Is this what it's like to play AGAINST the Bears?

That is the note I wrote down after Jay's second INT. All these turnovers and a defensive score on top of a special teams score sure are tough to overcome. And yet, somehow we did. This offense is so much fun to watch. The scary part is that it's still a new offense being learned. The potential here is very exciting.

On the other side of the ball, you have to love the job we did against A.P. today. But what happened to the pass rush? Corey Wootton spent some time in the backfield early, but Minnesota consistently had a clean pocket as the game went on. Have to hope that we can get more pressure moving forward.

Other notes I jotted down during the game included:

"Bushrod makes me nervous sometimes". You too?

"Hester has lost a little speed, but DAMN he looks good again!!"

"LOVE the move on 2nd and 2 from the 3 yard line to spread the field and then run up the gut. If Bush is in for that play, he scores." I'm as big a fan of Matt Forte as anyone, but he is clearly an inferior short yardage back and I hope we utilize Bush more in these situations.

On the very next play... "LOVE the call on 1st and goal to throw out of a big, bunched set. That's an easy TD if Jay puts some air under that pass."

"Tim Jennings has been a STUD ever since he was benched in week 16 of 2011 for dropping 2 potential INT's the week before". I HATED the move to bench him at the time (it directly helped contribute to a torching by Aaron Rodgers), but I'm loving the results now. Thanks Lovie. Truly a great move.

The personnel breakdown looks similar to last week. Here it is:

As you can see, we're still about 2:1 passing out of 11 personnel and 4:1 passing out of 12 personnel. Almost identical to last week, we ran the ball at a 3:2 ratio out of 21 personnel this week. We'll likely stop charting these week by week, especially if they remain similar, and will instead begin to focus on 4-week averages, since that is what NFL teams focus on as well. Be assured, though, that if anything out of the ordinary happens, we'll be sure to discuss the strategy of those moves here.
