Those are some bizarre stats for a team with a record like the Bears.

Bears might be "fired up" for this game, but in the same instance just 3 weeks ago Lovie Smith played his starters (with nothing to gain or lose for their team) to knock the Packers out of the playoffs. The Bears were scared that they might meet the Pack in the playoffs and they didn't want that.

Lovie's nightmare has come true, Packers should take this game and if they play anything like they did against the Falcons, it won't be pretty for the Bears.

How does an offense ranked 3rd worst get a 2nd seed in the playoffs? That's insane.

Hmm, with the comments on the rankings, I wonder if I have them wrong.

The Bears have to feel so good about themselves today, beating up on a 7-9 team and all.

8-9!
::lol:

And they do feel very important about what they have accomplished.
Their fans sure do.

Doesn't matter about the Seahawks......the Bears still had to beat them. Yes, i expected the Bears to beat them, but they still had to actually do it.
Now Lovie's nightmare has come......to have to play the Packers for a shot at the Super Bowl.
The ONLY thing that would have made it better would be if it was played here.
I saw on TV where ticketking had tickets in the endzone starting at $500.
Wish i could afford to go!
Like was said.....i hope Packer fans FILL the "mistake by the lake".
Did you hear the "KUHHHHN" and "GO PACK GO" chants on TV from the Atlanta game?

Problem is they acccomplished nothing :p, (however they believe they really did accomplish a lot) they just got pure luck to make it to the playoffs. A soft schedule, and a lot of games they won with pure luck. Tha ranking says it all. I hope CM III will get to cutler a lot on sunday.

Why shouldn't the Bears and their fans be proud? They won the division, earned a bye, and have now won a playoff game and advanced to the NFC championship game. It wasn't luck. They did it mostly with defense and special teams.

And lest we forget, remember that the Bear strengths match up well against GB's weaknesses (OL, special teams).

I still think it'll be a 31-3 blowout, tbough.

I've been saying it all year, the Bears are a good team and prior to week 17, I said they were better than us. Others argued, even though they had more games won and had beaten us.

I think right now the teams are about even. I'm hoping the best team wins and I feel the Packers edge the Bears.

If the Packers pressure Cutler often and rattle his cage I'm confident the Packers will win. I think our offense is able to find holes in the cover 2 and nullify the pressure with quick dump off screens or quick slant passes. I'm also interested in seeing how James Starks does.
