Favre and Starr back for special night, and Packers loss

Adams has only 15 receptions and 129 yards to show for it.

But Thanksgiving night, there his defense was, ready to beat Rodgers.

Dropped from the Leaderboard: Aaron Rodgers (good at dropping prompt F-bombs, though), Datone Jones (still played a disruptive game), James Jones (bring back the hoodie).

“Officials are human, too”, McCarthy said.

Adams wasn’t alone in his struggles. “Green Bay lost, and we’re back into first place”. The Packers gained possession at their 20 with 2 minutes, 45 seconds remaining and drove to the Bears 8 with 51 seconds left. The major reason why is a malfunctioning offense, despite the presence of Aaron Rodgers.

That comes off the last time Green Bay played at home against Detroit. Two months ago, he was considered the Michael Jordan of football. That’s not to say he was perfect-he got himself into an nearly disastrous situation with the fumble that slipped out of his hands with about 4:30 left in the fourth quarter-but for the most part, he was able to deliver. Though pulled from a relatively small sample size, that figure includes three games where the offense produced 16 points or less.

It’s a game the Packers need to start a winning streak of their own as December begins.

Cutler completed just nine of his 17 passing attempts in the first half for 78 yards with one touchdown and an 84.9 quarterback rating. He’d finish with 202 yards and a score on 22-of-43 passing.

The Arizona Cardinals have placed outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley on season-ending injured reserve with a torn pectoral muscle and signed defensive tackle Red Bryant.

He still has a way to go before he can be considered one of the league’s elite quarterbacks, but Cutler’s performance on Thursday night helped the Bears get within one game of. The ball hit off Adams’ hand and fell incomplete. It turned into the Bears’ first touchdown of the game. Sherrick McManis had one play and Alan Ball had three. “We’ve made scheme changes from last year to this year and it’s not productive enough”. He’s running over and around would-be tacklers.

“It’s wonderful”, Cutler said after they game. It came after a monumental 17-13 victory by the Bears over the Packers for just their second win at Lambeau Field in eight years.

Green Bay had won six of its previous seven at Lambeau in the series.

Or maybe not. Maybe the Bears would’ve stopped Rodgers and his offense anyway. Then the Packers crushed the Vikings at TCF.

That sounds like the firepower the Packers will have when Rodgers gets Jordy Nelson back to pair with Randall Cobb and Eddie Lacy.

No, the Packers didn’t have an interception or a forced fumble.

There were several other missed opportunities.

“The way our defense is playing, it makes it easy for us”, he said. “If you could bottle it, I wouldn’t be standing here talking to you, that’s for sure”, Packers coach Mike McCarthy told reporters about the differences in his team week-to-week.

No matter how devastating a loss this was for the current Green Bay roster, the halftime ceremony can not be overlooked.

He shared a warm hug with fellow Packers legend Bart Starr. “To see him that excited, at 81 years old, was pretty awesome”.

And there’s one player who has epitomized the Packers’ ineptitude more than any other – Davante Adams.

It was an incredibly special moment for Favre, for Starr and for the franchise.
