What are the odds of Miami being the first team to beat Chicago this year?

Scavenger · October 31, 2006 4:17AM

And yes I'm talking about football. Miami beat Chicago in 1985 when the Bears were undefeated and caught New England sleeping last year. Could it happen again?

It's the NFL, not Ohio State versus Middle Southwest Montana Tech, so of course it's possible. Likely? Probably not. I don't see Miami scoring more than 10 points, most likely.

Hey. Some of us MSWMonTech alum take offense to that

I think Chicago already had their scare - against Arizona.

I don't see Miami having any shot at beating them, but, hey, it's the NFL.

On any given Sunday...........

zef204 · October 31, 2006 5:09AM

Bears 37-13.

ctsoxfan · October 31, 2006 5:15AM

I think the Patriots will be the first team to beat Chicago - but like everyone said, the beauty of the NFL is you just never know.

ArnyVee · October 31, 2006 5:18AM

I think that the Fins are going to muster up that mystique of the undefeated '72ers and beat the Bears in a surprise upset! 24-21!

softparade · October 31, 2006 5:19AM

The Giants have a shot two weeks from now .... at home. THAT should be a good game

iamthegreatcornholio · October 31, 2006 7:22AM

What are the odds of Miami being the first team to beat Chicago this year?

According to Vegas, about a 12% chance.

IrishMike · October 31, 2006 7:28AM

About as likely as the Raiders beating the Steelers.

Hell yeah it will.

On any given Sunday Chicago's offense can go in the tank. Next time it won't be the Cardinals "letting them off the hook". What
scares me is because of their easy easy schedule, they can wrap up the #1 spot pretty easy and that means they only have to
play one game at home to get into the super bowl. Is there a team right now in the NFC who could beat the Bears up there
in early January? Right now, I don't see one. You have to get the Bears on the road, get down and then step on their neck. Find their
QB and rip his head off. Run right at Urlacher and put him on his backside. If you can't do that, then don't show up.

The sad part is that the Bears have a sorry schedule.....as a playoff team who was in the #2 spot last year, that just shouldn't freaking
happen. If the Bears had the Bucs schedule right now, they would be no better than 6-2!

ToppsCo1lector · October 31, 2006 10:28AM

Stalin-One back that'll be in the playoffs in the NFC could put Urlacher on his back, Brandon Jacobs.

joestalin · October 31, 2006 12:12PM

I like General Tom, he knows how to win, even though I thought he should of benched Shockey's arse for those comments.

stevek · October 31, 2006 1:24PM

Yes it will happen and Marino will be coming out of retirement to quarterback the game like he did in '85.

IrishMike · October 31, 2006 6:43PM

Chicago drubbed them last night 108-66.........

. I see the usual schedule whiners are out.

Surely this can't be right?? Even with home field without you have two games before the super bowl, right??

Either way, it's hard to believe their schedule can be so easy, especially with their record last year. I don't know about your Bucs, but check out the Colts schedule this year.

@ the Giants
@ the Jets
@ Denver
@ New England
@ Dallas
@ Jacksonville
and home games with Philadelphia and Cincinnati.

That's brutal. Fortunately they play in a weak conference and get four easy games with Houston and Tennesee. It'll be interesting to see if the Bears do what the Colts did last year. Clinch early, take a month off, and then can't get it going in the playoffs. That seems to be our (the Colts) plan again this year.

Scavenger · November 5, 2006 5:35AM

Any more predictions now that the game is over?

gregmo32 · November 5, 2006 5:42AM

Pretty good chance.

thegemmintman · November 5, 2006 5:48AM

I'm calling for the upset.

ctsoxfan · November 5, 2006 6:01AM

Miami still stinks, but I like their chances against the Bears.

stevek · November 5, 2006 1:00PM

I've been telling ya all season that the Bears were playing over their heads. I'm still predicting a first round playoff loss for them.

joestalin · November 5, 2006 1:05PM

Brilliant Steve! First round loss?? Right now the Bears are looking at a first round bye. So they and Eagle fan will have one thing in
common, you will both be on the couch come January, except Bear fan will be parked for only one week, while Eagle fan will be
parked their the whole post season....and actually Andy Reid will be parked their until the fork lift comes and gets him off

Axtell · November 5, 2006 4:20PM

Wow, upset of the day (with the falcons choking against the lions being a close second).

Grossman looks more and more like he has no idea what defenses are doing to him - it looks like teams have enough film on him and have figured him out - he threw 4 picks against AZ and today's debacle as well.

Miami played inspired ball today - I wonder where that inspiration has been all year?

IrishMike · November 5, 2006 7:41PM

<< I've been telling ya all season that the Bears were playing over their heads. I'm still predicting a first round playoff loss for them. >>

Same guy who has been telling us Philly was a more complete team, when the Bears were number 1 in scoring, scoring defense and special teams. Yeah your analysis carries water.

Anyway ain't this fun. This has been a fun year...Pittsburgh loses to Oakland, defending champs, Detroit beats Atlanta (of course according to all you experts, the NFC north sucks) Indy can't play defense but still beats the Pats, its gonna be a fun next couple of months wouldn't ya'll think. Oh yeah even Tampa has won a couple of games.

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!

1420sports · November 5, 2006 9:25PM

Eagles will be just fine. They'll be there in the end ...

IrishMike · November 6, 2006 1:27AM

<< Eagles will be just fine. They'll be there in the end ... >>

Nothing at all against the Eagles just trying to add some realism into this little online planet.

HighRelief · November 6, 2006 1:31PM

Who do you like next week?

ToppsCo1lector · November 6, 2006 1:42PM

I(of course) have the Giants winning. Even with an injury filled roster, the Giants have still been able to shutdown the run. They'll have a problem pressuring Grossman but I like there chances. I think the loss of Mike Brown will hurt them a lot against the Giants.

grote15 · November 6, 2006 2:06PM

If the Giants get in Grossman's face and Strahan is back from injury as expected the Giants have a real good chance to win this game.

What's up the Cowboys? Man, that was a tough loss yesterday. TO dropped what should have been the winning TD and then you get the crazy ending with the penalty. Inexcusable loss for Dallas, and a game they should have won easily. And why in the world is Tuna going for 2 in the freakin' 1st quarter?? That was plain dumb.

80sJunkie · November 6, 2006 2:46PM

What is eben more sad chicago got spanked at home. Yeah Im starting to agree first round playoff loss for chicago

stevek · November 6, 2006 2:49PM

<< I'm calling for the upset. >>

Helluva call!

ArnyVee · November 6, 2006 9:52PM

LOL....he called it about 20 minutes after the game was over...not sure if that counts

I had the real b@lls calling it several days before!

IrishMike · November 6, 2006 9:56PM

NEWFLASH!!!!!!!!!!! You can't hardly call a favored team beating an underdog an upset. Some of you need to turn on the gray matter before you click the keyboard.

However if it makes you feel better about your team to consider them the "dog" go for it.

stevek · November 6, 2006 10:19PM

Of course it counts. For example, Axtell still calls 'em wrong even after the game is over.

rbdjr1 · November 7, 2006 12:25PM

I called for a win by the Fish, but living here in South Florida, I say that every week !

You mean like eagle fans saying they beat the Bucs this year?
