NFC Stands for No Fucking Clue
…if you ask me. Now please bear in mind…
BEARS!
Bear in mind as I offer these football ruminations that I thought the Bears (at the beginning of the season) would be 8-8
I thought the acquisition of Mike Martz was desperation and most acts of desperation tend to resemble acts of stupidity with like a clock running or a lion about to jump on you or something like that.
I thought Lovie's act (and more importantly his defense) was played out in Chicago and in the NFL as well. But then, I've been wrong about a lot of things in Chicago sports.
Here's a list
1. Jerry Reinsdorf purchases the WhiteSOX, threatens to move them Tampa Bay and I am sure that bastard will try to run the team always and forever on the cheap, and my favorite sports thing in Chicago will never win anything or even worse - become the Tampa Bay WhiteSOX
2. Jerry Reinsdorf's investment group takes over the Bulls and I am sure they are doomed to never win anything even thought they have the greatest player who ever lived (or is it "that" ever lived...see, I'm even wrong about that)
3. The Bulls, after being eliminated by the Pistons, fire Doug Collins and hire Phil Jackson to which I say, "Who?" I thought he'd be easier for Krause and Reinsdorf to control...and he turned out to probably be the greatest coach in NBA history
There are so many things I got wrong, let's skip ahead to this millennium where I almost quit my beloved WhiteSOX when they traded Carlos Lee for a guy who, again at the time, I called, "Scott Pudwhonik?"
oh, I also thought Chicago's baseball team would be better served hiring Cito Gaston rather than Ozzie Guillen
Wow, that's a big, steaming pile of wrong.
And that's why I watch sports. It is the only thing on tv that surprises me more often than not. It reminds me and provides direct evidence of what I don't know, where my reasoning can go so obviously wrong
The Tampa Two, and more importantly, Lovie's scheming has proved to be adaptable to a great number of different situations...the same with Martz's offense
When the team looked like utter crap against the Seahawks and the Redskins before the bye week, I though the only fun I'd have watching football this year was to see Bret Farve hit so hard, his wang would fall off...
So glad that I was wrong again
Bears fans have been blessed by a hell of a season. Too bad it will end in disappointment on Sunday when the Bears lose to the Packers 21-20
Here's hoping my wrong streak continues
GO BEARS!!!! Win the Superbowl and make me look like a jerkass again...
Not that I don't do it myself all the time, it's just nice to have someone or something else to blame

Turns out you're not wrong about the cover 2. A good QB with decent receivers can carve it up all day. Yes, they only use the cover 2 occasionally, but those are the times when the opposition (if they know what to look for) can break the "bend but don't break" defense.
Their defense made a valiant comeback after being torched early. Too little, too late but I was really surprised by and surprisingly proud of the Bears this year. Great season that just came up a bit short
