It takes a lot of bravado to come on here and talk smack without using your real name. Then again, given the drivel you typed here maybe your birth mother didn't like you and named you guest.
Congratulations to the Bears and their real fans who stand behind their team and type there true name. Good luck next week. |

| Yup, the Bears are the class of the North Division. They beat a bad Seattle team, Bearly! If the 5th string DB hangs on to the pick in the 1st qaurter, I think Gross Rexman goes in the tank, and Seattle wins, going away. Also, If Holmgren trys the 50 yarder, and doesn't punt it in the end zone for a net if 16 yards, they probably win the game.
Lot of what ifs in that game yesterday. Fact is the Bears are not that good, and were lucky to win. But look out when the Saints come up to Soldier Field next week. You'll be watching the SB, just like the other 30 teams. |

| Am I talking about the right game? Or was it Reid that punted on 4 and 1? Maybe Holmgren went for it, and made it? Too much good football watched this weekend. When is Marty going to win a playoff game? It certainly didn't seem like he coached too conservative this game. Again, if the guy doesn't fumble after the pic, the Chargers win.
My prediction is Saints Vs. Patriots. |

Location: Chicago IL. | AHHH Shep. That saints running game will not be the same here.( outdoors and cold) For some reason this team finds a way to win, sorta like the way the pack was in the heyday of there sb runs. Both teams made alot of boo boo`s but the timing of them was in our favor. The game sunday will be the same way I think.
But bottom line is we are still playing!!!!!! |

Location: Rhinelander | I don't hunt bears, even though there are LOTS of them on my land. I like whitetail, that's good eating. Some folks tell me bear is as good, but I see what they eat. And, when you skin one, it looks very human like hanging there. |

| Why is it that when the Packers or other teams win in the style the Bears did yesterday, they kicked butt. However, when the Bears get the W, it was lucky. C'mon all you Packer fans, don't be so sad. the Bears are defending the NFC North. You don't have to like them, but at least cheer them on. Like John said, the Bears are still playing. I actually cheered on the Pack when the Bears weren't in it, believe it or not. Wow! Did I actually say that in public? Alcohol low level light must be blinking. |

In all seriousness, I was at the Tri Esox Muskie Show in the Chicago area yesterday, and every TV in every booth was playing the Bears Game instead of product/guiding/etc video. When the scored the place rocked for a couple minutes. The Chicago folks take their football seriously. |

Location: Jackson, Wisconsin 53037 | There is no way in heck, that I can root for the bears. I rooted for them one time. I wanted walter to get his superbowl ring. The next year, when they lost to Philly in the fog, was great.
I don't see them beating the saints, the bears are not that good. Their defense has slipped, that was the only thing they had going for them.
Saints and Indy in the superbowl. |

| Now why would someone accuse me of something, Its funny but not me. lol. I could never be that funny to you packer fans.

Go Bears!!!!!!!! U pumped up Zach????????????????????? |

Location: Rockford MN | Well I'm a Bears fan and I'm enjoying the win! Seems most here feel a need to find something to pick apart about this team. I'll take the 14-3 record and a chance at the SB again. They are lucky enough to just keep on winning, so I say just keep playing every game like the last and just win.
I'm glad the Saints won, I did'nt want to see an outdoor team that was on a roll like Philly was (thank you Saints). Oh well it's nice to have a winner again, and the future looks bright. They seem to draft well and get guys that play perfectly into their system. This could very well be their year, time will tell. If they play a good game next week and one of the better ones of the season in the SB they could very well win it.
If they do somehow lose this week, it will be a heartbreak, but givin the avg age and skill of the squad they should still be around a few years in contention for the crown.
By the way Shep, if the Bears would have picked those 2 passes early in the game (one of which was a sure TD) the game would'nt have been close! However thats why they play the whole game and "if's" are for people looking for an excuse! lol |

| Not picking on the Bears, but I must have hit the nerve that you all know this tema is not that good. At least not as good as the were early in the season. They miss Harris alot, and Mike Brown even more. That's two huge pieces of their defense. Fact is, teams can run, and pass on them. As for the offense, the run game is mediocre, at best. Grossman is hard to figure. He looks great one game, but then the next, he comes out with a zero QB rating. As for the dropped pick, all I'm saying is if he hangs on, Rex's confidence goes down the tube, and you've got Griese, who's never been in a playoff gmae. Scary
Saints should win this weekend. The running gmae is too much. And the Saints defense will be just good enough.
Saints vs Pats in the SB!

