WTF

You make damn good arguments Gunk.

Why would the Packers agree, makes no sense. But what are they going to do, argue about it?

The Bears were the host, Packers were guests so they didn't make a fuss.

It's The Ultimate Pussy Move by the Bears orginization and we should never let them forget it.

Ever.

I noticed it too. Didn't think much of it, thought it was because it wasn't their field. But now that you mention it this way, yeah, that's bull shit. The Packers earned the right to celebrate that trophy and the Bears earned the right to have to watch it.

Really disappointed they pulled that BS in Chicago! Didn't really sink in until I saw the Steelers celebrating on the field with their fans being able to witness it. I feel bad for the Packer fans that were at the game and couldn't do that when they received the trophy. Really, really low class!! I hope there are enough complaints about this that it will never happen again.

It won't happen again. Bears used up about a decade's worth of luck this year. It'll be a long time before they host another NFC Title Game.

I don't know what to make of the Bears. Playing the Packers, they seem more than qualified to make the playoffs. But several games made them look like a 500 team.

Lovie improved his coaching staff (definitely with Tice and probably with Marinelli) and found a way to work with Martz. Martz installed a big boy offense and then was able (or was forced) to change the offense to work with the talent on hand. His stock probably rises overall, though Martz probably gets dinged for the start of the season and the insistence on having Collins on the roster. (Dan Patrick has a Chicago Comcast reporter indicating Martz's desire for a vet brought in Collins and Hanie's injury landed him number 2 on the depth chart).

I think if Chicago is smart they keep it together. Even if Martz gets a shot somewhere (or wants to run a truer version of his offense with a different QB), Lovie should be smart enough to keep a proven pass system for Cutler plus the run game rather than the strange collection of systems he tried before.
