Bears season starting = finding me in the comments. 7 one-score losses last year. With all the upgrades, a much easier schedule, and having some hope, that 7.5 line is a LOCK. Lions were handed a win last night but they looked good. Going to be tough to win the division but very doable. Playoff hopes this year, superbowl hopes next year with all the draft picks. Ready to have my heartbroken but I don't care!

Welcome back, sir!

I think that's a completely fair breakdown of the current situation. Ready to roll!

Bear the fuck down! Really hoping the offense doesn’t look rusty with all the shuffling on the offense line and limited reps for Fields in the preseason. This is a must win game for our sanity as Bears fans.

Btw the way Suzuki is playing right now, and Stroman hopefully coming back soon, makes the Cubs scary. At this rate my ideal playoff rotation would be Steele, Stroman and Wicks.

I think they will look rusty, but I think the Packers will look rustier. That's what I'm banking on. Not a stellar performance, just an outperformance.

I completely agree on the playoff rotation, especially in a Wild Card series.

Bears will be solid. They will be well coached. So much of this comes down to Fields performance. I am nervous. Just found out it is a 3:25 kickoff?!?!? 3 and 1/2 hours more of waiting?!?!? throws my whole plan off.

Cubs are fun to watch. New hero every day, rarely Happ. No holes in that lineup.

The only thing that beats a NOON NFL kickoff is a BIG Ten 11am kickoff. Enough waiting.

So pumped for Bear season. I do have a problem though and realized I am considered one of the worst types of fans there is. I was not happy after that dbacks loss last night. Still upset. That needs to stop. Lord help me, if the bears lose to the packers week one I am "Out" If they win it's a super bowl or bust type of mentality. I know its bad.

Jackie Donlan, awareness is the first step. Glad to see you acknowledge that weakness. I might be responsible but I will also have a front row seat to your emotional roller coasters.
