Yep, I don't disagree, with the exception that I think we have an excellent chance to beat the Falcons in the dome. The Saints D held them pretty tight, and I am not sold on the dirty birds being more than an also ran at this point. I think that IF the PAckers beat Philly, and they can, they may beat the Falcons.

Me personally, I do not want to face them again. They are a good team and they know more about us than the Falcons do. I would MUCH rather face them in the dome with our FAST D and WR's, than the Puke in Soldier field, where the weather can beat us as much as the pack can.

I will take either though. I am rooting for the Packers to beat Philly and the lowly sea hags to beat the Saints, so we can play the Sea hags and get revenge on them. After that, here or there, bring on the NFCCG!!

That was terrible, and really a big missed call in the game (and surprising because it was obvious) because the Bears kicked a FG on that drive. The Packers secondary holds more then any NFL team by far, Woodsen is always grabbing downfield.

2. Martz going 70/30 after 50/50 for the last 6 weeks, was baffling, BUT if he ever needed Proof 70/30 doesn't work he sure got it yesterday!.. expect the 50/50 balance back for playoffs

3. Seemed to try way to hard to target knox and get him his 1,000- and packers sat on him all day , in the playoff's will not be doing this or any milestone to hit

4. Forte another solid beastly game- he's playoff ready

Forte has been really good this year, I've been really impressed with him. He tore up GB yesterday, I really think they just didn't want to give him 30 carries heading into the playoffs, because GB couldn't stop the run.

Good points. We are not going to fool Rodgers and if our DL can't get traction/speed because of the field conditions, then he will have no trouble moving the ball.

Abraham scares me from ATL. Don't like our match up at all on him. I can't remember is he switches ends like Peppers but neither OMG or Webb can compete 1-on-1.

think that we went to GB in a game with nothing at stake- and everything for packers and its 3-0 at 1/2 time, makes me very comfortable IN SOLDIER and no crowd noise for o-line calls, we do win( Cutler and kreutz admitted the crowd noise ddi affect some of the calls).

What's interesting is the "D" wanting the Field turf stuff- and think something to it- Don't think its a coincidence they talked about it all week, and hopefully will be pressure in the offseason for the city to change... but think "if" have to go to the Dome , its not a big deal for this team and esp the "D'
