Another loss, this one when Justin Fields is stuffed at the goal line in the fourth quarter.
I’m guessing that every now and then, you Bears fans wonder why your higher power hasn’t visited upon Green Bay what it has visited upon Chicago. The humiliation. The pain and desolation. You wonder why the football desert in which the Bears have lived in for so long hasn’t moved north to where the Packers reside.
What would life feel like with a consistent winning football organization in Chicago? What would life feel like if the Packers fell into 30 years of despair?
The hell if you know.
The Packers beat the Bears 27-10 Sunday night in Green Bay, giving them 47 victories in the past 62 meetings between the two teams. Their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, is 24-5 against the Bears. Come now. Really?
Yes, really. And here’s why: It’s a game of inches, and the Packers own the measuring stick, too. On fourth and a sliver at the goal line, with the Bears trailing 24-10 late in the game, the Bears ran quarterback Justin Fields out of the shotgun. Why they did that is almost beyond understanding. They had been hammering the ball down the Packers’ throats the entire drive. Why not line up the QB under center, and let him or rugged David Montgomery plow ahead? Perhaps former head coach Matt Nagy, constantly criticized for his play-calling during his stay in Chicago, interrupted the communication between new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and Fields. The result was the Packers stuffing Fields short of the goal line — even if replay showed he might have crossed it.
Bears quarterback Justin Fields starts with razzle-dazzle, ends with dud vs.
