Wow, I didn't realize Chicago's offense was ranked 30th in the NFL. With all the talk about Cutler and Martz on Fox they made it seem like they were in the top 10.

That surprised me too. I was also surprised to learn that their rushing offense was 22nd in the league, just two spots better than the Packers. I had heard that Matt Forte had a good year, but I guess a lot of that was receiving yardage, and they don't get many rushing yards from their other backs.
Special teams is where the Bears can kill us. Masthay did an excellent job keeping the ball away from Hester last time. Can he do it twice in a row? I think that will be very difficult.
An odd thing about the Packers is that even though they have advanced to the conference championship game, they have nobody on their roster who has any kind of clue how to return a kickoff. For punt returns, Tramon Williams is below average but very competent. Kickoff returns have been an adventure, though. Shields hasn't panned out as we hoped he would.
