The Bears lost a game. They lost ground in the NFC North. They may have lost some key players. They lost their officiating challenges. And they lost an air of confidence, if not a slice of hope.
Other than that, the Bears' 21-15 loss to the Packers was a perfect way to start the season for the visitors.
The Packers won it with two plays in the fourth quarter. One exposed the vulnerability in the Bears' secondary. The other exposed the danger of an overconfident quarterback.
Trailing 15-13, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers hit Greg Jennings on a 50-yard touchdown pass with 1 minute 11 seconds remaining. Bears safety Al Afalava bit on play action on the play, and Jennings streaked by Nathan Vasher.
hen on the Bears' first play on their next possession, Packers cornerback Al Harris intercepted Jay Cutler. Harris brought it back 29 yards to seal the victory.
By that time, the Bears were playing without four injured starters. First one down was linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa, who left the game on the first series with a knee injury. Before the first half was history, Brian Urlacher was. He dislocated his right wrist and is likely to have surgery early this week. Continue
Players need to be rough and tough to stay in with the competitive world.
