This was a disappointing loss for everyone involved.

After DeShawn win broke off a 12 yard run to start the game, it looked like the Packers would dominate. And they did dominate every category except 1: turnover ratio. James Jones fumbled twice, Woodson fumbled on a punt return, and Favre threw an interception. (Favre had another int on the last play of the game, but that did not affect the outcome of the contest.)

Even with 4 turnovers, the Packers were still up and in a position to win the game going into the 4th quarter when the score was 20-20. The problem was momentum. The Packers were on their heels, and the Bears could smell blood. Remember, the Bears are not a good team, and Lovie Smith's goal is to beat the Packers twice every year. You could see this in the way the defense was tackling. In the first half they were stopping the Bears at the point of contact. In the 4th quarter they Bears were driving the Packers forward.

The Packers could have, and should have won this game, you just cant make that many mistakes and still win.
