Yesterday

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.
