Bears Get "Bumped" by Packers 23-10

Jay Cutler and the Bears had a great first week while the Packers struggled in their opener. Yesterday their roles were reversed.

The Bears and the Packers played each other last night in the first of many Thursday Night Football games to be played throughout the year. Heaven forbid if we have to wait until Sunday each and every week to see some football. The Packers defense came out wanting to prove they were better than week 1 vs. the 49ers and showed that tonight. They got in Jay Cutler's face and got familiar with it by sacking him 7 times. Jay Cutler's woes didn't stop there as he threw 11/27 for 126 yards, 1 TD, and 4 INTs. The Packers offense didn't look to great either but they did better than the Bears (along with a trick play by the FG team which led to a TD). Packers win 23-10.

Now we can finally stop talking about how the Packers are "falling apart" and talk about how the Bears are "falling apart." This is going to be fun. While this team does need to improve some, there is no need to push the red button. It can definitely start with some better pass blocking but QB play could improve as well. No one throws 4 INTs solely because of the pressure. Cutler needs to make better decisions.

The O-line knows they stunk and will get ripped by the coaches plenty. So stop bothering the line and worry about your own game. Yes, the risky throws are what can make a QB great but it's also deciding when not to throw them that can make them better.

P.S. Remember when we just had Thursday Night football on Thanksgiving? Why did we change that?
