ok i am a big bears fan, but i've really been down on them since our super bowl appearance (we were even pretty lucky just to get there). but management and the owner got their act together and finally spent the bucks because a lot of fans (especially me) have been calling for lovie's head. so yeah basically i think they'll at least be a playoff team. adding mike martz as OC helps big time, so cutler should be expected to have big year now.
all that said, part of me wishes they suck one more year so we can finally clean house of the gm, head coach, president, etc. then we can actually have a decent draft instead of this year where we traded away half the picks. you from chicago?
