Reports Of Da Bears Demise Pre-Mature?

[4and12to12and4]

Hey 4and12to12and4, you are mistaken, we are NOT proud of losing the SB ! We are however proud to have gotten there! And damn proud of the fact that we are going back again this season ! "a BIT better" is an understatment ! Da BEARS are so much better then the pack this year both on paper and on the field. How many times... oh well, ok you beat Da BEARS second and third stringers ! WhoopdieDoo ! (Get over it, we have !)

Yes you are proud of it, cuz you don't stop talking about it. We could go on for hours discussing which positions are better on each team, but we have you in CB's, QB's, DT's are close, OL is close, LB's are close, and if Mr. Hester doesn't pull another probowl type year this season, you guys aren't that much better than us. I mean, you can say we beat you with 2nd stringers, but we both know we were kickin' yer ass before the replacements came in, and I've watched that game 20 times, the Bears, regardless of the BS Grossman said, WERE busting their asses, they knew how important this game was for their fans, if not, why did Grossman and the starters even play the entire first half? Because Lovey and Co. DID NOT want to lose that game. Period. We kicked you're ass and we're the better team that night. Deal with it. I can't wait unitl October 7th.

The Bears have some very glaring problems that the rosy preseason puff pieces conveniently overlook :
1. Losing Thomas Jones was huge. Cedric Benson is just not the smart, gutsy/tough runner, and to boot, his teammates dislike him. His wonderful Super Bowl 'performance' tells you what he's all about. The decision to let Jones go and place faith in this bozo is one all Packer fans will love very soon.
2. Tommis Harris' hamstring injury appears to have robbed him of the quick first step his game was built around. Losing the very underrated Ian Scott - who plugged things up so Harris could penetrate - and replacing him with journeyman Darwin Walker, who is known for disappearing for long stretches, is also going to negatively affect the defense.
3. The offensive line is now still another year older. Reuben Brown's already declining effectiveness is not helped by another birthday candle. Fred Miller, the right tackle, already having trouble handling speed on the outside, has yet another year of wear and tear on his bones, and looks to be in for a tough season.
4. Rex Grossman is still, well, Rex Grossman. As long as the Bears have to rely on Mr. Erratic Chicago talk will continue to center on their 85 team.

Declining teams are rarely identified in the preseason hoopla. It seems that prognosticators merely look to the past season and predict about the same results. That's why every year that several teams that were supposed to be good (because they were successful the previous season) fall flat and it's a big 'surprise'.
And : there are always the occasional, oh, 8-8 teams, shall we say, that suddenly emerge as 'Cinderella' contenders that the 'experts' just never saw developing steadily over time.

Shadow, Shadow, Shadow, you are a very insecure, confused fan, please allow me to help.
First take that rotten cheese off your head, it has blurred your vision so badly that you think the pack accualy has a chance to go 8 - 8. Pour that kool-aid out and get some JD, your gonna need a strong shot once the regular season starts and you see how bad the pack realy is. Now one last thing you can do is to say to yourself over an over, ... next year, next year, NEXT YEAR !

LOL@MadtownPacker ! maybe, maybe.....

[The Shadow]

Hmmm... Bearboy, you never addressed the Bear weaknesses, so succinctly laid out by yours truly.
You see them too, don't you Furry One?

Shadow,
#1, TD is a great RB, and Da BEARS will miss his productivity, however, Benson showed signs of greatness last year. He is reported to be doing very well in camp. "bozo" ? We shall see who's the BOZO as he runs threw your defence ! Benson is a dimond in the ruff, just wait and see !
#2, The reports from camp say Tommie Harris is even faster now, somthing about shortening his tenden? Brian says he is faster then he has ever seen him. Walker is a vetern that will help alot. Our rookie, Dusty is healthy and looking to make an impact. Our D line is going to be better then last year !
#3, Our O line is one of the best in the NFL ! Veterns all, pro bowl center. Brown declining? WTF ? Where do you get your info ? Miller, Tait, Browm, Krutz all best at their posisions ! stop
#4, As far as Rex, He has been training to step up into the pocket and not throw off his back foot. He is also being told to run the ball when no one is open, instead of forcing a pass that may be intercepted. Word is he is having a GREAT camp.
#5, With all the veterns looking good, Rex getting better, the defence playing as well or better then ever, Hester on offence and two TE sets, Da BEARS look to run the NFCN, the NFC, and go to the SB again !

Miller, Tait, Browm, Krutz all best at their posisions

Laughable.

Da BEARS look to run the NFCN, the NFC, and go to the SB again

Only to rip your heart again by losing to an AFC team again in the Super Bowl. Maybe you could get a Bills-like run going. Then again, maybe your team will almost be a "fart in the wind."

I wouild like to add to your good post that Bearfan DaBaddestBear need to go back to Lovies introductory press conference where he stressed the imnportance of beaing the Packers. If they wern't busting their ass in that last game, then that goes against what Lovie stands for. But for the Bear trolls, excuses they are making are intended to rationalize getting their ass handed to them.

That team down South is a bunch of massive chokers until proven otherwise. They almost blew their bye week home playoff game again last year. They looked terrific against the Saints. Then the stunk again against the Colts.

You have to be reasonably consistent to win the whole thing. They aren't. Not yet.

That Superbowl was played without Key players on defense in All pro's Brown and Tommie Harris. Add to that mix a nice addition to DT position, a sure handed top speed TE, with a new WR weapon to accompany the speedy Berrian and Moose and you have an much improved team. Are you actually reading the reports from camp on the Bears? Or better yet even this report posted here? Rex is better, Benson is quicker and more surehanded out the backfield than outsiders previously thought, and The WR corp is better and deeper than last year. But I will try not to get too excited till they start hitting other teams...lol.

How many games have the Bears played this year?

Everyone looks great in training camp. Mike Tomczak was the greatest training camp QB of all time.

Bears clowns have lots of experience rationalizing losses. Especially losses to the Packers.
