As a Bears fan (speaking only for myself here) if there hadn't been so many injuries you better believe the Bears would have been a good playoff pick. Realistically though, there's always next year. HOWEVER, there are such things as miracles (or in the case of some of those Californians. . . fantasies. ) Behind those Bears now and forever !

<Some people like watching their team get massacred twice??? I am a <big Bears fan, and I think they probably are head and shoulders better <than the rest of the teams this year. The real question seems to be <(my opinion) who's second best? However, having lived in Chicago for <the last 22+ years (until March 1, 1985), I know better than to expect <them to win it all. They will probably do an el-foldo in the SuperBowl, <like the Illini did in the Rose Bowl a few years ago, the Cubs did 2 <years ago, and the White Sox did 3 years ago. However, the Bears <are real young and they have beyond a shadow of a doubt been the best <football team in the NFL over the last two years (they were one game <away from the SuperBowl last year). I think I know what you mean by "over the last two years", but I hope you're not saying they were better than SF last year. I'm sort of indifferent to the Niners as a fan, but they were as far above the rest of the league last year as the Bears have been this year - and they didn't do any el-foldos (I don't think the Bears will either). <And they are doing it without 2 <ProBowl players on their defense from last year (contract hold outs). I think they are doing just FINE with the guys they've got. By the way, who are the two you're referring to? <Just remember, the Bears will play all of their playoff games at home <in January in Chicago. Boy are they gonna be tough. By the way, <last year on SuperBowl Sunday, it was 80 Degrees BELOW ZERO with the <wind chill in Chicago, while it was a sunny and warm 72 here in <the San Fransisco Bay area. You have GOT to be kidding - it was in the low 40's and misting! <One last thing, I figure the 49ers will beat the Giants and play the <Bears at Soldier Field on the weekend of the 12th of January... <Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr With benefit of 20/20 hindsight, I can safely say you're wrong - it'll be the Giants freezing their tails off in Chicago. But are we using the same calendar? I thought it was the 5th of January. Anyway, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr is right!!

By the way, > who are the two you're referring to? Al Harris (the Fridge wouldn't have played a down this year on defense if Harris signed) and Todd Bell (safety). I agree they are fine as they are but they would be even better (on paper) with those two guys. I am quite sure that Bell was an All-Pro last year, and if Harris wasn't, he was awful close. > > <Just remember, the Bears will play all of their playoff games at home > <in January in Chicago.

It didn't look that way at Stanford Stadium on TV from Chicago. I also talked with a friend in the Bay area on the phone that day. He may have been pulling my leg (80 below can make 32 degrees seem like a tropical paradise). > Go BEARS!!!!

To all you Pat fans that posted HOW THE PATS WILL WIN SB XX Better luck next time, but I hope the Pats improve over this year. The game was boring. Like a College team vs. high school! The BEARS could have beaten any team on Jan 26. As for a best of seven series, come on, get serious! No team could win a "best of anything" series against the BEARS.

In the game against the PACKERS, Chicago seemed to just be going thru the motions. Then GB scored a TD to go up 10-9. Chicago came right back and took the lead, winning 16-10. Any way you look at it, the Bears were by far the best this year (Of course that's just my opinion, Bob). Dave Van Handel
