i agree that is he overrated....and ultimately i think he is what will be the cause of the bears not making it to the superbowl.  i think he'll screw up in the playoffs and he defense won't be able to dig him out of the whole he makes

huge bears and chi-town fan here thank you very much. I wasnt born when they won the superbowl(which really sucks!) but my parents taped it and i've seen it. i say this is the year they go far in the playoffs with there awesome d. the only thing missing is a good offense....\nand of course my opinion is "DA BEARS RULE!!!"

They should have a strong showing in the playoffs, but right now my Bears are still the class of the NFC! Be patient though. With Drew Brees and Reggie Bush there are good things to come from the Saints! Just not this year!

I don't know why anyone should have to appologize for a 9-1 football team, but it appears that we do. It seems that many fans feel that the Bears are "lucky" to be at 9-1 and the Patriots are "better" than their record of 7-3. \n\nI feel its the reverse. This Bears team is a young team and unacustomed to the glare of their sudden celebrity success. I think they are VERY good and are actually "unlucky" NOT to be at 10-0. The Pats with Brady and Belichick are on the other hand, as usual playing ABOVE their overall talent level. That means that with a "regular" QB and a "regular" coach, this would be a 5-5 team at best.\n\nMany feel that as the Bears don't actually "need" this game, its almost a "gimme" for the Pats. I think the Bears need EVERY game to keep the momentum rolling right to the bitter end and they will be silly boys indeed to have any letdowns along the way. This is a game that will test everybody but especially Lovie Smith. Can he actually go toe to toe with the biggest in the business, Belichick? (Cuz if he CAN'T, it will not be a happy ending for a season where he is going to have to face more Big Boys like Holmgren, Parcells or Fox, then Billick, Dungy or Shanahan.....)\n\nMy gut says the Bears are ready to step it up a notch while the Pats are already "up a notch" and have nothing left for the "turbos."\n\nDa Bears.........

You Chicago fans make me puke. "They suck!" "Grossman should be yanked!" "The coaching staff are awful!" "They have no offence!"\n\nBlah, blah, whine, natter, blah, blah, blah..... They are 9-2 you morons. A couple of years down the road when they are 2-9 again, the same whiners of today will be willing to cut off their right arms just to see the Bears have a season like this again...

Clearly you are not from Chicago nor have you ever watched a Bears game.  I have watched every game this season, and I am always amazed at how Urlacher is in on almost every tackle.  They man moves so fast.  No matter what side a running back chooses to run to, Ulracher is there.  There is no way he is overrated.  In fact, I think ESPN has to stop talking about T.O. so much and start talking about how we are watching one of the top 10 linebackers EVER in the history of the NFL.

No, they're not.\nI think they've played better than many expected.\nI still stand to what I said before. The most overrated team is England! The comments they drew after their victory over T&T on ESPN were very scathing - and reflected waht happened..

The "Bears" the former undefeated team suck.

the human polls are filled with bias..  they pick their votes based on a team's reputation.. not just based on this year..\n\nrutgers is another team that doesn't get the respect it deserves.. yes, they sucked from 1980-2004, but this is 2006! they are as good as any out there..\n\nSEC teams seem to get too much respect. yes LSU is good, but hey, they have 2 losses.. Rutgers doesn't.\n\nand i agree, wisconsin is a great team, their only loss was to one of the best teams..  so that shouldn't hurt them too much.\n\nnotre dame is way overrated too. they have struggled to beat many weak teams, michigan state and ucla, for example..\n\nthe major think going against wisconsin, is that they are #3 in their conference.. too bad they don't get a crack at both michigan and ohio state this year.. that would have given then a chance to show how good they can be!\n\nbut don't  worry.. they will still get a major bowl, and that will bring money, fame and hype to the school.

Even though I'm a bears fan, I think the Packers are a pretty good team.  There problem extends to last year when they put together a new offensive line.  That caused major problems for a stellar run-team and also problems for Brett Favre.  I was excited to see the bears pound on Brett Favre, the person responsible for giving me headaches season after season. \n\nTo answer your question though, the packers are probably getting more experienced working to together and I'm actually noticing that Brett is playing a lot like his old self.  Packers won't be a contender and it's probably time for Brett to retire, but they are still an ok team.

How can some of you even consider Bill Parcells as "underrated"?\n2 Super Bowl Championships, revived the Pats and Jets and Cowboys.  I mean, are you people insane or just stupid?\n\nHow about, oh i dont know, Brian Billick?  Got the Ravens to the Super Bowl and won, and yet the Ravens are never considered a threat to anyone?\n\nHow about John Fox, and the Panthers, how he turned that team around? \n\nAnd Lovie Smith?  I mean, the Bears are looking like a Super Bowl contender if you ask me (and im a Giants fan).\n\nSome of you people just wow me with stupid answers.....
