Not Brett's Last Game


Kenneth Sothman, Bears Superfan

First things first: Believe it or not, I agree with everybody's opinion over Sunday's game. It seems like Brian and his boys are coasting through a little too much, and worse yet, our season-ending tailspin is just making other teams lose respect for us. Seriously, do you think any team really fears playing against the Bears, with a 50/50 chance that either the offense or defense will fold?

But like Gail pointed out, a win is a win, and we as fans should be proud of the team that could finish the season with a 14-2 record. It's something truly special, and Superbowl championship or no Superbowl championship, this team is going to go down as one of the best teams we've ever watched.

Personally, I for one am very dissapointed in the moving of the game to night, but I guess this would make the perfect ending that not even Vince Mcmahon could have scripted better. Is there anything that beats shutting out the Packers in the very first game of the season at Lambeau, and then beating the Packers on NBC during the final game of the season at home? Add in 12 other wins, most of them either blow-outs or complete roller-coasters, and you have one exciting season.

But then again on the other hand, playing on the final game of the season could turn nightmarish too. But we won't get into that scenario...

On a side note, did anybody receive any fun Bears merchandise over the holidays?

Edit at 3:49 p.m.:

I forgot to make my point of the title, I believe there's about a snowball's chance that tomorrow night is Brett Favre's last game. Green Bay is a young team and has a chance to finish with 8-8 record, and there's no way Favre is going to go out on a non-playoff year. Especially if there's a chance they can improve, and possibly get about ten wins out of their schedule in a not-so-great conference.

Now if for some reason the Packers do win, and somehow everything goes right and they do make the playoffs, then sure, it will be his last game.

But tomorrow night, Bears win 24-17, and Bears fans can ring in the new year in style.
