Detroit had the momentum, I don’t know why we were playing for the field goal on that last regulation drive. We got two 10+ yard first downs on the 1st down in a row, keep pushing that poo poo and kick the field goal as the backup plan

Presumably nothing open downfield but yeah should've taken more advantage of those timeouts.

I know you've been calling for Poles' head before he was even hired, but how quickly we forget Matt Millen's reign of terror in Detroit.

He was 16-32 in his first 3 years as GM. Bears are 3-16 with the Chiefs in Arrowhead next week.

Yeah between Dillon being mediocre at best and WR / defensive drops the game was theirs for winning. Still, losing by one on the road with the players they were missing isn't too bad. This is a year to figure out if Love is the guy and so far he's been good.

Yea it's going to be tough to reconcile "this is the year to see if Love is QB1" with "the Packers are annual playoff contenders". On the one hand I can't be too upset given who we had out but on the other hand we had a 12 point lead going into the fourth.

In addition to screen-a-palooza there's been several plays in the first two games where it looks like receivers end up running identical routes in the same spot.

Reminded of JT O'Sullivan seeing them run a double corner in week 1 and just going "THIS ISNT A THING. THIS ISN'T A PLAY IN FOOTBALL"

They'll be in tank mode in a couple of weeks. Best to let him help that process along. Then we can get fans to talk about how good it is for Poles to be incredibly bad.

the biggest compliant i have with campbell is, ironically, his conservative streak. He seems to thrive on going for it on 4th down in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarter. But when the game is on the line, he seems to always side on "I'll take the field goal and fight another day" instead of just going gently caress it, I don't trust my defense - let's just win. Maybe he feels like if he does that, his defense will get demotivated but drat they suck rear end. Give your offense more chances to win it for you, even if you take flak for it not going your way.

One of them passed away a few years ago, so that show is no more.

I think the surviving member kept at it a few years, but it wasn't quite the same. Not sure if he still does as he is over 80 now.

I am on vacation and spent the morning climbing Black Butte with zero cell signal and zero awareness of anything going on in the Bears game.

10/10 would recommend giving up on the Bears' entire season after 2 quarters of regular season play.

Yea that sounds a lot better than watching the bears. I’ll probably watch like a quarter each week to find something embarrassing to look at and then move on. Currently planning for a poo poo fall with both my pro and college teams sucking total rear end and the Cubs trying to blow their playoff spot. Ahh sports.

Was expecting an onside kick after the TD tbh

I mean they got the ball back anyway but still. Be aggressive
