I think a lot of fans perspective comes from trusting the bears to get better from year to year. History says that doesnt happen. The core of this team is clearly better and coaching is a huge upgrade. If Caleb takes the next step and I think he will , we are an 11 win team on the floor and a SB trip on the ceiling. My trust is in BJ to maximize the strengths of this team. If we added one upscale DE , the whole fanbase would have much higher expectations but everything else is in place, Another player getting 4 or 5 more sacks isnt going to derail us from our goals. Only major injuries can do that.

1- healthier 2- more speed 3- player upgrade with Bush-Bryant-Theineman-Galimore-Lewis 4- 2nd year of coaches exacting the scheme 5- maturation of Booker-Dexter in last year of contract 6- offense scoring more points and commanding more of the game clock.

Watched a lot of prediction podcasts and the worst was 10-7 and the best was 13-4. The year the Ravens had the same rest schedule that Adam showed, they finished 12-5. That is a good place to set my total. With all the suggested strengths and weaknesses, we have the two most important multipliers constant. BJ and Caleb. Of course injuries could derail that record but we have good depth everywhere on the team except DE. We will survive that weakness.

I like your optimism.

It looks so much worse this far down the road.

The great Squirrel White retired yesterday. He wont be remembered.

AIs cant start a channel, human hands are involved somewhere in the realm. Better yet, now we know what a higher intelligence thinks of the Bears Fans get emotional, AI doesnt.

Never heard of this guy before but has some interesting points.

Couldnt find the stadium information thread so I'll stick this here. This video gave me some information about the stadium I didnt know. The state wants the Bears to pay between 100 mil to 200 mil a year in property taxes.. The highest taxes of any NFL stadium at this time is 9 mil a year in Los Angeles. (Expected) I now understand why the Bears are having a hard time dealing with the State government.

I think Turner was mainly a DE and his last year, they had him put on 15 lbs to play DT. They are going to see what they got and if need be , bring someone in. Last year's Seahawks had two of their top sacker were LBers. One DE and one DT.

Sounds like DA wanted Dillion quite a bit.

Its just BJ getting another log the for fire. If the young wood isnt dry enough to burn, he brings in some aged wood to burn. Common denominator (speed)

I have heard several times where BJ wants players that love football, high motors and are violent. The UDFA TE, Hayden Large, got a personal call from him before the draft telling him we were interested in getting him. After picking Roush, he thought he may not sign here, but after calling him, he said this is the only place he wanted to be. BJ was pretty excited about that. Probably just a PS member but TEs get injured a lot.

I doubt KT ever weighted 340 while with the Bears, I heard said that both him and Washington were in the 370 range.
