Dewskie, so now there are 2 of us in the 13-3 club. I can wait for the NFL season to start. I haven't been this jacked up for a Bears team in many years.
Getting rid of Martz wil have as much of a positive effect on the Bears Offense as the addition of Marshall.
Firing Martz was addition by subtraction.
My basis for liking them is at the same time both rational and totally irrational. The offseason signings have been 100% across the board what this team needed. New bodies on the offensive line, linebacker, corner, receiver, quarterback, and halfback. They smoothed out the coaching staff to be more sensible, acquired a star receiver, and their feet are against the fire with having to win for Lovie to save his job. I'm certain they'll have a strong draft and the roster from top to bottom will be impressive going into the regular season.
The irrational part of it is that I just get a feeling about this team being due. I had the same feeling in 2005. That team got smacked around by the Panthers in the first round and you could just
feel that next year they were going to play to that potential and just steamroll through the regular season. I get that feeling this season as well. Last year's squad, which wasn't nearly as talented on paper as this year's team, was on pace to be a high seed in the NFC and got crippled by injuries.
In 2012, this team is healthy, depth is tenfold improved, there's new weapons on both sides of the ball and the coaching staff is a far more cohesive unit. The schedule doesn't scare me either. I think for the first time in years we're going to see the Bears winning by 30 and 40 points and separating themselves from the pack substantially more early in the season.
