so, are the bears going to the superbowl or what? bear fans, check in!
during the season i wavered back and forth about the bears' superbowl chances. when grossman had a good game, the bears seemed to sail. when he had a crappy game it was close but the defense usually stepped up and won it for them. special teams has put a lot of points on the board too this year and won a couple big games.

sunday was weird. grossman had a good game. he was making big plays and i saw at least two dropped passes that should have been caught while the bears were in scoring position in the second half....one was deflected for an interception. the game was too close for comfort but they pulled it out in overtime.

so, can they beat new orleans next sunday? if so, can they win the superbowl?

i think they can. if grossman doesn't bungle it, and the defense and special teams show up like they have all season, i think the bears could do it this year.

whaddaya think bear fans?

1. My feet haven't touched the ground since Sunday.
I am beside myself -- 21 years!!! I'm afraid to say Super Bowl.

Here's a little prayer my nephew wrote:

Our Papa
Who art a Bear,
Hallowed by thy fame,
Thy championship come,
Thy play be run,
At home as it is away,
Give us this day our Sunday win,
And forgive us our turnovers,
Though we pounce on those who turnover agains us, And lead us not into fourth and long, But deliver us from Brees.

In the name of Ditka, Butkus, And the Holy Payton,

As it was in 1985,

So shall it be in 2006, Reign without end.

Da Aaaamen!

4. I love it!
Your nephew is a talented writer. Mind if I share it with the Bears fans in my address book? :-)

2. The defense and special teams have to play much better than
they did on Sunday and hopefully, Bad Rex will be nowhere in sight..

I think they can beat the Saints on Sunday, but if NE beats Indy, which I think they will, the Bears will definitely be "underdogs" in the Super Bowl.

That being said though I've loved the Bears since the time of Gale Sayers and that ain't gonna change even if they lose on Sunday.

Bear Down, Chicago Bears...

Doesn't Care !!!
Has seats, the next section over from mine. Always giving me stock tips...unfortunately I don't have that much to invest! Maybe I should sell my seats (PSL's now, $27,000) and retire !?! Ha!
