Why would I make such a statement against the beloved Chicago Bears? This is the primary reason. They are in a weak division. Let's look back at who they have played so far:
- Green Pay Packers (Final Score 26-0; Packers current record: 3-4)
- Detroit Lions (Final Score 34-7; Lions current record: 1-6)
- Minnesota Vikings (Final Score 19-16; Vikings current record: 4-3)
- Seattle Seahawks - after Shaun Alexander was out (Final Score 37-6; Seahawks current record: 4-3)
- Buffalo Bills (Final Score 40-7; Bills current record: 2-5)
- Arizona Cardinals (Final Score 24-23; Cardinals current record: 1-7)
- San Francisco 49ers (Final Score 41-10; 49ers current record: 2-5)
None of these teams are especially steller. In all honestly, the Bears are in the weakest division on the NFL (the NFC North). The Bears have been playing pretty sucky team so of course they have been winning. The Cardinals game was the DIRTIEST win ever. Grossman and those interceptions. Don't even get me started. They should NOT have won that game. The Bears play the Miami Dolphins (1-6) this Sunday and again, I'm sure they will kill them. But this easy schedule is the worst thing that could happen to the Bears. They have a tough couple of games coming to them after the Dolphins game, which include the NY Giants (oh Eli--I heart him) and the New England Patriots. I will happily change my outlook about Da Bears if they can win against these two strong teams. The undefeated record would actually be meaningful to me if it has been maintained come December.
Let's imagine that the Bears do make it to the playoffs. I would be very interested to see how they stack up against the following teams: Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints, and Baltimore Ravens.
A Bears/Colts playoff game? Bring it on!

I'd say Go Falcons, but I know better! Atlanta rocks; their teams don't necessarily do that.ha
