The Bears got blown out today. There were many reasons. So don't bore me with the excuses, I'm well aware of them. But at least there were two honest guys on the airwaves after the game tonight: O'Bradovich and Buffone.
Those two guys were hot. And justifibly so. Pros don't mail in games. Pros don't say after the game "we knew we were going to lose, that's not the point". Several players were quoted as saying that. And O'B and Buffone were right. It was a lame effort, regardless of who was on the field.
BTW, Rob, O'B and Buffone also reported that of the previous 39 Super Bowl winners, less than 5 have lost their last game of the regular season, That means whether they had clinched a playoff berth already or not, championship teams show up every week.

Indy rested starters and still found a way to win. Jacksonville, the NY Giants, and Denver all rested starters...all won. I'd look for one of them to win the Super Bowl, if form holds. And I think it will.
Quick update:
Chicago fans now can officially stop using the "#1 defense" thing. Tampa Bay finished first in overall defense this year, not the Bears.
Chicago finished 11th overall against the rush, 5th against the pass, and second in yards allowed overall.
Chicago did finish first overall in points allowed, but got to play the three worst scoring offenses in the league (N.O., S.F. and Cleveland) as well as Detroit (5th from the bottom) twice.
