*** 2006 Chicago Bears Thread *** (1 Viewer)

I have to laugh at this post from every angle.The Bears luck one out and their fans rally around saying that they "figured out a way to win". C'mon we all know better. They played well on defense, but they were exposed on offense as trying to be the Rams.However, to suggest that they won't/can't win a playoff game simply because you have been waiting for a reason to attack them is just as inane. To say that they aren't a strong team has little to do with being reasonable and everything to do with just not likin them as a taem, which is okay, it just doesn't hold water.Look at the teams that are going to beat Chi in the playoffs. I may be mistaken, but every team on that list as as many or more issues as Chicago has. They are all good teams though and have a great chance of winning it all, just like the Bears.For those defending and arguing with this post I ask that you see it for what it is. A personal opinion fromw someone who dislikes the Bears and wants to stir up controversy. This is not empirically based and has no validity. Call me when you have something pertinant to say rather than just angry, unfounded rhetoric.
Fantastic Post. I knew I would read a quality post sooner or later.
 
Are Bear fans concerned that in the process of "finding a way to win," the Bears defense, possibly the greatest of all time, allowed the Cards to march down the field very easily?

 
Jets fan here, since some think that's relevent.

Bears are a tough team that got caught looking ahead past the Cards. They got bailed out by their defense -- like all last year.

That's what happens when you have a strong team -- one thing falls apart, another picks the slack up. Did they dodge a huge bullet when Rackers choked? Sure they did.

But those turnovers gave them the lead. Hell I'm impressed with the Cards and Leinart for overcoming that defense in the last two minutes and veing in the position to win.

Given how the Bears D played in the 2nd half, that's impressive.

As for the playoffs - if Grossman can stay consistent and the offense maybe balances the pass and run more - I think they will be dangerous come playoff time.
Looking ahead to WHAT??? Seriously. They have a Bye followed by home games against SF and Miami. That was by FAR their toughest game for almost a month, and they were looking past it? I wonder what are they going to do against their lowly first round playoff opponent.

:lmao:
What does that say about your Packers who, if memory serves me correct, had a hard time marching past midfield?
:confused: We all know the Packers suck. Very weak attempt, Limpy. :lmao:
Another stellar rebuttal from our resident Packer apologist, Fla\/\/ed :mellow: Weak attempt? I think we all knew, or at least thought, that the Cardinals sucked too. Didn't we. So how is that different than the Packers?And wasn't it Brett Favre, about 2 weeks before they played the Bears, that stated this was the most talented Packer team he's ever been on?So maybe, just maybe, not everyone knew the Packers sucked

Once again the Bears have been exposed. Just like in '01/'02 and '05/'06 a gaudy regular season record based on a weak schedule, weak division, and fluke victories will result in a swift dismissal from the playoffs. :bye: Bears.
How about a little perspective.Please take a stroll with me down memory lane. We will travel back to 1985. It’s half time of the first game of the season with the Tampa Bay Bucs playing the Bears in Chicago. The Bucs are killing the Bears 28-17. The Bears defense looks awful. The announcers are going on and on about how the Bears losing the two hold outs Todd Bell and Al Harris have changed the dynamic. Bears fans must be wondering for after the promise of 2004 this doesn’t look good at all. Steve “freaking” DeBerg has thrown 3 TD’s in the first half but the big story is RB James Wilder who is indeed running wild. 13-105 and a TD. The Bear defense can’t do anything right. Of course we all know how that ended.Back to the present. Yep the Bears stunk up the place for the most part Monday night. Yep they deserved to lose and got lucky. But them overlooking a fired up Cardinal team driven by possibly the next Dan Marino type rookie QB. Well I just say you can’t put too much stock in this. Just like we can’t put too much stock in the Bears total destruction of Seattle. Anybody think the Cardinals destroy Seattle when they show up in the desert? Didn’t think so.I have been onboard the Lovie Smith express since day one. I made a ton betting on the Bears winning the division last year when the odds were huge against them. I believed in them big time then, and was proven right. I believed in Rex Grossman and Bernard Berrian before this season started, and they have helped my fantasy teams a bunch.But. I’ve been laying low this season. I hated all the talk the last week or so, too crazy and too early. If I were to draw the plan up on paper I couldn’t have conceived this Monday night game any better. The Bears got punched in the nose and received a huge reality check. But they showed great character and still won the game. Yes they got lucky, but had they not dug deep they would have never been in position to benefit from the luck. The thing I have always loved about Rex is he is not so stubborn as to learn from his mistakes. I believe this game was a great lesson learned and he will be much better for it.I do believe the Bears are a strong contender for the Super Bowl. But it’s a long way off and lots of work to be done. They are not head and shoulders above the other good teams in the league, but they are a part of that group and if you doubt that, put your money against them. I will be putting mine on them.This story has only just begun. Stay tuned...

:lmao:
ohhh okaaeeyyy :rolleyes: You seem to have forgotten that the Bears defense, possibly the greatest of all time, is averaging giving up 243 yds a game, 2nd best in the league, and have 17 takeaways, tied for best in the league with baltimore.i think it's ok to give up 300 yds in a game every now and then.you still have no argument. the bears played their worst game of the year, and won. and they're the only team that's 6-0.you can be quiet now :)

I admire and respect this reply. Nice job. :thumbup: Limpy had to resort to bringing up the Packers.
 
