I still like Cutler it was impressive the way he played against Seattle. Next week will be tough test but I think the Bears can win it comes down to how well Cutler will play. Rodgers vs. Cutler cant wait!!

The current condition of the field in Soldier is very poor. It hinders the Dline's pass rush, and if a WR is unfamiliar with it, cutting in and out of your breaks is very difficult. The last time the Packers were in Soldier it was in much better shape. It should give the Bears an advantage now-not the weather, but the condition of the field-the Bears as a whole are more aclimated to it.

Going to be fun. All of these games between Rodgers and Cutler have been decided by only 1 score. That probably wont change next Sunday.

Yep can't wait! If Bears can take Clay out of the game they will probley win easier said than done I just hope they can slow down Rodgers he's been on fire lately. I predict a low scoring game like last meeting time will tell. I'm a Cutler fan will be rooting for the Bears this weekend.

With the shortcomings of the oline in the passblocking dept, it is paramount that they do Sunday what they did last week-use Jay's athletisism to buy time and keep the pass rush honest.

He is going to have to ball out, and he is fully capable of doing so.

I don't want to rain on anyones parade but it was against a 7-9 team. The Seahawks lost all 9 games this year by 14 or more points. If Cutler turns in a performance like that against the Pack then I'll give him credit.

Rodgers had 4 TD's against the #1 seed in the NFC on the road. Now that's more note worthy IMO.

[LordTrychon]

I'll be rooting for Cutler as usual this week. My favorite team left in the Playoffs.

Green Bay will be a tough game, but I think they can pull it off.

If they can't, I'll likely be rooting for Green Bay in the final.

I don't buy into the 'It was just Seattle' talk. The Bears earned a first round bye... beat a team that won in the wildcard round, and are now in the Championship game.

Jay looked good, but Seattle's pass D is pretty bad.

Nevertheless, it was still a noteworthy performance.

[Broncbeat]

Have to admit Jay didn't stink it up but this week will be different. The Packs D will give Jay a hard time and there D will be tough too. However I'm rooting for the Packers. Go Packers!

It was also against a tean that has proven more than once, it's capability to win a playoff game. Regular season records only count to where the game gets played. After the kickoff, they don't mean squat.

Watching [email protected] it looked to me like Ryan and Co thought all they had to do was show up.

A 7-9 team that beat the heavily-favored defending champs that had a super bowl mvp as their qb, and that same defending champs beat them soundly during the regular season. A 7-9 team whose one of their seven victories was against chicago. in soldier field.

playoffs are a different animal. i dunno why seattle doesnt get or deserve any credit at least for the wildcard round. yeah, they're a bad regular season team, none of the teams from the nfc west should have been in the playoffs. but they played their best game when it mattered, when everyone thought the wildcard round was a freebie for new orleans...

just two years ago, a 9-7 team almost won the super bowl if not for a late td. if arizona had won that superbowl, it was because they played better than all the other teams when it really matters.

Re: The Seahawks -

The Chargers and Jets got all sort of credit for winning in the playoffs despite barely squeeking in over the past few years. They were giving the Seahawks credit like that until Chicago dismantled them, but now it's a black mark on the Bears' season.

Remember how everyone was talking about the Jets squeeking in because they faced two teams resting at the end and wouldn't have made it otherwise?

Wasn't Green Bay pretty close to that this year?

I certainly will not try to minimize the Bears performance....with that being said, Rodgers was simply amazing Saturday night. If he stays in the "zone", he will be hard to beat.

[OrangeCrushinMi]

Too bad he sucked as a Bronco. Why couldn't we get those type of performances here?

Absolutely.

The Bears will likely give him a harder time, but this could be a great game. I hope it is either way.
