I'm not expecting it to be much of a game. Between the coaching issues you've pointed out and the fact below I don't know how we could possibly even keep it close. Considering that 1 of those teams was an overrated Bears club the real fact is that no good team has ever lost....least of all to a team with the number of issues that the Packers have.

Coaching has been iffy this year, our defense is below average, Favre has a fractured thumb and plays with a splint, our receivers aren't very good and our number 1 CB has turf toe and isn't playing well at all. At this point the only thing Sunday appears to be good for is to determine how much the Eagles will beat us by.

Since 1990, when the NFL expanded its playoff field to 12 teams, the home teams in the NFC Divisional round -- in other words, the top two seeds who earn the first-round bye -- are a staggering 24-2, with only Chicago in 2001 and San Francisco in 1995 (both No. 2 seeds) being eliminated before the conference title game.
