Rodgers Shines, Cutler Fades As Packers Top Bears 21-15 at Lambeau

In the midst of the fake-punt-related fun, I forgot to tell you that Bears LB Brian Urlacher is out for the rest of the game with a sprained ankle. Do with that information what you will.

Jay Cutler has been much better in the second half, but it hasn’t meant much for the overall tally: It’s still 12-10, and, to be frank, I’d like to see some offense. Defense is all well and good, but this is just gross.

In the meantime, Bears wideout Earl Bennett just cost his team a first down -- his catch, by the way -- because he lined up offside before the Bears’ snap. Well played.

Three straight throws, Jay Cutler deserved to have his pass intercepted. The third time, it was, and Packers safety Nick Collins was the culprit.

In the meantime, as my roommate Brian just noticed -- he managed to articulate the vague feeling I’d been having for a few minutes there -- the Bears are almost completely ignoring running back Matt Forte in favor of Cutler roll-outs and drop-backs. Which is all well and good, but, um, guys? You have Matt Forte. Maybe use him?

In the words of Happy Gilmore’s girlfriend, AARON LOOK OUT AHHHH:

Pardon my ugly screen capture, but oh my goodness.

After a brief and relatively well-handled (by the Bears, that is) first drive from the Packers, Mason Crosby had a field goal attempt from 49 yards. As you may have gathered from the headline, he missed it left. Which, you know, I don’t judge. That’s a tough kick. I can’t even throw the ball 49 yards, let alone in a straight line.

Then again, can Mason Crosby blog like this? I don’t think so, son.

The Bears kicked off to the Packers. Jordy Nelson caught the ball. Then Jordy Nelson went middle, made a cut, ran outside, and very nearly broke the whole play wide open. Were it not for Bears kicker Robbie Gould slowing Nelson down and getting him out of bounds, it might be 7-0 Packers.

Stay with us for updates, musings, and general fun. Refresh my Red Bull, Alfred! The night ... it calls to me.
