Again, how can a team that didn't lose anybody and gained health be "slightly worse". That makes ~ 0 sense.

Let's see. They lost their best special teams player. Lost their #1 draft pick. Are/were attempting to sign fred miller for o-line help because it's still in shambles. Lost their best receiver.

Harris barely played this pre-season and can't go without a knee brace because he's "healthy"

Tillman misses just about everything because of his daughter (right thing for him to do obviously, but it sure won't help him on the field early in the year)

Clark has knee problems. Quite a few others have injuries as well.

The bears had great starting field position most of last year and how did that work out?

The list goes on..

But you're right, they lost nothing and no flaws whatsoever.

Really? I didn't know we had the #1 draft pick last year, coulda swore he was still in college back then. Oh and we lost our best special teams guy? When did we trade Hester? We'll find out if Ayanbendayhohoho was good or if it was just that #23 guy making him look good.

Dvorcheck? Played what, 1 quater last year. Yeah no biggie having him back.

Why does Tillman missing make him automatically worse? Tons of guys skip shit in the off season and play fine.

I'm glad Clark is hurt, then they have to throw to Olsen and new TE that looks good.

We lost our "best receiver" hahahaha. You can take that POS Berrian and old man muhammed any day. I'll take a high school WR over those 2 losers. Berrian dropped and gave up on more balls than I thought was humanly possible. Muhamed is old and can't catch anymore. Good riddance.

The bears had great starting field position last year and won 7 games and lost a couple close ones, with no RB, no QB, and a hurt D. So that somehow means they'll only win 3 games this year? Stupid.

I'm not saying they'll win the superbowl, but to say they'll be lucky to get 3 wins is about the dumbest thing I've heard all day.

When did I say they'll be "lucky" to win 3? Adding words for effect eh?

Your glass is half full, mine is half empty. Rather than argue back and forth anymore why don't we see how things are later in the season. Feel free to flame the hell out of me if the bears are doing better than my prediction. I don't have a problem admitting when I was wrong.

yeah, the "lucky" really added a ton to my argument.

Bears have 3-4 win season.


And I'll be sure to look you up after their 5th win.

You do seem like the type to gloat even if they go 5-11. Still, I hope I'm wrong.

You Bears fans are doing our jobs for us. Is it all the years of failure from the Cubs that makes you this way? Seriously I keep wanting to post "Bears suck!" or something but you guys really have it covered.

Chicago doesn't have an excuse, they at least had the 85 Bears and the Bulls in the 90s. If you want a true city that is full of fail its gotta be Cleveland.

Although if you really care only about one sport/team, and that team happens to be the Bears, well if you're honest enough to yourself you'd realize they really haven't had a legit team in 20 years so I'm sure its pretty frustrating.

I wouldn't be proud of a 5-11, since you said 4 wins tops I meant after they win #5 during the season.

People confuse defending my team with thinking they'll win it all. I know they suck, but there's not a chance in hell they go from 7 wins to 3 with the exact same, if not better, team.

Oh and I couldn't care less about the Cubs, my baseball team already won a WS in '05.

I wouldn't be proud of a 5-11, but itd still be fun to point out how stupid it is to claim 3 wins.

we are just realistic on the chances of the team. the do suck. they have sub-par QB and shitty O-line.

BUT i don't see them only getting 3 wins. should be at least 4-5 and perhaps 6.


as for the cubs? i been a cub fan for over 25 years i just hope and pray that they actually win a WS before i die!..doubt it though heh.

Bears over Indy - Manning is not 100% and gets sacked 3 times and leaves on a cart. Chicago starts off the season 2-0 with no Peyton or Smith. Boo ya

Indy could go without a quarterback and still beat the Bears

Hahaha...not that the Bears really have a great QB anyways...hahaha

why is everyone choosing buffalo over seattle? seattle's gonna rape.

Buffalo is a team a lot of people are predicting to turn it around. They do have a lot of young talent, but I personally don't see it happening.

Hassle is missing a bunch of his receivers and I'm not sure about their running game, plus it's in Buffalo. I think it will be pretty close.

Yessss I just logged in to check my fantasy rosters before the game started, I was greeted with:

WR Chad Ocho Cinco, Cin WR

For some reason, that made me happy.

I like your attitude with the Hawks! If you go to any of the games we should meet up for some beers before hand. I go to all Hawks games when I am in town.

As for the Hawks on Sunday, I am a little nervous (only because its in Buffalo) but I think we will win.
