On Monday, Jan. 13, the day after the NFC and AFC Championships, I posted an article predicting a Bears victory 31-0. To all of you Patriot fans who sent me e-mail telling me I was crazy and told me to post my aricles to net.jokes where they belong, I hate to say I told you so but... Even though I didn't predict the score right (I never thougt the Pats would score 10 points) everything else came true. No one can run on the Bears and if you are forced to throw all the time the flood gates open up for sacks, intercepts and fumbles. The Pats were just simply beaten in every aspect of the game. And before all the sour grape articles start up, you know the ones, if only the Pats' receivers would have held on to the ball after the Bears' fumble in the first quarter it would have been 7-0, then only if the Pats' linebacker would have intercepted the tipped ball on the Bears' second possession he could have walked in for a touchdown and made it 14-0 and a different ball game, and that the Bears' FG at the end of the half shouldn't have counted etc. etc., don't waste your breath, the Bears were truly the superior team. The only thing to stop the Bears from winning a couple more Championships in the next few years is the fact that their defensive co-ordinator and his 46-Defense is rumored to be heading to Philadelphia to take over as head coach of the Eagles.
