Brett Favre - 2/7 for 9 yds in teh 1st half. I LOVE watching football in this weather (from the comfort of my own home!!!! :p )

Really well played by the Bears - great Chicago weather helped too :wink:

Real football weather. Domes should be torn down. If it's winter, the game should be played in winter!

Anyone, other than Counter-trey and a few others, old enough to have seen the real Packers? The Lombardi Packers? They never wore long sleeve shirts, or sat on heated benches. They stood on the sidelines, and let the opposing team snuggle under blankets...and fear.

Superior toughness. By the way, toughness is what Joe Gibbs talked about mid-season last year. You don't win unless you are tougher than the other team. When the '86 and '87 Redskins dismantled the "unbeatable" Ditka Bears, they did it by being tougher.

And so say all of us! And we may as well call 'em by what they really are - gymnasiums.

Isn't that supposed to be Packer weather, too?

Given their home location, I'm surprised they couldn't handle such conditions.

Maybe they forgot when Lombardi retired.

They were ridiculously unfocussed - all more interested in being huddled round the heaters practically the whole game. HIGHLY unprofessional performance.
