Fun to be back?

Is it just me or is it strangely fun to be back in an extremely familiar situation where we are fighting for our playoff lives?  I'm only 23 and from Wisconsin, so my entire childhood was spent watching losing teams and hoping for 8 or 9 wins out of 10 games to make the playoffs and even come back to beat the Packers for the division, which never happened but hopefully will this year.  Coming into this season I couldn't envision the Bears losing more than 2 or 3 games, so thus far I have been sickened by what has happened with injuries and general bad play...but being at the Vikings game when only half of the stadium was left for what was almost a great comeback reminded me of the good old days when true Bears fans (like almost everyone that I've read on this site) ruled the world and optimism was king.  

That's not to say that I enjoy losing as it ruins the week of myself and everyone reading this, but just that I love the attitude that the team seems to be taking right now and I know that this team is good enough to turn things around.  So instead of thinking about the poor start let's start enjoying the familiar climb back to the top
