I was watching this game

just yesterday again, to feel good about the Bears and it worked. This game, the second Detroit game and the San Diego game were the highs of this season for me.

Yeah, Im excited for next year already, or at least the offseason first! Lets go get Jay some ammo

Wouldnt it be funny if we had another DE with the last name Salters!

I’m done with being mopey about this season. Just watching Forte’s and Hester’s screen plays, over and over makes me smile.

+1

When this offense is clicking, we can play with anyone.

It's like

“Hey, remember when things were clicking and we weren’t being all twitchy about Caleb Hanie and Josh McCown?”

The season that could have been..

The past is now the past, time to move forward and be optimistic about the future, given the right man has taken over as OC and when this offense is balanced as well as healthy, they can play with anyone in the NFL.

Jay Cutler is our QB, and I for one am proud of that

Those were hopeful days

The defense was unreal in that game – Forte solid, Jay looking good. Feels like a decade ago

Well Lovie Did Say That The Bears Are 1-0 in 2012 Too...

And we’ve been to the playoffs 50% of the time! “The time” being “in the past two seasons” and ignoring the previous three failures, of course.

When I assume, I'm not "making an ass out of u and me"... I'm actually putting u between me and an ass.

Sigh.

And you wonder why ’85 lives on around here?

I wish that NFL.com still had the videos like that with the radio announcers instead of their recap guys

They used to have a lot more plays in those radio call ones.

NFL.com has really skimped with the highlights lately.

At least they still show the plays on their own in the "Fantasy Highlights" area

But it isn’t the same
