The hate on Ted Thompson is silly. He makes mistakes, and needs to be called on them. Fair enough. But if the Packers were healthy, they would be one of, if not THE best, team in the NFL. Even with all the injuries, they still compete. That's impressive.

It's hard to win games with multiple 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th string players playing. I think the Packers would have won this game even without Rodgers if the rest of the team was still relatively healthy. There's only so much a 53 man roster can endure, and it's officially caught up to the Packers now.

No one is giving the Bears any credit for this win and it is one reason why so many Bears fans hate the Packers (and Packers fans) Of course it a fan thing and it applies to every team on both sides of the equation.

The Bears had 2 weeks to prep and they did a great job. Yes, our team played like crap but theirs played very well (besides their run defense)

If I see one more post blaming the refs for missing holding calls I'm going to puke. I saw the Packers get away with quite a few myself. They were letting them play and I liked it.

It was a frustrating loss and the potential loss of Rodgers is even worse but don't make yourselves sound like a bunch of pussies blaming injuries and the refs. Don't forget the bears were down Cutler and Briggs and McCown is not exactly a stellar backup. We sure made him look like one though.

Our team played poorly in most aspects of the game and it hurt but their team played well in most aspects of the game and that hurt just as much and the refs did what refs do in every game. They screw up on both sides of the ball.

Take it like a man. Hell even my 10 year old nephew had enough class not to rub it in.

It is inexcusable that he left the Packers with no backup other than this lemon, Wallace - after cutting 3 who would have at least given us a chance even with the sub-standard O Line and the shaky D.
