Bears 2006 Season Thread

[PokerFink]

Dear Bears Fans,

I'm not trying to be a buzzkill, because the Bears are a very good football team and the class of the NFC (and perhaps the NFL) right now. But, as an Eagles fan who has seen everything collapse many times, remember to keep things in perspective.

dude...don't bring reality in here

PF:

Dude, for the longest time, all we Bears fans have had has been the 85 season and the fluke 2001 season.

We know all about reality. In fact, my normal modus operandi consists of me going:

"wow, the Bears are winning. They'll find a way to lose, I'm sure".

We are an extremely pessimistic lot, in general. Just give us our moment in the sun, we'll go back to being defeatists, soon enough.

To all you weak bears fans, rooting on your flimsy defense and your lucky passing game. I will be bringing the Buffalo stampede along with the NFL's leading rusher, to show the pathetic city of chicago what a real team looks like


P.S. All of the above was a complete lie, except for the fact I am driving 9 hours to come see the game. Please take mercy on JP Losman, he has been playing well and one bad game may take him to Rob Johnson-ville again. I hope for a close game. Even though this does look like a letdown game for the bears

Mike Brown Likely Out For Year

This is a monster loss to the Bears. With Harris still hurt and McGowen still a few weeks from returning looks like the Bears have to rely on Todd Johnson. Just got a little chill down the spine.

I don't mind Johnson 10-15 plays a game, but he is not an everydown Strong Safety. I hope that in a few weeks we at least get to see Harris in that spot. They have been talking about him taking over for Brown long term and it would be nice to see if he could handle the spot. It would at least make me feel better if (and it almost seems like when) Brown is a cap casualty.

The news on Rickey Manning was a bit better. Looks like he just has a minor hamstring and could be back for SF. It would really hurt if the league holds back on a suspention until that run of road games in the Northeast. It does seem a bit odd that he wants to meet with the League before they even make a decision, I don't know if that's good or bad.

how big of a loss is it, in comparison to other players? I know as a fan you obviously hate losing anyone but is this like a Rodney Harrison quality player? Worse? He's clearly not at the Ed Reed/Troy P. level, right?

Former Pro-Bowler but not a total stud anymore.

So, 14th best Safety in the league--sounds about right. Pretty big loss whenever you lose a starter whose top quartile for the season. Also, Foot injuries are often one of the worst long term injuries, so this could be a lasting blow.
