Elaborate on how the GB game vs Chicago wasn't a great offensive game?

They scored 17 points.. which even the Falcons and Cardinals did to that defense 1-2 weeks prior. It was mediocre at best.

I don't think you watched the game..

They had 0 punts. Both teams used a ball control offense so GB only had 7 possessions, but they didn't really have trouble actually moving the ball.

Yup.  Dude just score board scouts.  

0 punts.  432 yards.  7.2 yards per play.  

Poor redzone offense, Missed FG and sketchy clock management at the end of the 1st half left points on the field

I mean, I suppose you could argue that could happen again vs a good Dallas defense.

They weren’t particularly great in their final game, but I can concede that they played well against Carolina and Minnesota. Still, as a team they weren’t exactly stellar to the extent that I’d say they were on fire. The win against the Vikings was really the only noteworthy performance, with the other wins being a quiet one score win against Chicago and a late FG win against Carolina of all teams. Think they’d have to play a bit above that level to beat the Cowboys at their place.

Green Bay's offense was great against Chicago. We never punted the ball. There was a missed FG, fumble, and mismanaged play clock to end half for another FG.

Majority of the drives for both teams were relatively long which is why the score was low.

If you wanted to argue that the Packers weren't sharp, I probably could have gotten behind that statement.  If you wanted to argue that the score was a bit misleading, I would have agreed with you.  But to argue that they didn't play well, now that's just some poor opinion.  The Packers really only had 2 miscues offensively that game: the missed FG on their first drive (Anders Carlson missing a 41 yard FG) and the fumble by Jordan Love.   But you don't complete 84% of your passes with 2 TDs, 0 INTs, and 9.3 YPA.  And the running game added another 4.6 YPC for a total of 124 rushing yards.  I guess if you really wanted to nitpick, they could have been better in the RZ.

Defensively, they were very good much to the chagrin of Packers' fans.  The Bears were 3-11 on 3rd down, averaged 4.2 yards per play (as compared to 7.2 for Green Bay), and 0-2 in the red zone.   Also, Chicago punted the ball 3 times as opposed to Green Bay punting the ball 0 times.  I guess the lone "bleak" spot was the lack of turnovers forced, but the Packers finished T-23rd in takeaways.

Thank you for your important contribution to this thread. I’m not a victim, as evidenced by the clapping back. If you read through this thread and didn’t see the basic moment of everyone vs NFZ, then you’re being disingenuous. So many people want to attack the poster instead of their points. You’re continuing to do so, for no good reason. 

Victim complex much?

I never said they played poorly. Saying they played great is a major stretch. Being able to punch the ball in for touchdowns is important. You’re saying they didn’t punt.. great.. but how many drives ended in 6? 17 points is absolutely not great offense.

It’s called calling out bs.. which I’ll do if I feel like. Thanks for your contribution to this thread’s topic. Continued high quality posting around here. 50% of this thread consists of various posters teaming up to make personal attacks, some of it because of personal history. But sure, it’s just a “victim complex” because I bother to respond to the nonsense lol..
One word: Salt

You're just moving the goal posts at that point. We'll see how they play tomorrow, I think they'll have a good plan.

It was the Bears. It was a ho-hum one score win. I never said it was a poor performance or anything - I’m simply saying it wasn’t great or worthy of saying the Packers are playing like they’re on fire. They punted 0 times, but didn’t put it in the endzone often.  Again, I’m not saying it was a poor performance worthy of a lot of criticism.. it simply wasn’t great or especially noteworthy. And again.. it was Chicago.

No? In what way did I move the goal posts from any other statement I made?
