Next joker please... 1266810[/snapback] Not only that, he missed several quarters over the season, the Bears also ran Peterson and Benson, plus defenses could stack the box every play. Bears running game has been wildly underestimated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next joker please... 1266810[/snapback] You must have forgotten Orten's passing numbers To compare Thomas Jones with Tomlinson... Well, no comment needed Not to burst your bubble, but the Bears are in the playoffs because they are in a horrible division. While I hope they win today, they are lucky to be in the playoffs with such a horrible offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I hope they win today, they are lucky to be in the playoffs with such a horrible offense. 1266818[/snapback] 6 wins were from outside the division, including Carolina, Tampa and Atlanta. The loss against Washington was by only 2 points, the loss against the Vikings was because we didn't send a team and the loss against Cleveland was totally self-inflicted. Only Cincinatti and Pittsburgh have beaten the Bears convincingly this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT2 will be watching Jones play today from his couch! 1266822[/snapback] Well for Starters, how about 23 Touchdowns. LJ, Tiki and a host of others will be watching from their couch as well. It doesn't mean they are not better than Jones. Boldin, Fitzgerald, C Johnson & Co. will be "watching" today as well. I know... Muhammad is better than those guys as well. I guess Orten/Grossman are better than Palmer, Brady, and everyone else since they'll be watching. Enjoy it while it lasts But, I'd like to see it continue. I usually like the underdogs.

ebartender Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I am rooting for the Bears to win the NFC, however their schedule wasn't exactly full of defensive juggernauts: Detroit, Minnesota, and Green Bay twice San Fran, New Orleans, Atlanta, Cleveland 11 of their game were against teams that were in the bottom half of the league in rushing defense.

No. Are they fortunate to be playing today? Yes. Will they have a winning record next year? No. It would be nice for a bad team to go another round. That's all I'm saying.

Chavez Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 i'm saying the competition is gonna get stiff in their division, with the upgrades the in the HC position the division will see... 1267072[/snapback] Mike McCarthy and Brad Childress are NOT upgrades at the HC position. Detroit may upgrade over Marriucci, but given Millen's track record so far, I wouldn't put money on it. That division is Chicago's for the next 3 or 4 years.

Chavez Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Chicago has an offense, it's just one dimensional. 1266812[/snapback] Word. Chicago's problem is that IF (and Ursa is correct, the Bears running game has been VERY effective this year) the Panthers stop Chicago's run game, the Bears haven't proven than can do anything throwing the ball. And the playoffs are not the ideal time to find out how good your passing game may or may not be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Thomas Jones must be as good as LT since they had the same yards. That's why Tampa dumped him for Cadillac....because Jones is so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That division is Chicago's for the next 3 or 4 years. 1267084[/snapback] perhaps not, but the teams will be better. they have only one direction to go. I should say though, I retract my statement saying they don't have a winning record next year. I feel they will, but I think it will be a very competive division. Anybody is an upgrade in MIN, Tice couldn't keep that team in line if he wanted to. Too much talent on that team to dismiss them. I see MIN stealing the division next year.
