Calling All Bears Fans

[lots of luck]

Well another season is upon us Bears fans. Is there anything that you have seen in the off-season or pre-season that excites you or gives you any sense of hope.

I think the division is weak in comparison too much of the NFL. The teams within the NFC North are capable of giving a game away any given week. Maybe within the division there will be some good tight games or matchups.

My hopes are for a good defense, fair running game, and a passing game good enough to not lose games.

I may be the only guy excited about Kyle Orton, but I am a Purdue Grad, so I am bias on this one. He has shown a glimmer of hope, during pre-season at the QB position for a team that has had no hope at such position for years. He has size ans has been a very good college QB.

I don't know if a prediction is in order, but at this time I would think finishing somewhere in the bottom half of the division is the most logical.

Please don't turn my thread into a "Bears Suck" thread. That would be stating the obvious.

As a Vikes fan, I will say that the Bears have the lowest expectations but possibly the best defense in the division. They always play the Vikes tough and If they get any production out of the QB position it could make for a few upsets this season. I usually make the mistake of looking past the Bears and it ends up being a nailbiter!! If you guys can sweep GB this year you will finish ahead of them in the standings.... somewhere around 6-10 ???

Honestly, with a rookie QB and all the other probs the Bears have this year, I think 4-12 sounds about right. Good defense, thats about it.

Cautiously optimistic!!! Getting rid of Hutchinson has to help. I'm excited about Kyle as well. It's amazing that for untested as Grossman was that as soon as he went down every one cashed in the Bears season. I think their D will be great and if the O can get them some time on the sidelines I expect to see a few upsets. Nobody's giving them any chance so there's nothing to lose!

I hear you Scalescratcher.

Looks like there are just two of us. Maybe the others are just too em-BEAR-punked to post their liking for DA Bears.

Lots of luck - you need to get rid of that avatar before I die of laughter, absolutely cracks me up every time I see it. More cowbell!

Thanks Cooter.

If I decide to retire it, it may just be yours.

Divisional lead bears fans, strange feeling isn't it?
