[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1081553, member: 17987"] I think the Bears are probably better than a lot of people would give them credit for, but I also think they're probably not quite as good as their record would suggest, either. It kind of reminds me of the Vikings last year and their record in one-score games. That is generally not something that is super sustainable. We saw Minnesota do it over the regular season last year (even better than Chicago this year) and as soon as they got to the playoffs they were clobbered. They are a really weird team to watch. They definitely do a lot of things really well. There's no way to get around the fact that they just absolutely manhandled and ran all over Philly. At the same time, in other games, it feels like they do practically nothing right...but the other team also trips over their own feet and Chicago has consistently made the one or two deciding plays late in those games. But there's a lot of games where they've looked downright BAD for 50+ minutes and somehow come away with a win. I guess the simplest way to put it is like...if you watched a compilation tape of their season thus far but couldn't see the scores and didn't know their record, you wouldn't come away thinking "Yeah, that looks like a 9-3 football team". But here they are. I would also add one small quibble: I don't think that we "also played the slumping Eagles". I think most would argue that the Eagles "slump" (if you can call it as much) was not so much an extended slump or downturn as it was them utterly collapsing vs Dallas and having a big hangover from that. They'd just thumped the Giants by 3 scores the week before they played us. [/QUOTE]
