RiggoReincarnated Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Have the best offensive/defensive complement in the league right now. With their schedule, I think its pretty safe to say that the road to Miami is going to run through Solider Field. Hopefully if we get them in the playoffs, Gibbs can recant the prior successes he's had at Solider Field in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I think its pretty safe to say that the road to Miami is going to run through Solider Field. . Not true. After week 4, it's not safe to say anything. Long season. Very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggoReincarnated Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Not true. After week 4, it's not safe to say anything.Long season. Very long. True, but lets be realistic. They've already beaten the 2nd best team in their division (Minnesota) on the road. The other teams in their division are Green Bay and Detroit. In the AFC they play Miami, New England, Buffalo, and the Jets. Only NE seems like they would even present a challenge for them. The only tough NFC conference game they have left is at the Giants. I just don't see them worse then 13-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Grossman hasn't proven that he can finish a season. And with him out, they are anemic on offense. They might end up 13-3, sure... but it's a very long season. Look where the Eagles were this time last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsniper1 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 We match up well with them. Skins W no matter the area code! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sackfumble Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 The only physical team(Minn) they've played had them beat if not for the late fumble.Redskins would pound the piss out of them in the trenches-like Pittsburgh and Carolina did late in the year last year.They don't run it and don't stop the run.They aren't built to win late in the year.They'll probably win a ton of games then limp out in the playoffs just like last year.

FunBunch7 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I DO believe the Bears will get home field advantage. But remember, they were home to Carolina last year and got carved up by Steve Smith and Delhomme. We are very similar to the Panthers in alot of ways and they proved they could "sove" that defense. Besides, you don't get a tougher defense than the one we played yesterday and we did them in. I would actually much rather go into Soldier Field in the playoffs than into Seattle, Carolina or Atlanta. We have proven we can win there...in the 80's, 90's and 2000's.

I'm hoping we can get at least one HOME postseason game this year! It will take winning the division to ensure that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 mark me down as a sceptic. The Bears will find a way to shoot themselves in the foot, even playing in the 2nd worst division in the NFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWinzit Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Grossman hasn't proven that he can finish a season.And with him out, they are anemic on offense. When playing, Grossman does appear to be the real deal. An injury prone Grossman is Spurriors big NFL legacy. That and f'ing up the Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasCowboyFan156 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 The Bears are the best team in the NFC right now. I'm afraid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGator Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The Bears look a lot better than last year. Unlike most teams, they have two good RB's and QB's. I think the Carolina game was a fluke and adding Ricky Manning Jr should prevent a repeat. Their DL was young last year and appears to be making major strides. It's a long season, but they seem to be built to handle injuries in most areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsciambi Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 They're good, and the rest of their schedule is ridiculously easy. I can say without a doubt they'll make it to the playoffs, and more than likely homefield advantage throughout. However, I can see it being like Indy last year. Beat up on crap teams all year, and get their a** handed to them in the playoffs cause they're not battle tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGator Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 They're OL as a whole looks very battle tested. If Grossman continues to play well and stays healthy, and they develop a consistent running game, I don't see anyone beating them down stretch this year in Soldier Field.

codeorama Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Grossman is legit, he just has to stay healthy. The Bears are an awesome team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
