When Brian Urlacher added enthusiasm to the defense I again began to watch them play decent football. We had high hopes for this 2011 season until QB Cutler went down. Then the RB Forte. Now they also have a player in trouble with the law.
Tonight, the Bears have to travel to play Green Bay. I hope it isn't too much of a slaughter. New polls say the Packers are now America's favorite team (replacing the Cowboys). Oddsmakers favor the Pack to go all the way and then win the Super Bowl.
Newly signed QB Josh McCown will start for the Bears. Game time is 8:20 pm, ET, on NBC.
What most of us recognize is that nothing creates a fan base and maintains loyalty like WINNING! People LOVE to say their team WON, just as though, by association, they are "winners" too. What funny group of people: sports fans.
I live in Chicago and have since before that crazy run of the '85 Bears.. that team will always remain a favorite of mine.. with such wonderful characters..The fan base in Chicago is freaky scary.. they are so loyal to their teams! Even when they loose.. I just wanna slap, management, coaching and whoever else is involved cuz they frustrate me so. My youngest son is an oddity here in Chicagoland.. he loves the Packers.. has for years! Since he was practically a baby.. The Green Bay/Chicago game is always fun around here!!
