So you think the Bears layed down in that last game huh? Couple questions for you? Cutler got sacked 6 times in that game. If the Bears layed down in that game, why did Lovie allow that to happen?
And second, who exactly do you think the Bears are? 
You think they can play half assed and hang with one of the best teams in the league? And the Packers ARE one of the best teams in the league. There is no doubt about that. There is no way they stay within 7 points of the Packers in that last game if they aren't trying.
And even if the Bears weren't trying ,which is complete nonsense, you're proving my point that the Packers learned from that game that they can't take the Bears lightly. And from the first game between these two teams. The Packers are in a position right now where they might be overconfident after destroying Atlanta. But those two games with the Bears will keep them grounded in my opinion.
Hound,
Why did Lovie allow it to happen?
These guys in the NFL are smarter than they let off. Let me just lay this out there, If I was a coach, and I knew that the seeding would potentially have u playing the Pack, for the third time, a team you have played twice already, why wouldnt you want to play them again. There is a lot of familiarity with the Pack, and that cannot be understated. If Chicago goes Vanilla (thus causing Cutler to get sacked 6 times), GB gains no intel out of this match-up. Chicago got to see everything GB had, because THEY HAD to put it all out there. Now, with that being said, IF I WAS the coach, for starters I would want to see GB in the playoffs more than the NYG of BUCS because both have punishing run games with good defense. GB has a good pass game with good defense (im still not sold on this so called rushing attack), but the pass is easier for CHI to defend in this case (ie Peppers) so why even bother by not allowing GB into the playoffs.
Who are the Bears?
Since when did GB become one of the better teams in the league. They had the same record as the BUCS and both teams lost to Detroit. To me, without Grant and Finley, GB is a second tier NFL team. Rodgers is a hell of a good QB, but damn man, he cant do it by himself. Every good QB needs a good TE, and GB is missing theirs this year. The Bears have a better pass rush, (I think the corners are equal for both teams) but CHI has a far superior LB corps than any other team in the league, including GB. (Matthews is good, but even he still has a lot to learn other than that quick inside spin move he uses to penetrate)
The LB corps would be why GB struggles against CHI. Its diffcult to run the ball on them, forcing you to pass. Trust me, Rodgers will eats man coverage up, but in Cover 2 he struggles, Check the stats. (even go to last year (Bucs game??)) The ATL game was a fluke and ATL was not a team I personally felt was a one seed. ATL had a terrible defense and they stayed in the game until the second half. Matt Ryan is not a great QB. He is just like Flacco, check down or roddy White. Thats easy to defend. Forte brings size and speed to the table. Turner is one dimensional, Forte can catch out the backfield and take it all the way.
The Bears will be able to control the clock better than GB also.
Im tired of typing, but I have more.
I do believe that the favorites on Sunday will go down. The red flag that was raised in my eyes was the fact that the Packers were 3 point favorites early sunday night by linesmakers. Chicago has one less loss than GB, they split the season series, and the Bears are at home. Why would Chicago be 3 point dogs at home. Just reading the line, I feel the linesmakers expect the Pack to win. Back on 12/19 Pitt started off as 6 point favories vs NYJ but the line dipped down to 4 with out Troy P playing. Now Pitt is at home again and Troy is playing, why is the only -3.5? I was expecting 4.5 at least. Are the linesmakers overreacting to NY beating New England or are they expecting NY to keep the game close?
. Now that the line is 3.5 some money will be on Chicago. To me I dont believe that linesmakers want even action thats just my opinion. If you had the chance to make 5 million or just 500,000 which one would you prefer?

Bears win this baby.
No way Green Bay going to replicate the Giants Superbowl run. I bet on Green Bay in the first 2 Playoff games but that was coz Philly were banged up and I didn't think Ryan Ice would get it done as he is too inexperienced a QB in Playoffs.
Also - Green Bay ran them close the other game and the blow out happened to Atlanta just because the game didn't go their way and they made alotta dumbass mistakes on defense.
Bears won't make mistakes and are not banged up.
Bye Bye Green Bay

"No Way"
Well than you should feel the same way about Cutler because he's played one playoff game in his life and it was last week.
