I hate to be on the other side of you 2 guys and feel as strongly as I do about it as I have GB as my top play. Living in Chicago, one thing I am priviliged to is reading the local papers, listening to the talk radio shows, and seeing local news. One thing to not underestimate this week is fact FB Mckie will not play. Does not seem big but Mckie is one of the top 3 blocking fb's football and is very underappreciated. Packers have actually been very good defensively of late (better than the Bears) and feel this is a huge loss in blocking for running game as well as picking up blitzes. If Benson gets the majority of the snaps this game which I believe he will, Grossman and Griese will have issues having enough time to throw as the biggest knock and reason Benson has not played except in obvious plays he was going to get the ball is his inability to pick up the blitzes. GB has the DE's already in Kampman and KGB to put pressure on but when you have outstanding fast lb's like Hodge, Hawk, and Barnett, they will be able to put some severe pressure on the quarterback in blitzing situations and have the db's to play the man to man in Woodson and Harris to make the big plays though Woodson may not play. Chicago's has played progressively worse since STL vs TB and Detroit and the fact that many of you don't realize is how banged up they are and can't risk injury here. They are down to 3rd and 4th safeties, 3rd and 4th interior lineman, and backup fb. Believe me when I say they have absolutely nothing to play for besides pride in beating GB again. Lovie made this a priority when he got to Chicago and has done a nice job winning 3 straight but believe me when I say starters will go no longer than a half regardless of score and no one of importance will be in their in 4th. This game will be played like a preseason game on their side plain and simple. Game change will not affect game. Question that needs to be asked is assuming GB already eliminated from playoffs, who has more motivation to play? The answer is still GB. They have lost 3 in a row in series and would like to break it, and have chance to have .500 season. Packers have no need to rest starters and will play all out. Don't forget boys Favre has only lost one time ever in Chicago as the starting qb for GB and that was ly. Anyway best of luck with whatever you decide to do. Quick note also. People have mentioned how Bears have not lost in NFC this year. Seattle had not lost in NFC ly going to GB and lost so not an angle I am buying. BOL
