Remainder of Playoffs

Watching the NE vs DEN game, holy hell those teams look like crap. Maye has 55 yards passing thru 3 quarters and 3 sacks. 

Whoever wins the NFC will crush either of these teams. So many what ifs for the Bears. They had a legit shot if they beat LA.

Absolutely. With the addition of a real defense, we will be back there many times. i expect great things in our future.

With our current defense, we blow both of these AFC teams out by at least 20 pts. This is some of the worst football I have seen in a long time, and it is a Conference Championship. Obviously, DEN didn't have Nix, but Payton not taking points early was the difference. The Pats are going to win with Maye having 86 yards passing.  They have now had one of the top 10 easiest schedules in NFL history, then got LAC, HOU, and DEN w/ a backup QB. Wild really.

I think that weather had a huge effect on passing, but both teams are not on the same level as Sea or LA, or the beloved

Drake Maye's 3 game playoff stretch: 15 sacks, 6 fumbles, 2 INT's, 55.8% completion %. He was horrible. Injury luck is the biggest reason they're in the Superbowl. Texans didn't have Nico Collins, and lost Dalton Schultz and their starting RB early in the previous game, and then, of course, Bo Nix misses the AFC Championship game. Pretty sure the Broncos score more than 7 points with him in the lineup... Must be nice. I hope they get their ass kicked in the Superbowl.

Watching the great Seattle defense, they should have 34 points scored on them right now. We could have beaten them.

I dunno about that, or the effect of the weather, but i feel like we could hang with any of those teams. And with a pass rush, for SURE.

Playoff related.  Recently reminded that of the 2018 QB draft class, one that includes 2x League MVP Lamar Jackson, 1x League MVP Josh Allen and 1st overall pick Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold is the first to start in a Super Bowl . He’s also the first to have back to back 14 win seasons with two different teams.  (Note:  current Bears LB Tremaine Edmunds was also selected that year at #16 overall).  

 

Meanwhile of the 2024 class Drake Maye is the first to reach the big game.
