Before the game meaning all of last week I was thinking about this game basically non stop. I was losing sleep over it and throughout the day I would find myself picturing how i would like the game to play out. For some reason this game today felt bigger to me than any other packers game i had ever been witnessed to in my life. I guess its because i grew up in Chicago and most of my friends are Bears fans. I was the only Cheesehead fan out the pack for a few years but i now have a bunch of packer fans as friends that I see on a daily basis. I was so nervous before the game and I kept thinking that it was our destiny and fate to beat the bares on their home field for the right to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. I just felt there was no way the Packers could lose because it would defy the Laws of Fate and Destiny lol.

After the game it was like I had just hit the Lottery and was able to buy whatever i wanted at any given time. I was more than happy after Sam Shields picked the pass off. My mind was racing and I was so excited that me and my dad were high fiving and jumping around and i was running through my house like a chicken with its head cut off lol. All in all this win means more to me than any other packer victory i have ever witnessed and I hope we win the superbowl.

What were You guys' feelings before and after the game?

I was cautiously optimistic. I thought Green Bay was the better team. For the record, still do. However, weird things happen when the Bears play the Pack. We saw it again today. The third string QB almost leads the Bears to tie the game with a touchdown.

I actually watched The Shawshank Redemption and the message of the movie is hope. I applied that to my thought process in the moments before the game.

After the game, it was more of a sigh of relief. I thought the Packers offense nearly loss this game to be honest and the Bears manage such strange wins that it would have been fitting for them to comeback, especially in this type of postseason. Looking back though, GB was the better team throughout this game, even after halftime.

Shawshank Redemption is a great movie.

I was confident that the Packers > Bears from top to bottom, but as I mentioned in the chat a few times, I hate how the Bears pull out magical shit against us and that's what worried me.

Good post, kobe. I was too nervous to get all fired up like you did, especially after having my heart ripped out by that playoff loss in Arizona a year ago (not to mention the loss to the Giants that ended the 2007 season). Like porky, I thought the Packers were the better team and would win, but after the game it was more like a sigh of relief--and not till after Shields had finally gone down and I was sure he hadn't fumbled the ball away and I was sure there were no flags.

Feelings Before/After the Game:

Before: Felt a bit anxious but mostly excited ... wondering how exciting this game was going to be and IMO more exciting then the superbowl.

I felt we were the better team but knew that mistakes/penalties called or not called and poor play calling could change the outcome then what I thought it would be.

Felt like we had a really good chance to win thou.


After: Well I got to say after teh 1st half I thought we had it in the bag ... but I got to admit the play calling IMO drastically changed the 2nd 1/2 ... what I saw was someone whom wanted to win and stick it to the bears the 1st 1/2 ... the second 1/2 was someone whom didnt want to lose and was trying not to let the bears catch up.

Im just happy we pulled it off in the end even there was a Huge difference in the types of plays that we called.

and btw - I really look forward to next year when I hope we get finley back ... man that guy could catch ...

Im pretty excited about the superbowl in 2 weeks ...
pretty exciting.

Feelings? What are those?
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Before: Didn't think the Bears should be able to stay with the Packers.
After: i. Thought it was way too close for a game against a team with Collins/Hanie at the helm. ii. Yet still felt better about this team than I have since the bad taste of SuperBowl XXXII.

I'm convinced that if GB brings its A-game, the Super Bowl won't be close.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
