My favorite teams
Yeah, like most of you, I assumed the Bears were going to go all in on offense, say "fuck the season" and then take care of defense next year. We all were fucking wrong. But Jesus, I am not going to cunt on and on about it.
The sober reality is this:
While the Offensive line needs some help, and we all wanted a top flight WR, it was the Bears defense, particularly their secondary, that was far and away the biggest hole on this team.
The Bears now have 2 shut down corners, and 2 ball hawking safeties. If the picks play to their potential, and Eddie returns to form in this system, you have your secondary for the next 10 years.
And on top of it, we got a WR that's got a little Hester in him on returns. Seriously - go watch the dude.
Meanwhile, there are always post draft cuts, and almost always decent offensive linemen are let go to make way for the new hotness.
Maybe the Bears saw something more in their mini camp that made them want to go defense. Who knows.
Overall, the Bears are a better team right now. Maybe now they are a 6 win team instead of a 3 win team, but the Bears got better. This was always going to be a process.
