No seriously, why was Cutler benched. I hope it’s not for performance, cause I don’t think Todd Collins is the answer to the Bears woes. ---

Urlacher is having a great game at least. Maybe he’ll demand to be traded next year so he can get a SB ring before he retires. ---

Knee injury. Kudos to the Bears’ defense for not giving up. McCarthy needs to keep his foot on the gas pedal. ---

Here we go Hanie. It’s your shot. Make something happen baby! ---

Caleb Hanie has a chance to make the city of Chicago his bitch if he can somehow engineer a comeback. Oh, and knee injury. ---

This is his chance. He can do this. He can only be better than Todd Collins. Todd Collings lix dix. ---

The Chicago defense has done it’s job. Too bad their offense has been so putrid. Let’s go, Hanie. If you pull this game out, you’ll be swimming in pussy. ---

If I was the Pack, I might think about selling out to stop the run. I doubt Chicago is looking to pass deep right now. ---

Well, he’s got the 4th quarter all to himself. ---

Hanie better be careful about scrambling and dropping his shoulder into the defense. If he gets injured, the Bears won’t have a QB they can use. ---

Nice pass. TD! Go Bears! (They should have challenged that call at the 1, although it doesn’t matter now) ---

He’s not out. That’s a TD. Not that it matters now. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/packers-v-bears-nfc-championship-game/568478.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/packers-v-bears-nfc-championship-game/568478.md?page=9)
