"That win revealed more about the strengths of this Chicago team than it did its weaknesses."

Indeed.

Never thought I'd live to see the day the Bears were ranked #2 in anyone's power rankings

it's a Christmas miracle!

 

[Navy Orange Ninja]

Merry Christmas you Sumbitches!

Wow, I was expecting the Bears to fall out of the top 10 after the devastating moral defeat at San Francisco.

The rankers must not read CCS.

I’ll never understand how this game in particular did more to instill confidence in the media than the Rams game or the Vikings game

I don't think it was this game in particular, it's just that the Bears keep winning and the media can't justify ranking them low anymore.

The Bears can win in a multitude of ways. Every game they have multiple, achievable, routes to victory, and a vary narrow road to defeat for the opponent.

They played like garbage, lost the turnover battle, missed FGs etc and still won. They adapt to each game and to their opponents in order to gain an advantage.

This game displayed that, which is honestly the only reason I can think of for the sudden respect. Don’t get me twisted I agree with you if you didn’t respect the Bears before this week I’m not sure why this particular win is what set them over the top. Everything I stated was true before Sunday.

The simple answer is they clinched the 3rd seed so to not look stupid these idiots now have to make them top 6.

Fun fact, we've beaten 3/5 of the NFC playoff teams(All we've faced, assuming the vikes get in, which it looks like they will). That's the most in the NFC. Rams, Saints, and Hawks both have 2. Cowboys have 1. And then you have the vikings, who have beaten no one.

Remember when people said we hadn't played anyone good?

Special teams played about as bad as physically possible in the Patriots game and we still had a chance to tie at the end of the game. It takes a really good team to take the patriots to the wire when you give up 2 special team touchdowns.

Not to mention we were 1 yard away from OT with the patriots at home

Oh, it's not just here. Ignore the comments on Facebook as well. It might even be worse there.

 

[Sculpt]

NFL.com = 2
Washington Post = 2
CBS = 4

For those who don't want to open 3 sites, unless they want to read more.

Winning on the road > winning at home. Never discount just how hard it is to get a road win in the NFL.

Then factor that the 49ers had just beaten the Seahawks the week before in San Fran. Reports are that the “SHARPS” were all over the 49ers in Vegas last week

I think the Bears are gonna silence a many haters this playoff run, not to mention piss of the fans of teams that keep telling themselves the Bears are not this good.

Hey, wait a minute...a few things I've learned from years of posting on Bears message boards...

- Power rankings don't mean shit.
- National media people hate the Bears...especially their QBs.
- National media people don't watch the games.
