Sure, that would be sweet. Not as sweet as knocking them out of the playoffs, IMO. My hate runs deep, lol.
And knocked out is knocked out... but by the pack, that stings much more for me.

You would still be knocking them out of the playoffs, just 3 weeks later.

If we beat them, they don't make the playoffs at all. Football is over for them and there fans. Much more gratifying for a guy like me.

I want the Bears going into this game like they have to win this one to go into the playoffs. Leave nothing on the field and crush the Packers.

If we beat them, and both the Giants and Tampa lose (entirly possible), they still get the 6th seed. Now I want to sweep them. I want to win the game on Sunday. But if Cutler starts taking cheap hits, I want to see Hanie beat them.

It's the Packer game for cripes sake. You don't lay down and play dead with the likes of Collins playing QB and Chester Taylor as your starting running back! Go att'em with everything we've got and sweep the division I say. We need that feather in our caps going into the playoffs.
If we can beat whoever we get as a first game opponent then I think we can beat Atlanta even in their house. Our team speed will give them trouble and weather won't be a factor like it could be in Chicago. I like our chances a lot better now than I did a few weeks ago!

I can dig it. I don't want anyone to get injured so if we see Jay getting killed or someone limping off the field, I do want to be competitive to the point of being stupid. But yeah, I salivate at the thought of a sweep.

Well there you go. We have little to play for, while they HAVE to treat this as a playoff game, because even if Tampa loses the early gasme, the Giants and Cowboys will be playing at the same time.
They basicly have 4 straight playoff games, the last 3 on the road, before they could possibly play us again. That why I take issue with the whole idea of, if we don't beat them now, they might beat us later. Outside of the Rams, they would be the best team for us to face in the championship game.

Except Collins is #2 and that would be just gawd awful. Still makes no sense that A) Collins is even on the team B) he's #2 on the depth chart.
