Are Bears Super Bowl Contenders? Well, of course they are. Any team that makes the playoffs is a contender. But after that when the games start, the contenders are separated from the pretenders.

I just wish the Bears would run the table and the Rams or Saints could find a way to lose two of their last three. The Rams have an easy schedule from here on out but the Saints' schedule is a little tougher.

As long as the Bears are in, there is a chance. If they can run the ball and score a reasonable amount of points, who knows? The defense gives us all hope.

Not ready this year. If you remember 1984, this is that all over again. Now next year? Maybe.

You never know about next year since the Bears won’t get a last place schedule like they did this year. The other big thing is injuries the Bears have largely avoided it this year.

 

[LakeCtyNewt]

I’d like to think so, but having to win at New Orleans, LA or both makes me think otherwise. The loss of Callahan is not good either.

I think they get to round two of the playoffs but I don’t know if they could win a road playoff game.

Defensively they can stop anyone offensively they are still very much a work in progress.

A year ahead of schedule possibly but I didn’t see Philly winning the super bowl last year so I guess anything is possible.

Yes, I mentioned 1984 in another thread. Very similar.

No one saw Philly winning the SB last year until the game ended.

Exactly. Seems like the unlikelihood if winning a championship is a little greater in the NFL than other sports. What I mean is seems that worst to first happens more in this league than the other major sports leagues.

I remember 1984. I remember that hit by Todd Bell on Joe Washington. Hardest I can recall.

I stood in front of the TV the whole game. I was so stressed I couldn't sit down.

I hope to see something as exciting as that Washington game, again ...but not the loss to SF the following week.

I think that will be the exact outcome, unfortunately. This team has a bright future though.

 

[JolietWest89]

I think the Bears could win at Los Angeles, Defense got into Goff's head last week and the Rams OL in pass pro looked weak.

Winning in New Orleans would be a massive upset, IMO. SuperDome is a tough place to win and Sean Payton has not lost a home playoff game as head coach of New Orleans. Trubisky and the offense would need to play a perfect game.

 

[Cat Box]

I have a gut feeling Trubisky is going to show up big and shatter expectations in a key game. Not sure which game. This kid is a real maverick. He has the ability to extend drives at critical moments with his legs.

When we least expect it, Trubisky is going to do something amazing. Stay tuned.

Was it a Zenith or a Magnavox?

Hard to believe the Bears played the following and they have a last place schedule?

Patriots
Seattle
Ravens
Chiefs
Cardinals
Rams
Giants
Dolphins

It looks like they got some pretty good NC teams going into the season.

 

[Gene K.]

The Bears defense has proven they can play good to great against teams with good to great offenses. Still two more games to go! Trubisky looked good today and if he can string some more games together like he did today IMO they could be a contender for the NFC Championship. A lot of the so called experts think the Bears are a season away from a legit shot at the super bowl. Can the Bears win three playoff games to get there this year?

Anything is possible with a great Defense. They have proven their defense will keep them in any game.
