^^^ Lt, i was in vegas this past weekend staying at the paris hotel, where their sportsbook had the bears favored, yes favored, to win the NFC at 3/1!!! I've looked on every book i can think of online and couldn't find close to that. It must have been a glitch on their board.
But anyways, the bears will be fine this year. Cutler will be a good QB. He's obviously not gonna average 300 passing yards in chicago, probably more like 225, but couple him with Forte and the offense is in good shape. The receivers will come around, believe me. WR is the most overrated position in the NFL anyway, you can win games without a superstar at the position. If the bears don't make the playoffs this year, it will not be because of jay cutler, it will be because their pass rush wasn't generating shit and their secondary couldnt cover anybody. If they don't make the playoffs this year, Lovie's out as coach.
