Chicago, Illinois Weather Forecast, Sunday, December 23:
Hazardous Weather Outlook
Wind Advisory
Today: A 40 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a steady temperature around 21. Breezy, with a west southwest wind around 25 mph, with gusts as high as 40 mph.
Tonight: A 30 percent chance of snow showers. Cloudy, with a low around 23. Breezy, with a west wind between 20 and 25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph.
And the Packers are going to bring it to the not so awesome NFC champions tody.
My Observations (for what they are worth)
Look for the short passing game to re-assert itself as well as the running game (hopefully McCarthy drilled them hard all week on their sloppy screen pass technique) due to predicted winds gusting up to 35 mph -- and look for Brett to throw more than one pick if he throws long into that swirling Soldier Field wind.
All the Pack has to do is concentrate on the job at hand and beat the living snot out of Chicago. MM has been superb on keeping his team focused all season.
I like this matching the Cowpies Tit for Tat in the last two regular season games! Romo's Homos ( not that there's anything wrong with that) didn't look all that good against Carolina, a team that we mopped the floor with..
Great snow storm. Just getting the office stove fired up. I really do love the rhythm of Sundays -- getting up when you feel like it, the comfort of ritual. Trudging through the snow knowing there will be fresh hot coffee and juice and building a fire in the stove. Nice.
Go, Pack, GO!
Will try to write more after the game!

Coming out of the shock of watching the Bears hand the Packers their buttocks on a platter with a side of humility. Everything the Bears executed so well, the Pack totally failed at -- we couldn't even handle snaps from center.
It was pretty obvious from the beginning that this game was a matter of intense pride for the Bruins of the Midway -- their two wins over the Packers consitute their Super Bowl this season.
For the first time since I have watched Green Bay play in cold weather, it really seemed to be affecting them. With 20 some seconds left in the first half, Favre made a beeline for the warmth of the dressing rooms with no thought of trying to run one more play.
So here we go -- down to Dallas after a week off and memories of the awful beatings Favre (0-9) has gone through in Texas Stadium.
I love these guys, it has been an amazing season, but I think we need to come to grips with the fact that they are a young team, if not the youngest in the NFL and this was a great year of experience and growth.
I'm not counting them out yet. But in a way, I guess it wouldn't be that bad a deal if the Cowboys end up facing the Patriots in the Super Bowl because I don't think anybody in the NFC can handle the AFC champs.
But we Cheeseheads don't like it when we lose do we? it is really of importance to us. And I think that we should be proud of that attitude. The Packers are an extension of US.
And we know how to handle defeat as well as victory. we don't turn on our team and abandon ship if they lose a game or even lose more than they win, as long as we know they are playing their hearts out.
So, Go, Pack, Go! We love you, win or lose!
