And fans of the other teams are just poor sports.

Not saying they arent good teams....but having bad years in 2005 gave them VERY easy schedules, thus home playoff games

Remember the Giants a couple of years back?

Here's my honest assessment. The Colts are probably gonna be favored, and rightfully so. But if the Bears are able to keep up the running game and the defense plays like it did today, they will destroy the Colts.

One thing's for sure, if the Bears do lose, I won't be blaming the officials.

They were the #2 seed in the playoffs last year.

Bears and Saints?

To clarify: The Bears were the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs last year. The Saints won 3 games.

The Bears did play a weak schedule to be sure, but this isn't college. They don't get to make their own schedule.

Don't get me wrong- assuming a win- I would not place this Bears team in the top 20 list of greatest Super Bowl teams or anything. But they are deserving of their place at the table.

We need some sort of BCS sytle computer rankings to pick the SB teams.

Gee, I don't know, looking at some of the scores on the 13 regular season wins, I would say they played well alot, not "for a change". Maybe it's just me though.

I dont BS myself on my favorite team or anyone elses
The Bears were the absolute worst 13-3 team ever.

Yes they wont those games but fully half of them were practically gift wrapped and given to them rather then games they actually won through superiour play.
Including and especially BOTH Viking games, the Jet game, and the Arizona game.
All games the Bears should have lost but had handed to them outright.

The second Viking game in looked like a contest to see who wanted to win the least rather then who wanted to win.

They have played well in the playoffs I will hand them that.
