As for Olson, when his 250 pound frame starts rolling over 180 pound corners instead of them putting him on his ass, then he can start flapping his yapper. Until then, stfu as far as I am concerned with him.

Of course the media does stick up for the team in a certain sense, as if they called it like it is such as we do they would lose their access to the team.

Also, on Fox news, D’Aroshou was on The Final Word and basically telling the fans “not to worry” “we are ready for the season”… does everyone else think the media is just trying to stick up for this team so they can get box seats for next game?

No doubt Cutler will get hurt with that line. Just a matter of time.

Unless Pompei is actually getting paid straight out of the Bears pocket (which is unlikely, they are too cheap) he is killing his career by alienating all fans by defending these dopes.

Also Dan gets on me for over emphasizing the pre-season but damn they were just terrible against lousy opposition. I guess we are supposed to think that the Bears will come out of their cocoon and go from an ugly caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly as the season starts but I don’t see it at all.

As a die hard fan I think this may be the season that the wheels fall off and we start spiraling near a 5-11 mark. With the o line being so terrible I see Cutler getting hurt or at least seriously banged up and now even our special teams blow. Our defense will have to really step it up which means I am betting on Briggs, Harris, Urlacher and Peps and damn I see maybe 1 1/2 superstars out of the 4 that we pay like superstars. Kind of like the Cubs this year where it starts out bad and then just plummets into a free fall when you keep wondering how much worse it can get.

I hate myself for thinking this about the Bears but that’s what I think until I see otherwise.

Next time if they send you a big program like that just give it to me when you see me at the game and I can pass it on to one of my nephews they’d probably like that.

Good tip once again to never eat anything inside Soldiers Field. Ugh.

Tillman sucks. Omiyale sucks. Williams sucks. Urlacher is old. There aren’t any safeties. Hester is a wide receiver. That will result in an 8-8 record at best.

W-Detroit – This should be a gimme but it’s close. Very close.
W-@Dallas – Cutler scores on gutsy blitz late hit touchdown toss to win the game. Cutler goes on IR with concussion.
L-Green Bay – Collins takes over. Divisional game embarrassment. Wind goes out of sails.
L-@NYG – No match for NY.
L-@Carolina – Cutler back but injured again, Collins takes over. Game gets out of control early.
L-Seattle – Close, demoralizing home loss.
W-Washington – W provided by special teams and defensive scores.
W-@Buffalo – Why not, eh? The game is in Toronto.
L-Minnesota – Farve takes Bears to the woodshed in his final season (snark). Peterson runs wild.
W-@Miami – Could be a L.
L-Philadelphia – Another toss-up.
W-@Detroit – Cutler returns for Bears final win of the season. Very low scoring black-and-blue division type game.
L-NewEngland – Secondary gets picked apart by Brady. Cutler throws six interceptions, three for TD returns.
L-@Minnesota – MNF game, huge embarrassment. Tuesday morning- Lovie is fired, Angelo resigns on Wednesday, Martz named as interim head coach.
L-NYJ – Ryan family’s revenge on the McCaskets. Buddy is on the NYJ sideline as mascot.
L-@Green Bay – Ed Obradovich has mild heart attack live on post game radio show. Buffone provides life-saving CPR. Usual media speculation about next year goes on for weeks. Most wins come from defense and special team points. Blame placed on total lack of running game.

Fox 32 analyst Lou Canellis officially has permanent positive shit-eating grin registered with U.S. patent office and ensured with Lloyd’s of London.

Days after the Super Bowl, Ted Phillips announces expensive unknown sports consulting firm hired to help find a new GM. Phillips gets a big “vote of confidence” from the McCasket family. Again.

6-10 is being generous. 5-11 is not out of reach. The W in Miami and L with Eagles being my two games on the fence.

I hope my predictions very wrong, really do. But only die-hard Bear fan drones or Cub fans would be more optimistic after what we’ve seen so far.

Yes, I’m predicting a high-octane offense that will sputter in the last few weeks both against the elements and against stellar defenses. Yes, that’s 9 games of 25+ points. Yes, that’s 7 games giving up 25+ points, and another hanging on the edge. And, yes, that’s the Bears finishing with 3 of 5 under 20. I think the Hello Kittens will be better this year, especially at home running on that turf against our average to pathetic secondary, and will steal one game from us. Yes, I see us splitting the division home and away. And, yes, that is a pretty massive home field advantage I’m giving them. I’m gonna roll with it for now.
