Or should I say, the heart attack Bears? I could hardly breath the last few minutes.

(19,862 posts)for the love of Cheese, would the Packers please spend some time in the off-season working on their 4 minute offense (aka bleeding the clock dry at the end of the game when you have the lead).
They took the ball with 4-something to go up by three, and the Bears had 3 timeouts. If they could have managed 6 consecutive plays without a self-inflicted clock stoppage whilst moving the chains, they could have kneeled it out on the far side of the two minute warning and the game would have been over without the Bears touching the ball.

Not taking anything away from da Bears though. Helluva comeback!

As for Coach Johnson, he was screaming "Fuck the Packers" in the locker room AFTER THE GAME. This is why things get so nasty- when you have a coach who is totally unprofessional. I'll be rooting for the Chicago Bears to lose their next game.

The Packers are also rivals of the Vikings.
I've never seen a Packers coach (or another Bears coach) act like a total asshole.

(1,181 posts)I decided to wait and see. Obviously, I'm glad I did. I haven't seen anyone point out what I saw: the Bears defense actually showed up in the second half. Suddenly the Packers couldn't gain more than one yard on a run. Receivers were covered long enough that Jordan Love started getting pressured. This is the best defense I've seen from the Bears all season. I doubt I will see it again next week against the Rams, but if I do see it, the Bears will win again.
Someone needs to say it: these Bears are a dangerous team. They were being humiliated and bounced back. I wonder if they will ever be out of a game.
