Plax was right, the Pats would not score more than 17 pts. What a bold prediction.

Crazy, 17-14 G-Men!

Wow, 10-7 G-Men.

I just realized the Pats have won all 3 of their Super Bowls by 3 pts each.

I actually don't mind the Giants being in there as much as I would if it was the Packers or Cowboys, so pick your poison. Would it have been any better to have the Pack in there after we beat them twice? I think that would've burned a little more.

3-0 G-Men after the 1st quarter. 7-3 Pats midway thru the 2nd. Actually a pretty close game. Pats look tired...and old.

It was 44-3 after 3 quarters. The Pats had -19 total offensive yards in the 1st half. That is how dominant the game was.

Classic!

Tippett over Dent? Kinda a slap in the face since we crushed them in the SB. Also Dean over Dent? Dean didn't even register 100 career sacks.

Urlacher really came on in the last few games of the season, and probably had his best 3-4 game stretch of his career. I don't think his back is that bad, because you would see some sort of regression, and that has not happened with him. I would start worrying when he starts missing games.

91-10

Yeah, the Bears D would've crushed them.

Bulls, Bears, DC United, Hurricanes, Yanks, and Phins last. Seems like votes are weighted, so you want only crappy teams in the top 5 after the Bears and Bulls.

Start buying the Super Bowl tickets for 2009 now.

1. The Bears dominating playoff run in 1985, 21-0 against the Giants, then 24-0 vs the Rams. In the Rams game, the snow starts coming down and the Bears D gets a fumble recovery and runs it in. 2. Hester's SB runback. There was so much hope after that score.... 3. Sweetness breaking the all-time rushing mark. 4. The "They are who we thought they were game" in 2006 Worst one: Payton not getting a TD in the Super Bowl, ugh.

Dvoracek was injured on special teams, so that was sort of a freak accident. Harris was just beat up with different injuries. When those two are at full strength, they are dominating.

Not that I want him, but didn't they say almost the same thing about Brady coming out of Michigan?

Damn, I was hoping Flacco would not move up so high. Doubt we get him now. I guess the 2nd round is still a possibility.

Good guess.

NFO, That is a harsh assessment on some of those years. If you draft a Pro Bowler, that in itself is a pretty good draft. You seem to want every single pick to work out, and that is completely unrealistic. The 2006 draft is a C+? That is crazy, Hester alone makes it an "A". He is the top return specialist of All-time. 2004 is a B, with Harris, Berrian, AND Vasher? That is a solid "A", probably an A+. I agree with the other years. The biggest thing to notice is how bad our 1st rounders have turned out other than Harris (Olsen is too new to eval). That is why I would rather trade down if possible.

Remember Urlacher's recovery speed. He caught up to Bush from 20 yards behind.

I don't know if you can call one single incident a character issue. The guy made an utterly stupid and dangerous mistake, but he seems like he has turned it around since then.

Favre has as much to do with the wins as he does with the losses. He is such a high risk, high reward player.

There is no way the Pack repeats what they did this year (13-3). They were good, but not that good. They seemed to play teams just at the right time, and were not hit with any major injuries. Minnesota is more of a threat with AP.

The good thing for the Bears is teams higher might have more of a propensity to take something other than OL compared to a sexy pick like QB, RB, WR, etc. Just think of the offensive line the Lions could've built instead of drafting WR after WR every year.
