I'm not excusing the poor performance in the SB, obviously it's what matters most. I just think the perception has become that the offense was god awful in 06 and the defense somehow willed us to the SB. Is it possible that game changes dramatically if Manning doesn't blow his coverage?

... except the night I dropped my pants and then loudly proclaimed I was the Whore of Babylon and demanded more wine, but that's another story.

I think it was more the Bears didn't have the coaching and gameplanning ability to defeat those 49er teams.

"Rex is our quarterback." And despite how shitty he might be playing, in the most important game of the year, we're not going to have Brian Griese even warming up.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

That's fair and could be true. I really wasn't old enough to understand it.

It shouldn't, but sadly it does affect the way some would think. Ditka is treated like a God, yet he was a mediocre coach at best. Hell even Jauron was getting credit because his team was thought of as still playing hard even when they were out of it. Think about it, what coach did less with more over a five year stretch than Ditka? Bobby Cox maybe, or Marv Levy? At least Levy got to another SB. If I said to you of the two teams playing in SB XX who would get back to SB first, the Bears or the Pats? This town doesn't like to give credit to coaches other than Ditka. Phil Jackson had six rings and he's not beloved.

I hate to admit it, but we are a meatball town. Though in fairness Lovie gets no respect nationally either.

i've heard alot of people say both are bad or mediocre at best. I'm wondering how it's possible that at least one, if not both, aren't pretty good at what they do considering the bears have one of the best overall records in the league over the last several seasons

See FF, this is the level of meatballery you are dealing with.

you cant be the colts or pats simply because you dont have one of the best qb's of all time.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

spaulding how can both be bad and consistently put up a competitive team? And i'd argue the staff has certainly adapted after acquiring cutler. West i dont think race has anything to do with it and lovie would be as beloved as ditka almost with one ring

The Bears haven't had a competitive team in 2-1/2 years! Where do you get this idea that the Bears are a competitive team? Perhaps you consider .500 a competitive team.

As for Jerrys drafts, review his picks & get back to me.

Thanks for the homework assignment, but no thanks. I have no interest in proving to you that your team doesnt suck.
