I think it's all on Chicago's OC, their success or lack thereof is all on the coaches. The team is LOADED with talent.

I’m really pulling for this kid. I’ve been watching the Bears since I was 7 in 1977, so I don’t get too happy about a QB, until I see results. I’m still mad we traded McMahon.

Thanks for showing Tyson some love.

It is so much fun watching their fans ALWAYS crying after EVERY loss due to the refs either making bad calls, failing to make calls or both. And who can forget the Viqweens’ 0-4 Super Bowl record of losses! Even their absolutely greatest coach, Bud Grant, was from and continued to live in Superior, WI throughout his 94 years of life. They proclaimed their ‘best ever quarterback’ in Brett Favre who was only such due to playing with the Packers. Even their pussyfooted Metro-Breast stadium collapsed upon itself due to snow load. And we Green & Gold beat the shit out of those purple pussies more than they do us. Yep, love ém. Geaux Vikes.

And we have plenty of depth pieces at receivers and TE2 and RB. So I feel that we have plenty of talent on offense, actually the most I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. Now it’s all on paper, but I think it will translate to the field. Now Detroit we beat once and everyone knows we had them twice, we lost our double digit lead in the last 4 minutes. (Qb errors) we beat your Vikings, but you had no qb, (neither did we). Packers we’ll be able to beat at least once. Since we were last in our division we’ll have the weakest schedule. So I don’t think that I’m delusional actually everything I wrote is quite realistic. If you think JJ is as good of a passer as Caleb is we won’t see eye to eye.
