As a half mod wishing Nvan dead gets you a ban. That is all.

I would say that I am not an optimist nor a realist with this team. I believe that I am a pragmatist at this point. We lost to three good teams and barely beat two pretty bad teams. Where they are as a team is yet to be determined. I like what has been done to the defense but not so much with the offense.

The CCS version:

Homers: Anyone that roots for this team through thick and thin, looks for the positives and improvements, and overall just enjoys the sport. Have a tendency to overlook the team deficiencies with a "glass is half full" mentality. Keeps rivalries alive and knows in their heart the truth: Green Bay does truly suck. Typically live longer and lead more fulfilling lives. Often referred to as meatballs by the realists.

Realists: Masquerade as the objective elite. Cantankerous by nature, they love to shit all over any joy that the homers have found by vomiting embittered cynicism into threads daily. Are more obsessed with proving others wrong than the sport itself and revel in the "I told you so" posts. Enjoy cunting over antiquated arguments that were already ended months ago (see Brandon Marshall). Somehow manage to spin the most endearing victory into Greek tragedy. Typically miserable, stunted humanoids that resemble something of a cross between LOTR Golem and that morbid kid from 'Kindergarten Cop." Also known as Packer Apologists for their ridiculous attempts to shame others that enjoy watching division rivals choke. Die at an earlier age compared to the national average.

That. is. beautiful. Well done.

So....

Just to bring this to a close.

Cutler lovers still feel he is their reason to live.

Bears fans still feel that we won and hope we keep winning as a team. 3rdnlong seems to epitomize the OP GOING OVER HIS HEAD. Not at all surprising.

Naw. There are a lot of people in between this "nirvana" and "hell". I went into this season extremely skeptical of the Bears team and especially the organization which I have had no confidence in since the Old Man died. However, I also think that they are a positive improvement from the last regime. The defense has a decent identity it appears and that is a huge difference from the last regime. I think Cutler has improved from what he was last year in his mobility and decision making.

I do not particularly think that the offense is any better than last year nor that Fox is anykind of an above average coach. But they are more competitive than the abortion of last year. You have to give them that. No GM taking over a terrible team is going to resurrect things right away and Pace has made a few dumb decisions. That being said, he also has made some good ones.

Like I said, right now I am a pragmatist. I wish I was more positive but not just yet.
