2010-11 Chicago Bears: The Last Time You'll See Utler Alive

[Slaky]

I'm ready for this preseason to be over so I can start hating this team for real.

Then you might want to consider changing your tagline.

Sarcasm fail.

No.  I know what it is, and I don't think (at least I hope not) Pex is using it sarcastically. That comes from the fan in the NFL Video during the Super Bowl season on 1985.  Black dude, had some sweet seats at the old dump, and he was seriously bringing it.  Thing is, that clip is all feel-good, and I'm just letting Peck know I don't appreciate him dusting off that chestnut out if he's going to be hating on this year's team before the fucking Labor Day Holiday.  

Unless he wants to delete all of these wrist-slitting observations of his.  That'd be okay too.  

Alright Apex - you've been warned. You're not being a good Bears fan. HUEBITER OUT.

Is it ok if I keep my tagline with the caveat that it's a shoutout to the 1985 team during their 25th anniversary season? Please?

Considering most people on this messageboard had the Cubs written off in February, I don't see how three preseason games and several glaring holes in key places is too little evidence to start bringing the hate against a team that hasn't made the playoffs in over three years. I'll root harder than most of you for this team to succeed but until they do, I'm going to stay asshurt.

The thing that sickens me the most is that they could get a top-5 draft pick out of this season and it would probably be Angelo who gets to select it. The failure goes all the way up the ladder. Those stats about the Bears doing less with more than all but a handful of teams has really gotten me down. I don't really know what to do about it other than drink and bitch. I'm not going to quit watching because I love the game too much.

Go Hawks.

Those words.

I'm done giving this regime the benefit of the doubt. I hope like hell this team gives me something to splooge about but if the last few years are any indication they'll leave all of us with blue balls.

I'm one of the guys that was writing the Cubs off in preseason, I'll give you that.  And being proven right does nothing to lighten my mood, for what it's worth.

I guess we just look at these two teams/sports differently.  To me, the NFL seems more aberration-prone, so I feel comfortable drinking the kool-aid before Game 1.   I mean what choice do I have?  If they start out 1-3 or 0-4 then it'll be my wish that Lovie and Angelo be gone and besides fuck it--the Blackhaws will be back by then.  I'm just more inclined to give the Bears through September at least, I guess.  I cannot explain how much at-odds this notion is with how I view the Cubs....I just hate the Cubs so much more right now, which is really saying a lot, when you see the clown shoes that run the Bears.

I agree with BOTH of you.  Because it's Monday, and I'm trying to be accommodating here.

Actually, it only confuses me more.  Eli is being accomdating now?  What a world.

[Internet Apex]

I don't want to be this way. There are lots of players on the Bears that I really like and can't wait to watch. If they end up catching some breaks, staying healthy and making the playoffs I'm going splooge so hard I'll impregnate the entire universe with my Bear Downing seed. You're right, though I hate it, the NFL allows teams that do one thing exceptionally well (example: NY Jets) to make a serious run. Maybe the Bears have a thing like that, which has yet to develop. Maybe that thing involves Julius Peppers and Tommie Harris committing murders. I do think this team will be tough against the run, so there's that.

Why anybody would run against a team with windowlickers up and down the secondary's depth chart  is question for another day. Until that day comes it's ANGERANGERANGER and anticipation for the OCKSOCKEE and ForeskinFloorSlappin' seasons.

That is wrong. The Bears are the worst kind of bad. They are so bad that they win enough games to have a mediocre pick but miss out on the playoffs. They're caught in a cycle of mediocrity that doesn't seem to show any sign of breaking. Even worse, if they do manage to be that aberrational team this year and win the division or sneak into a Wild Card spot, they're going to lose to Minnesota or New Orleans or someone and these guys might get extensions.

Ah, CT.  You're behind the times (and that's OK, man).  I've mellowed from the disagreeable Eli of years past.  I just want everyone to get along.

Have a good morning!  I'll probably talk to you soon.

If Cutler gets hurt (and he's been sacked nine times in about 4 quarters of exhibition football) that dream of 6-9 wins goes right out the window and otno the inspection shelf.

Yes - but he won't get hurt. We'll just keep thinking he's going to get hurt. Not sure which is worse.

It's definitely worse if he gets hurt.
