Bears 26, Packers 0

Brutal. That's really the only word that comes to mind regarding the Packers loss. The Bears dominated the game. Perhaps those critics were right after all. It may be a long season...

This is my first of what I hope to be Packer game summaries for the season.

Negatives:
  1. The Packers defense was on the field way too long in the first half.
  2. The Packers couldn't get anything going on offense all day.
  3. The Packers couldn't convert on 3rd down.
  4. Way too many penalties against the Packers.
  5. Favre with 2 INTs.
Positives:
  1. The Packers red-zone defense. They held the Bears to field goals 3 or 4 times in the red-zone.
  2. Ahman Green's running: He ran past the century mark and averaged 5+ yards per carry. There was a lot of doubt around the league as to whether or not he could come back from such a severe injury. I think he proved the doubters wrong today.
  3. Charles Woodson returning punts. He broke a 28-yarder to get the ball into Bears territory.
  4. The O-line. The holes were there for the most part for Green to take advantage of, which he did. They also protected Favre fairly well.
  5. Aaron Kampman: Kampman had a pretty decent game. He sacked the quarterback and at times applied the pressure in the pass defense.
Next week: Packers (0-1) vs. Saints (1-0)
