They must hand out maps to Panther players that only have Chicago as a destination.

Here is an article from Lance Briggs that says with the Harris signing as well as the Peppers signing they will contend for a championship. It would suck for us if they essentially take some of our key veteran players and go deep in the playoffs especially if we go nowhere this year. Maybe after playing here McCown knows something about the potential for Chicago to excel this year and wants to be part of it.

Let me find a link where EVERY CHICAGO BEARS FAN/ANALYST/PLAYER/REPORTER said the exact same thing when they traded for Cutler.

see what I did there? ;)

Then again, maybe McCown is just desperate for a job.

Problem last year in addition to all the Ints was a poor offensive line and porous defense. The offensive line is still suspect but like Moore last year, if the defense plays well, you don't have to score 30 points to win. Martz will fix the offense and now with the defensive restored they will likely win the NFC North this year. Especially if Favre doesn't come back.

Fox is going to be Lovie's replacement

Wouldn't blame him a bit for wanting to go there. At least Chicago seems willing to spend the money to build a playoff team. Fox likes veterans and that team is full of them. Given we beat them routinely I suspect that they could do a lot worse than hire Fox.

Ever think the bad defense can be linked back to Cutlers turnovers? It's hard to play good defense when you're on the field twice as long as you should be.

Their offensive line isn't "suspect." It's terrible, and will be the reason their offense struggles. Cutler/Forte/etc will not be able to be successful with that offensive line. I think their defense will be outstanding, possibly top 5, but that wouldn't be enough.

and... No they will not likely win the NFC North. Even if Favre is back, the Packers will more than likely take the division. Bears will be #3 in the division.

Bet Pep has it written into his contact.....No Fox.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
