It was, but it was an even worse call. You had two plays to get a first down and you throw into the endzone against double coverage? Completely ignorant. If anything, you want to take as much time off the clock as possible and not give A-Aron time to move the ball down the field.

Williams had a great play on the sideline. I don't know why more DBs don't do everything they can to shove the WR out of bounds before he can get both feet down in that kind of situations. While the idea was good, I feel like Tramon got there early. I was kind of surprised it wasn't challenged.

That looked like Rodgers' call at the line. Normally I say pass and end it for good but if you run the clock down you are punting to Mr. Biscuit with less than a minute left and no timeouts.

That was seriously one of the worst NFL football games I have ever seen.
I hope we aren't as discombobulated as those 2 teams on Sunday.

That was a horrendous football game lol ... especially on offense obviously. I just don’t see “it” from Trubisky; he simply can’t pass consistently enough and the Bears play callers know it.
Even GB’s offense looked bad. Maybe chalk it up to no reps during preseason?
Bad way to start the year from a football standpoint

I have a feeling your going to see a lot of games like that this weekend. Sloppy, inconsistent, and just poor performance. NO ONE played in the preseason, and it shows.
As much as I hate the preseason, it looks like at this point a necessity to get these teams ready. Even one of the best QBs to have ever done it looked lost. Poor footwork, poor mechanics, and just bad throws by Arod tonight. Goes to show you. Even the best get rusty.

One amendment to how poor the game was is that both those defenses are pretty damn good.

Yeah, it looks like they’re using Cohen near the line of scrimmage to get it out of Trubisky’s hands quickly

I think we call him Genard Avery. Roquan Smith is more of a traditional inside/middle linebacker. Genard Avery is barely a linebacker at all.

Roquan Smith is the guy I wanted us to take with the #4 overall pick.
Can't say that I am disappointed with the Denzel Ward pick.

I watched the Bears/Packers game last night. Trubisky took a big step forward from 2017 to 2018. But if last night was any indication, he won't be taking that same step forward this year.
I saw it posted how this may have been a game about two very good D's, but I disagree. I certainly feel that the Packers D will be better with Pettine there but I don't see them as anything more than middle of the road on D. I just don't see the wealth of talent to launch them any further than that.
Chicago did a nice job of holding them to 10 points but it was the Chicago O, or lack there of, that gave the game to the Packers. It was simply a putrid performance on the part of the Chicago O.
For teams employing new coaches and systems, I think we'll see a lot of that early on. Combined with the teams that just have poor QB's.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
