't understand that argument.

you saw the game and you saw that he tried to get it in. imo it was a bad call from the bears perspective. as already mentioned in this thread, they could have take a knee, run down the clock, kick the fg .... over. they gave the packers the chance to take the early score, but the packers refused to take it.

and if the ball carrier stops, build a pile on him and run it in by your own :D

As I said, I'll have to watch it again, but I saw no indication of the bears wanting to do anything other than score. Yes, this is just a feeling but it's the feeling I got from watching the game live. It looked to me like their number one goal was to score and I don't think any knees would have been taken by the RB.