Location: Oshkosh, Wisconsin | Chicago won 13 games (lost to Miami, at NE, and gave a game to GB). They scored 427 points, only San Diego scored more. They gave up only 255 points, only Baltimore and NE were better... Are they as good as they were early in the season? No. But they are still the class of the NFC.
New Orleans is a great team as well. To overcome what they have (and still are) is amazing. That said, dome teams typically don't perform very well outside in the playoffs. Chicago could lose, but they would have to make a lot of mistakes for that to happen.
Me, I could care less what happens. Open water fishing is right around the corner - I have no time for trival things like Super Bowls.

Not that good compaired to who? I mean the watered down NFL is about the "now". Few teams in this league can win 13 games in the regular season. I'm sure it's very hard to stay focused when you have the Div and then homefield wrapped up by the 12th week of the season. The Bears pound the ball at teams in the running game, they don't spread them out and play the cat and mouse game. They beat up the D line and control the clock. To say that their running game isn't very good is kinda of a mistake. So they have a different approch than say SD, that does'nt mean it's not effective. Their whole game plan hinges on the QB making a few plays during the course of the game. Run Run and Run some more then hit that quick hitter slant or that one deep ball once a quarter, Then just play D, sure it's the Tampa 2, your gonna give up some yards, just don't give up the big plays.
It's fun to watch a team that just lines up week after week and says here it is, now beat us. Few teams do that anymore, they have to ad trick plays and change things from week to week to compete. Good strong D is how you win in the playoffs, and the Bears are better than avg. I'll be glued to the set watching every play, can't wait to see a fair weather Dome team that relys on fast cuts and screens, trying to perform on the Frozen turf!

| Gordy,
Bear's D is better than average, yes. But, as I said they miss Harris and Brown. They were an awesome, fearsome D. Now they are just better than average. I think the Saints D is better than average, too. Trick plays. You mean like fake punts?
While I am a Packer fan, and I hate the Bears, I did root for them in 85, mostly because of Walter Payton. I still say he was hurt when they gave the ball to the fat guy to score in the SB. Now that was disrespecting probably the best RB of all time.
as for the uncle shep comment. Huh? I don't have an aunt, or an uncle. Are you saying you are somebodies Aunt? You certainly have no balls.

In reality you should be rooting for the Bears to go to the super bowl. Why? Because that will make all the poor records look better. Think about it. |

The aunt/uncle thing (not posted by me btw) most likely wasn't intended as an insult. I've heard that phrase used when people are trying to point out that there are a lot of "what if's" in everything we do BUT we are measured by what we do accomplish instead of what we could have. What if the guy doesn't fumble?
As they say on ESPN... that's why they play the games. |

| OK, I've not heard that. Or maybe I have, and forgotten. In which case I am sorry. I can't edit that part out, so it Zach or Steve wil have to delete it.
Always a lot of ifs in football, or any sport. All I'm saying is the Bears are perhaps what Denny thought they were. And they had a better defense then, than they do now. I thought the NFC North was supposed to be the worst Division in the NFL. I submit that it might really be the NFC West!

| When the facts ( 14-3 ) get overshadowed by emotions , it's a sad sad day .
The bears still play slash and run , thats their game ( 3 GOOD backs ).
Not always exciting , but effective . We all know that a win is a win .
I'll be there sunday , rooting on the Bears to bring the NFC crown home .
My favorite games are the match ups with the pack , the fans and level of excitement are unbeliveable . A Bears fan , YES , A NFC North fan , Always !

