That illegal shift is MADDENING! What bullshit!!! I’ve heard NUMEROUS NFL OFFICIALS talk about this exact concept. Every time they mentioned it had to create an advantage gained for the offending team. This did not. Furthermore, the one second set rule is more guideline than a hard rule, even if it is in the rule book. No official watches the players stop, get still, then runs a “one thousand one” in his head. It’s waaay overly technical, and shouldn’t have been called.

Bears would have won in regulation without this call (or so I think). That was a bad call.

That easily goes down as the most thrilling win as a Bears fan in my life. I have no idea how they won that game.

This has been one of the worst coached games I've ever seen. 

Yes - Ben Johnson and Dennis Allen struggled a bit. Packers adjusted well on both sides of the ball.  I think Ben will learn from this though. 
 

Id love for Lions to lose tomorrow. Nuts how hard it is to make playoffs in NFC this year.

Funny they called it there, but I saw the same thing on the first play of the game from GB. WR was not set, but they didn't call it.

The bailing is the biggest issue for me. I think he still sees some ghosts from last year. Might take another offseason to get some of that out of his system. That feels teachable. He has way too many unteachable traits that you can't give up on. He is playing under center with play action more than he has in his entire life combined, so he has to adjust.

DJ Moore said it best on national TV:  F Green Bay.   I can't say that enough.  What a dagger through the heart that was.  We have been on the receiving end of those daggers for a long long time because GB had the better QBs.  If the TV was right, Caleb and this years Bears team holds the NFL record for 4th quarter come from behind wins.  That's not a fluke.  To borrow common phrase:  3 date points is a trend 6 is tsunami.   Anyone playing Chicago and Caleb knows now they damn well better be prepared to play 60 because we ain't giving up.  

(edit:  NFL Network just said Caleb has tied Peyton Mannings record for come from behind wins under the age of 25.  We might still hold the single season record too so how ever you slice it this is elite territory.  Enjoy it!).

I'm not watching the replay of the whole game but will watch the OT. Lots of bad today but I don't care.

I will never bad mouth Caleb again even if he throws 5 interceptions in a game. 

Talk of trading DJ Moore after the season needs to go away. He's a gamer.

We are now in the driver's seat, we have two wins yet but I'm not even considering we might lose. 

Blackwell recovered the onside kick. 

DuShoun Wright caused that fumble in OT.

I love this team, stop any negative talk and enjoy what just happened.

We have a hell of a team here.

Caleb is becoming elite right in front of us, right on schedule.

And we are doing all of this without a shred of a D line. Imagine how scary we will be with an actual pass rush.

We need to do whatever it takes, trade whoever is necessary; JJ, Moore whoever to get one. Draft them too. You add a pass rush to this train and we are real killers.

Caleb has two games to break the record. I would say our opponents need to play all 70 minutes to beat us.

56.9 air yards on that TD pass to Moore, in that crazy wind, which makes it even that much of a better throw.

usually that's the kind of thing Rodgers did to us. Caleb is getting there. Im telling you guys - CW is for REAL.

The way Green Bay lost is the way the Bears used to lose.  I really wanted to run them into the ground but missing guys like Rome and Luther, who both block well, had an effect.  But FGB,  it’s nice to see their fans know how this feels.  Especially because we are a team on the rise… and they know it.

That’s why I want more passing.
