@DCGoldPants Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 After the game on sunday, I realized that the bears have had the best fortune this season (not taking anything away from them). How many overtime wins? fakes that worked out just right? Will they even win their division? If they finish with the same record as GB, then they lose due to tiebreakers. I dunno folks, just seems that it'll be a Rams/Steelers Superbowl with that Damn Dome team winning. No looking forward to watching two teams I dislike so much.

Tom [Giants fan] Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 If Garcia is healthy in the playoffs, I wouldn't count the Fortyniners out of the SuperBowl. I think they can play the Rams a lot tougher than they did their last meeting. The Packers may be able to play with the Rams but I don't think they would beat them.

Tom [Giants fan] Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 I had a thought.... Anyone up for seeing another Bears/Patriots Super Bowl? Anyone know where the Fridge is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 I like the Bears. If I HAD to pick a second favorite team they would be a top candidate. But, I'm not sold on the strength of their team just yet. They could win a game but I can't see them making it to the big game. I like their style of football, though. Physical, NFC East type game.

OrangeSkin Posted December 25, 2001 Share Posted December 25, 2001 I like the Bears because of their uniforms. None of that Jaguars and Panthers crap. Their uniforms are the NFL's answer to the Yankee pinstripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Unfortunately the "real" footbal teams wont have homefield against the carpet playing team which will finesse itself to the big dance unless some one takes out the QB ------------------ Take A Sip of the Marty KoolAid and Believe.

Guest B&G Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 I've always liked the Bears and hope they do well in the playoffs. They are a very good team but not a great one, Certainly, they've made the most of thier personnel, the breaks, etc. Hope they go all the way but don't see them making it past the 2nd round.

bulldog Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 The Bears are limited by having Miller at quarterback. Of the playoff teams I see entering the postseason the Bears have the least gifted passer in the entire group. Consider: Warner, Favre, Garcia, McNabb, Brooks or Johnson. That means the Bears have to be stronger than those teams elswhere if not across the board to win. I don't think they have that clear advantage in personnel. People point to Trent Dilfer, Mark Rypien, Jeff Hostetler, etc....as good but not great quarterbacks that won the Super Bowl. True, but in their playoff matchups, these players were on teams that a CLEAR personnel edge on their opponents. The Bears are a couple of players short of having that kind of team. Struggling to beat the 6-8 Redskins 20-15, Chicago proved that they could win a game when they were not playing their best football. But that is a far cry from beating Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk in the Dome or having to travel to Lambeau to face the Packers. The quarterback will be the difference on the team that makes it to the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
