Enjoy This Bears Fans

[adam]

Please take all of this in. This is not something we as Bears fans get to experience very much. A 5-win November, 5 straight wins, 9 out of 10.  Guaranteed a winning record for only the 4th time in the last 17 years. The list goes on and on.

The Bears have the #1 Rushing Offense (by 200 yards) without a running QB, and lead the league in Takeaways (by 6) on defense. 

Whatever happens the rest of the way, I think the foundation has been set for some sustained success. 

 

I know there have been some disagreements on this board over the years, which is nearing its 20-year anniversary, but we need to keep the personal attacks and demeaning replies for the other team's fanbases, not our own.

If you don't agree with someone's post, that's fine, tell them why you disagree. It doesn't need to escalate to anything more than that. You can also just ignore them, or even mute them if you don't like what they are posting. 

Let's enjoy this success together! #BearDown

No wiser words have been spoken. Stats are black and white , opinions are always the grey area of conversation.

It's not Sunday, I don't need preaching because of one person.

It's always fun to be a fan of a team during the period when they are starting to become good. The Bears so obviously got it right at head coach. Ben Johnson is a superstar as I said yesterday.

Up until last night, you were just hoping they could get in the playoffs and get some experience, but after that victory, I do think it's fair to start dreaming bigger.

That said, the quarterback continues to be the weak link to this team. It's easy for some people to sweep his poor play under the rug when they win, but the regression throwing the football has been too glaring for me to ignore. I honestly don't know how it's possible to be so inaccurate when you have the #1 run game in the NFL and the best play caller who schemes up more open receivers than anybody.

I'm just hoping there's an Eli Manning-like switch that gets flipped at some point here real soon before this playoff run, because if that happens, I think a Superbowl is possible this year.

I have to give credit where credit is due, and I was wrong on Poles. I didn't see the immediate returns on investment, and highlighted too many of the misses, but when you are getting starter level production from multiple rookies and 2nd year players, the future is bright. Monangai, Loveland, Trapilo, and Burden were non-factors early on in the season and are now key contributors as rookies. 

Wright just dominated the guy I thought they should draft in Carter. 

He FINALLY fixed the O-Line, which after hiring Ben Johnson, may be his next best achievement. They are a top 3 unit in the NFL and with a few more games for Trapilo, may end up being #1. What a turn around.
