The Bears seem to be the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL, they get no respect. No respect at all. Trashing Da Bears' offense is just the fashionable thing to do nowadays, so I don't take too much stock in what most of these "experts" have to say. Da Bears will probably lead the NFC in total points again, so that is that with that.
Da Bears were tied for 2nd in the league in pts scored and added tight end Greg Olsen, or as I like to call him, "G-Reg" from the 7th floor crew. They also added Garrett Wolfe. With a healthy Mark Bradley helping B-squared (Bernard Berrian) stretch the field and Moose and Olsen crossing the middle, Da Bears' offense will be sick as long as Ced Benson holds up his end of the bargain. He wanted to be the man, so now he gets his chance. Ced is the man!! Let's not even mention what will happen when we can get DH (Devin Hester) the ball on occasion.
Rex Grossman will be substantially better this year than last year. I predict a 2:1 ratio of touchdowns to interceptions. His footwork will be better. His mechanics will be better. He will trust his offensive line and step into the pocket to make his throws. He will run for the hills when necessary. He will throw the ball away instead of throwing the interception. Da Bears, particularly their offense, will get their respect this season. If not, Grossman will be gone, and his contract won't be renewed. The Bears will have the BEST OFFENSE IN THE NFC!
I'm not by any means downing any other team in the NFL, because us Bears fans can be obnoxious (especially myself), but I just feel that the Super Bowl runners up deserve a lot more respect than they have been getting lately. I am driving the bandwagon, and a lot of people will want to jump back on once the Bears start dissecting these teams this year, just like everyone was on the bandwagon last year. That's why they have so many nationally televised games. They are that good...
