Jason from Manassas, Va. is my hero
>> Saturday
I stumbled upon this brilliant observation in Bill Simmons' emails:
"Granted, good teams are supposed to blow out bad teams, but the Bears haven't been tested once. I absolutely loathe the way the media has just handed them the NFC path to the Super Bowl. I swear, they're the NFL's version of Notre Dame. Hey, let's play one or two tough games a year, and have everyone stroke us until we get to the playoffs and lose miserably. They've played six of the 10 worst teams in the league, beat up an RB-less Seattle team and should have lost to the Vikes and Cards. But they WERE who we THOUGHT they were!"
As if ripping the Bears apart didn't endear Jason to my heart enough, he calls them "the NFL's version of Notre Dame."
It's nice to see that someone out there has the exact same opinion as me (and therefore, the right opinion) on this matter.

Oh yes, the Bears are the NFL's version of Notre Dame. That cupcake schedule the Bears made... wait, you mean the Bears didn't make that schedule? The NFL did? Oh, well, the NFL wants the Bears to win because they have such a legacy... wait, you mean those schedules were made years ago? When the NFL did not know how good or bad the NFC North would be?
Is "Jason from Manassas, VA" the nom de plume of Al Davis?
The point is that the Bears are getting all this 19-0 talk, even though they haven't played anyone yet.
All season I've said that if they beat New England and/or the NY Giants, I will change my tune.
Remember, the Bears haven't won a playoff game since 1994.
Yea, that stat is really relevant Nate. What had the 1999 Rams, 2000 Ravens and 2001 Patriots done in previous seasons before winning the Super Bowl? I'm guessing the 1996 Panthers and Jaguars strongly relied on previous playoff experience. No matter their opponents, it's rare for teams to be doing what the Bears have done against NFL opponents.
Anyone with a brain knows that the Bears won't go 19-0. The East Coast Death Trip will cause at least one loss.
Quit listening to Joe Theisman. He's nuts.
