Don't understand your emotion about this.

No. FPI is “Football Power Index”. Basically it’s an algorithm developed by ESPN that makes predictions for individual games and the entire season. They are usually pretty accurate

Doesn't matter. Teams, especially opposing QB's, are already afraid of the Bears. Noone is excited to step onto the field across from that front 7, which is only going to get better the more Mack and Smith play in the system.
Now that Trubisky has shown that he can hit deep balls, the Gabriel/Cohen slant/screen game will cause some major damage.

No professional QB is "afraid" of another team's defense.

Too young to have seen the '85 Bears and haven't heard any interviews from back then?

I’m pretty sure NFL opponents don’t overlook teams based on ESPNs power rankings.

This FPI thing sounds stupid and wrong. Disregard.
Besides the Bears are going to kill the Rams.

I'm still shocked they aren't favored in every game. ESPN hates da Bears.

I’m pretty sure FPI rankings should be taken more seriously than basically pre season rankings.
