I think both games could go either way. I'm picking the Packers to beat the Bears, that much I can convince myself to do. I want to pick the Jets in the other game, but I don't think they can go into Pittsburgh and win there twice within 6 weeks. If the Jets are to win, they'll need Brad Smith to play and make a big play or two on special teams. With a tender groin if he can go, I don't know if he'll be able to.

Well the Packers offence looks pretty impressive on these first 4 plays. Make it 5, Aaron Rogers you are rediculous.

Erick Estrada · 01-23-2011, 01:11 PM

Boy is Rogers ever on fire. That was a ridiculously easy TD drive.

If no one has mentioned it in the last five seconds, those CTV promos with dudes in moto-cross gear carrying a football are sooooooooo annoying.

All Canadian commercials are annoying.

Lookout..another 3 and out and Cutler's going to start going cowboy and this game will be over early.

He got an early TD last weekend to get some confidence, and was extremely lucky his brain fart on the goal line on drive 2 didn't get picked off, let alone go 100 yards the other way. Had that happened, it would've been a dog fight with him likely fighting the urge to throw and force passes in the rest of the game, and doubting himself.

But he knew he got away with that, and on his 4th drive, when he got sacked, fumbled, but got the ball back, I think he figured he had everything going his way. But it took that long last weekend to get that complete confidence, even though they had no problem moving the ball in the first half and had a 3 TD lead.

He doesn't even have a first down yet, and looks to be going down by 2 TD already.

14-0 Packers, nice! Keep it up.

Hard to figure the wildly inconsistent Cutler out. "Going cowboy" is a great description of what happens when he jumps off the tracks.

Wow, some of Cutler's throws have been just awful.

Erick Estrada · 01-23-2011, 02:02 PM

A touchback makes punting look like a really poor call there when you are in long but makable field goal position.

Flickered Flame · 01-23-2011, 02:03 PM

If GB scores here, the game is likely over already. Bears just not good enough to beat the Pack. Packers should not have been a 6th seed. They are very, very good.

Flabbibulin · 01-23-2011, 02:06 PM

wow, the coverage was embarrassingly bad on that run by Rodgers

browna · 01-23-2011, 02:07 PM

OT: Forgot about the Blackeyed Peas...has to be the first act that will have played the Grey Cup and Superbowl halftime shows. Unless BTO played back in the 70's (did they even half halftime acts in the Superbowl back then)?

They did, but usually not major recording artists. Think along the lines of "Up With People"

Unlucky interception..darn.

Beerfest · 01-23-2011, 02:24 PM

But then the Packers get one!
Nice.

2 bad throws by Rodgers on that possession.

...and disaster is avoided.

Erick Estrada · 01-23-2011, 02:24 PM

Bailed out by the defense there as that was a pathetic effort by Driver as he didn't put any effort into catching the ball.

browna · 01-23-2011, 02:25 PM

There's Cutler trying too much...get a FG and some points out of the gift of an INT two plays previous and go into the half with some momentum...instead it (looks to be) a Cutler INT.

Flabbibulin · 01-23-2011, 02:25 PM

shoot, that INT might be overruled...
