Gotta score more than 16 if you expect to win.

It's Bears vs Packers pt 3. I don't see a playoff win with this defense and the Bears being a no-show for the first 3 quarters every other game but funnier things have happened.

The offense has to be better, too. If you told me the defense was going to allow 16-19 points to every single playoff opponent they face, I’d take that in a heartbeat.

Back to back loses might not be such a terrible thing. Both losses were very close. They know they’ve got some things to clean up, and hopefully come out with a chip on their shoulder.

I'm not Jimmy The Greek, nor do I play him in the Illini game thread, but I am betting on the Packer. The Bears have been outplayed in almost all 8 quarters of football against the Packer this year.

Maybe if the Bears don’t play dead for three quarters they might have a shot.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the Bears win. Also wouldn’t surprise me if they didn’t.

In all seriousness though, I’m going to believe that Ben Johnson can get them ready. The Packers aren’t exactly entering the playoffs with great mojo, either.

I on the other hand, am not betting on either.

If we are honest, he hasn't had them ready to start about half the games.

I'll leave asking if you will watch the whole game to Judge Judy

I plan on watching the entire game. I was awakened Sunday to find out that my son hadn’t been fed yet (it was 3:00), and then got roped into going to the sisters-in laws house. But I did see  most of the 2nd half and some of the 1st half. I’m not moving from the tv this Saturday night. And my kid will be fed by game time.

Take your ex to court and get full custody for not feeding your child…

True, but he’s done a good job of getting them refocused when things were going sideways. They’ve had two four game winning streaks this year. Hopefully this is the start of number three.

Do what the Ravens did a few weeks ago.  Plan to run the ball over and over until the Packers can stop it...or not.
