Green Bay earns their 5th Super Bowl appearance. Seems this is the year of the road warriors. Last week I listened to Chris Berman and thought that Chicago would win today. The Packers were just too much for Da Bears.
One thing fun about sports is when the unexpected hero rises to the front. Today #90 had his day in the sun and a pretty good celebration end zone dance. Who would have thought that a guy who calls himself the Freezer would have made winning score, but that is exactly what B.J. Raji did. I loved the replay, to me it showed that pick was not just good luck or something that happened by accident. He faked the rush, dropped back and ran to the outside expecting that slant pass and was ready to make the int. Wow a guy that big and how quick and agile he was. I gotta believe he read that play all the way and boom a pick 6.
Am I wrong thinking Green Bay was just the more physical team today? It seemed as if the Packers defense kept giving them good field position and ultimately won the game?
I like how Caleb Hanie in spite of two picks kept Chicago in the game. I thought he was the only spark of offense they had. That big pass play that set up the Bears first touchdown was as good as it gets. Da Bears seemed to have two seasons this year. The first one a disaster and the second one getting them into the play offs. Today they played alot like the first season. I think they were outplayed and out coached. But thats the beauty of sports, wait till next season Da Bears will be back.
In the meantime congrats to Green Bay you deserve your trip to the Super Bowl.
