Ha ha I have one thought;

Cutler may be one of the better defensive player for the Pack. ;D

Well, to be fair, the Packers defensive secondary made a good play on the first interception and tipped the ball up.  On the second one, the receiver ran the wrong route; the Packers Radio Network even pointed that one out.  Not saying the guy is perfect, but he didn't lose the game single-handedly any more than Rodgers won it single-handedly.  I believe the biggest boost to the Packers came from the ability to victimize the Bears depleted and inexperienced defensive secondary.  Without Jared Allen up front, their pass rush was weak and Rodgers had more time to let receivers get free.  Good win for the Packers; just what they needed.

Biggest difference between the Packers and the Bears is that Rodgers is a much better QB.  Simple as that.  Both defenses are poor (Packers have the better secondary, Bears are better (not as horrible?) against the run) and both have a plethora of weapons on offense (Nelson, Cobb, Marshall, Forte, etc) but Rodgers is just a much, much better QB.

I will say this, Kyle Fuller is struggling a bit as a rookie, but he looks pretty good out there.  Pretty sure he's going to be a thorn for awhile, if his ankles recover from that move Cobb put on him ;)

On the other side, continue to be impressed with Clinton-Dix.  Not sure how much longer you can continue to start Hyde over him, particularly when covering TEs.   >:(

All the more reason to keep developing the running game.   ;)

All things aside he is a good QB and theBearsneed stability at that position look at the yards they racked up yesterday.

I never even noticed the no punt thing until the end of the game , when they said such. That is rare indeed.

Yeah, that was nice that the punters had a day off.  I don't think either of them even dressed for the game.   ;)
