since making the playoffs 4 years ago.

Their quarterback is basically a rookie (started what? 7 games in the last 2 seasons) so their offense is questionable at best. While their defense gets plenty of press, Brett Favre showed how to get 200 yards passing in the first half aginst it by doing short routes: 5 yards in the air, let your receivers get an additional 5 - 10 yards on the ground. He would have kept doing it if they hadn't fallen behind enough to require him to throw farther downfield, where the Bears secondary got lucky enough to prevent a last minute packer miracle.
