Video highlight & game summary:  NFL.com.   Espn.
Summary: RB Grant rushed for 137 yards and 2 touchdowns to lead the Pack past the  home team Bears 21-14.   On a cold dreary day, the Packers left points on the field with missed opportunities, but they got enough against the spoilers Bears to get another ugly win.  The Packers played stretches of dominating football, followed by stretches of lackluster football, and followed by key defensive plays to swing the game to its final outcome.

Packers Greatness vs Bears-Carp-Alooza

AUTHOR: jclombardi | IN: Aaron Rodgers, Chicago Bears, Chicago Bears, Chicago Bears, Lombardi's Links, NFC North, NFL, News, News | COMMENTS: None Yet

Jclombardi previews Packers game against Bears.
In blogging, the pipedreams of delusional fools behind enemy lines are cliches, but this laughable quote can be enjoyed with hysterical laughter among us:
Mission Statement: Victory Over Green Bay–“Beating the Packers would give Bears a signature win. It would keep alive the playoff pipe dream. It would sustain a chance to finish second in the division. If beating the Packers can fortify Smith’s status….”
Ah, lowly bottom feeders with nothing left but a desperate spoilers role. Ah, the Windy C..arp-Alooza.  How low can they go?
