I'm going wit the Bears. Both times these two teams played both were good games. Yes the Packers are on a roll but winning 3 games on the road in the Playoffs is not a easy thing to do.

I think the Packers win but I'm pulling for the Bears. Why? Should the Steelers win the AFC title game......I'd rather face Cutler than Rodgers. Hester scares me to death and Julius Peppers is a beast but I like their chances better against the Bears. I am a fan of Aaron Rodgers but not next weekend.

To be the best, you have to beat the best. Are you afraid of GB?

No, Ric Flair.....I'm not afraid of Green Bay. I just want to play the team that I think the Steelers match up with better. And according to seeding, the Bears are the "best."september63;640824 wrote:To be the best, you have to beat the best. Are you afraid of GB?

It's crazy that these teams haven't met in the playoffs since the 40s.

Packers are a dangerous team right now. I dont think there is a qb in the playoffs playing better than Rodgers right now, I cant seem them losing if he gets time to throw

Bears had their chance of knocking Green Bay from the playoffs....oh well
Green Bay 31
Bears 16
......though I feel if Pittsburgh is to make the SB their fortune would be to play the Bears.....so I won't feel good about the Steelers if the Packers win.......will be the Farve Bowl.....with sister Brandi hosting the postgame party

Packers are now favored to win it all. Odds have them meeting the Steelers.

that would be a great matchup...remember the last matchup of those 2 teams....Roethlisberger threw for 500+ yards and won the game on an outstanding last second pass barely ikn the endzone....one of the more exciting games I can remember

They split during the season with the Bears winning by 3 early at home, and Green Bay winning by just 7 in the last game - a pretty narrow victory when you figure it was a must win for GB and wasn't for Chi. Remember, one hit and a concussion makes GB Rogers-less!

Yep. December of '09 at Heinz Field. Mike Wallace made that outstanding catch. Perfect pass too.Ironman92;640880 wrote:that would be a great matchup...remember the last matchup of those 2 teams....Roethlisberger threw for 500+ yards and won the game on an outstanding last second pass barely ikn the endzone....one of the more exciting games I can remember

Everyone is calling for a blowout. Remember, GB needed to win the last game of the season to get into the playoffs & the Bears had already locked up the #2. GB only won by 7 at home. This game will be close, I can't wait for next weekend.

I think I'd rather the Packers win.
That way a road team will have already won and one No. 6 seed will be in.
Seems like the odds would increase for the Steelers to win at home.

We're gonna hear a lot about that game in the coming week, but I have two responses:
1) The Bears played their starters the whole game. It wasn't like they laid down their arms and let Green Bay win. They did NOT want GB in the playoffs, and for good reason.
2) The Bears eek'd out a win over the Pack early in the year due in large part to the Packers inexplicable penalty woes that night - 18 penalties, a team record. Since then, the Packers have really tightened up the ship, finishing 3rd in the league with just 78 penalties called (which is amazing, because nearly 25% of their penalties came in that one game).
I expect a good game this weekend, but pointing to the results of the first two games as a case for the Bears may, in this case, be a bit misleading for what will happen on Sunday.

I hate Jay Cutler, I'm hoping GB puts a whoopin on him.

The Jets have lost to both teams already (because the Jets suck and can't beat good teams) but I think they would fare better against the Bears should they make the Super Bowl. I'm a big fan of Aaron Rodgers but I want nothing to do with him in the Super Bowl.
