They say playing a team 3 times in a season is difficult. The PACKERS and BEARS played for the 3rd time this season when the BEARS actually had a chance to knock the out of the PLAYOFFS in the last week of the SEASON. And to the BEARS credit they played the PACK straight up in that game and lost 10-3 at the end.

The Game Sunday was for the right to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl in DALLAS TEXAS in February. Looking at the GAME it was forecast to be a Defensive struggle and both Defenses didn't disappoint.

The PACK moved down on their first drive to put 7 up and then later in the 2nd Qtr put another 7 up to go up 14-0. The BEARS Defense was holding up pretty good considering they were losing the Field Position Battle the whole 1st half.

Speaking of the 1st half the game took a strange twist at the end of the 2nd qtr as BEARS QB Jay CUTLER was being escorted off the field by Team Doctors and trainers. It didn't look like much but when the 2nd half started in cam 2nd string QB Todd COLLINS who has been in the league for about 16 plus years.

As everyone watching this strange occurrence take place the question was this......WHAT HAPPENED TO #6 JAY CUTLER?.....AND WHY IS HE NOT PLAYING. It's though he looked fine as they showed him on the Bench which would be later called a Knee Injury and his return is Doubtful.....WTF......in the biggest game of the year you can't take a shot, get it taped, or just look yourself in the mirror and say," MY TEAM NEEDS ME I NEED TO GET THE 2ND HALF CRACK A LACKIN'". But #6 folded like a LAWN Chair and was thrown into the GARAGE.

To the BEARS Credit and to Back up QB #12 HEINE, the BEARS made it a game and had a Chance to tie late but the PACKERS and their Defense made the necessary play to stop the BEARS and move onto the Super BOWL as NFC CHAMPS.

Hats off to Mike McCARTHY and his Defensive Guru Dom CAPERS and his 3-4 style D that has had all the TEAMS in the Playoffs at a disadvantage. Capers mix and matches with all kinds of looks and blitzes to the point VICK, RYAN, and BEARS QB'S never felt comfortable and took these TEAMS out of what they like to do OFFENSIVELY.

Looking at the MATCHUP in the SUPER BOWL vs the STEELERS who are the ORIGINAL 3-4 Style ZONE BLITZ Team..........it should be interesting since both of the QB'S go up against this style everyday in practice.

To all the CHEESE HEADS in WISCONSIN and the Continental US.......GO PACK...you deserve this one...winning all 3 games in the PLAYOFFS on the ROAD. Now onto JERRY'S HOUSE in ARLINGTON TEXAS.
