Jets vs. Steelers and Packers vs. Bears! It's Evil vs. Slightly-Less Evil and <3<3<3 A-Rodg vs. Ex-Hatcat — 2010 NFL Conference Chamionships

Yeah, I mean look at how the public views this team:

Week 1: Won on a controversial "no catch" call that will probably be changed in the rulebook this season.
Week 3: Beat the Packers on MNF in an embarassing game in which the Packers committed a franchise-record 18 penalties, negating all sorts of game-changing sacks, interceptions, and completions.
Week 4: Got destroyed by the Giants after http://c0848462.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/3d93bd2c4f3f1b33c02182fd0f20476f.png gets sacked 46 times; team actually gains NEGATIVE yardage in the first half.
Week 5: Backup QB Todd Collins throws FOUR picks, goes 6/16 for 32 yards. Luckily they are playing against the worst team in the league and they wind up winning anyway.
Week 7: http://c0848462.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/3d93bd2c4f3f1b33c02182fd0f20476f.png continues the trend by throwing four picks to the SAME PERSON.
Week 11: On a nationally televised game, the Bears win by shutting out Tyler Thigpen in one of the worst QB performances of the season.
Week 13: Rematch vs. the Lions; Bears trail most of the game but win thanks to a very sketchy "roughing the passer" call
Week 15: MNF vs. the Vikings - played after the Metrodome collapsed; the Bears knock out Favre and get to face Joe Webb (who almost nobody has heard of) the rest of the way.
Week 17: Make headlines for going "all out" to knock out their division rivals, score only 3 points
Divisional Round: Won vs. the worst playoff team ever in a game Seattle did not even appear to try to win

I mean you can't resent them for taking advantage of their opportunities but they only have one real 'signature' win (vs. Eagles) and don't rank high in anything. I think that's why most people are uncomfortable with them reaching the Super Bowl (as I recall, the 2006 SB team was kind of crap too)

Also they have literally not had a single significant injury which is mighty fortunate (and unlikely)

Good analysis, frogbs!

Beat Philly.
Beat New York Jets.
Beat Green Bay.
Make the playoffs.
Get a home game in the playoffs.
Earn a bye.
Win a playoff game.

"I mean look at how the public views this team"

I couldnt give a flying fuck how the public views this team.

damn i can't wait for the bears to stand up for cancer patients worldwide and knock the packers back to the tundra wastelands~

I'm just explaining why the public and many of the posters on this thread are so down on the team. I mean GB beat the Eagles and Jets too (and the Bears once). If Calvin Johnson's catch was ruled as such, how do the playoffs shake out? With the Bears as a 5/6 seed?

Hypotheticals are irrelevant. If a frog had wings it could fly. If my aunt had a dick she'd be my uncle. Who cares if Johnson's catch was ruled that way? it wasnt, let's decide it on the field.

My aunt had a dick that she kept in a jar on her desk. used to scare the shit outta me.

If you want to think that way, why is there any reason to discuss the game at all? Bears are 11-5 and Packers 10-6. So Bears win.

ahh man i was so excited to watch it too

we all were but we've got to move on

Atwater was incredible. Scared me to death as a Chargers fan.

not sure if this is for here or the offseason thread or wherever but wtf?.

i mean, no problem except that parcells was a paid-employee of a division rival at the time.

Never was quite sure what Parcells was doing for the Dolphins in the first place. Now i guess i know, strengthening their division rivals.

nice

carefully worded!

"do" "stuff"

i like to mix it up
i like to do stuff

LOL I am a guy. This may make you not want me to "do" some of the "stuff" you're thinking about

does he start slow? (but then beat it up?)

don't think there's anything wrong w/ what parcells did, I think everyone should work towards good people getting coaching jobs and that should be considered outside of any rivalry. you want to win cause you had the best team on the field, not because you beat poorly managed and coached teams.

I put all my chips ($10) on Pittsburgh in my friend's big playoff pool, because I can't bet against the Bears. This week I am a Steelers fan.

"The speakers who came next — including Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Senator Charles E. Schumer..."

I'm sure these werent the only fools at this Times Square rally who were on the Giants bandwagon just a short three years ago.

if the super bowl ends up being steelers vs packers/bears, it's a damn shame that they've got to play it in that jones supervillain lair and not in a snowy outdoor stadiu,.

m

it'd be great if steelers-bears happened and it was a total shootout

otm xp

our choices for super bowl qbs are

sleazy rapist
dreamboat w/skills
misanthropic diabetic with a cannon arm
an idiot

dreamboat w/skillz 4 lyfe <3

lol "an idiot"

now you barely know mr sanchez

I just realized omar could be pulling a Morbz and saying Sanchez is the dreamboat w/skillz.

Requesting formal clarification, omar.

tbh i thought of http://c0848462.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/3d93bd2c4f3f1b33c02182fd0f20476f.png first
