Thread: DA BEARS

Now, usually I don't let myself get too amped about football until baseball wraps up, but I can't help it this year. Tomorrow night, Bears Vs. Bills. The Bears will own the NFC North this season.

I think I'll let you think that and see what happens during the season. But then again I've never held out hope that Bears fans were intelligent

Hard to get too excited about a preseason game though. That said the Bears have put together a good team. The Jay Cutler addition was a missing piece.

Receivers are over-rated, the QB makes the receiver.

It's probably difficult for most people to get excited about preseason, and it was impossible for me in the past, but this year I'm really interested to see who's going to step up because we finally have that missing piece. At the very least the Bears should be able to win any game, but we're going to need a healthy defense, something we've been lacking.

Why? Are they really going to be contenders or is the rest of the NFC north just shitty?

Both. The Vikings are the preseason favorites, and their passing game is suspect as fuck. Chicago has a legitimate QB, who should be able to open it up for Forte and the running game.

And what did we learn from the game? Anything about Jay Cutler? What did he take like 6 snaps.



What we learned is that the Bills third string can beat the Bears third string.

My friends that are Viking fans were getting all juiced up thinking about Brett Favre in a purple uniform. They could really use a QB.
