lol hey now ... i only said -1 to counter Non on the portion quoted. 🙂

I'm just thinking we sometimes forget the difference between preseason and regular season. There's a huge difference. You call certain plays to see how players execute. Same on defense. There's just too little game planning going on to say we should be doing the same play calling in regular season as preseason ... especially when a lot of the same plays ARE being called... the difference? Lack of execution.

anyone else thinks that going for 2 was a bad call? with the point after touchdown the packers would have been up by 5. what was the advantage being up by 6? the bears needed a td in any case (4, 5 or 6 points ahead). number 1: the bears score the touchdown and the pat is no good. not really realistic. number 2: the bears score 2 fgs in 1:11 with a successful onside kick. even less realistic.

if the conversion fails, you're up by 4 and another bears td needs you a fg to tie the game. if you're up by 5 they need a td and a conversion for this scenario.

i would've taken the extra point 10 days out of ten. stupid call imo. anyway, we got the W 🙂

I believe worse case scenario, if we were up by 6 and the bears scored a TD, we would hopefully have a chance to block the extra point.

I really don't think there was a big disadvantage to not going for the for-sure kick.

Kind of noticed that McCarthy was playing against the TD rather than FG for the "if they..." scenario.

I was surprised by the move. I probably would not have gone for two but I don't think there was a down side either way.
GB up by 5 or up by 6 is all the same. TD by the Bears and they win.
Perhaps if gives their future opponents something else to think about.

Wait this just in-

MM was running up the score on Da Bears. :thumbright:

I want the Mike McCarthy play calling from the preseason and not this conservative stuff I saw last nite.

How so? I saw a lot of shots deep that night. Driver and Nelson both had the dropsies. Had those passes been completed, AR would have had some sick fantasy stats. Yes, AR missed a few, but if I remember correctly, our receivers dropped a lot more balls than AR missed. Thank God for Gregorious Jennings.

From my count, there was five drops by receivers that were very catchable.
Also, my count, three passes that he should have connected on but didn't. Each of them he was pressured.

I was looking at a picture from the game, and I suddenly remembered that Nick Collins had an interception in the first half. Isn't he the same guy who missed all of camp and virtually the entire preseason rehabbing his knee? If so, that's a remarkable start to his season.

Or am I completely insane and that was someone else?

Collins lost his father and did not attend the OTA's except for a brief appearance. He was there for everything mandatory.

Oh, so was it Nick Barnett who was injured? Damn, for some reason, I consistently get those two confused.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
