The Peanut Guy Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I agree with alot of what you say Tom. But seriously, Grossman blows. And blows badly. I think Lovie screwed the pooch in sticking with him all year. He should have had Griese out there when it became readily apparent that Grossman couldnt cut the mustard. I dont ever see Grossman being anything but a very below average stop gap measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Flick Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm sure if you were an Indy fan, you were acutely aware of that when the 4th quarter began 22-17. Bears won ugly all year, and I'm sure that was in many Colts' fans mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears won ugly all year, and I'm sure that was in many Colts' fans mind. As someone who had the Colts -7, I was well aware of the 5 point lead and thinking it seemed like Deja Vu all over again. Even the final score didn't accurately reflect how much the Colts really outplayed the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isleseeya Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Bears have the luxury of playing in the nfc so all in all they should have a fair shot at getting back to sb , but they need an upgrade at qb to really get it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for Da Bears to win it all next year, they have to sustain a dominant defense like they had earlier in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me the proof. Not pickin' at ya IS, but where's the proof that the AFC dominated the NFC all season? Some people accept that as a given. I don't! Someone show me the proof and I'll retract, and be contrite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not pickin' at ya IS, but where's the proof that the AFC dominated the NFC all season? Some people accept that as a given. I don't! Someone show me the proof and I'll retract, and be contrite! This season, AFC teams went 40-24 during interconference play. The Bears (13-3) were no exception; until the final week of the season, their only losses had come against AFC opponents. The four NFC division champions went a combined 6-10 against the AFC, and Dallas was the only NFC team with a winning interconference record. This imbalance of power is not limited to 2006. Except for 2000, when the series was tied at 30, the AFC has had a winning record against the NFC every season since 1996. AFC teams have also won seven of the past nine Super Bowls, beginning with Denver's upset of Green Bay in Super Bowl XXXII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think the head to head regular season matchups between the AFC and the NFC have been weighted fairly heavily to the AFC in recent history. The last 10 or superbowls also tell a story, but I'll let someone who knows the stats bring them up for you. I think there were definitely more quality teams in the AFC this year and last year. I believe the road to the superbowl in the NFC is easier than the AFC. I'm not as convinced that the AFC representative will necessarily be head and shoulders above the NFC rep every year.
