I dunno. It was a pretty ugly game overall. (No, I'm not going to whine about the Ref's whistling a play dead that should've been a free play after the Bears neutral zone infraction. Packers should've never been in the position of needing that call to win in the first place.)
I'll give the Bears this: They're playing with an awful lot of heart the last seven games. John Fox is really turning that team around quick. NO ONE expected the Bears to beat the Packers this year. The Bears have won games they were major underdogs in, and lost some games in the last two minutes they should've won, but didn't because the Defense collapsed.
It sounds cliche, but they actually play better than their record indicates. They're still a few key players away from having a solid and consistent Defense, but they're certainly better than they were last year and at the beginning of this year.
God help me for saying this, but Cutler actually looks like he wants to win, and actually looks like he gives a sh*t sometimes.
I'm sure Virginia McCaskey was smiling last night. She's all about beating the Packers.
Thanks n/t
Tracy Porter had already backed off due to the play already being whistled dead when the receiver caught the ball.
Had not the play been whistled dead and Porter had not backed off, could Porter have been able to break up the play? We'll never know. But the Bears did stop them on four plays from the 8, so it was a deserved win.
