Black Friday takes on new meaning — Green Bay Packers

So the significance of spoiling Brett Favre’s big Thanksgiving night at Lambeau should not be diminished.

“Whether it’s missing blocks up front, the sacks, the drops, whatever it is, you look at the talent level on this team and everybody’s feeling really good about it, but everybody’s just not doing their job consistently”, Lang added.

Progress and respectability would have been evident even if Rodgers had found a receiver in the back of the end zone to rob the Bears of a win Thursday night. The strong presence of Porter in the Bears secondary has he came up with four pass deflections on the night and, if not for a bad call in the first quarter, would have had an interception too.

They did it by shutting out Rodgers and the Packers in the second half, by making Rodgers the seventh quarterback out of 11 this season to be held under 200 yards passing by the Bears defense. A lot of teams are playing us strictly one-high.

More specifically, McCarthy basically blamed Adams for a key interception Rodgers threw in the fourth quarter.

“I lost feeling in my hand for a good portion of the game there in the third quarter, fourth quarter”, Rodgers said, via the Green Bay Press-Gazette. They tallied 20 yards in nine plays and seemed to be doomed – or so the narrative of Bears-Packers in Lambeau Field would suggest.

Green Bay had won six of its previous seven at Lambeau in the series. “It was more about us”, first-year Bears coach John Fox said.

The long-anticipated ceremony is the latest step in a lengthy reconciliation between the Packers and Favre, the three-time MVP helped revive a struggling franchise when he arrived in 1992.

Green Bay’s stranglehold on the NFC North after a 6-0 start has deteriorated by falling to 7-4, a half game behind the front-running Vikings, who play Sunday at the Atlanta Falcons.

“Difficult loss this evening”.

Rodgers was put in that position by an errant third-and-15 shotgun snap from backup center J.C. Tretter, a play that resulted in a 14-yard loss.

With driving rain drenching the field, Cutler calmly led the Bears on a clock-eating drive in the fourth quarter that kept Rodgers on the bench with Chicago leading 17-13.

The one-time National Football League poster QB for interceptions, who showed his focus on ball security by going virtually the first two weeks of training camp without throwing a single interception, threw none on Thursday. That’s a completion percentage of 42.9 percent, an average of 3.7 yards per pass, and a passer rating of 41.2. “I don’t know what the final numbers are, but we probably would’ve liked to have a few more attempts”.

“Obviously, we’re running out of time here”, frustrated right guard T.J. Lang said. “So we need to have some better communication and make sure there’s not those discrepancies in the depths and the adjustments”.

“On behalf of the Green Bay Packers organization and our fans, welcome home”, team president Mark Murphy said.

The defense made the biggest statement.

“A huge win for this team”, safety Chris Prosinski said.

“We’re going to stack up these wins and let the record take care of itself at the end”. Rodgers said afterward he was trying to throw that ball to Randall Cobb, and in fairness to Adams, it would have been a tough catch on a high Rodgers fastball.
