You realize that you can be "not the worst team in the league" one year, get better and still be the worst team in the league the following year, right?

I don't think the Bears are the worst team in the league, but your logic is flawed.

Who is this person and what member of the Bears killed their family? Honestly, that's about the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

They're not the worst but they're close enough. Does it really matter?

Smart modern journalism right there. Pick the most popular team in the bottom 1/4 of the league last year and put them dead last in your power ranking! Their fan base will take notice and flock to your site in droves then spread link on message boards everywhere that teams fans congregate....


The only thing off season power rankings are good for is to generate add revenue.

THE BEARS GOT NO RESPECT FROM THE NATIONAL MEDIA!

And how much have they exactly earned recently?

Yep, click bait. Obvious as all hell but it works every time. I didn't even waste my time reading it. Who cares at this time of year?

If this came out right before Week 1, it could be bulletin board. But in May, I doubt they even know.

Yep, i think the Bears have improved enough on coaching, improved the D through FA and the O through the draft to be a solid middle of the road team this year. They may start 0-4 but by the seasons end they will have fucked up their draft position with enough wins to be picking around 15th.

I remember back in the 60s and 70s. I was totally nuts on the Bears and bought into the optimism of the local announcers and reporters cause it was all we had. The truth was we were always closer to the bottom than the top. It was never about winning a game but following individual performances like Walter and Gail and Butkus. We watched games just to see if Doug Plank would kill someone. That's no way to follow football. Couple dream seasons in the 80s and mid 2000s, but outside of that just a total shit franchise.

People here pray for change but when they get it they have to reset and end up losing another 5 years. But they never ask if the new regime will innovate or just be an improvement on the old. John Fox may be a great and likable guy but is he the innovator we need? No. So we get 5 years of 7-9 wins and will end up starting over

I think you may be on to something here. Who remembers the Denver playoff game they lost the year before the Super Bowl with Fox as HC? In 2012 they were down 38-35 against Baltimore and instead of putting it in Manning's hands they handed the ball off, got stuffed, and lost. What coach makes that kind of decision? Hopefully Fox learned from that, but fortunately that situation won't come up with Cutler under center.

There was another game where there was 30 seconds before halftime and the Broncos were on the opponents 45 yard line and Fox made Manning take a knee. WTF

Those are 2 examples of why Bronco fans were glad Fox was gone

We just gave you 2 examples of stupid shit that Fox did during games. He is like the white Lovie in his game management. The Bronco fans saw his stupidity and wanted him gone.