It is funny how all Flawed did was this :lmao: and now Limp Ditka is a raving lunatic. :lmao:
When you have something to add, feel free to. Until then ####
There's no need to add anything. It's fun watching you meltdown over a smilie. :banned:

I really don't see anything that qualifies as "raving lunatic" when it comes to my responses to Fla\/\/ed.Its the asses like Stinger Ray who couldn't form an opinion if their life depended on it, yet feel free to chime in, that allow me to show myself in a less than flattering light.But to each their own.

Could have been looking ahead to a bye week to rest. Could have been thinking, hey here's an easy week - the Cards suck, then we have a bye, then we cruise through SF and pummel Miami. We'll be looking good...Even the best teams get caught thinking too far ahead and not just for a week. I agree with whomever said it was good to have that wake-up call now before it happened against a better team. They'll come to play from here on out.

Sounds like you think I'm putting them down or something when it's far from the case.

 
Which team do you think?

My guess-

The Giants. They finally got their pass rush going last week and wow did they with 7 sacks. Strahan had none so they still have to get him going. IF Shockey's 2 TDs were the start of him getting himself together too then they have the weapons on O to give that D a good test and the pass rushers to force Rex to make errors under duress.

So far-

Bass-Jets

@ New England Nov. 26th

- It will be the Bears third consecutive road game

- The Pats can spread the Bears defense out much like the Cardinals did on MNF

- The Bears have a potentially big match-up the following week with divison rival Minnesota

 
Teams that would win in Chicago come playoff time:PhillyDallasNYGCarolinaNew OrleansSeattleSt Louis
:fishing:
ok maybe not St Louis but everyone else is a lock
Yeah, your right, New Orleans is a lock to win its 1st playoff victory EVER on the road in Chicago. Can I have some of what you are smoking please?
New Orleans won a playoff game 5 years ago. Next.
He said ON THE ROAD. Reading skills down?
Correct me here if I'm wrong, but the win was on the road against the defending Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams.
 
I dont think spreading the Bears D hurt as much as having the 1-1 matchup with A Bolden.

IMO The next team with the talent at the WR position to do that strategy would be @NYG with Plax.

NE may win too, but IMO it would be due to their defense, definetely not a WR mismatch.

Playing at St Louis is a tough place to win, period.

And don't look past the Vikings (who IMO are underrated at this point in the season) or the Jets (who play well at home).

Alot of teams can win - I think the Giants will be their toughest test though - then STL.

I think the Bears will match up well with NE.

 
Assuming they can beat the 9ers and Fins (which, after being exposed last Mon, is no sure thing) they will not msake it past the Giants. Giants are definitely a better team than they are. Luckily for the Bears their schedule is padded with awful teams to boost their record

 
themselves.......if grossman ever gives the ball away 6 times again.
ding ding ding ... you're the weiner!when they lose, they'll definitely do it to themselves, but if i have to pick, i'll go with the patriots. it's the third away game in a row & the pats will be prepared.my 2nd choice is at st louis week 13 ... if they are 12-0 going into an away game monday night football, it'll be scary similar to the 85 bears run

:lmao: Yeah,Lucky for the Bears that they play such an easy schedule, now that they've been "exposed". Otherwise they'ld be lucky to win another game this year. :rolleyes: Heck maybe you're right they must be a bunch of frauds just waiting to be exposed for the no talent, smoke and mirrors, 'lucky' team that they really are. I mean c'mon they ALMOST lost a game, can you believe it? The worst 6-0 team in the history of the N-F-L? :sarcasm: Enjoy the rest of the 2006 NFL season Wilked - If the Bears going 6-0 brings out this kind of reaction in you now, then the next 21 weeks will be particularly painful for you to endure. :yes:
 
lmao at the Bears homers...if you cannot admit that the schedule is padded, you are even more blind than you seem :lol:

 
I dont know who they will lose to , but if Grossman does nt shape up ( i know it s only one game but it s scary the way he played . Its like he went back to is old self ) they will lose 3 or 4 games

#1 - I could have sworn they pay players on both sides of the ball to play.#2 - There is not really that much of a difference beween #1 and #32 in the NFL. Not as much as you seem to think. These are all NFL players and are all capable of putting it together at anytime.#3 - I'm guessing you didn't think the Bears were very good before the season either. Hence, you are most likely of the people who won't believe the Bears are any good unlesss/until they win the Superbowl, and even then you will likely be some of the first to say it was luck and they won't be any good next year.#4 - True, the schedule is easier than most of the NFL. But some teams gets an easy schedule each year. Last year it was Seattle. That doesn't mean they automatically win the Superbowl. But as I keep saying in other threads, healthy teams do well in the playoffs and the Bears will be dangerous come playoff time. To deny they will be a tough playoff opponent is like alot an ostrich putting its head in the sand to avoid danger. You are only seeing what you want to see.Bears will make the playoffs with 2 games at home and healthy. Chances are they are on the road the Superbowl XLI.I still think the first loss will be at the Giants. Anyone know when the last time the Bears won a game there was? Same with St Louis - anyone?

After last week, I predict the Bears will lose to SF. Unless they are smart and start running the damn ball more. I'd like to see about 50 carries against SF.

They beat the Giants @ Giants stadium the last time they played there. 2 yrs ago I believe. Killed Warner

SF offense can score some points, but their defense is terrible. Rex also had a bad game at Minnesota, but he bounced back just fine. This is basically his rookie season, as far as playing time goes, and he is going to have more good and bad games. How many good or great QB's have had a bad game?? it happens.
