Gail, Bears Superfan

I think that it's fantastic that the Bears won the play-off game. Instead of finding fault with the wins I think the fans and media should be congratulating them. Everyone involved with the Bears from the owners, coaches and staff, players and families, and fans want the team to now win the Championship and the Super Bowl. And like the players, I believe that they will win. But in the event that they don't, why take the attitude "wait till next year" when the 2006 Bears have already accomplished so much?

There's been so much said as to what they should have done in games instead of focusing on the actual win that it doesn't seem like the players are having fun. It's like every week they are expected to prove again that they can win. They seem to be fighting an uphill battle.

All throughout the preseason and regular season I have had my doubts and criticism about Rex, but during the Chargers/Pats game they showed a commercial (I can't remember what it is actually for) where the characters are making comments which are supposed to show that they really don't know what is going on. The first scene is two fellows in a car. The passenger says, "The Chicago fans really love their quarterback, Rex Grossman", and the driver just turned and stared at him. That commercial made me feel so bad for Rex. All along I felt that nothing could shatter his confidence but I have had a change of heart the last couple weeks.

This season has been and still is a learning experience for the coaches and players. You could probably count on one hand all involved who have gone this far before. Even Lovie doesn't always make the right decisions. But are you planning to grade them like in school: all right, you came up with the correct answer but I don't like the way you came up with it so I give you a C instead of an A?

Give the Bears their props. They deserve it. And it's not over yet. We still have to beat Indianapolis in the Super Bowl.

GO BEARS!
