NFC Championship Game (1 Viewer)

[Joe Bryant]

One of the ways I always like to talk about the "flukiness" or the "certainty" of a games outcome is to ask the question: Given the exact same set of circumstances that were present at kickoff, who wins if they could magically play the game 10 times? In other words, 10 games, each brand new each time with nothing learned from any of the other 10 games.

With that said, how do you see the NFC Championship game?

I realize I am biased, but I thought the Bears special teams were terrible yesterday. They were the #1 ranked special teams unit in the regular season, while GB was 27th. Yet Hester was virtually non exsistant, Maynard's punting and the Bears coverage was mediocre at best, and the coaching staff decided not to even let one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history even attempt a field goal.

That, combined with Cutler leaving due to injury at halftime, made the game feel like it didn't really play out the way it was "supposed to", if that makes sense. I am not saying the Packers wouldn't have emerged victorious, just that as a fan, I felt a little jilted by the Cutler injury and the very poor special teams play that lead to the game being less competitive than it otherwise might have been.

Any Bear or Packer fan that says their team would win a majority of these matchups is just kidding themselves - heck, many here (and many experts) said it was a coinflip. Even Vegas odds maker's virtually had it as such.

The Packers were the better team by far in the 1st half.

Before Cutler was hurt, the Bears could do little to nothing on offense.

They held on to win eventhough it ended up close in the end.

I think if they play that game more...Rodgers doesn't throw that ball to Urlacher and that ball does not hit Driver's foot for the INT and they win by even more most times.

At this point...I disagree...because we do know now how the teams played. How GB came out and controlled that first game so much.You can't go back and really forget that.Given the same conditions and how Green Bay came out, I don't think it is kidding anyone to think GB would win a majority of those games.
