Wow, that is ridiculous. You have to know the situation. Getting 5 yards there does nothing. Really disappointing. That would've been a huge win.

Before that 51 yard TD, the Defense had only allowed 175 yards against GB, which was great. 4 sacks, a Safety, and GB was only 4-14 on 3rd Downs. With all those turnovers, the Bears still controlled the clock. However, you can't expect to win when you have that many turnovers.

There is no way a long snapper has that much authority to do that. Like the announcers said, it would only be a 5 yard penalty. It just made no sense.

That was just an ugly game overall. The short snap on 4th and 11 on your own 30? Are you serious? That was the game changing play right there. Also, it didn't help to have Urlacher out on that last drive.

Yeah, that was a horrible defensive call. They were not in field goal range, so a first down there was not as big of a deal compared to a long play like the one they gave up.

We shouldn't have won the way we played, but we almost stole one.

Wow, nice defensive series without Urlacher.

THERE WE GO!

The O-Line is not playing well. Pressure on Cutler every snap and no running game.

There is clearly some communications issues. Cutler is not that bad - geez. I also don't like the game plan at all.

That was ugly. He is trying to do too much.

Urlacher laid out Rodgers on that play.

Nice first defensive stop for the Bears. Only one bad play by Manning on that 1st Down pass. Pisa already injured - ugh.

Please do that.

Yeah, his QB Rating was 75 before that play, and 100 after. A crazy day for sure.

Hell, all of a sudden Green Bay is a Super Bowl pick. This changed because Rodgers looked good in the preseason? Wow. In one breath they say the preseason doesn't matter and in the next they are anointing Rodgers as the League MVP. Take a look at the Passing Leaders for the preaseason: Passing Yards 1. Matt Leinart ARI 507 2. Todd Bouman JAC 485 3. Joe Flacco BAL 470 4. Aaron Rodgers GB 465 5. Ryan Fitzpatrick BUF 459 Ooo, that is some good company.

The LB on the side of the TE covers him in the 3-4. I am sure the Bears will put Olsen on that side most of the game or motion him to that side.

I think Olsen is going to go off if he has someone like Kampman on him most of the game. Cutler's mobility will negate any benefit the 3-4 provides. If I am GB, I would've hoped for a different team to start the season off with.

Another factor is that Marinelli lead the Lions to an 0-16 record last year. So he comes with some negative baggage and this is just something to take the spotlight off his past failures.

Didn't they also have a Love-Boat incident? The whole organization has been in shambles for years.

of course the Steelers were going to win, but the spread.....

Troy Polamalu on Madden 2010 Cover, gets hurt in first game of the season. Ouch. We play the Steelers in Week 2, and that is a huge loss for them if he is out (and a plus for us). EDIT: Steelers coach Mike Tomlin indicated after Thursday's game that SS Troy Polamalu was initially diagnosed with a sprained MCL in his left knee. There's nothing "concrete" yet on Polamalu's injury, and Tomlin admitted that it could be more serious. Expect the All Pro to be sidelined for at least 3-6 weeks. - Rotoworld

Why do you say that? He has only 4 300-yd passing games in his career, and 2 were vs the 0-16 Lions. Cutler had 8 300-yd games last year.

11, damn we gave up a Safety or a 2 pt conversion?
