YUT !!!
^ naw....no problem with what he said, it's to late and far gone for sympathy. I thought it was actually funny, but then again I'm an ***hole.
True how it worked out in 2010 with no rest, and didn't in 2011 with the bye.
But NE was the #1 seed last year and had the bye, and they made it to the Super Bowl.
The problem for us, that was different, was A) we also sat Rodgers in week 17 which was a mistake, and B) the OC's pot head, alcoholic punk kid killed himself the week of the Giants game and because there was a funeral on Friday, it took the edge, fire away from some of our guys.... maybe the whole team.
A bye is always a good thing in the playoffs even though it doesn't guarantee a win the following week.
I just wish we could dome the stadium with January weather there...!
i deleted the post i didnt want to start anything on the forum. I just wouldnt joke around bout that.^ naw....no problem with what he said, it's to late and far gone for sympathy. I thought it was actually funny, but then again I'm an ***hole.
but then again I'm an ***hole.
and all along I thought you were just a *****.
yeah, and who did we play? ok
Fact is: we don't generate a consistant pass rush without him. His absence has killed us on the D line.
It has a really good chance of happening eventually.
I would love to see it, especially being on our turf. The Seahawks are a very different team on the road compared to being at home, although the Bears never got that memo.
If I could draw up a perfect playoff scenario that has a realistic chance of happening -- we run the table, and the 49ers lose one more, we get the 2nd seed. The Seahawks end up winning their Wild Card game and we end up with a Seattle/Atlanta playoff draw.
Yes, serously......our O line has gotten worse, our pass rush in non-existant, their O line has steadily improved. Plus, they always play us tough.
We barley beat the Vikings...If they had a half way decent q.b they get Tds and not int
We face them again, Det again who we had issues with as well , the Bears too..
People are counting their footballs before they cross the goaline

with the way we are getting lucky and squeeking past other teams, I don't feel that we can win out....not with the bears coming up: at soldier field, sh!tty turf, bears home field advantage, our skeptic O line.....hate to say it, but i think the bears beat us in a couple weeks. All the other teams we can beat, if we start playing with more urgency
And by the way, it has been a non-existing pass rush.....Ponder stood in the pocket with out much scambling, Eli manning was basically untouched, ....the last time we got a good pash rush was against the Jags in week 8 and even they made that a close game.
Urlacher out for the next 3-4 games. Tim Jennings shoulder was injured as well-- not sure how serious. 3 of their last 4 games on the road.
IDK, but it seems to me that the Bears have an uphill battle.
If the Packers aren't able to hold on to the top spot, they don't deserve the post-season.
I'm not sure where anyone's Bears love is coming from. They have done nothing this year except beat a few crap teams by wide margins. Anytime they've had to play a good team, sans the colts week 1, they've been handled pretty well. I'm not saying it'll be easy, but we're much better than the Bears IMO, even in our current state.
It also didn't help that we let Peterson run for 10 YPC. That won't happen again.
Fans can look ahead....the players will be focused on Detroit.
