When the Bears lose, they all pat themselves on the back and congratulate themselves on how smart they are.
When the Bears win, they point out that the other team didn't play well, had lots of injuries, or just generally gave the game away.
Don't get us wrong, we're ECSTATIC the Bears are in the NFC Championship game. Against the Packers, no less. And it doesn't have a thing to do with what the media says, or doesn't say, about the Bears.
That's unfortunately how the media works. They make preseason predictions and stick with them until there's literally no chance in hell for that team to make the playoffs anymore because they don't want the fact that they were completely wrong shoved in their grimy little faces. The worst part is they change this team about 4-5 times per season. And to top it off, whoever wins the Superbowl......yeah........they knew it would be them all along and expect that we apparently have the memory capacity of a slug and forgot the other 5 teams they were pushing prior to that.

The media is going to change as teams change through out the season. But they do have their favorites. ESPN rides on Steelers Pats or Colts and maybe a couple NFC teams depending on their play. The media can impact a team some. All bad press wears on players. Some players use it as fuel to prove them wrong. Bears are doing good using it to win. I hope they keep it up and win it all. Even if the Bears beat the Packers, the media will play up their injuries through out the year. Not well matched up teams played hard and the Bears are the better team. Media has to stir up the drama.

We kicked a crappy teams ass yesterday and it feels good but I am willing the bet the media will talk more about the packers victory over the falcons than the bears over the seahawks.

Considering the Falcons are a much better team than the Seahawks, who in my opinion shouldn't have even been allowed into the playoffs with their record in the first place (nor anyone else in the west), it will get talked about more. The Seahawks were a mediocre team that should have been beaten before they even got this far by the Saints. The Bears did what they were supposed to do.

I say let them talk and the Bears can fly under the radar and upset the media world.

That's what we've been doing all season long, go4bears.

Exactly. I like being the underdog, and then when we win, watch all the pundits backpedal and justify why the other team lost. It's comical.

They all will do this except Mark Schlereth and Trent Dildo. Tom Jackson, Cris Carter, Keyshawn Johnson, Michael Irvin, and the rest of those idiots will be eating major crow served up by Mike Ditka.
