Driver's seat of the NFC North and a lock to host a playoff game.Kyle Orton will not only lead the Bears to the promised land, he'll also be named "NFL OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR". With Cadillac Williams (up on blocks) and Heath Miller finishing 2nd and 3rd.Da Bears!

Nobody in the NFC North is good enough to go to the Super Bowl. I said a few weeks ago that the Bears would win the North because they have the best offensive and defensive line in their division, regardless of who plays QB for them that'll be enough to win that division.Not that the NFC has a bunch of great teams, the Bears aren't better than 1 team in the NFC East.........not 1.

The only way DA BEARS are going to the superbowl is if they get on E-Bay and buy their tickets early

Look just cause they might win their crappy division doesn't mean they are good.. Do I have to remind you about that pathetic 13-3 Bear team?? I can tell you this team is WORSE then that one.. Be realistic..

Easy there, Grid. I bleed Orange and Blue too, but I'm also realistic. We've got the Saints and Niners coming up, but after that the road gets a little rougher. Carolina, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and the Pack--twice. Say what you want about Green Bay's nightmare season, but Brettsky always seems to light us up in Soldier Field, no matter how bad they might be. And with this most likely being his last season, he'll probably want to go out with a monster bang. There's 9 long weeks left. I'm sipping the Kool Aid, but not gulping it down just yet. Stay tuned...

I disagree with you.
If the Bears beat the Raiders at home i would eat my fist. In Chicago the Bears might well win but not nearly as certainly. You cant compare the two their strength of schedules are ridiculously lopsided. Im pretty positive the Eagles and the Chiefs would beat the Bears like a drum and they only beat the Raiders by 3 and 5.The Bears would not beat the Titans in Tenn. They probably would beat the Bills in Chicago. There is no way they would have beaten Dallas, Tennessee, and Buffalo. Heck, there is no way they would have beaten Dallas.

7-2 Panthers? No problem. Totally manhandled by the Bears today. Our Offensive and Defensive lines TOTALLY dominated 'the vaunted' Panthers front four and their O-Line.So..... who's our next victim?Six in a row baby! Imagine if we had a REAL quarterback instead of this inexperienced rookie.The NFC's participant of this year's Super Bowl will be going through Soldier Field! Book it.

I would be willing to bet that last night's Vegas line on the Bears winning the SB was around 15:1. I bet it's closer to 10:1 now....(anyone know for sure?)SOLID game. Orton learns with every snap. It's not hard to imagine that in another 1.5 months, he'll be better and better and give them a real chance in January.Colin

You nailed it right onthe head with this satement:
Sooner or later he will lose a game for them, it's the Rookie curse. Bears Defense Played GREAT today.
But thier Offense has to get beter or they won't able to over come The Seahawks.
Seahawks Defesne is around middle of the road, but with Alexander running, Hasselbeck throwing and Jackson and Engram catching, that Offense will be potent and right now the NFC playoffs would go through Seattle before Chicago.
Still, nice win today.

I thought Tampa Bay was an NFC Champion contender this year.....yep....same as the Panthers.Who's our next victim?7 wins in a row! Top winning streak in the NFC.Da Bears!

And many of their wins that year came on very, very lucky plays. This year it's been pretty darn solid play that's won games for them, not so much luck.

So that missed 29 yard FG by Tampa was skill on the part of the Bears?
totally different imho. That team was similar the the Chiefs team a few years back- they both got a ton of big plays on ST and Defense that were "fluke" type plays. Both teams went 13-3. Both teams lost in their first playoff games, despite playing at home.This Bears team isn't winning with fluke plays. They are winning with one of the best defenses of all time. I find myself rooting for them, probably because of their similarity to the 2000 Ravens.

That kick still would not of won the game for TB... just overtime barring any instant scores from Chicago. Im a believer and everyone else should be to. 8-3. Wow.So that missed 29 yard FG by Tampa was skill on the part of the Bears?
very often in the NFL, its the team that doesn't make mistakes that wins the games(trust me....as a Redskins fan, I know this firsthand this year). So you can't go looking at the mistakes the losing team made and then claim that the winning team just got lucky because of those. No, the winning team won because they didn't make those same mistakes- the Bears were 2/2 on FGs.So that missed 29 yard FG by Tampa was skill on the part of the Bears?

The Bears defense is ABSOLUTELY DOMINATING!Keep in mind, this is a Bucs team that has been scoring at will the past couple of weeks.If the Bears had a legit #2WR and an above average QB, they'd have a good chance of making it to the Super Bowl. Time will tell though... I said to myself "If they can beat any of these two teams, I'll be a bigger believer in them: Carolina, @Tampa, @Pitt, Atlanta. Well, so far they've FAR exceeded my expectations.There's no questioning that there is 'luck' involved in the NFL - primarily on avoiding the injury bug. And luckily (knock on wood) the Bears defense has been intact all season long. The Bears offense did very little today against a Bucs defense that is considered 'Top 5', but has given up TONS of points the two weeks leading up to today's showdown.It's still a feather in the Bears cap to beat a playoff contender on the road. This is a season that I look for the Bears to take 'baby steps' to being a legitimate Super Bowl contender. But who knows.... As they say: "on any given Sunday".

Very very very impressed with the Bears D today. Dominating. Not sure the offense is going to be good enough to get them to the SB, but who knows. No team breaking away in the NFC this year. If I had to guess right now I'd probably say NYG/Carolina/Chi in that order. I just wouldn't trust Orton to win them a NFCCG in late January. Good team though.

No, the skill part was Alex brown stripping the ball from Simms and Harris recovering it. It was using the timeouts to get the ball back before halftime and put some points on the board. It was the sacks , deflected passes, the pressure on the QB. It was running down the clock, punting for field position, and then sacking simms to end the game. That is the skill part of it.Try to pay more attention to the game next time.So that missed 29 yard FG by Tampa was skill on the part of the Bears?

I think the Tampa victory was more lucky that the Niners victory or Cleveland victory in '01, in which Mike Brown intercepted the ball and scored in OT.The Bears actually had to DO SOMETHING to win those games, and those are the two games most people classified as 'lucky' victories.Tampa missing that 'gimme' kick from 29 yards out was pure luck. ...but I also agree there was nothing lucky about the Bears defensive domination on the sacks and turnovers this past Sunday.

It'll be amusing to pull this thread up in a little over a month...this team has one and done written all over it. Terriffic defense, given, but one of these days the total lack of offense will come back to bite you hard.
