I thought we started well on the first drive and could have done better in the red zone. The performance of the defense has been woeful. We have to do better on 3rd down. Their touchdowns have been far too easy. We need to stay positive. There is plenty of time left in the game.

I didn’t like the last pass, but the interception, if I’m correct on the placement, turned out to be better than a good punt.

Hopefully Brisker is OK and Allen gets his act together. Poor start for the defense. No pressure from the dline. It’s going to be a long game, so no need to panic. It’s now up to us to put together a drive to match them and give the defense a rest. I am a bit worried about how slow Johnson looks in coverage.

It’s 01:00 in the morning in the UK and I’m up and watching the game. I could you taped it and watched the game in the morning, but excitement got the better of me. I know it will be worth it. I expect to be tired tomorrow, especially because I’m travelling to Manchester to watch United play Brighton at Old Trafford in the FA Cup. I fully expect Johnson to get his second win of the season against the Packers, as per his statement, and therefore ram it down Lafleur’s throat LOL I still cannot believe what we have done this years, let’s go Bears.

Go Bears, I can’t wait to watch us smash the Packers.

I agree the scripted plays should give us an advantage if Johnson is doing his job, and something seems amiss. Hopefully he will be able to look at what worked in the other games and factor this into his scripted plays.

Johnson needs to ensure his scripted plays are infallible including the audibles. The offense cannot start slowly. I hope they have just been over cautious with Rome and he can be a large factor in this game. I hope Johnson doesn’t go away from the run game. I think that was his mistake on the last possession we had v Detroit at the weekend. It is crucial that the defense plays a penalty free game, and doesn’t give cheap 1st downs. However, if we can be productive on offense, all the defense needs to do is to be good in the red zone, and we can win this game.

Also why wasn’t the cheap shot the DB did to Moore in the first quarter, not called, which will make him feel sore today. For me that was a Charles Martin type play. I was disappointed that Rome and Luther weren’t fit to play, but it might bode well over the next 2 games, if it helps them to be fully fit. It’s a shame our dline is not stronger. I hope this is not something that affects us in the playoffs.

What a turn around in Ben Johnson’s first season. Looks like a fantastic signing for the Bears because it improved us, but made the Lions worse. Poles needs a pat on the back for finally putting together a strong roster, especially what he achieved at the guard and centre of the O line. Let's hope we can at least get the 2nd seed and host a playoff game. Finally, Merry Christmas to my Bears friends, this year has been so different to what we have had to put up with recently. One more win and we will win what is likely the hardest division in the NFL.

I'm ecstatic that we won the game. But, this has to be one of the games where I have to say it is not deserved. We were poor on all phases of the game and I'm embarrassed in how we played against the Packers. Johnson needs to call the game better, and how the defense played after Love went down was disgraceful. Was this poor play from the players or was this down to Dennis Alen being piss poor with his play calling.

Is there any chance that Rome and Luther can play this week? If players are ruled out in the week, can this change at game time? Unsure whether the league can deactivate players to prevent clubs from falsifying their injury reports.

I am shocked how this season has gone so far. I thought we might have a slight chance of sneaking into the playoffs. This has been an enjoyable season so far, and please let us get revenge next week and power into the playoffs.

How did Johson get that ball? I was just about to say, has Johson got lead in his boots today, because he looks a yard slower than normal.

Glad we scored, but didn't like the pass. That could easily have been picked off. I suppose it's great when it works, but dumb when it doesn't.

I hope Caleb isn't injured on the last ‘nothing’ play at the end of the half. Probably dumb running the play.

Dumb play by officials blowing the blistle as forward progress stopped That ball was fumbled immediately. Had some plays go our way last week, so maybe it has equalled up.

Playing really well and after missing the field goal. We give up a stupid long pass. Caleb has made some fine passes.

Shame we couldn't get in the end zone. Enjoyed the game. It shows we are close, and wouldn't have thought this at the start of the year. DJ Moore might have been the better choice.

Come on Caleb. Make up for the poor defensive series. Show the Packers that you can keep us in the game. Dennis Allen needs to make adjustments because putting everyone on the line is not working today.

Go into the game as the no 1 seed and probably couldn't have put in a worse performance. We have had some calls by the refs going our way, which is unusual. If not, the game would be over.

I thought we would have been more competitive on offence. Hopefully Johnson will improve on play calling, and Caleb will turn up in the second half, because we have been woeful so far.

Are we the number 2 seeds. If we are, how sweet is this after the struggles we have had over the past 20 years.

9-3 how about them Bears. Going into a difficult part of the schedule and we just keep winning. I thoroughly enjoyed how we played tonight. A great team win.

Great stop on the 2 point conversion. Come on Johson and Williams. Destiny is awaiting. I hope the Bears make this a wonderful Thanksgiving to my friends over the pond.

When we win this game, will we be the 2nd seed in the NFC?
