(Chicago, IL.) - As GM Mark Ricotta looks to become the first GM to 1,000 victories, the Chicago Bears attempt to make the playoffs for the first time in a decade. The Bears pose a unique blemish on Ricotta's record as GM: Since the Washington Redskins became the Chicago Bears in 2071, the Bears have been an above .500 team versus Buffalo. Since then, the Bears have outscored the Bills 104-86 and gone 3-2 against the Bills.
The Washington Redskins did not fare so well against the Buffalo Bills. From 2001 to 2070, the Redskins went 10-34 against the Buffalo Bills. Arguably, the dominance started in 2008, when Buffalo peeled the 'Skins in the regular season (9-20) and Sundby Cup (10-38). Buffalo proved to be especially tough late in the season for the 'Skins, where league game logs record consistent sub-50 degree temperatures, 100% humidity and ice cold rain.
To this day, some people around the league feel Buffalo has a distinct home-field advantage late in the season, where the chilly winds and frosty rain and Buffalo's consistently bone-crunching defense combine to put opponents out of commission. Chicago GM Z-Bo Zabroski has referred to Morgan Capper as [Morgan] 'Mr. Ice' [Capper], for the unnatural way in which he cuts passes through rain, sleet and snow.
