The Big Dance!

Can you even believe it?!  I still don't think that its sunk in just yet, but my goodness the Packers are heading to the Super Bowl!  Aaron Rodgers certainly didn't have his best outing, but it was just enough as the defense stepped up their game once again to put the Chicago Bears away 21-14.

The only thing that I have to complain about today is that all of the national media are focusing their stories on Jay Cutler and questioning whether he gave up on his team.  Ever since he was a player in the NFL, I never really cared for Cutler.  Mostly because of his sideline attitude and generally terrible body language.  He never seems to give two "you-know-whats" about what's happening with his team. 

I will say though, that if he did indeed take himself out of the game, he made the right decision.  If he had stayed in, I wouldn't have been surprised if the Packers won 28-0.  Once he came out and they replaced Collins with Hanie, the Bears got some life (albeit alongside two VERY important interceptions).  The good news is that after today and maybe a little tomorrow, the focus will once again be on the Green Bay Packers as they prepare for their match-up with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV!
