... that 2010 is the year in which the football gods are smiling upon the Bears. What are the chances of facing the Vikings:

- without Brett Favre; AND
- without Tarvaris Jackson; AND
- without Adrian Peterson.

The Bears have played 2 "away" games that weren't at the home teams' home stadium.
They beat Det on a fortuitous call
The one game they had a serious injury (Cutler) was at Carolina, possibly the worst team in football
They played against Miami's 3rd string QB and without Marshall
They played against Philly, minus Asante Samuel and Juqua Parker
They played against Detroit's 3rd string QB
They played against Minn, minus Favre, AD, and Hutchinson

To recap, their last 3 away games have been against third string QB's. They have 2 players on IR, neither significant. I can't stand the Bears.

False. We beat ourselves. Of course it all looks the same in the loss column so it doesn't really make any difference.

You're right, but then again, the Bears have faces 4 or 5 3rd string QB's. They've played well, but they've definitely had some breaks.

Maybe, but the Bears are beating teams they should be beating. Packers, not so much.

(That Detriot loss still bugs the hell outta me)

Right, he did. I just know I'd be about 1000% more confident going against 3rd string QB's then I would going against starters.

Still, Green Bay has squandered so many opportunities this year. The 2 - 10 Leos with a third string QB is the worst of it. That loss is really what has put this season in danger.

bears have only outscored their opponents by a total of 51 points this year. that includes the 26 point blowout last night

green bay has scored 113 more points then their opponents

yet the bears have one 2 more games

our offense has scored more and our defense has allowed less then the bears

Aren't they 4-10? :)

I'll agree. The Packers had a terrible game vs. the Lions. Their DL whipped us up front but GB blew at least 4 scoring opportunities.

That same 3rd string QB had a much better game vs the Bears and the Bucs than vs the Packers D. Not that it matters much, really.

Following this line of thinking, our finale against Chicago should be a cake walk...?

I'd say Detroit's defense beat us, and that there's no stigma in that. Good team.

It's the special teams. They win the close game we lose because their special teams give them that extra while ours gives the other team alittle extra.

But Green Bay's special teams outplayed the Leos' special teams in that game.

They're not sexy, not at all. I don't think they have the type of star power to be a real SB team, but they don't beat themselves, they're healthy adn they'er good. They'll make it to the NFCC game I think. I don't see them being able to beat ATL.

The Packers got beat by the Lions.....they sucked and the Lions won. Bottom line.

So why are the Bears charmed and the Pack cursed? Jim McMahon wearing his Bears' jersey to the White House after the 96 Super Bowl?

Because the roles were reversed in 2007. Good fortune smiled on the Packers that year, the Bears not so much.

Coaches have said it doesn't matter who you play as much as it matters when you play them.

I see at least three teams in the NFC, maybe four or five, who should beat the Bears if they face them in the playoffs: Atl, Philly, NO, GB (if Rodgers is healthy) and NYG (if they can pull themselves off the mat after last Sunday's collapse). No way does Chicago make it to the NFCCG. Of course I would have said the same about them winning the NFCN up until a few weeks ago!

The Bears are who the football gods thought they were. If you want to crown their ass, then crown 'em, but they are who they thought they were, and they let 'em off the hook.

I believe that a team take care of their own business; Packers aren't that elite - all the way from coaches to incomplete units. ST is still among worst in the league, offense is great...sans OL and no really good backup RB which concludes that our offense is overrated. Defense is good enough for championship games.

Bears are more complete - sad but true. In a way I'm thankfull that such teams do preveil in the end (I'm selectively forgetting it's the Bears) :lol:
