I should have remembered the crazy comeback victories six times in the regular season.

for the love of Cheese, would the Packers please spend some time in the off-season working on their 4 minute offense (aka bleeding the clock dry at the end of the game when you have the lead).

They took the ball with 4-something to go up by three, and the Bears had 3 timeouts. If they could have managed 6 consecutive plays without a self-inflicted clock stoppage whilst moving the chains, they could have kneeled it out on the far side of the two minute warning and the game would have been over without the Bears touching the ball.

But I believe that if the Pack had TE Tucker Kraft in the lineup, they would have been much more efficient in the 4-minute offence. They sure missed Kraft over the past several games.

Not taking anything away from da Bears though. Helluva comeback!
