Everyone plays better defense than the Packers.  Everyone.  They play prevent defense the entire game and hope for someone to try to throw deep so they can get an interception.  This worked most of the season only because they'd score over fourty points a game and the other team would fall behind. 

You know if the Bears stayed healthy that they would have knocked the Packers this year.  You should be happy that the Giants did it instead.

I can't really argue with that, because I've been critical of the Packers defense for exactly this reason.

But if the Bears stayed healthy, they would have gotten the #5 seed in the NFC and then lost against the Giants. The outcome for the Packers wouldn't have changed.

Touche.  You are probably right.
