Rodgers for the most part had the Bears with his passing game, though once it got closer and in the Red-Zone the Bears got tougher. What really beat the Packers were the Packers. Sixteen penalties if I'm not mistaken. All those penalties would either crumble their offensive drive or extend the Bears offensive set. There were too many "false-starts", a few holdings, and a few personal fouls. They played sloppy, but with all those short-comings they kept the game close and were in the lead for most of the game. They need to find a RB, though with screens and short passes they could supplement that. Most importantly clean up their play; they had 8 penalties in the first two games and had double that in 1 game. Analysts will say that too many turn-overs will kill a team, well too many penalties will do the same.
