chicago bears will be super bowl champion

[count da money]

i don't think the bears have a chance maybe 1 game

[thebestthereis]

you dissect the bears in all facets of the game and they are as good as anyone in the NFC. they you pinpoint the person that holds the key, mr.jay pickler, then you realize you have zero chance at that point unless hester is running the wishbone.

[crustyme]

lol

[Bob Loblaw]

Bears played a weak schedule loaded with losing teams. I don't see them making the SB much less winning it.

They had 6 games vs playoff teams. Among playoff teams only the Pats and Falcons had more (7)

[Bob Loblaw]

The Bears won't even win a playoff game. They will draw either the Saints or the Eagles next week (I think it will be the Saints as I have Eagles losing to Green Bay) and they will lose to either team.

Why is that?

They already beat the Eagles and that game wasn't even as close as the final score indicated. That was an 18 point game in the 4th quarter and it took a miracle 30 yard 4th down touchdown pass into triple coverage with a minute left to make it a 5 point game.

Drew Brees has never won in Chicago. This is a dome team going on the road into what will probably be single degree weather. When Drew Brees traveled to Chicago in '06 for the NFC championship game he lost by 25 points. In '07 in week 17 when he had to win for a shot at the playoffs he threw 60 times and lost by 8 to a below .500 Bears team. He also lost in '08 and '03. Why all of a sudden is he going to go into Soldier Field to play an 11-5 team and do something he's never done before?

[Hexum]

Neither team scares me to be honest, i think the bears match up fairly well against either saints or eagles. People are so stupid and think they know football inside out.

[thebestthereis]

if you slept for 2 days straight dreaming your ass off there is no way you could come up with even a harry potter type story where jay cutler wins the superbowl. i am sorry please forget everything else and throw out all the garbage nonsense stats this and that crap. cutler is a choke artist and never won shit in his life. he has a good arm and can make a lot of throws yes, winners win the superbowl 99% of the time. i am not trying to be a dick i am telling you how it is in life and in winning at the highest level in sports and if you don't think so then you are just ignorant.

[latinrus]

Even ir ur dreams Cutler will throw a couple of interceptions!

The bears wont win a Game, or maybe 1 but no more!

Please. For one thing, you're counting the Packers twice. Even still, they were only 3-3 against the playoff teams, which includes the Seahawks, whom they lost to.

Fact is, they played an easy schedule with the majority of their games against teams with losing records.

[KC]

8-1 on them, should be higher

[louis.ana]

Cutler is hit or miss... bears were lucky to win many of their games this season
They will win their first playoff game though, Coach Lovie is expecting his contract extension that same day.

The whole team will put forward their best for the coach

Why wouldn't I count the Packers twice? They are a playoff team that took up 2 of their 16 games.

Yes, they were 3-3. And 3-3 is better than or equal to just about every team.

Patriots 6-1
Falcons 4-3
Saints 3-2
Bears 3-3
Ravens 3-3
Packers 3-3
Eagles 2-2
Steelers 2-4
Jets 2-4
Chiefs 1-1
Colts 1-2
Seahawks 1-3

Seems to me the Bears held their own vs playoff teams and then beat the teams they were supposed to beat just like every other team did.

[Stevedore]

Stevedore,
If green bay meets with da bears which is probaly not gonna happen, do u wanna bet me on that game. I'm not too far from u. We'll watch it at the same bar

We'll see... I don't think we get by Atlanta.

[Hexum]

Why dont we talk about the saints having an easy schedule...

Correct me if I'm wrong, and this isn't a dig on the Bears, but didn't the Bears have 4 wins over teams with backup QB's? I read that somewhere, who are the teams?

And to take it a step further. Wins vs .500 or worse teams...

Steelers - 9
Jets - 9
Chiefs - 9
Saints - 8
Colts - 8
Bears - 8
Ravens - 8
Falcons - 8
Patriots - 7
Packers - 6
Eagles - 6
Seahawks - 5

Percentage of wins that came vs .500 or worse teams...

Chiefs 90.0%
Jets 81.8%
Colts 80.0%
Steelers 75.0%
Saints 72.7%
Bears 72.7%
Seahawks 71.4%
Ravens 66.6%
Falcons 61.5%
Packers 60.0%
Eagles 60.0%
Patriots 50.0%

I don't get how the Bears are so different than the other playoffs teams.

[thechaoz]

They have a great chance of getting their. Anything can happen in the superbowl

[Bob Loblaw]

Well, Dolphins for sure. They shut them out.

I don't know if you're counting the Lions or not because they basically played without Stafford all year.

And then there's Joe Webb. Bears put up 40 that game so Favre likely wouldn't have beat them anyway. Favre also lost by 14 when he played the Bears earlier in the year.

[Grosshhit]

thats just fukin crazy horse man

[darren125]

It all depends on who wins this weekend.

[RonPaul2008]

Mike martz and the offense will tear through every defense in the playoffs. They'll have a tough time with new england in the super bowl, but they'll pull it off

Da Bears

The Bears have a decent chance of getting to the Super Bowl IMO, but if they have to face New England they will get crushed.

[CROANT]

Bob Loblaw - great breakdown. Thanks for taking the time to do that!

[jollyoscars]

da bears are the most underrated team entering the playoffs and they are gonna surprise A LOT of people

[fuggles]

Anything can happen and a bye week and home field in the next round is huge. Going to the superbowl is not out of the question. Winning it? I don't see it. I'll take pats, steelers, ravens or colts over them. Probably jets too.

[texashighroller]

Come on man!

[BigdaddyQH]

Da Bears

What is your next dream?

[cant call it]

[chaseman]

bears win their division and still can't get any respect. i love it.

[Hexum]

lets go packers!!! lmao if they win we got the seahawks

[nj6]

da bears, haters gonna hate

[Hexum]

da bearsssssss, one thing lovie smith does very well is find a way to beat the packers.

I might bet my bankroll on the bears(-10), withdraw my winnings and get a ticket to the bears/packers game.
