OK Chicago, we live in a what have you done for me lately kinda town and this 2007 Chicago Bears teams has shown little signs of life. They have played one good half all year and that was in Green Bay. Tommie Harris was quoted as saying,"We are going to make the playoffs, I guarantee we make the playoffs." Come on Tommie, Playoffs?? You have a better chance of Mikey Brown going through an entire season without getting hurt, Oh wait...That will NEVER happen and the proof is in the pudding people.
We rolled the dice and got rid of a leader in Thomas Jones in the offseason, this team has never over come the loss of one of its true leaders. He got in these guys faces before games last year, he challenged them to give 110% each time out. This team just doesn't have the same fire and passion anymore. This 2007 team lost its fire the minute they walked out of the tunnel in San Diego. They flat out do not have the same fire they had a year ago.
The Players, Coaches, and Management seem to become complacent, since reaching the Super Bowl. It is as if these people have not heard of the trend of Losing Super Bowl teams not making the playoffs the following year. Instead of improving in the offseason they decide to trade players, and rely on unproven players to get the job done. When will the Chicago Bears as an organization ever learn? Why do we have to wait over 20 years to get back to a Super Bowl?
Let stop being a team that jumps out of the pack every 20 years, and start a tradition of Winning, wow what a concept. How about we build a strong team and keep it together and develop young kids to take over after a veteren has moved on. We need to take a class from the New England Patriots on how to run on organization, they have been winning for years and they have done it by developing players and making smart decisions to benefit the the team as a whole, not just satisify a general manager. Sorry to say it folks, but most exciting headline this team will get is," With the 6th Pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, The Chicago Bears Choose......"
