Enjoy!

There is no excuse for our scrubs to play like shit against the opponent’s scrubs in preseason.

In short, our scrubs are shit.

And yes (to the dumb Go Bears Go! fans*) that is critical.

Our starters on offense (aside from Webb who doesn’t belong in the NFL) for the most part have shown potential to win more than lose in this upcoming season.

Our defense looks suspiciously old. And vulnerable without Urlacher. Not good. Not sure if I’m buying this defense can hold up “bend but don’t break” throughout an entire NFL regular season game.

At least not quite yet.

But here is the reality. In the NFL, injuries happen. They are going to occur. Regulars are going to get hurt. And miss games. Sometimes an entire season will be lost.

And that is where these bench guys become important.

So far, our bench guys suck.

And oddly enough, these are the guys that should be busting out 100% in the preseason - they are on the proverbial bubble.

Our offensive line is already vulnerable. If Webb is the best left tackle we got (shudder), where does that leave the Bears if he injures a thumb ligament twittering to Webb Nation?

To date, Jason Campbell fucking blows. So what if Quitler does the annual Quitler?

The receiving corps looks impressive. Quite a turnaround already from last season. Depth? Yeah, just maybe.

The secondary? Oh boy…

Good news: The Bears will average 30 points a game.
Bad news: The defense will average giving up 35 points a game.

I don’t agree with anything written in point #4.

And Jeffrey has had a good camp.

As for Marshall, the guy has a black cloud over his definitely. But he has done everything right (so far) for the Bears on and off the field.

If Marshall relapses, blame it on AJ.

AFAIC, it’s the pre-season. Since I haven’t had the opportunity to even hear the games, I’ll be brief. Pre-Season doesn’t mean squat. We’ll know more Sept. 10.

Well it means everything to NFL teams losing starting players to injury due to participating in meaningless exhibitions.

It also means everything to bubble guys either making the team or not, and if not, showing enough to the rest of the league to get a job elsewhere.

I’ll agree with that, but I don’t think that it’s wise to draw conclusions about the quality of a team until after they’ve played a meanful game.

I wouldn’t either if it was a serious takedown.

This had me in tears I was laughing so hard.  The quotes from Bears fans at the end are brilliant.

I wet myself.
