no matter how good they look or how much momentum they have or whatever, every team should want to play the seahawks because they are the least talented team in the playoffs this isn't a slight to any seahawsk fan or any sort of shaking of my fist at the football gods because obviously its football and anyone can win on any day, but they are just not a very good team. so even if they do go on a mini run and take out the bears too, and they very likely can because the bears have a horrible offensive line, can turn the ball over, and just plain can lose a game to any team in the league, you still want to play them. but i do understand the desire to see a packers-bears superbowl just for the [expletive] spectacle of it all, because christ, the city would explode (and then instantly deflate when rodgers cuts us up for 400 yards)

Seems like that horseshoe is still wedged firmly up Lovie's butt, can't complain. Really no excuse to lose this one, even considering the early season loss, the offensive line is worlds better and with Briggs we wont be giving up 41 points like the Saints. I hope we see a repeat of the Minnesota games, but we'll probably see a repeat of the Lions games. I'll take it either way.

You never have to root for anyone. Just enjoy football. :) Its not like either outcome influences anything for your team in the short or long term. I used to be upset by the absurd amount of love Sanchez gets for being what is pretty much a below average quarterback, but now I kinda enjoy it as some absurd Kafkaesque nightmare world where nothing makes any sense, and Brett Favre plays for the next 20 years.

Yeah so do I. Their fans just look so [expletive] obnoxious at their stadium. Plus I despise Peyton Manning. This weekend is going well so far.

Well, this certainly has been something. Go Pack Go, go Pack Go, hey Chicago whattaya say...

if i see it right that was tracey porter, superbowl hero a year ago welp

matt hasselbeck coming downfield trying to throw a block 8-) (and kinda failing)

that was incredible football is such a good sport

Well this game has certainly been good for us. If the Packers win tomorrow I cannot wait to hear B&B and everyone on the Score talking about the horseshoe up Lovie's hiney.

Actually he kinda owns. I don't know if the NFL really replaced the 'football move' thing with anything specific but its certainly gone now. This has been discussed a while back. http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/fumble http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/forwardpass The Calvin Johnson play had nothing to do with making a football move or anything, it had to do with keeping control as he went to the ground, and even with that rule I still think it was miscalled.

Welp, heres the game. Keep em out of the end zone. Seahawks wont be coming from behind if the Saints score.

I see Seattle draws from the same script the Bears do. Them doing nothing on offense (even literally taking nothing off the clock!) is a patented Bears move. This isn't a rule anymore.

Its really unfortunate how much time is left in this game

I wish Drew Brees wasn't so good He's getting veeeeery close to taking so sacks or throwing it up for grabs

Hi, I have a delivery for you, Mr. Orleans Yes, just sign here for your momentum, Mr. S Hawk

This game RULES That was an astoudingly poor decision to go for it there and they very well might lose because of it This game is amazing as both a Bears fan and as a Seahawks supporter Don't get caught in that thinking. Whatever team we facewill have beaten someone so would have a mystique of "holy crap they're on a roll and have momentum!!!". They may very well beat us, but they are also the worst team in the playoffs and would be a great blessing to face again.

That's pretty impressive. That said, I hope they lose by 8 points or more. Think bigger picture, we could play the Seahawks again, lets not pass up this opportunity

Go Seahawks, go Packers

Getting Greinke probably would have required a few tweaks to increase the quality, but nothing so substantial as to completely overhaul the deal. What pisses me off is that I think this is also the kind of package that could have netted Adrian Gonzalez. Maybe the Padres wanted the Red Sox prospects, I don't know. But, when you compare that package to what the Cubs gave up, again, I think a minor change or two to the Cubs' prospects to increase the overall quality would have been comparable to what the Red Sox traded for Gonzalez. Also, why do people think the NL Central will be weak this year? As far as I can tell, the Reds, Cardinals, and Brewers will all roughly be the same as or better than last year, while the Pirates (yeah, yeah) should start seeing dividends from bolstering their farm system. I get the feeling that this will be a difficult division to win, even with a good team. No use bringing up Greinke and Gonzalez because the Cubs don't have the money for their contracts. The big reason for this deal is that Garza has had success, is still young, and is controlled for the next 3 years. If we can't sign Greinke or Gonzalez to club friendly deals after this year when a lot of money comes off, then we shouldn't bother trying to win long term anyway. This also makes all the meatheads talking about us going after Pujols next year all the funnier

he always struck me more as a mobster type

heres the big question: could we have had Greinke with the same haul? if we could, then Hendry made a damn big mistake

the worst thing about the Angelo press conference was when he said he has no interest in retiring after the season

well, guess we're just going to be on a 3 game losing streak after tomorrow, so it goes the last two games have made me far more furious than what really are 2 meaningless games, but got damn

Go Seattle and Green Bay (I don't want Green Bay to win but this is how we get to play Seattle in the first round)

I can grow a better beard than Jay Cutler I rule btw I like the idea of playoff beards in other sports but it doesn't really work in football because of how short it is...now basketball...we already have to deal with Joakim's horrible beard in the NBA...but months of no shaving?
