Ha! The Bears are a mediocre team, largely because they can't find a GM who has a clue about the offensive side of the ball. Football is a sport I don't really watch much of, instead just following it the next day.

That said, they found a way to 8-8 slide their way into the playoffs. They looked anywhere from average to good tonight, so don't give up hope just yet. They obviously aren't perfect, and are a big underdog in the wildcard going against the Saints, but it's one game and anything can happen.
For some selfish reasons, and because I'm not a huge fan of the Saints, I'll be hoping the Bears pull off the upset.

Rooting against the Saints?!?

On every level but phyiscal, I am the Bears. *Punts*
Also, the Bears continue to be exactly who we thought they were. They're who we thought they were. And we let them off the hook.
8-8 and beat 1 team over .500, that team was missing a bunch of players on a short week. Second and third most quality wins, Vikings and Giants.
Tbf I guess the packers beat the same teams (except the bucs) only other really quality wins were Tennessee and NO.
That's every team, though. There's more average to losing teams in your division, because, surprise... you're beating them if you're the winner. If the Packers struggle this year, suddenly the Bears are a winning team posting 10-6.
The Bears still have a deadly defense (at times) and their offense has improved throughout the season. I wouldn't put a single dime on them beating the Saints next week, but football is weird and anything can happen in one game. The Saints are strong, but beatable with many weaknesses. I've seen worse teams pull off bigger upsets, I guess is what I'm saying.
The NFC is wide open this year as I don't see much separation between the Bucs, Saints, Packers, and Seahawks at this point. All have warts but they all have exceptional areas.
In the AFC, it's difficult to bet against the Chiefs again, but the Bills look like a buzzsaw I would not want to face. Although a Packers/Bills Super Bowl would kind of be incredible in terms of small market but hardcore fanbases squaring off.
Maybe. They've already had too good of a season to get a high pick so might as well ruin as many other seasons as they can for teams that are legitimately decent.
I watch every Bears game, that defense isn't nearly as deadly as it once was. Fuller and Jackson are great in their secondary but Eddie Jackson isn't the same player he was with Amos back in the safety position with him. I watched the Packers score on them with ease last night.
First drive - TD 12 plays 64 yards 7:36
Next drive - didn't get a drive because Tavon Austin fumbled
Next drive TD 3 plays 83 yards to MVS
Next drive TD 6 plays 42 yards after a bears fumble
The third quarter was trash, had the 5 play drive to begin it (MVS dropped 55 yard TD pass)
Bears had 2 long drives sandwiching a Packers 3 and out - 11 play 6:50 ending in a FG, 15 play 8:04 turnover on downs.
4th quarter begins and the packers score touchdowns in each of their drives.
So touchdowns on 5 of 7 drives in the game. One of those failed drives being a blatant drop on a TD pass. I'm not scared of the bears defense one bit. Akiem Hicks can't be 100% right now and I think he's the most important player on that entire defense.
I'm glad they made the playoffs, though, slide down that draft board baby.
late edit: I actually follow the bears monday-friday way more than the packers. I listen to a lot of local sports radio, an embarrassing amount especially because I'm not a Bears or Hawks fan (although their hockey talk is at cringe levels). The only packers updates I get are Aaron Rodgers Tuesdays on the Pat McAfee show and when I google injuries for the team on Friday.

For the science geeks out there, researchers can now view the protein spikes of a very similar virus in their native state (normal structure without chemical isolation):

Anyone here ever played Overcooked with family members/friends? Arguments happen fast, hahaha...
"Why is this on the floor?!!"
"Wash the f'n dishes!"
"You're supposed to chop the meat before you throw it!"
"I'm surrounded by idiots!"

I know, right?... Can you believe the Lions want “a good manager of people and processes, not just picking players”?
