The Bears played five playoff teams all season. They were 2-3, but more telling, here was Chicago's offensive output in those five games: 7, 7, 13, 13, 9.
They were outscored 67-49 in those five games. That means they gave up an average of 13.4 points per game, including the two wins. Which is more than the highest score they were able to achieve in any of those five games.
Chicago benefitted from a seriously weak schedule, yet only were able to crack 20 points four times all year. If you'll look at the post below, you'll see that 10 of the 12 playoff teams average at least 22 points a game. Average.
It's going to be a short post-season for Team Overrated.

it seems to me that you have an unhealthy obsession with bashing the Bears.
i'm a die-hard, and while yes, the offense leaves ALOT to be desired, the Bears will at least get to the NFC title game.
Why, because the NFC is so Schizophrenic, you never know which team will show up. but I do know this, the Bears defense will show up at home in the divisional round of the playoffs.
and if, as I suspect they will, Seatlle lays a turd (their defense is not good) in their playoff game, the NFC title game will be at Soldier. the Bears won't lose at home.
B.J.: I am sure that the Bears fans you know from Minnesota are far, far more obnoxious than those here in Peoria.
And my brother is a Vikes fan. No more obnoxious sports fan ever lived.
Methinks you are prejudging.
