You should try something more than a high school schedule. Its actully fun with some suspense.
Once the Bears schedule was posted everyone knew they had already made it.
Teams don't exactly have a choice in their schedule. 31 other teams contribute to the offseason strength of schedule determination. But yea, Chicago had a pretty easy schedule.
But it's one thing to know Chicago would get into the playoffs by winning their division, entirely different thing seeing as how they're going in as the #1 seed. Basically says the entire NFC pretty much stunk it up. It's the whole "tallest midget" argument for NFC teams. I kinda feel that whoever wins the NFC crown is going to get wiped by the AFC representative in the SuperBowl.
Man I'm listening to this game on the local Dallas radio via Sirius. The announcers are ripping on Dallas pretty good, especially TO. It kind of surprises me - most of these local announcers tend to be suck-ups.
Tell me there TO did not have a tackle in this game......funny I know but I think I won by .34 pts and we count a tackle as 1 pt and if he didnt I think I won my Super BOWL!!!!

Would that be Mickey Spagnola and.....I don't remember the other dudes name. Anyway, if it is, they pretty much tell it like it is, they don't tend to be suck-ups.

I've always thought local announcers could be the harshest critics. They'll get super excited when something good happens for their home team, but also don't pull punches in their criticism. At least that's my experience from Chicago radio.
Then again, we've got the Cubs, so maybe not, lol.

how?
you want quality opposition to go into playoffs don't you?
playing well against Detroit is like wiping someone out in preseason, no?
It's called momentum. I don't care WHO you beat, if you have momentum, it is a HUGE plus no matter who it is against.
Eagles have the most momentum in the NFC going into the playoffs (assuming they finish off the Cowboys tonight and beat the Falcons next year). Five wins in a row, including THREE ROAD DIVISION GAMES IN A ROW is a little more than beating Detroit with your backup quarterback in there stirring controversy.
I didn't say that we had more momentum than the Eagles, just that a win against Detroit would HELP.
And I think you meant finish off the Falcons next WEEK, not YEAR Just messing with ya.
Oh and, ummmm....What QB controversy? I haven't heard of any QB controversy...
Damn, for some reason I was thinking the 1st was Sunday.
Huge win though, not even my own blunder can contain my happiness. I won my 3rd place game for $70 and am leading my friend by 16, he has Coles left (6/TD 1/20 yards receiving) in our semi-finals (yeah, we do finals week 17, stupid).

Didn't catch their names but they did tell it like it is. I was actually kind of impressed they weren't just tools of the Cowboys.

Man when Hub Arkush was doing the Bears he had to be the biggest suck-up I've ever heard. Tom Thayer is pretty good.
One of the cool things about Sirius is getting to listen to the local broadcasts and a lot of the announcers tend to be cheerleaders. They'll make every call against the home team sound like it's a travesty, say the home team "pounds forward for three yards" while the opponents are "stopped for a short gain of three yards", etc. It's kind of funny at times.
