What a game!

I was a little upset Derrick Ward wasn't allowed to punch it in for the win, but I guess its something you have to take in stride. Eli played efficiently, but he looked jittery during that first possession in OT. The defense wasn't stellar tonight, but the secondary stepped up massively in the 2nd half, especially by not letting Steve Smith sniff the ball.

This was a great test run for what they'll need to do in the postseason, and if Plax is back, then everything should run a bit smoother.

The playoffs should be great if the best match-ups shape up.

Carolina should have won that game, but it's all good. Leaves the door open for the Falcons to get that 2 seed. Let's geaux Saints!

They played real vanilla on both sides of the ball and still had the game winning FG attempt. I love it when the Panthers lose, though.

Ryan Grant just mowed the mess out of that Bears defender. (I forgot who he was)

Ugh...Packers special teams=nightmare

Mike Stock needs to get fix this ****, has happened repeatedly this season. Momentum killers.

And god do I dislike Jarret Bush, though I can't really blame him for that one play, just really really bad luck.

Fire Bob Sanders, possibly Mike Stock (punting, kick/punt coverage has been absolutely abysmal)

How many leads has the Packers defense choked this year?

A game the Packers completely dominated and will lose.

Two missed field goals, ***** Jarret Bush hands a TD to the Bears.

Packers are the definition of unclutch.

I wouldn't be surprised if they lost to the Lions

This is what you call karma.

Bears had a game taken away from them against TB earlier this year. Should've won that one, but lost. Should've lost this one, but won.

It all works out quite nicely.

Are you serious?

If anything this game should've been karma for the 4-5 games the Packers "should've" won.

Put Superbowl teams win in the clutch, and the Packers have been anything but clutch.

Well... 9-6... more wins than the 2-3 many projected, and 5-6 wins turned out to not be a generous prediction.

I think only in terms of how things affect the Bears. Everything else is pish-posh and is thus dismissed as irrelevant.
