A Chicago Bears’ Rule of Thumb: Expect the Unexpected

Every season it’s the same thing, and why should this year be any different.
(Beware, may give 31 other teams nightmares).
I’m going out on a limb here, and saying that the Bears’ WRs shut everyone up this year.
We all know who the Bears have at WR. I think people in Indonesia do, at this point. It’s just a matter of showing the world what damage this team is going to do with a elite quarterback in the NFL today.
As history has taught us, WRs emerge every year. This year will be no different. I truly believe that we will have atleast one after its all said and done.
People seem to forget the guy wearing the No. 23 jersey running all over the field and leaving players in his dust. Now that he doesn’t have the ball in his hands at the start of the play, people seem to lose focus of that. This is the same man, I promise you. He will get you. You will notice him once again—this year more than ever.
Greg Olsen has shown that his receiving skills are among the best at his position. This year he will further prove that. He will get open, he will score, he will wear you down.
Matt Forte, he’s hungry for more. He was the best WR on our team last year and he was listed at the runningback position. Excellent hands, vision, and elusiveness makes him scary, very, very scary for opposing defenses. As this will once again be evident.
Those are just the things I can PROMISE.
Now, as to the rest of the questionable WRs. This is what they need. To be questioned. They need to be brought out in the spot light. They need a chip on their shoulder. Thanks to everyone, they will have that.
Now as we sit here today, Pro Bowl Quarterback plus; inconsistent, no-threat QB minus. I have all the faith in the world that this team will be hard to contend with. I know my team better than you know my team. So say what you want.
Our defense is scary when they come to play. Everyone knows that. Our offense is scary, you will know that.
With an elite defense, and an elite offense, this is going to be a bad year for the rest of the NFL. I’m sorry I had to be the one to tell you.
