Packers 7 Bears 0-End of 1st Quarter

It looked early on that the Packers were going to run away and hide, and the Bears were doing their part to see that that happened.  Cutler overthrew a wide open Devin Hester on what could have been a touchdown on the drive that followed Green Bay's TD.  After the punt, the running game got going picking up yards in chunks with James Starks and John Kuhn.  Then, for some reason, Rodgers decided to take two shots to the end zone after reaching the Bears 40 yard line and overthrew Jennings and Nelson in succession.  The Packers had to punt.  Considering how easily the Packers were moving the ball, these play calls were somewhat questionable.  Right now, the Bears are pinned against the goal line, as the Packers have tilted the field in their favor.  Cutler JUST avoided a safety on 2nd down from the 2 on the first play of the second, and Forte was stopped for a loss on 3rd down as the Bears were just trying to give the punter some room.  Rodgers is getting the ball back with outstanding field position following this punt from the back of the end zone...in Bears' terrirory.
