    I'm getting that feeling again...like this might that special year. Think about the spacing between Bear Champions. 1943, 1963, 1985...2006? About 20 years between each. Just about that time for our next championship.

    Only things I've ever seen at Soldier Field were the Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead shows Thats not a bad alternative, either.

    This will be my 7th Bears game this year. 6 @ home and the Giants game. My Record is 6-0 and the Bears have won the games I've attended by a combined score of 224-81 and an average score of 37-14. I think we got this one in the bag. 8-) woot :lol: you should have attended the Dolphins game.

    I still haven't been to a game at new Soldier Field. You guys are lucky.

    Alexander would have to start running strong before he can continue running strong. An average of 105 yards per game since coming back from his injury is nothing to laugh at. If that was his average, maybe you'd have a point, but it's not. Besides, he's only rushed for that much twice in the 8 games since he's been back, and he's averaged just 3.69 yards per attempt. You confused me by this... perhaps I miss calc'd ? As Soul mentioned, those numbers are elevated due to his 200+ against GB and SD. That being said, he isn't the RB he was last year and Hasselbeck is an average QB right now. I have a gut feeling the Bears will win and could win big, However... IF, and it is a BIG if, Hasselbeck finds his stuff, that opens up Alexander to have a nice game. Just a thought.... And we all know you would thoroughly enjoy that. Thanks for coming.

    Alexander would have to start running strong before he can continue running strong. An average of 105 yards per game since coming back from his injury is nothing to laugh at. Mostly that is 2 games, GB & SD, where they ran him 40 and 31 times respectively. All the other games he was below 100 yards: SF, DEN, ARI, SF (again), TB.... He's still a great back, but he clearly hasn't been the same this year. Word is he was limping last week too. Now that I've said it I'm sure he'll torch us for 150 :wink: While our pass defense has declined since the Vikings game, our running defense has been pretty stout. Boone+Scott is a nice little combo to stop the run, HORRIBLE rushing the passer though.

    What's his contract situation? I believe it was very team friendly when he signed, and he didn't have a crazy bonus that would make a trade nearly impossible. Ideally Grossman has a great postseason run, and some team wants both Griese and Jones for a couple mid round picks. Then draft a QB and RB with those picks and save your regular picks for defensive help and O line. It would be funny if Tampa tried to get them both back. Jones' contract is up after next season. I'd really like to see the roles switched next year, with Benson getting most of the carries and Jones getting 5-10 a game. Absolutely agreed on my part. Benson is the type of RB you want on this team, and not the boom-bust type player that Thomas Jones is.

    I should hope we score more points than that. I'll take any win this weekend. Even a 1-point, total-luck, whole-country-knows-you-should-have-lost, win. JUST DO NOT LOSE. Oh, I totally agree. I don't even care if the reffs hand it on a platter to us like they have so many times to other teams this year. I just expect our team to put up more than 17 points.

    If they don't win this playoff game I will take it personally and it will ruin my whole year.

    Hardly http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/features/writers/expert/picks What is encouraging is that accuscore.com ran the simualation of this game 10,000 times and the Bears won an outstounding 78% of the time. That's talking about the spread. I'm talking about everybody picking the winner, and they all seem to be picking the Bears. Why does this concern you? I doubt the Bears are getting full of themselves over it considering the tremendous amount of criticism they have endured lately. Urlacher today was talking about how they were the "Worst 13-3 team ever." They can't be any worse than the 2001 Bears which also went 13-3. In fact, those Bears were pretty average and lucky to go 13-3 at all.

    I have that same feeling about the Bears-Seahawks matchup :lol: BEARSBEARSBEARSBEARSBEARSBEARS p.s. does your signature have to be so obscenely huge? not if you block it hey now, why you gotta be ruining everyone elses signature fun because you got a big one? i can't block yours without blocking everyne elses.

    I know how you feel, I don't know how I'm going to survive till Sunday. Lets get it overwith already! Does anyone know where I can find some good Bears Wallpapers? The main site has some really really lame ones.
  15. BigSlick
    yeah its not quite as good as the first one. there is plenty of bear stuff on that site if you look at the rest of the articles. they seem to rip every team to shreds.

    That's what I told your mom last nite, Trebek! Anal Bum cover for 500 please. But seriously now, I can't really care about that even though our next opponent is coming out of it.
  18. BigSlick
    No, but this is: http://kissmesuzy.blogspot.com/2007/01/rachel-nichols-ill-let-you-inside-my.html Its a new article about Sexy Rexy and his throwgasm. Everyone has to thank me immediately.

    Ugh, it looks like Indy has a good shot of overcoming Baltimore and then going onto the AFC championship. Lame. Baltimore hasn't really been that impressive all year, I really hope they show up for this one. New England vs. San Diego is just a great match up, one for the ages. Its a shame its a divisional playoff game. Philadelphia New Orleans? Who cares. BORING.

    I don't know if I should watch this at home, or drive early and watch it from my dorm room. My only friend that I have left here in Chicago is a Seahawks fan. :?
  21. BigSlick
    No doubt that the Seahawks have been hurt by injuries far more than us. They are basically on reserve with their WR and DB corps. Hasselbeck may be fighting and injury and so may Alexander. I'll watch Alexander closely though, he may be explode with something huge. Or...he might just be really injured and bad.

    Mark Schlereth is the biggest [expletive] moron to ever hold a job in ESPN. I honestly think some Bear defensive tackle rolled up his leg one year, because there is absolutely NO reason why he hates on the Bears so much. I really think ESPN hates on the Bears so much because they are so angry at Rex Grossman for not becoming the anointed saviour they all predicted he was after the first 5 games this year. I mean...we still aren't a dissapointment and yet they are angry at us. It really is absurd. 13-3 and they rip on us all the time. Top 3 in both points scored and points allowed.
  23. BigSlick
    We'll agree to disagree. Albert Belle has just as good a case as Ron Santo does.
  24. BigSlick
    Oh come on guys, Hinrich is really the leader of this team. Bulls on a 1-3 skid, not good. Rough stretch of opponents coming up.
  25. BigSlick
    Eh? Basically a wash. Chris harris always seemed to me like he had the talent to play, but not quite the mind to play as a good safety. Todd Johnson is...eh as well. I keep hearing that Danieal Manning is consistently out of position. I'm not qualified to say yes or no on the subject, plus its hard to see downfield with the cameras always pointing at the quarterback as he drops back, so if anyone wants to weigh on this, please do.
