Green Bay Packers: The Davante Adams Disapointment

Deonte Thompson set up the Bears at the 41 with a big return of his own.

However, for the first time in 13 games against the Packers as the Bears’ quarterback, Cutler did not throw an interception.

Rodgers said he and his receivers need to do a better job of coordinating their efforts. With a number of Bears in coverage and the heat coming, Rodgers throws it to Davante Adams but it’s a bit high. The defeat not sitting well with James Jones.

Tracy Porter, who picked off Rodgers with 3:19 remaining and was oft dominant while adding four passes defensed after an iffy, first-quarter pass interference penalty, said it was just another day at the office.

In his first year in Chicago, Fox has instilled confidence in his team that they can hang tough in close games. “We’ve won some and we’ve lost some”, Cutler said. “That’s the last thing we talked about”. After getting hit near his left elbow by linebacker Lamarr Houston while retrieving a high snap, Rodgers said he lost feeling in his hand for the rest of the third quarter and into the fourth.

Just a little more than a year ago, the Bears skulked back from Wisconsin after a 55-14 blowout that convinced ownership something drastic needed to be done.

Talk at Halas Hall the next week will center around the Bears’ coordinators because their next opponent, San Francisco, interviewed both defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and offensive coordinator Adam Gase before deciding against both.

Green Bay had won six of its previous seven at Lambeau. Favre in particular, joined Starr on the list of Packer’s retired uniform numbers, as No. 4 will be eternally recognized as Favre’s.

Before Chicago’s game at Green Bay, the Vikings running back tweeted, “Happy Thanksgiving world and Let’s go Chicago Bears!”. As I mentioned above the Bears are holding teams to just 14.6 points per game, which would be tops in the league by a wide margin, over the last five and for the season they are ranked 4th in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game.

It was a rough play for Aaron Rodgers, to say the least, and he let you hear it. The Packers were 3-for-11 on third down.

But McCarthy’s offense couldn’t capitalize, moving quickly up the field on its final two drives only to come up short.

HOLD ON: Robbie Gould’s 21-yard field goal in the fourth quarter for Chicago was the only scoring for either team in the second half of a game played in dreary conditions.

It put ball security at a premium.

Part of why the Bears haven’t been able to get past the Packers of late is an inability to apply pressure on Rodgers.

Cam Newton is still flawless this season. When I watch him, he’s good….

After half a season of struggling, Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy had his second big game in five days on Thanksgiving night.

The Packers have had opportunities to tie or win in the waning moments of each of their last three losses.

Porter is the former New Orleans cornerback who in a Super Bowl intercepted Peyton Manning with Indianapolis driving in the fourth quarter and returned it 74 yards for the clinching touchdown.

After that, they will face a Dallas Cowboys team without Tony Romo.
