Ah, but it is the rivalry in the NFL. As far as I am concerned, next week's playoff games are more exciting than the Superbowl will likely be. At least as a Chicago-native. I'm pretty pumped. And like I said, at the end of the day it is a win-win because the Packers are one of the most exciting teams this year, and it would be fun to see Rodgers go to the Championship. At the same time, I can always get behind my home team going to the Superbowl (even though I maintain the Bears are still in over their head. ).

I am for whoever wins the Bears/Packers matchup to win the superbowl.

I would really hate to see the Steelers or the Jets win.

I really hope that the Packers beat the Steelers. I'm so sick of those stupid terrile towels.

Not that it makes that huge of a difference, but you need to add 17 to my score, I should have 53.

I read a report that David Akers is apparently going through some personal family matters that may have contributed to his two missed field goals last night. Kind of a sad way to end his career if that was his last game with the Eagles.

Yeah, read about that too. I was kind of shocked to hear him say "not how I wanted to end my career with Philadelphia" in his news conference. I don't think anyone on the Eagles or the fan base wants him gone. One bad game doesn't make a career, especially if he was battling a personal issue (although that shouldn't be an excuse.) He should have put six more points on the board yesterday, but he's still probably the most consistent kicker in Eagles history.

Oh, and I'm just glad my dad, a diehard Packers fan who went to the game yesterday, didn't rub it in too much. Although it was probably fun being in that stadium yesterday as the enemy. Looking forward to another season with Andy "I've got to do a better job" Reid!

One of those field goals he was totally within his rights to miss. It was 50+ yards in terrible wind.

It was actually only 41, but yeah, the wind was bad. He had the distance on that one, but just pushed it too much. I don't blame him for that one as much, but it would have been nice to start that game up 3-0.

[Vampyr]

The Packers are doing it again.

I'm not sure, but I think Jay Cutler wishes he was lying in bed right now. He doesn't have the look of a winner.

EDIT: Wow, I posted this before Cutler decided to sit down with a tweaked knee.

I can see the forest through the trees.