Here's some fuel , I'm also a CUB'S fan !!!!! |

| Well, the Bears are what Lovie thought they were. Pretty good defense played against the Saints. I think the Saints passed to much. 26 didn't get nearly enough touches. And the Saints D-Line just got whupped all day, especially when they got tired later. Congrats to the Bears.
No, go out and put Manning on his backside. Early and often! |

Location: Chicago IL. | The guy(Manning) is hard to get to,reads the blitz very well,but so did Brees. Flushing him out of the pocket will be the key to the bears victory. His passing percentage drops off the table on the run. Also he likes to work the middle of the field. A couple of good SOLID hits on those crossing patterns will make a big difference.
Zach we need a contest to see who comes closest with the total points or something!!! |

| Let me be the first to Congratulate the Chicago Bears on an outstanding performance in the rain soaked Super Bowl. I would have done the same thing and stayed home just like they did instead of showing up and playing defense. But just like the Cubbies, we have next season to look forward to. I knew we were in trouble going into this game when we could not even beat the hapless Packers at the end of the season when we should have been performaning at a peak. So till next season, here's to the 85 Bears, true Superbowl Champs. |
|

| Nope there is no code hidden in the phrase"the bears still suck" the bear have a petent on that phrase and 4 ever will be known the only superbowl the won was in 85. Sorry bears fans nobody who loses the superbowl comes back the next year and wins it! Just wont happen that was your chance and your lucky year for trick plays................is over and you still suck! Rex is the worse QB in all football for Big game pressure situations......... HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHahahahahahahahahahahahahahawhhops now i feel bad cause i'm acting like the typical bears fan |

| Ha Ha Ha a Ha where are the bears fans this morning............there all crabbie and pissed off so now we will have to live with this for a week or two like always when the bears lose................LOSERS |

| I thought the Bears D played pretty well, for about a quarter and 1/2. But after 5 three and outs, they got worn down. The game was over at halftime, even with the missed FG. I hated to see the Colts win, as I still think Manning is a huge whiner. He looked like he was angry the whole game. Even on completions, he was whining about something. Anybody got a clue why?
Bears were outcoached. When they needed to start on defense hard, they couldn't get off the field. Grossman has to be the worst QB to ever start a SB. |
|

| I'm right here (Bears fan), I have NO PROBLEM with the way the team I chear for played this year. NONE! I hear from all the fans of the Pack and Vikes, and all I hear is jealous fans pounding their chest like they had something to do with this years out come. Fact is the Bears did exacly what every team tries every year to do (put yourself in position to win) As soon as you you get to 10 wins in season (again) then you can make the playoffs, until then you should'nt be pounding your chests at anytime!
On a side note, I thought the Refs handed the Colts the game and that Manning is horrilbe and the Colts were the luckest team in league and played the softest schedule, DID I forget anything???? |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | A few observations:
The MVP should have gone to Addai and Rhodes. The game plan to run at Urlacher instead of running wide is the reason they won. Yes, Manning made some plays when he had to, but without the running game the Colts would not have won.
Manning - I love his attitude on the field. Never happy, bitching at the officials and other players, etc. He reminds me of the greatest athlete and competitor I've ever had the pleasure to watch and cheer for: Michael Jordan. I was fortunate enough to be a Bulls season ticket holder back in the late 80's and early 90's. You wanna talk about a guy who wanted to kill ever opponent on the floor? That's what I see in Manning: anything less than perfection isn't good enough.
The Bears - Congratulations to the Bears and their fans on a great season. Other than a few late games shoves by Tank Johnson they carried themselves with class in victory and defeat. They are a definite reflection fo their coach. If I were the Bears I'd do whatever it takes to sign Lovie to a long term deal. Otherwise Jerry Jones will sink his claws into him by the end of the week.
Tony Dungy - Out of everyone on the field last night I was happier for this guy than anyone else. He is a total class act. After dealing with the suicide of his son last year and the cheap shot firing by Tampa Bay when he had that team on the verge of winning it all, he's stayed composed, maintained his class, and got what he deserved. My hats off to him and the Colts organization.

