Bears 27, Seahawks 24- OT
Good as Gould.
The Bears won it on a 50-yard field goal in overtime by their All-Pro kicker, Robbie.
Thoughts on the NFC Championship Game at Soldier Field next week: The Saints are going to bring the pressure on Rex- and Rex doesn't do pressure very well. Nor is the Bears defense- which was once the best in the league- the same without Mike Brown and Tommy Harris.
Better hope for Bear weather. Cold Snow. Wind. Go, Brrrrrrrrrs!
ADDENDUM: Too bad about the Chargers, who deserved to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Oh, well. If we can get past the Saints next week, it would be nice to do the one thing the '85 Bears were denied the chance to do when those same Patriots beat Miami in the AFC title game back then: beat a team in the Super Bowl that had beaten them in the regular season.

Yeah, it was classic Schottenheimer: Go 13-3 in the regular season, lose the first game of the playoffs at home by a field goal. Though any further comparison to Kansas City's loss in 1996 to Indy is to smear Nick Kaeding by comparing him to Lin Elliott.
