A very long offseason began for the Packers on Sunday. Green Bay seemed on the verge of blowing out the Bears in Chicago on Saturday night in an NFC wild-card clash, but suffered a stunning second-half collapse to be eliminated from the playoffs. It’s the sort of loss that will keep everyone on the roster up at night for a while; the Packers held a 21-3 lead at one point but couldn’t execute down the stretch.
It’s a very painful way to end a season and one Packers player was pretty salty about it afterwards. Safety Javon Bullard, who finished the game with two tackles, spoke to the media after the loss and bluntly stated the Bears didn’t win the game so much as the Packers lost it. He said they were “whooping” Chicago for most of the night but couldn’t finish the job, repeating multiple times that the Bears didn’t do anything special in pulling off the win.
