NFL Playoffs
Bears-Seahawks Rematch Not About Revenge
If the Chicago Bears beat the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday they’ll advance to the NFC Championship game, and that’s all they’ll achieve by beating them. The loss to the Seahawks in the regular season can’t be undone.
Seahawks Don’t Want To Be Seen As Underdogs
In the NFL, wins are the fastest way to change perception of a team. But going into the second round of the playoffs, eight wins aren’t enough to change much.
Bernstein: Awful Seahawks Pose Unique Risk
Placed in the unfamiliar role of prohibitive favorites, the Bears seem to be doing and saying everything they can to feel otherwise.
Bears Have Second Chance to Shut Down Williams
In the first meeting between the Bears and Seahawks, Mike Williams caught 10 passes for 123 yards. A performance that helped the Seahawks beat the Bears. On Sunday, the Bears will have a second chance to shut him down.
Harris: ‘It’s What The Bears Think’
If an NFL season was determined by what people thought, than this season would have gone much differently for the Bears. And that’s exactly why they’re not listening to what anyone thinks now.
Olsen: For Offense, Lack Of Experience Won’t Matter
The Bears’ defense is full of players with playoff experience. Players like Lance Briggs and Brian Urlacher played in the Bears’ Super Bowl in the 2006 season. But the offense is a different story.
A Lot Has Changed Since Last Bears-Seahawks Game
The Chicago Bears ended the season as the second best team in the NFC, a far cry from where they started the season in most people’s eyes.
Seahawks Confident Coming Into Chicago
A win can do a lot for a team’s confidence, especially in the playoffs. And especially when the team, according to everyone outside of Seattle, didn’t deserve to be in the playoffs.
Record TV Ratings For NFL Continues
The NFL’s regular season was full of TV ratings that shattered former records. And it appears as if those records will continue to fall now that we’ve reached the playoffs.
Peppers: Seahawks Played Like A Playoff Team
The talk has already started, or continued for that matter, that the Seattle Seahawks don’t deserve to be in the playoffs. They ended the season 7-9, but upset the defending Super Bowl Champions in the first round.
Miller: ‘It’s Payback Time’ For Bears
here will be a lot of talk about matchups and story lines this week, as the Chicago Bears prepare for a rematch against the Seattle Seahawks. The most obvious story line? Revenge.
Aikman: Bears Should Feel Good Hosting Seahawks
There was only one team that the Bears knew, going into the weekend’s games, that they couldn’t face in the second round, that was the Packers. But if there was also one team they were hoping to play, that was probably the Seahawks.
Bernstein: Seahawks Matchup Sparks Internal Debate
As soon the Packers’ late interception of Michael Vick sealed the certainty that the 8-9 Seattle Seahawks — the worst NFL team to ever win a playoff game — would face the Bears Sunday at noon, the sides of my head started doing what they do…
Wisch: 18-Game Schedule Puts NFL Postseason In Jeopardy
OK, pencils up. It’s Pop Quiz time. Question: What’s more compelling, the NFL regular season or the NFL postseason?
Thayer: Bears Need To Think Super Bowl
With the Bears’ playoff game now one week away, it’s time to start thinking about what a realistic expectation is for them in the playoffs.
Bears’ Defense: Been There, Done That
The Bears’ offense is relatively young and inexperienced, when it comes to the playoffs. On the other hand, the Bears’ defense is still full of players from the 2006 team.
Protection Not Key For All Playoff Teams
Solid pass protection usually portends potent offenses, and lots of points generally means lots of wins. In that regard, it’s hardly a shock to see four of the top five teams in the New York Life Protection Index playoff bound.
Cutler Ready For Playoffs, Finally
The last time Jay Cutler played postseason football was when he was in high school. Despite that long break from playoff action, Cutler is poised and read to make a run deep into the playoffs.
Bears’ O-Line Improved Through loss
The Bears’ offensive line was blitzed heavily in the second half of the loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. That heavy blitzing, along with the playoff atmosphere in Green Bay was a big help for the young o-line.
Bears Won’t Change For Playoffs
Most things this season have gone the way the Bears wanted. But the offensive performance in the regular season finale wasn’t the way a team wants to enter the playoffs.
