I find myself not really caring too much about today’s Bears-Eagles tilt. If the Packers returning to the Super Bowl is going to happen this year, going to Philly and winning in January is definitely doable, in my mind. Philly does not seem like the same team this year, and I wonder if they’ve been figured out to an extent (at least on offense). And maybe I’m a fool, but after watching LaFleur coach yesterday’s game, I suspect he would approach a rematch with Fangio quite differently than he did in that game a few weeks ago.
Plus, I haven’t an opinion about this, but if one is inclined to believe in the prophecy, perhaps a road win against the Eagles has a certain fated edge to it?
