The Bears better get a running game going. The Seahawks proved what happens when you don't. The Bears front seven should be able to handle the Seahawks ground game well enough to slow Lynch and take away play-action.
Bears should take it by two scores.
I'll go with the Seahawks as I think the Saints had an overall better team than the Bears. It should be an interesting game though if the Seahawks show up like they did Saturday.
If the Bears lose is a choke, if they win they get the: "oh but it was the teh Seahawks". Master_LiveWho cares? This isn't college with a ranking system, it is a win and you keep playing system. God I love the NFL!
I'm taking Seattle. We beat them once on the road already, their offense line couldn't protect Cutler (six sacks), and this is Cutler's first postseason game. I don't expect him to play well. 20-17 Seahawks in another nail bitter. monkeytoes61But the Bears line has played much better in the second half of the season. Cutler and the offense has been much better as a result.

Seattle, didn't they beat them earlier in the season? Also, being Cutler's first post season game, I wouldn't be surprise if has a pick-a-palooza
Seahawks. Bears are pretenders and Cutler will prove me right.

The Bears are pretenders but not the Seahawks?

I hate using words like pretenders. This is the NFL after all. Not only that but the Seahawks have beaten the Bears once and Saints on top of that. They have proven, despite their record, that they can beat some solid teams. This very well could work out in the Seahawks favor.[QUOTE="Fizzman"]

Aren't those solid teams too?Seahawks and Packers are both winning for the chuckles of giving a 7-9 team home field advantage in the NFC title game.
That doesn't mean anything now. The Bears offense is much improved since that game so early in the season.Seattle, didn't they beat them earlier in the season? Also, being Cutler's first post season game, I wouldn't be surprise if has a pick-a-palooza

Exactly. The Seahawks aren't playing nearly the same Bears team as before. The Bears are also a far more complete team than the Saints ever were this season. I just can't imagine this upset happening.
The Bears could lose if Cutler has one of those games where he throws picks or if the Bears o-line plays terrible. The Seahawks have beatem them earlier this year but it won't be as easy this time. I'll go with the Bears since they are playing at home and I think it actually benefits them knowing that Seahawks has beaten them before. That way they don't underestimate them at all.
I'd love to see Seattle win, I love that team, young, passionate, and they just look like they have fun out there... but I think Chicago will win.
I'd rather Chicago win just because Seattle doesn't deserve to win...Buttt Seattle was my grandmother's team so I'm cheering for the SeahawksI'd love to see Seattle win, I love that team, young, passionate, and they just look like they have fun out there... but I think Chicago will win.

Are you saying there's no such thing as an undeserved win in sports? I strongly disagree.
I'm sorry to all Seahawks fans and Bears fans but both of these teams are pretenders in my book. How the Bears got in is beyond me, the only reason why the Seahawks are in is because of the crapped up division that they play in. I don't like the Seahawks being there more though so I want the Bears to win but the next week in the championship I'd hope the Bears get stomped.

I guess you haven't seen the Bears play after week 7 (not counting the Pats game).
Well the Bears aren't my team so no I don't watch 'em all the time but lets see win against the Bills pfft...oook, win against the Vikings....alllright whatever, Dolphins..give me a break, Eagles..I'll give you that one, Lions..pfft, after the Pats loss, Vikings..again..yeah..ok -_-. Jets..I'll give you that one but by 4 close call, and when yall had the chance to keep the Packers out of the playoffs..*cough* choked. To me the Bears are average at best thats it. MY TEAM the Washington Redskins spanked them in the game earlier this year and to my Washington Redskins brothers out there I'm sorry because I have to say it but we sucked! They don't belong I'm sorry they have not shown me much at all, there is no spark with that team...maybe defense..a little..and speacial teams but other then that none. And how can you say not counting that Pats game O.O that was horrible and I swear you better hope the Pats and Bears wouldn't meet in the Super Bowl geez what fun :roll:

Quite making excuses. They've beaten good teams and deserve to be where they're at.
I'm not making excuses, I'm actually stating facts, and record wise yeah they do, but the way they play they do not. And good teams my ass, they had one of the easier scheldules this year seeing as how the Vikings went to crap. Its a shame a team like the Giants had to stay out of the playoffs because teams like the Seahawks and Bears are in. Now the Bears do have the record but the Seahawks do not.

Eli Manning had 25 interceptions and you wonder why they didn't make it to the playoffs. Incredible...
What the hell does that have to do with the way the Giants defense was playing, and not all interceptions come from being the Qb's fault, plus the 2nd half of the season Hakeem Nicks was out, his main target earlier this year and was there leading reciever
XCNormX
Boy, you sure like making excuses. The numbers don't lie.
