More importantly than who and how they played, the Bears won! They got over the psychological and media hump of the last five years. Though I hate agreeing with Urlacher sound bites, he was correct when he said, "It doesn't matter how we win; we just won."
Remember these are the NFL playoffs, one more win and they are in the Super Bowl. The
Bears have their swagger back and the 800lbs gorilla off of their back. This team is far from perfect, but all of the remaining teams are very beatable. New Orleans has been playing better ball lately, but coming into Soldier (resod every week) field in January is a crapshoot.
The Bears have that intangible quality of luck this season. Are they as good as their record; certainly not. But they continue to win despite themselves. The MVP of this team is clearly Gould, he always comes through. In the end results are what count and the Bears are leading in that category.

i agree with jackson, the bears might be winning ugly, but they're winning. breakfast predicts that da bears will win the superbowl. they look hungry and they don't give up. the sportswriters pessimism seems only to spur them on. an '85 superbowl repeat with bears and pats seems possible!
Unfortunately, if breakfast is right in his prediction and it's bears pats again, the outcome will be quite different.
