Oh and one more thing rol... GB may have more SBs but...

"The 1985 Chicago Bears are one of the few teams to consistently challenge the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins for the unofficial title of the greatest NFL team of all time. In 2007, the 1985 Bears were ranked as the second greatest Super Bowl championship team on the NFL Network's documentary series America's Game: The Super Bowl Champions, ranking behind the 1972 Dolphins. Many sources, however, such as ESPN, rate the 1985 Chicago Bears as the greatest NFL team ever."

From wikipedia on the 1985 Bears.

Are you really turning to Wikipedia and ESPN to support your opinion? Why not save everybody time and just outright concede the issue?

Is it too late to sign up?

No, it's not. If you do sign up, Week 1 will be recorded as 0-16 for you for obvious reasons though.


but of course! After the way I exploited and used you in your last mafia game!

Jokes aside, I'm more interested in my week by week predictions ratrher than my overall acheivements. So I'm fine with starting 0-16

ESPN is not the only one who rated them #1, but at worst the others have them at #2 behind '72 Dolphins. You can hit wiki and see all the sources if you'd like. But a team that went 15-1 and is the only NFL team to have back to back shutout games in the playoffs... I think '85 Bears proved themselves.

You remind me of my father. Pointing to team accomplishments that occured when half this site's members were still in their father's sack, reminiscing about players who retired before I was potty trained.

Actually, I take that back. The Raiders had more than one good year to point to.

Stop bad mouthing the Bears, Rol. The Packers defense is trash and Cedric Benson is their starting running back. He was trash on the Bears years ago. What does that make him now?

The Packers have a great passing game. I'll give you that, but they are deficient in every other area.

A guy who has something to prove against his old team.

They won a SB in '85 and have more NFL championships. (there was NFL prior to SB)

Yes, they won one. Hence why I said they have yet to win Super Bowls.

Citing Wikipedia, my ass. You are no better than the guys who cited EA developers to prove that the Wii was less powerful than the original Xbox. If your source is trash, then the opinion is worthless.

So the Bears had one good team in over 40 years. You are no better than Sony fans who only have past glory to be proud of, with no hope to be successful again, ever.

I love how you deflect into hurting me deep with comparisons that are anti-Nintendo. You are so cruel!!!! EVIL!!!!
