It's a tough day to be a true fan of the Packers. There is emotional investment and you tend towards the down side after a gift rapped victory to the Bears. Fumbles, interceptions, conservative play calling from coach 'Joseph Mccarthy'.....let's beat the Redskins!
From Peter King's column: "Now you know why coach Mike McCarthy and offensive coordinator Joe Philbin have been preaching about turnovers since the first Green Bay minicamp. Talk about throwing a game away."
"We see how slim the margin for victory is when the Pack turns it over four times."
"The Lions are frauds."
"I think anyone who ever chuckles about the importance of turnovers needs to watch a tape of the second half of the Sunday night game, when Green Bay turned it over three times, and also needs to know that the Packers were 31st in the NFL in turnovers, with 139, in the four years before 2007. There is such a direct correlation between winning and not turning it over. The Pack was expert at winning the turnover battle in its 4-0 start, and horrible in losing a game it had no business losing to the Bears on Sunday night."
"Green Bay's offense was beyond futile in the second half, as conservative a unit as I've seen all year."
Counters Mccarthy, "The Bears came out and played us every single snap the second half in two-deep. We had excellent opportunities to run the football. I'm disappointed in our run game, frankly, in the second half - especially the way we ran the ball in the first half."
I guess I am recovering already. It seems like the silver lining is- more or less- turnovers lost the game. That is more fixable then a general ass kicking!
If the Packers win at home against the Redskins they would go into the bye week 5-1......if.... etc.
