Yes, go Bucs!

 

I want them in the 2nd round matchup at Soldier.

[Marco4]

Obligatory 'Go Steelers!'

The Bears won in Tampa with Orton at QB. If we play Tampa, it will be in Chicago with Grossman at QB. I like our chances.

The win was also a win because Bryant shanked a sub-30 yard FG. Chicago's better with Grossman, but they were evenly matched earlier in the season.

I conveniently erased that from my memory. :P

 

Nonetheless, Grossman and Home Field advantage still both tilt the game in our favor IMO.

The only way the Bears scored was b/c Simms fumbled on the 1. Don't kid yourself into thinking the Bears are great.

I'm not saying they're great, but I do think they are better than Tampa.

Wanna put a wager on it? (if the Bucs win this week)

I'll be more than happy to wager on the playoffs.

I love this thinking. The Bears won because they FORCED the Simms fumble. It's one thing if it's 1 lucky break, but the Bears won 11 games by that same method. I can see using that excuse for losing to Cleveland, but that's the Bears m.o. You can't just assume that next time the Bears won't turn TOs into points, because they've made a habit of doing so.

[YearofDaCubs]

I think Washington will beat TB. NE over Jax. Carolina vs NY should be good. Bengals over Pitt.

[Chocolate Milk]

I agree. If it wasn't for the Bears scoring more points than the Bucs, they would have lost that game.

The Bears offense has improved from the last time we faced TB. On top of that they come to Chicago to play us which is no easy task. Our numbers (defense) at home are very good.

I understand they forced that turnover. I'm not dumb. What are the odds the Bears can force another turnover that deep in Bucs territory if they play again? Other than that series they couldn't even move the ball. Of course with Grossman playing their chances are alot better. That being said, I'm worried that the Bucs will have a tough time beating the Skins.

[rawaction]

Naw. Pitt owns the Bungals. Last game it was 41-38 Bengals, with Rothslisberger having a broken hand. If Pittsburgh doesn't turn the ball over, they will make enough defensive stops to win. My guess. 28-24 Steelers.

 

Oh, and Washington won't be Tampa either. The Ronde Barber/Santana Moss matchup will be a classic.

[B]

I agree. If it wasn't for the Bears scoring more points than the Bucs, they would have lost that game.

 

Who are you? Dan Fouts?

I don't think his point was about the defense. I think he was saying that the offense was only able to score a TD by having to go 1 yard.

 

First and foremost though, the Bucs don't have a bye, and they need to beat a hot Washington team first.

Never insinuated that you were dumb. What are the odds? I'd say slim to none that a fumble happens at the 1-yard line again. But I say the odds are pretty good that the Bears defense gives their offense a short field thanks to a turnover or two. That's all I was saying.

Yeah, and my point was that the offense didn't have to.

Um, go Colts.....................after the bye
