Packers advance to NFC title game
Green Bay - Brett Favre somehow spun free from the Seahawks' clutches and stumbled ahead in the snow. Ever the gambler, he flipped a wobbly, underhanded pass that he had no business trying, let alone completing.
That's right!" he shouted.
Sure was, for Favre and the NFC championship-bound Green Bay Packers.
With Lambeau Field looking like a snow globe, Favre frolicked in the flurries, throwing three touchdown passes as the Packers beat Seattle 42-20 Saturday, the highest-scoring postseason game in Packers' history.
This must have been the scene the 38-year-old three-time NFL MVP imagined when he decided to postpone retirement and try for another Super Bowl ring.
Ryan Grant made history, too, recovering from two fumbles that put the Packers down 14-0 after only four minutes to set a Packers' postseason record with 201 yards rushing. He scored three times; Greg Jennings caught a pair of TD tosses; and Favre tied his personal best for touchdown strikes in a postseason game.

To the best of my recollection, the Bears didn't play last week.
Too bad, it would have been nice if the Pack and the Bears met this post season. Then the Pack would have had the disntinction of going 0-3 against the same team, instead of losing only TWICE.
As for the Bears' quarterback problems: have you ever heard of Sid Luckman?

gazettefan: who did the Bears play last week? this week? next week? Yeah, thought so. The Packers have had an amazing run this year. I hope they go all the way!! But, if they do go to the big game and win, I'm afraid Brett will infact retire. Then maybe the Packers can be like the Bears and start a different QB each week of the season :)

OK then, if you want to put it that way, maybe it is a stretch.
(Besides, the Packers didn't beat Indy TWICE last season.)

If the Pack goes all the way, it's not a stretch to say that the Bears are the Superbowl champs!!!
