      Can the Bears Go Undefeated???

By Vic Waldron

With the Bears dominance thus far on both sides of the ball talk has 
begun on whether or not they can actually run the table and have the 
first perfect season since the '72 Dolphins. As we all know N-F-L stands 
for "Not For Long" which is why several teams have flirted with 
perfection only to be denied at the end. Regardless of how good a team 
is it is very difficult winning 19 games in a single season. The Bears 
look great now but you never know when they might get tripped up. The 
following list of "pitfall" games for the Bears are provided for your 
entertainment only.

*Potential Pitfall Games in the Bears Quest for Perfection*
/1. Week 6 at Arizona/: Matt Leinart will be the opposing QB and he 
managed to light up the Bears during the preseason. Combine that with 
the Bears dismal history on Monday nights and..........
.......Let's be real here. The only reason why this game is listed is 
because every /next game /will be at the top of the list. Looking ahead 
is always dangerous.

/2. Week 12 @ New England/: The Bears would presumably come into this 
game 11-0 so playing on the road with NE looking for the big takedown 
could result in a loss. Add in the fact that Bill Belichick is a great 
game planner and Brady and Co. don't make many mistakes on offense the 
Bears D could see few opportunities for big plays. If the Bears come 
back home in December 12-0 I'm putting my money down on 16-0.

/3. Week 10 @ NY Giants/: 9-0, the Meadowlands, likely a prime time game 
thanks to the NFL's new flex scheduling. The Giants have more weapons on 
offense than any other team the Bears will play down the stretch so they 
might just give up.......17 points in this one. The Giants looked good 
in a 19-3 win against the Redskins but looked horrible in their pasting 
by the Seahawks. Who knows which Giants team will show up?

/The rest:/
Week 14 @ St. Louis: Looking good at 4-1, Monday night, will be gunning 
to be the spoiler. What? They lost to the 49ers??  Never mind.
Week 7 BYE: Gotta watch out for that ever dangerous "Bye" on the 
schedule every year.
Week 16 @ Detroit: Bears have historically had difficulties winning in 
Detroit. Then again that was before Jon Kitna.
Week 17 vs. Green Bay: B-R-E-T-T F-A-R-V-E.
Week 13 vs. Minnesota: This game will determine the winner of the NFC 
North. I mean, how many games the Bears will win the division by.
Week 11 @ NY Jets: Only because it's a road game.
Week 9 vs. Miami: Two NFC North castoff QBs on the same team? I'm trembling.
Week 15 vs. Tampa: You heard it here first, it will be 7 below zero in 
Chicago for this game and that's /without /the wind chill.
Week 8 vs. 49ers: I don't think so.
