Losing in the playoffs is not a huge failure, because we were going to be a 7-9 team with most predictions.
Losing to the 7-9 Seahawks in the playoffs would be a huge failure because of who we are playing against.

It pains me to agree with you, but I do...anything short of a Superbowl appearance at this point, with GB in the NFC championship, will be unspeakably painful and disappointing...
Reductio ad absurdum...it's how we roll...

I'm scurred now b/c all the know nothing experts say we should win....and we all know that they suck so it probably means we lose....(sarcasm)

Let me see if I understand this correctly.
A loss would have been a huge failure.
Does that mean the win was a huge victory? Or, because the win came against the Seahawks, is the win written off as a so what, that did not prove anything?

I, for one, am a Lovie Smith nuthugger, so I'll go ahead and get that out of the way. He's not the best X's and O's coach, but he was smart enough to go find coaches who were good at developing talent and using that talent in the most productive strategic fashion possible. I will say that Lovie's organizational skills are what have gotten him to this point in his career. He understands that he doesn't know everything about football, and he works around that accordingly. If he wins the Super Bowl, in my estimation, that will lift him up above Mike Ditka as the second greatest coach in Bears history behind only the great George Halas.

It's hard not to like Lovie Smith now that they are in the NFC Championship game for the 2nd time in 5 years, one of which they already won. He's also 8-6 against the Packers since his arrival, now lets make it 9-6.

Lovie is a great coach, and he always manages to silence his critics when it matters the most. If he wins the Super Bowl, I don't think there will be one person left around who can deny that he is the best coach we've had since George Halas. He certainly has turned the rivalry with the Packers into one that is contested and not dominated as it was by Green Bay in the 1990s/early 2000s. Now, he has the Bears on the doorstep of another Super Bowl and, perhaps, his best shot at winning a Lombardi Trophy since neither Tom Brady nor Peyton Manning will be standing in the way. Aaron Rodgers is good, don't get me wrong, but he is no Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. And until Rodgers gets a running game of some repute, he's not going to be winning any championships. Lovie will ride his defense and blossoming offense into the Super Bowl, where he has the opportunity to silence his critics once and for all.
