Game over. That timeout call was a fucking stupid decision by the Bears. ---

I don’t think either of these teams can beat the AFC. This was awful. ---

Bad call on third down. The AFC is Good’s only hope now. ---

Great game. I do somewhat disagree with that intentional grounding call. Overall, though, the Bears’ attempted comeback drive was very exciting. ---

Well shit. At least we made it a game in the 4th. ---

The least deserving team to ever make the Superbowl. ---

Well, that’s it. I’m not a fan of either team, and I would have been delighted to see a nobody come in and lift a team to victory (or at least overtime 😛 ) in the 4th quarter. Hanie came close. ---

The grounding call was lame, that timeout was stupid, and Hanie is a better QB than Cutler. ---

Well, sad for me to see the Bears lose. But Dio’s disappointment somehow softens the blow for me. ---

Favre disgraces himself and the Packers go to the SB without him. This has turned into a pretty good season. ---

Congratulations Packers…you guys deserve it, and will make a worthy opponent for the Steelers to beat in a couple weeks 🙂 ---

We wasted downs by letting Collins touch the fucking ball again after his atrocious play earlier this season. It may have turned out differently if Hanie had gone right in after Cutler got hurt.
