Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers

That’s almost 10 percent lower than his percentage from last season and he’s just two years removed from leading the National Football League with a 71-percent mark in 2013 (see accompanying chart).

The Green Bay Packers chose their home game with the Chicago Bears as the night they wanted to honor Brett Favre and retire his jersey- of all the games they could have chosen, why this one? The Packers snapped a three game losing streak last week with a win over the Vikings, but the team has now lost two straight games at Lambeau Field.

But the voice of the Packers says the players are likely not hitting the panic button – but rather focusing on correcting the myriad of mistakes the team is struggling with. “We’ve had guys in and out of the lineup all year long”. “And for them to jell that quickly, learn a new system, it speaks a lot of our coaches on how good of a job they’re doing. It speaks a lot about the players and what kind of character and what kind of players we have on that side”.

The retired quarterback has long supported the charity co-founded by another former Packers quarterback, Hall of Famer Bart Starr. “It was drag-slant. James Jones ran a slant, and like I said, the official missed the call”.

Romo went on injured reserve with a designation to return after the first injury, and the Cowboys couldn’t win without him. Porter reached in and knocked the ball down for one of four pass breakups he had.

Adams was exposed in the loss to Detroit that when he gets roughed up by opposing cornerbacks, he gets flustered. Those plays alone would earn him the game ball. Thats pretty damned huge, even for a sports organization that has zero trouble finding viewers, and especially on a day when the early games both showcased undefeated teams. He gained 100 yards on 22 attempts vs. Minnesota last week, then carried 17 times for 105 yards and added a 25-yard touchdown reception Thursday against Chicago.

Rodgers took a shot to the back of his left arm near the elbow in the third quarter from linebacker Lamarr Houston while the quarterback recovered a high snap. After needing six possessions to pick up their second first down, the Bears picked up four first downs in a span of five plays on their final drive of the half.

-Cutler continued to display a good rapport with slot receiver Marc Mariani. Much of that is due to injuries and limited personnel. Two of them were on a drive for the go-ahead TD and the last in the fourth quarter. The ball sails out of the ends zone, the air goes out of the Packers fans, and the Bears have the win. But we came in with the mentality that we weren’t gonna leave Lambeau without a win.

“Make no bones about it, if you don’t hold onto the football, turn the football over, your opportunities are going to decrease or go away”, McCarthy said. He’s a fun guy to play with.

And the Bears’ errors – a false start by tight end Khari Lee, a dropped pass by Jeremy Langford, a near interception by Cutler, to name a few – seemed to significantly outnumber their positive plays. A 23-yard catch-and-run by Cobb was the key play. That’s the type of thing can that become part of a team’s long-term mindset, the way Charles Tillman’s punched forced fumbles once did.
