5 Things We Learned From the NFC Championship

1. Caleb Hanie is the future

After Cutler was knocked out with a sprained MCL (as far as we know), the bears put in Todd Collins, and after seeing that fail, they put in Hanie. Hanie, undrafted out of Colorado State, didn't have the best stats, but threw pretty well. Excluding the 2 picks (B.J. Raji = the freezer), his passes were accurate and fast, hitting his spots and escaping blitzes. The bears haven't seen that in a while.

2. Greg Jennings is an Elite Receiver

After racking up 130 yards, Jennings has really come together. Sure he has had his bad moments, like fumbles and dropping a sure catch that lost us the game against the Lions, but he is really playing at a top level.

3. The Refs are Hypocrites
 Julius Peppers had a 15 yard penalty for a head-head hit on rodgers. I am sorry for not mentioning this in the last post, Peppers is excellent, but this hit should have gotten him ejected, like the refs and NFL said they would do to those hits. 


4. Tim Mathsay is a Great Punter
He pinned so many people inside the 10 yard line. He kept Hester to a 2.5 yard return average. People don't love him but he was great.


5. The Packers are Much Better than the Bears Historical and Today
