Carrying through to the bitter end. Gonna be first time since 2006 Bears are in playoffs and Packers aren't.

Let's go Bears and Eagles!

How a Packer fan can possibly stoop so low as to root for the Bears is beyond me. Saints and Rams are destined to meet in NFCCG. AFC will be a little more interesting: Steelers could be a tough out if they make it, New England is poised to get knocked off in first round. Chefs are probably the most talented team, but none of them exactly strike fear in the heart.

Never root for the Bears. Maybe suffer them to win for the greater good of the Packers from time to time, but root for them? NEVER!!

Mostly agree with your assessment, but unfortunately, the Bears defense may be too much for Rams and Saints. Fortunately, the Saints will play them at home. I think the way the Saints are playing right now, I'd pick the Bears if the game were in Chicago.

I will take the Bears over the Queens any day

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I don’t give a fuck.

[ThunderDan]

I don’t give a fuck.

And yet apparently, you give enough fucks to post about it.

They looked good at home against the Rams but they've been hit and miss on the road. And, aside from the Rams and Vikings, they haven't beaten anyone resembling a playoff team. We'll see how they do in Meenie Soh Tah this weekend. For the time being, I see them as a reincarnation of the 2006 and '10 teams. But then again, they seem for the moment to have eliminated the automated self-destruct tendency at QB, so who knows. I am crossing my fingers and hoping Trubitsky throws five picks this weekend.

Agreed. In fact, even though Packers have Saints 1st round pick, I want the Saints to win the Divisional Round playoff game they will host. Reason is, Saints getting upset there would increase the chances of the Bears making it to the Superb Owl. Saints at home are the firewall against the Bears making it.

I"m the opposite

I don't give a rats ass about this year anymore. GB shit on themselves this season and little was gained.

I"ll take a Saints loss right off the bat to get a better pick.
