[CBFF] 4 Bears on "Best Team Money Can Buy" (ESPN: Clayton)

[Matt Langschwager]

If I suck Pat, then you blow, you pompous windbag you!  If I can't use past performance as an indictor of success this year, then I might as well use a random number generator to determine each team's final score, and predict an 8-8 season!  Besides, if you look closer, I said I "could see" the Lions beating us.  I didn't say "I think the Lions will beat us."  We'll go 6-0 in the division, but if any rival game might give us trouble, the odds are that one will.  I'm merely looking out for the Bears best interests, like a minesweeper up ahead in the road.
   
  But I wouldn't expect you to comprehend that degree of subtlety.

  You suck, Matt! The Lions??? In their disarray? Quit looking at the past 
and see the present and future! It's not like they hired Lovie to coach the 
team and got rid of McCancer.

| Honestly, I could see the Lions beating us in Week 16. They play decent 
at home, and the Bears are 1-3 at Ford Field (with the win being in OT). 
I'm even going to ENTERTAIN thoughts of a loss in Week 2, not after that 
home opening debacle in 2004 that utterly ruined my birthday celebration.

| As to the Packers. Putting aside the "anything can happen with a 
rivalry" line of thought, there's no WAY Lovie doesn't have our boys prepped 
for a Week One win. Not with last year's season ender still fresh. (Yes, 
it's still fresh in my mind.) And speaking of last year, history shan't 
repeat itself as no starters are pulled in Week 17 this year. Bears sweep 
the Pack and Lovie goes up 5-1 on Farve.

| Oh and arrogance is PERFECTLY acceptable right now! As long as it's 
toned down by Labor Day.
