Beat the Seahawks and the Packers and whoever comes out of the AFC in the Super Bowl, then you can start talking about flashing bragging rights.

eww...yankees fan.

But yeah, i agree with you agreeing with me :)
I think its simple...you have to EARN the right to play in the Superbowl. So if we cant beat the packers (or hell, even the seahawks for that matter), then whats the point? Im actually more excited to host the packers then going up to ATl for the NFCC. Packers have proven that they are a very good team, as is the Bears. Our series is split, so its gonna be one helluva game. Hell, except for that Falcons bloodbath tonight, the playoffs as a whole have been very fun to watch, LOTS of close games, some upsets. This is why parity is better then dynasties. Imagine the shitstorm that will be a-brewing if the Jets actually manage to BEAT the pats tomorrow?

'Cept I wouldn't say "... except for that Falcons bloodbath tonight". I'd say BECAUSE OF that Falcons bloodbath tonight...

Well duh..youre a Packers fan. So of course a blowout that favors your team is awesome. But for the rest of us, we turned the game off right after halftime. At least the others were entertaining to the final seconds for the most part.

I would prefer the Bears to have the capability to win every year as opposed to having the occasional "up" season followed by mediocrity.

Negatory.

I dont want the MLB system. Because then it will be nothing but the Cowboys, Redskins and Raiders on top every year, and just about ALL of the great talent will go to them, all the championships will be won by them.

Yeah..i like the way things are...true parity, anything can happen on any given sunday. Even your best ran organizations like the Patriots and Colts can get beat in the playoffs.
