I used to have a dream where all of the armies of every country in the world were chasing me and I would hide underneath a piano. That wasn't real.
Is this?
I know the Bears are pretty close to being the most important thing in my life but the emotions I felt watching that football game yesterday were the closest I may ever get to fatherhood. I wasn't just excited and pumped...I was proud. I was proud to see these fifty-three men in the navy blue and orange that fills my veins play to their potential and win a game unlike any I've ever seen them win before.
Remember, these were the Carolina Panthers that everyone - as far back as Saturday - had hotel rooms booked for in Detroit come February. What happens when you beat the best team in the conference? What happens when you dominate them? Are you the best team in the conference? Can you believe these questions are even being asked?
I'll leave the numbers and stats to Dave for his column this week. But one thing: is there any team in the NFC that you think can beat the Bears in their house in January?
Me neither.
Here at DaBearsBlog, you are free to kill us or the Bears as you so wish. You are not free, however, to be an asshole. So if you spew racism or ill-meaning foul language (cursing about football is just fine) or anything of that ilk, your comments ain't gonna last long, jerk.