Not whinning at all! It was tounge and cheek> related to another thread where, the Bears were ripped apart by backers of the other teams mentioned! It's all good today, I'm still happy for the team I cheer on, they made the "Big game" even when everyone said they would'nt! |

Location: Loves Park, IL now Mt. View Ar. | I watched all the Groosman bashing all week by the so called expert's on TV and the packers backers(hate them), that jumped on the ban wagon. In his first full season as a starting QB, realy his rookie season and take them to the Super Bowl was priceless for the experence that well only make him a better QB. I looked up some facts on QB's rookie seasons just to compare...Farve,Manning,Groosman. I used Farves 1993 stats, in 1992 farve shared time with Majowski at QB.
The future looks brite for Groosman and I hope this kids putts all the Rex haters back in there place someday...
Att. Comp. Yds comp% TD INT Rating
2006 Grossman 480 262 3193 54.6 23 20 73.9
1993 Farve 522 318 3303 60.9 19 24 72.2
1998 Manning 575 326 3739 56.7 26 28 71.2 |

| Jigger after rex has played 10 plus years in the league with out being hurt and has 4 or 5 division titles, 3 or 4 conference championships you cant compare him with great QB's in the league until then . In my humble opinion he's just average qb that had one average season who played on a team that has great defense and special teams. Imagine if the bears had Garcia on there team as there Qb  |

| I agree with jerry on the MVP. Should have been Rhodes, IMO. Probably the most mediocre of stats for a SB MVP winning QB. Certainly not one of his better games. I guess he was was upset with the play calling. Too conservative for him. But look what happened when they let him open it up to start the game. INT! Then Moore kept the passes short and controlled, and kept him on his feet. PO's Manning, but won the game that way.
Who'd have thought the Colts, the finesse team, would have outhit the Bears, the Monsters of the Midway? They dominated both lines, the whole game. How did that happen? Run at Erlacher, and you will be successful. If those big bodies up front can't clog it up for him, he's not so great. He sure can run, though.
As for Gross Rexman, I'll give him another year to show what kind of QB he is. But I'm not sure the Bears will. hehehe His 3rd year. I can't help it he got hurt his first two years. Deer in the headlights was the look most of the game.
As for Dungy. OK, he finally got there and won. I don't think the Bucs were wrong in firing him. He had 6 years to get there with dominating defenses, and didn't get it done. A year later, Gruden came in, and won it all. Ain't done squat since, but he did get it done. Not so sure Dungy could have, with that offense.

They would have been home watching the super bowl with your teams.....
Yup they kept that defense on the field forever it seemed and that hurt them badly. Don't count out a player that hasn't been around just remember all qb's suck at the start of there career. Excluding the lucky Brady. So lets look forward to next year and hopefully they can make the playoffs again. Barring the Lions dont get on track. Because noone else in the division has the tallent to take down the monsters of the midway yet. |

Anyway, we still made it to the big show and thats more than other NFC team can say. It was a fun ride while it lasted. Now,,,GO CUBBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| It wasn't just Rex's worst game this year. The defense gets to share that label with him too! They did not look anything like the 3rd best scoring defense in the league this year.
The interesting thing about this is, and its a "new" record. The Colts are the first SB Champion that beat the top 3 scoring defenses in the league during their run to the S.B. title. Chicago was rated the #3 scoring defense this year. |
|
| |
|
| Yup, I'm still here with ya Johnny, we lost and we did not look good after the first quarter. They kept our defense on the field to much. Who's to blame well I go with the offensive calls they had. But you can also say it was the turnovers after a turnover. Well just have to see next season like everyone else now. Had fun for a while. |
