why the packers lost | brettfavre4MVP's Blog

06:18 PM ET 10.08 | First, mike mcarthy didn't call the right plays at the right time. you got to 4-0 passing the ball don't go three and out by doing 3 running. James Jones fumbled twice on consecuative drives that the packers were driving down the field like nothing could stop them. The referees call a roughing the snapper penelty when the nose tackle was obviously angled toward the guard and had no intent on hitting the snapper. that rule was made to protect snappers being nocked over on their butt. the nose tacke didn't even touch the guy until the snapper took a shot at the nose tackle. that rule is barely ever called in the NFL. they rule is usually a youth football rule not a pro team rule OK getting back on track the packers didn't even force one turnover in the hole game. and trust me they had their chance. when a guy is refusing to go down you hold him up and another guys comes and strips it. On one play AJ Hawk was holding a guy up and the ball was exposed and noone came and tried to get the ball. then brett favre tries to make a circus throw but he must of thought brian urlacher was suddenly a packer because he threw it right into his gut. I like brett favre because he plays the game with only one thing on his mind, winning, but you have to know when to throw the ball away and when to take a shot at it.

Yeah I agree. In the first half they had a lot of success throwing the ball, and in the second half they just went away from it. Mike McCarthy tried to grind out the clock running the ball for some unexplainable reason. Everyone's learned to take the bad with the good with Favre.

The Packers did get one turnover I believe it was a tipped pass off Greg Olsen's hands. Anyway I believe the Packers just came out cocky in the second half and the Bears came and played smack mouth football and after the Bears got torched in the first half they came out forced turnovers and played more aggresive football instead of letting them get that easy 5 yards then step in front of the reciever to bat balls down. I'm not saying that the Packers didn't beat but I'm saying it was plenty of good defensive plays to weigh it out.
