After big win, Bears deserve respect

Sutton has been replaced on defense by Mitch Unrein and Bruce Gaston, who are bigger and play more stout. That’s not to say that Fox deserves to win the award but he certainly does deserve to be mentioned among potential candidates.

Rodgers’ final throw, a bullet into the end zone for a possible go-ahead score, was broken up by rookie cornerback Bryce Callahan. James Jones failed to catch a pass for the second time in three games.

Cornerback Tracy Porter emerged as a hero from a blue-collar defensive effort, intercepting Rodgers with 3 minutes, 19 seconds to play.

In his first year in Chicago, coach John Fox has instilled confidence in his team that it can hang tough in close games. Lacy also was stuffed for no gain on a fourth-and-2 play past midfield in the opening series of the game and on third-and-1 in the second quarter. “But the thing of it is we’ve always been there, we’ve always had a shot”.

Injuries: Aaron Rodgers suffered a very scary moment in this one, when he banged his left shoulder on a Bears player’s helmet after a botched shotgun snap. Their sticky man-to-man coverage limited Rodgers to 202 passing yards, his third-lowest total of the year, and a season-low passer rating of 62.4. Cutler was able to out play Aaron Rodgers in Lambeau on national TV and lead the Bears to a victory.

The Sidney Lanier graduate is a Green Bay quarterback legend himself, but made the trip to Lambeau Field to help honor another one despite having gone through so much.

At halftime, the Packers unveiled Favre’s name beneath the north end-zone scoreboard alongside the other five players whose numbers were retired.

So, apparently Green Bay’s bounce-back game in Minnesota was nothing more than an aberration in an otherwise abysmal month of football for the Packers.

Peterson said “It feels good”, to hear that, but believes the feeling is understood even when not expressed.

Robbie Gould’s 21-yard field goal in the fourth quarter for Chicago was the only scoring for either team in the second half in a game played dreary conditions. “Those power runners, when they fight for extra yardage, sometimes the first thing that gets sloppy is the ball security”. The Bears launched a touchdown drive from there to tie the game at 7-7.

Good news: Eddie Lacy seemed put to rest any questions about the running game (17 rushes, 105 yards).

ARLINGTON, Texas – Cam Newton is still flawless this season. I understand that this team is building this year, but I hope they can fix the problem before it sets into the foundation.

Newton got a big boost from a defense that returned two of Romo’s three interceptions for touchdowns, and the Panthers ran their NFL-best winning streak to 15 regular-season games with a 33-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday.

Chicago (5-6) has won three of its last four. After all, nine touchdown passes and two interceptions during the Packers’ 1-4 record in November paints a picture that little blame should lie with him.

The Packers, who ended the first half with a 22-yard Mason Crosby field goal, appeared ready to regain the lead on their first drive of the third quarter. “I mean when you care about something and they lose I mean it’s really natural the key is then to acknowledge the source and find a way to cope with it”, said Dr. Gurung.
