Mick just has to turn everything into a negative, calling it "realism".
But really, all it is is an Eeyore syndrome on steroids....

Just remember even if we don't win this game, all is not lost. As long as we get hot heading into the playoffs in January, we'll be fine...

Being optimistic rubs certain people the wrong way. Being overly optimistic causes tantrums around here.
Nobody can say you are wrong yet. Keep doing you and don't listen to the Nancies.

I obviously want the Bears to win every game but more than that i just want to see improvement every week. I will be fine with any record as long as we look good by the third quarter of the season.

This is what Bears fans say about the Packers every year: Oline banged up, can't run the ball, defense sucks, etc. And with few exceptions they have owned the Bears since the Favre era. People are in here saying non-Bears fans undervalue Mack - while they are totally undervaluing Graham.
Vegas has the Bears as 7.5 dogs after the Mack signing. That's a big spread in an NFL game. But what does Vegas know, they haven't been paying attention this offseason like we have.
I'd be happier than anyone if the Bears won. Shit I'd be happy if they beat the spread. But the blatant homerism on this board is insane. And what's funny is the people calling the Bears a lock Sunday night are gonna be the ones screaming "fire Pace" and "Trubisky sucks" on Monday.

The sharps will tell you, the best shot you have at Las Vegas is week one.

While i kind of agree with some of what you are saying. I would rather read this type of post than the ones who are 100% opposite. The truth is always somewhere in the middle.
There are the "homers" who see the glass mostly full, there are the "Nancies" who will never see anything but the negatives and the glass is completely dry, and then there is the middle which is apperently the "realists" who also don't know shit. It's all speculation. Just enjoy the season.

Not to mention a division rival favored by two scores. Always bet that line.

I promise if the Bears lose I won't be calling for heads. I actually think it's people more or less the negative people that call for the heads faster than homers if I'm being honest.

The bottom line is this off season has been a blast. Pace is hitting on all cylinders. I'm excited about the upcoming season but also the future of this franchise. The plan is starting to crystalize and on top of that Pace seized the opportunity to bring in arguably the best defender in football entering his prime.
I'm planning to enjoy it. This whole experience is so un-bearlike, I'm still a little off kilter.

Why/how we win. I think the pass rush gets Rodgers throwing quickly and our DBs pick up on that and jump some routes, and score. Yep score. I think our offense will put enough points up to win as long as our defense does what is expected. I don't believe GBs def will be able to get a handle on Nagy's play calling. Trubs will play fine. Howard will dominate. I can't even remember the last time I thought we had a good match up going against GB. PS. AR could go off and blow us out but I have no doubt we are the far better team overall. It's time to let GB know it too.

You guys are really over thinking things. All that needs to happen is for a Mack truck to run over Rodgers and it's game over. /end thread

Didn't our last 3 head coaches win their first game at Lamblo? Could be wrong and to lazy to look it up.

Actually, yes. Lovie promised to beat GB then promptly did so. Trestman beat GB after McClellin injured Rodgers. He then returned the favor on the last game of the season. Fox beat them on Thanksgiving. Not that it actually means anything, but nice piece of trivia

They did, although Trestman benefited from Rodgers leaving for the game early in the first quarter.

I'm right year in year out, while you homers look foolish. But that doesn't stop you doing it all over again every off-season.
Bearin', if you're that confident of a win I'll happily make a ban bet with you.

Why would anyone want anyone else banned? Why can't people be optimistic without some idiot calling them idiots?
