    A few observations.
    Tyreek Hill is a different level of fast.
    The Cowboys offensive offensive line is going to get Dak killed.
    Jimmy G looked more like Kenny G for the most part today.
    When Mike Tomlin goes home to his wife, does he open the door, sit down at the table, and say "It was a tough game today....We've got to do better in all 3 phases....Nothing major on the injury front and we will get back to work tomorrow to improve on the little things."

    Not yet, and it looks like he might actually come back in the game. So maybe that was a little premature.
    Right now we're at the, "Are the Packers this bad or are the Bears this much better?" phase.

    Whoa whoa whoa.
    Youre not putting Rodgers back in now are you?
    Mark Murphy just reached for a bottle of Crown Royal.

    Not that it probably matters either way, but down 20, I'm not kicking the FG there...

    Negative sir.
    Good spot.
    First down.

    When they showed the replay it didn't look like it was past the marker. No way the ref could see it and give it
    to him without measuring. Might have had it, but can't believe he could see it was a clear
    1st w.o measuring, not a game-changing call just hard to think he could tell that was a
    definite 1st.

    What about all the passes he threw that were not interceptions, though?

    Still in the third quarter, fourth-and-9, a gimpy quarterback getting his feet back under him and the first real success you've had on offense all night makes it not a terrible decision. If you can get the ball back quickly and score again, all of a sudden it's a two-possession game early in the fourth quarter with Rodgers on your side.

    Hey, over half of his passes were caught by someone.

    I thought Conner pretty much showed he can be their feature back next year.

    Outside of one fumble, which did kill, he had a great game.

    Won't surprise me a bit if Rodgers guts his way through this game and we find out tomorrow that he's got a torn something or other and is going to miss a couple of months. They're taking great pains to keep him as immobile as possible out there.
