Ferdinand from Woodbury, MN

Has Aaron seen "Queen's Gambit"? Watching Beth Harmon visualize the chess board on the ceiling, I think I have a greater understanding of how Rodgers "sees" the opposing defense and a play unfolding.

He said on Pat McAfee's show last week he hasn't seen it yet. I wish he would. I think he'd love it. And I'm with you on the parallels between how Rodgers sees the field and Beth visualized the chess board.

This is not a chortle, I promise. I was wondering what Trubisky's TD/INT ratio against GB for his career is. It seems to me that he may have thrown more interceptions than touchdowns against us, is that right?

Trubisky has thrown seven touchdowns and five interceptions in six games against the Packers, completing 59.9% of his passes for 1,507 yards and a 79.0 passer rating.

Glowing comments about the Packers demolishing the Bears. But if it weren't for a few mishaps by Trubisky, the game would have been very close. In the fourth quarter, the Packers' pass defense was extremely soft. The Bears made one pass after another and got first downs each time. If others don't see it this way, what am I missing?

LaFleur mentioned Monday afternoon how it's a balance of defending ground and shielding yourself from a big play to allow the opponent back in the game. The bad news? The Bears converted a pair of 13-plus play drives that produced touchdowns. The good news? Chicago had to work for its yards, eating seven minutes off the clock. Green Bay would've loved a fourth takeaway with a Kevin King end-zone INT or a stop on fourth-and-11, but the name of the game is draining the clock and winning the game. The Packers did that.

With the Bears getting two TDs in "garbage" time at what point do you want your prevent defense to actually prevent the other team from scoring? Lombardi would never stand for that type of performance.

"Prevent" defense doesn't mean prevent the opposing team from scoring. It means "prevent" an explosive play.

Adam from Phoenix, AZ

Good morning Insiders. Like you, it drives me crazy when fans get so riled up about "letting teams run up the score" at the end of a game the Packers have dominated. These people are not fans of football, they are merely fans of chortling. If the final score doesn't "look" as lopsided as the game was, somehow that is a loss to these people. I feel sorry for them.

Focus on what matters. That's it. If you want to talk about David Montgomery breaking that 57-yard run on the second play and what the Packers need to do to fix that? Totally understandable. That was a huge play. Or even the yards per play Green Bay allowed through the first 45 minutes of the game? Fine. But lamenting the fourth quarter is wasted energy.

Mike from Fort Wayne, IN

When a credentialed reporter said he won't know about a certain play or aspect of the game until he views the "coaches' tape," what is on the tape that is different than fans watching it on TV?

The reporter is referring to the All-22 film that is posted on NFL Game Pass on Wednesday. It's an aerial shot of the field, so you have a better vantage point of what the safeties are doing.

Dale from Lima, NY

Kevin Patra began an article he wrote this morning this way: "The Chicago Bears entered Sunday night hanging their hat on defense, owning the ability to shut down opponents with relative ease, giving their offense at least a chance to win games. Aaron Rodgers took that hat, ripped it to shreds, stomped on it and tossed it in a dumpster of flames." Which gives you more satisfaction? The fact that it's true? Or the memorable writing?

The fact the Packers saw something on tape that they felt they could exploit with balancing a steady ground-and-pound running attack with empty formations. The Bears tout a top 10 defense with playmakers who can change the complexion of a game in an instant. The Packers imposed their will on Chicago, while Rodgers was not hit a single time. I have to go back and look when was the last time that happened. It must be very long ago.

Mark from Charlotte, VT

Terrific outing Sunday night. Curious about one thing though...with five minutes or so to go and the game clearly in hand, any reason why they would leave 12 in? Why not protect him and give others same game experience?

LaFleur touched on this Monday. The Packers wanted to get Boyle in there but it also was a two-score game after the Bears' successful two-point attempt. If the Packers stop them there, I'm guessing Tim Boyle comes in with 3:20 remaining in a 41-24 game.
