Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers: Live Updates and Open Thread

One last time, dear friends.

Good morning, Bears fans.

We get one more chance to watch this Chicago Bears team put a merciful end to this season before we spend the next eight months pining for the preseason.

Of course, as Sam so succinctly put it, the nightmare season would have to end against the nightmare opponent known as the Green Bay Packers.

As this is your Open Thread for today’s game, Les advises that it is rated WCG-MA, but having rung in the new year, I’ll advise you to Open Thread Responsibly (TM).

And as always, for one final time, Bear Down, my friends.

Inactives for today’s game are as follows:
