Does any New England Patriots fan out there seriously think there is a chance
the Pats will win the Super Bowl?

The Bears look like 30-0 on paper to me, but "on any given sunday..." (who said that anyway). I can't help but be skeptical about any Chicago team (they all seem to choke in the big games). I have tried to not say "the Bears will win" all along, but there is no reason (including the Patriots) that they should lose. The only thing I think it is safe to predict is that if the Bears are going to lose, I think everyone in the world will know it by the end of the first quarter. I also think that Ditka is one hell of a motivator (give him a few years and he will be in Shula's class), so he won't let the Bears not be ready! By the way, the only offensive measure that I haven't seen used against the Bears this year is the quarterback calling his own number (scrambles, QB draws, etc.), which might negate some of the heat from the defensive line. If the Bears lose, they ought to be called the CHI-CAW-GO Bears, after the sound that a crow makes going down (CAW). mike schwartz @ 3Com Corp.

> Does any New England Patriots fan out there seriously think there is a chance > the Pats will win the Super Bowl? The Patriots' best chance to win will be if everyone assumes that they have no chance. That will make the Bears overconfident, an often fatal error in big games. Just look at what happened to the Broncos against Pittsburgh in the playoffs last year. --Greg

They proved that they can win (3-0 in the playoffs, all on the road, is no easy feat, especially against the Jets, Raiders, and Dolphins). They proved that they are really a team, not a Cinderella. If they do win, it will be close. Even if they don't win, it should still be close. Look for Chicago to jump out on top early. Final Score: (realistically, they Bears should win) Chicago: 17 New England: 13 Ronald C. Rosul Jr. (vc253ah) P.S.- Steelers in '87, and this is not net.humor....

THIS one does!! >{Anyone doing a dissertation on abnormal psych, please feel free to make use >of the replies.} OH YEAH?? (maniacal laughter) Tony Eason's gonna complete 16 of 17... for 58 yards... and FOUR touchdowns!! Craig James is gonna rush for 119 yards, Tony Collins for 88 more!! ...(Excuse me, there's someone at the door)... Hawg Hannah and Co. are gonna put a "Dent" in Chicago's line!! ...(Hi, what do you guys want?)... Singletary's gonna feel SOLITARY when he finds he's the only Bear defender between the goal line and a fast-moving wall of red jerseys!! ...(What's with the outfits? You guys selling ice cream?)... Jim McMahon had better wear a headband that says "BUFFERIN", 'cause Andre Tippet and Don Blackmon are gonna play a duet on him!! ...(No, I don't want to try it on. Look at the sleeves; they're way too long!)... 'Ole "Sweetness" is gonna find it's not too sweet being stuffed by even older Julie Adams (the perfect retirement gift - a Superbowl ring!)!! ...(Hey, what is this? Get your hands off me! Leave me alone!)... Willie Gault can leave his jersey in the locker room, 'cause he's gonna have Ray Clayborn to wear!! ...(I don't want to take a ride, and I'm not sleepy!)... Steve Nelson, bad shoulder and all, is gonna be a one-armed bandit out there!! ...(I don't care how nice your friends are! I don't want to see them!)... Fred Marion will avenge his Pro Bowl snub with 3 interceptions!! Patriots by 7!! ...(I want my lawyer! No, wait! I want my MTV! No, wait! Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!)... /* End of text from uiucdcs:net.sport.football */ Interesting how this one never turned out as planned.
