2010 Bears

[The Bogey Man]

Whooops... Was thinking of a few things at once there. ahahaha

Not to worried about the Bills

Like to the Giants get that number six seed instead of the Packers or the Bucs.

Way to go Saints on last nights game.

[pdga#7648]

I'll apologize to you Michler, but also to all Bears fans. They are at least the #2 seed, could still be #1 if Atlanta doesn't show up against Carolina.  And the Bears look very good offensively, which is where I am most suprised considering the have all NO NAME WR's except Olsen at TE.  Still, Cutler is due for one of his 3INT games, maybe it comes Sundat @ Green Bay??


I know they went there and lost back when Bears went to Superbowl vs Indy, but I think with all his weapons and a Healthy P. Thomas, the Saints could very easily go to Chicago and get a win. If not, then the Bears could go to Atlanta and win. Anything can happen in a dome. And as you all know, I have been wrong before 

[Sr.]

As a Bears fan I accept your apology Doug. But will you apologize if Cutler doesn't throw those three interceptions you said he will throw against the Packers? I think Cutler has been looking pretty damn good to come to that conclusion!

[pdga#7648]

I didn't say he will Randy, I said he is due for 1 of those games.  If I were a Bears fan, I would hope its Sunday, and not in the playoffs!

But yes, he has looked good. 

[Sr.]

I think the only way he throws 3 interceptions is if the offensive line doesn't pass block well. Lately they have been pretty good at protecting Cutler. But I will admit that this game scares me Doug. If the Bears don't come out with the killer instinct, they will be golfing faster than they wanted in 2011.

[CEValkyrie]

I am shocked by the way this season has gone. A 2nd seed bye is unbelievable.

We'll see what Lovie does. We'll find out if his beat that Packers statement is true. I'd love to beat the Packers a 2nd time but this game means nothing to us. There is no reason to risk injury in this game.

[Dan Michler]

I agree with Brett.  The last thing we need is an injury in this game that is now meaingless (unless Atlanta somehow loses to Carolina.....which is a longshot).

Looking ahead, we could be facing the Eagles, Rams, Seahawks, or Saints in that 2nd round game.  If the Eagles could lose to the 6 seed (Pack or NYG), and the Saints lose on the road to the Rams/Seahawks, that would certainly be the optimal situation.  Nothing like facing a .500 team for a shot at the NFC title game.  Getting to the NFC title game would be a successful season.  If we have to head into Atlanta for a game, we'd definitely be underdogs.  If the Pack gets in, I'd actually love to see them beat the Eagles and Atlanta, then head to Chicago for a Green Bay @ Chicago NFC Championship game.  Anything is possible once the playoffs start, as the Giants demonstrated in 2007.

[Sr.]

I agree with both of you. I would like to see them rest everybody but it's not going to happen. It seems every time someone tries to not get hurt they do. That's the biggest worry of this game. Wild card teams seem to wreek havoc with no rest. I think Carolina won as a wild card team if I'm not mistaken. So it would be cool to see them go all out and put a cherry on top of this season!

[Tom McManus]

So far it has been a successful season for the most vocal fans on this forum. Steelers, Bears, and Packers all make the playoffs. Now it is a new season, it will be interesting to see what happens.  Hopefully the Packers can get past the Eagles.  The dream match up would be Packers Bears in the NFC Championship, then the winner would take on the Steelers.  That is a long ways away, but one can hope.

[Dan Michler]

NFC:

I wouldn't be in total shock if Seattle defended their home turf and defeated the Saints.  But certainly you have to expect the Saints to step up in that game and find a way to win.

I think the Packers will beat the Eagles setting up:

Atlanta vs. Green Bay
Chicago vs. New Orleans

AFC:

I like Kansas City, but not enough to take them over the more experienced Ravens.  Next year KC could be a contender.  That Jets/Colts game should be fun to watch.  It just hasn't been Indy's year, so I'm going to predict a Jets victory setting up:

Patriots vs. Jets
Steelers vs. Ravens

Those are 2 very enticing matchups.  The Jets looking for revenge after the shellacking they took on Monday night last month.

[pdga#7648]

If anyone will beat the Patriots, it will be Kansas City. Too many ex coaches and players in KC.  The cheaters wont have an edge if that matchup happens.


Indy over the Jets, then Indy losses @ Pitt(Manning is terrible outside in cold weather)
K.C. over Baltimore (the running game will run on Balt) then can't wait to watch KC @ Patiots



Pack over Eagles, then lose to Atlanta
Saints over Seahawks, then they go Chicago and beat the same Cutler that played yesterday( total of 3 points, and starters played entire game)


Saints  VS   Patriots


but yes, what a great season for all the trash talkers here. all of our teams stepped up. Now which team lasts longest??   

[pdga#7648]

great game Seattle.

great news for all you Bears fans if Green Bay can beat Philly.  That would set up Seahawks @ Bears

[The Bogey Man]

Da Bears!

Some great playoff predictions Doug.

hahaha, maybe the Eagles will win just to make Doug wrong.

[Dan Michler]

Can't wait for Bears/Seahawks next week!

[pdga#7648]

wow, 1 home team won, and it's the one nobody gave a chance to win.



Didn't the Bears lose to Seattle this year??

[The Bogey Man]

Si 23-20 i believe.

[Dan Michler]

Didn't the Bears lose to Seattle this year??

Actually I did give Seattle a chance if you review my prediction above.



Didn't the Steelers lose to the Jets, Ravens, and Patriots this year (every AFC team left)?

[pdga#7648]

yes, they lost to Balt with Batch as their QB, but won with Ben at QB(Flacco is 0-4 vs Pitt when Ben is the QB)
yes, lost to Jets without Polamalu ( hope they do beat Patriots)

and yes, lost to Patriots,  but we did score more points 26 than the Bears did 7.

and the Bears have lost to Seattle, and Packers( 2 of the 3 NFC teams left)  and would not beat Atlanta.



but I will try to redeem myself after that pathetic 1-3 1st week


Jets go to Foxboro and lose again. wont be the beating they took last time, but still lose.
Balt goes to Pitt, and as usuall it is a very close game, but Flacco can't beat Pitt when Ben is the QB (0-4)

Pitt can't go to New England and win, so unless Brady gets hurt, Pats will be playing in the bowl.




Atlanta and Green Bay will be a shootout, well it could be. I like Green Bay to pull the upset here.
The Bears better be able to beat the worst team left in the playoffs.  If not, I was right about this team once again.


If the Bears do win, I like Packers to demolish them on their home turf.
To set up Packers VS Patriots. With a healthy Rodgers, they might give the Pats a game, considering they almost beat them with Flynn as the QB.
