Last game of the regular season. The Bears already have the first pick in the draft wrapped up, and to knock the Packers out of the playoffs would be a bonus. If the Pack prevails, they'll be one of the bottom feeders in the playoffs. The Packers are an early 3-point favorite, and that's not much. Gametime, 3:25 on CBS.
Thoughts?​

The Packers looked great last night. The defense came to play and maybe saved Joe Barrys job....for now. Other than the one blown punt/fumble and a few cheesy penalties, they pretty much played perfect football. Love looked pretty well seasoned for his short time as the starter and the offensive line kept him untouched. Beating the Bears gets them into the playoffs and the gut punch they took last year on the final game eliminating them is still fresh in their mind. And its beating the Bears. Who wouldn't want that.

I think it's going to be a good game. Bears are playing much better than when they first met. Keeping the Packers out of the playoffs is a nice incentive. What Bear fan doesn't want that. 😁😁

It’s been over 8 years since the Bears last left Lambeau Field with a victory. And it’s been even longer since a Bears vs. Packers matchup has mattered even half as much as this one.

Assuming the Dallas Cowboys can take care of their -13.5 spread on Sunday to claim the NFC East, a Packers win would set up a classic playoff date in AT&T Stadium — a field on which the Packers have never lost.

I anticipate a good game. If the packers D shows up the way it did yesterday, GB should be on cruise control, but we’ll have to wait and see. #10 looked like pro bowl material yesterday, bright future ahead! Fingers crossed Reed heals up in time, and would be awesome to get Watson back out there with him.

This game is a huge indictment on Lafleur as a head coach and leader of men. He's choked to many hires and has yet to notch a big win on his resume. In fact his resume in big games is pretty bad.
2021 lost playoff game to Tampa when he decided to kick a pointless FG down more than 3 with 2.5 minutes to go. Our defense was awful that year (nothing new). Everyone was why you kicking that you're not going to get the ball back and we didn't. Game over.

2022 home playoff game in zero degree weather vs SF. All year long we knew our special teams was awful. Lafluer refused to fire Mo Guyton and it bit him in the ass when SF blocked a punt inside the 20 and scored a few plays later. That was the only TD they scored that game off a direct result of him overlooking and keeping his fingers crossed the special teams wouldn't cost them a game. They did.

Last year at him vs Lions. Lions have nothing to play for,,, Packers playing for a playoff berth. Was completely out couched by the Campbell

Now this year. Our defense is god awful,,, he knows it yet refuses to make a fire is buddy Barry,,,, anyone think Field couldn't run wild on this defense? We've seen the movie before,,, and if that happens with what we've all seen from this defense the past three years Lafleur's got some explaining to do.
