Your 2010 NFL Thread

There's one possibility I really like...

Falcons, Bears, Eagles, NFC West winner, Saints, Giants

First round: Saints beat the NFC winner, Eagles beat the Giants (Again)

That sets up Saints-Falcons and Bears-Eagles. Either the Saints will have beaten the Falcons in Atlanta once (So they know they can do it again) or the Falcons will have to beat New Orleans three times in a season (Very hard to do). I like the Saints either way, and for some reason Atlanta teams struggle in their respective postseasons whether it is the Falcons, Braves, Hawks, Yellow Jackets, yada yada yada. As for Eagles-Bears, the Bears have had Vick's number through his entire career (He's never won as a starter against the Bears) and the Eagles have had some injuries to that defense.

So, if the Bears win that one, then that sets up Bears-Saints at Soldier Field in a repeat of 2006.

You know what's even harder than beating a team 3 times in one season?

Beating a team that has already beaten you twice.

I know people like to cite the "it's hard to beat a team 3 times in a year" cliche, but it's actually not true.

Teams that have won the first two meetings are 12-7 in the third meeting.

I kind of have to wonder though, if everyone but us (Bear fans) doesn't think the Bears are that good - isn't it probable that we're the ones that are wrong?

It could be that we're the ones that are wrong. But we could be 98,891 kinds of wrong and the Bears could be the shittiest Super Bowl Champion in history and that would be great.

As a non-Bears fan speaking here, I don't think that any other NFC team is clearly better than the Bears.

Other than the Patriots, there doesn't seem to be any team in the league that the Bears couldn't compete against.

Oh, how humiliating. My memory failed me, for some reason I thought the Giants had beaten Philly in the first matchup. My mistake.

And yet Fro would still be wronger.

You couldn't have said it better.

Here's my question.  If you can move a dresser drawer full of pennies all by yourself, why do you think a mob with torches and pitchforks couldn't do it?

Maybe. But the stats just don't bear up that the Bears are much worse than the rest of those teams. Especially not in the second half. I tend to side with them. Also, considering I heard media members say shit like "I'll eat my laptop if the Bears win the division.." in 2005 or watched every pundit on ESPN choose both the Seahawks and the Saints in the 2006 playoffs, I have to just assume that they don't like the Bears. The problem especially is that the Eagles are a compelling story, the Giants are a New York team, and the Saints and Falcons were expected to be good before the season, and they like nothing more than being right. Gun to my head I wouldn't say the Bears will win the Superbowl this year, but I'm just not seeing what it is in the other NFC teams that makes the Bears some kind of second tier team.

And MY perfect scenario is this:

Falcons 1 seed
Bears 2 seed
Giants vs. Eagles
Saints vs. NFC West Team after Drew Brees is concussed (sorry Breesus) and the world discovers that Chase Daniel is his back up.

then Giants vs. Falcons, NFC West Team vs. Bears
Then Bears go to the dome and win with 11 seconds left after an amazing TD throw to the corner of the end zone. Lovie decides to squib it to be safe, and we all count our millions.

Here's my question.  If you can move a dresser drawer full of pennies all by yourself, why do you think a mob with torches and pitchforks couldn't do it?

In this scenario I had ample time before the mob read my comments and motored over to my place of residence. Also, I had a really helpful dolly in my room.

Damnit, I put an 'o' where there should be an 'a'.  I still don't know what Ferrara Pan is, though.
