NFL Playoffs Running Thread

Allowing another TD to the Seahawks. Not looking good for next week.

 

Haha.

OK, time to eat a little crow. Had you told me or any sentient human midway through the season, after the Bears had lost back-to-back home games to Seattle and Washington, that they'd be hosting the NFC title game, you'd have gotten a collective STFU. But the second-half turnaround has been amazing, and that's due in large part to Lovie and the coaching staff. They've done a great job since Week 9.

And one more thing: If nothing else, this game has proven that Mizzou is a dick.

 

If this were ruled a TD the Bears would not have made the playoffs.

 

I wasn't aware we were lacking in proof.

 

Terrible onside kick overage. Not looking good for next week.

 

Tremendous performance by the Chicago secondary.

 

And if you had balls, you'd be an uncle.

 

While I am all for poking YGBFKM with a stick, you can't assume weeks two thru 17 would have unfolded the same way if the Bears open up 0-1. For instance, if they're 10-5 instead of 11-4 going into that last game against the Packers, they certainly care about the outcome a lot more.

 

Might as well get it started.

 

Incompletion on fourth down. Not looking good for next week.

 

Personal foul call after the play is completed. Not looking good for next week.

 

Gamblers everywhere just perked their ears up -- and cursed (or thanked the heavens) Carroll's decision to kick the PAT.
