Well, I guess the Packers still had a stinker left in them because they sure stunk up Soldier field today.

There really isn't too much to say about the Packers loss to the Bears. The Packers were terrible in all phases of football today, and the Bears executed. It would be easy to blame this game on the punting unit, and while that was a big part of the loss, most of the trouble started with the defense.

The defense just flat out did not show up today. The Bears ranked last in the NFL in rush yards, and they ran all over the Packers defense today. The Packers gave up 139 rushing yards when the Bears were averaging 78 yards a game on the ground. It's not like the Packers didn't know the Bears were going to run, it December and there were wind gusts up to 40 mph! And Kyle Orton was the starting quarterback. The Bears rushed 13 times on the opening drive. 13 rushes in a row, and the Packers could hardly stop them, and the Bears held the ball for 10 minutes. On the opening drive. That really set the tone for the game, and it wasn't good for the Packers.

The offensive line got beat, the defensive line got beat, and the Packers rolled over. This with the first seed in the NFC on the line. I like Coach McCarthy a lot, but most of the performance has to be on him. His team did not look good, and that is his job.

Maybe there is a silver lining in this loss though. Maybe the Packers really are not an outdoor team. Maybe they are built for speed and not power. Maybe playing in the Dome in January is better than playing in Lambeau.

Hey, I know I'm stretching, but 35-7 sucks.
