Mark Anderson boasts “We’re heading to the Super Bowl” Jinx to take effect right…about…now
Bears defensive end Mark Anderson, obviously feeling the high from Sunday’s 34-7 trumping of the Detroit Lions, has declared that the Bears will represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLIII.
The Bears are currently 3-2 and in sole possesion of first place in the NFC North. Although, they have played well enough to be undefeated.
But does Anderson not realize what city he plays football in? The Cubs were headed to the World Series too. But then fans started to think it and Sports Illustrated killed called it and the Gods of fate were none to pleased.
Super Bowl, Mark? I might have made that argument too. Until your proclaimation ensured that in the next six weeks 13 players will go down with freakish injuries, Soldier Field will catch fire after being struck by lightning, and Kimbo Slice will be T.K.O’d by a self described goofy homo. Ohhhh shit.
In reality, the Bears have the upper hand on any team in the NFC North right now because they’re a complete team — excellent special teams, defense, and run; complimented by a satisfactory passing game.
Are they good enough to be placed in the upper echelon of the NFC? They’re close. With a remaining schedule featuring only a handful of tough teams, but including Atlanta, Detroit, St. Louis, Houston, and Green Bay and Minnesota at home, the Bears could certainly make a playoff run.
You know, if it wasn’t for the whole plethora of mangled-limbed players and flame-engulfed endzones.
Well Mark’s words could be more realistic if he’d play half as good now as he did in his rookie season.
haha its only game five. i believe you should have confidance in your team, just dont get TOO ahead of yourself. its too early for that.
Mark Anderson is Nostradamus with a furious pass rush.
