    No Pats game next week so instead we should set up Bears-Eagles avatar bet for their game. someone might have to hold steve down while we waterboard him until agrees on the bet.

    What are you...Galaxy's avatar bet agent? ;)

    eh eh no names here,I'm just here for verification on this bet. ;)

    I'm in if Galaxy agrees.

    The bet would be an avatar change upload right after the game, and in place until either the Eagles or Bears play their next playoff game, right up until kickoff, then it can be changed back.

    They should start having a "Tony Romo Award" each year for the QB that was the biggest choke artist for the year!

    This years award goes to Kurt Cousin's! The trophy is a QB sitting on the ground with his hands around his throat. :)

    Tony Romo won more big games than Cousins has won. The only over .500 team, that had won at least half their games when they played them, was the Miami Dolphins.

    Romo was a better quarterback that Cousins is now. He’s going to have to do a lot more to earn his $84 million. I am just glad that my favorite teams don’t have him.

    Congrats Steve 🍻

    You to Paul. 🍻

    Considering how the Super Bowl loser can go in the tank the next season, it's remarkable that with an aged QB, etc, that the Patriots again made the playoffs with a solid 11-5 record.

    Certainly the Belichick-Brady pairing is one of the most, if not the most remarkable in NFL history. And considering this modern era of parity in the NFL with salary caps, etc, the pairing has to be considered one of the most, if not the most remarkable in the history of sports.

    Technically I haven't even mentioned this bet to him yet so for the moment I'm your agent.
    Maybe i can play an agent in one of these Aaron Rodgers State Farm commercials that they show every single freakin time the game goes to commercial. I'd just stand there and keep reminding Aaron that Brady has 5 SB wins to his one. ;)

    My two bit playoff game analysis: Eagles versus Bears at Soldier Field

    The Bears have been extremely tough to beat at home this season with a 7-1 record. This strong trend bodes well for the Bears.

    Nick Foles took a brutal shot to the chest late in that game last Sunday which knocked him out of the game. How he recovers from that both physically and mentally, even Foles may not really know at this point. I have always had one big criticism of Doug Pederson since he became head coach, and that is not taking his QB's out of a game when the game is clearly won. For the life of me, I can't understand why he wouldn't automatically do that?

    A number of other factors certainly favor the Bears winning this game. One of which since the Eagles won the Super Bowl last season, it might be difficult for them to get the necessary adrenaline level up to do it again. In life when it comes to success, it's always easier to get there than it is to stay there.

    To win on Sunday, the Eagles are going to need to play basically a mistake free game. While the Bears are going to need to make some mistakes, perhaps one or two very bad mistakes such as a fumbled punt with an Eagles recovery. Not an easy task for what is going to be a very motivated crowd of loud cheering Bears fans at Soldier Field, hungry for a possible trip to the Super Bowl.

    The Eagles are a long shot underdog in this game. A lot of pundits out there are predicting an Eagles win because of Nick Foles and his "magic" so to speak. I realize this next comment may sound silly, but I've noticed over the years whenever too many pundits predict a long shot underdog victory, it usually spells doom for the underdog.

    So unfortunately, it seems that most if not almost all signs point to a Bears win on Sunday.

    In any event, I will of course be rooting for the Eagles. However if the Eagles don't win, I'm not going to cry about it too much after coming off a Super Bowl season. That thrill is going to stay with me for a long time. :)

    Galaxy - After the Bears win the game today, pick out one of these for my new avatar or post whatever you want me to use. If I don't hear back from ya, i'll use the first one.

    Congrats on the Bears win today and best wishes moving forward in the playoffs.

    Lyrics

    Now this could only happen to a guy like me
    And only happen in a town like this
    So may I say to each of you most gratefully
    As I throw each one of you a kiss

    This is my kind of town, Chicago is
    My kind of town, Chicago is
    My kind of people too
    People who smile at you

    And each time I roam, Chicago is
    Calling me home, Chicago is
    Why I just grin like a clown
    It's my kind of town

    My kind of town, Chicago is
    My kind of town, Chicago is
    My kind of razzmatazz
    And it has, all that jazz

    And each time I leave, Chicago is
    Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is
    The Wrigley building, Chicago is
    The union stockyard, Chicago is
    One town that won't let you down
    It's my kind of town
