The rest of the schedule is your division, other conference games, and the division from the other conference you are scheduled to play. All of that is planned years in advance. Maybe it is three games now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And at least have been making the playoffs here and there. What you are saying can be said about most teams in the league. Only 1 team wins the superbowl each year. And it's not on a rotating schedule for all teams. Because even that would take 32 years for every team to get one. Doesn't work that way even if a team is really good it doesn't promise anything. Hell one mediocre QB who is lucky enough to be on a team to win the superbowl twice in their career will probably go to the hall of fame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 816 Posted October 11, 2021 At least the Bears have a smidgen of hope. I thought 2021 would be the Year of the Fish after decades of no hope whatsoever. I now realize how wrong I was. What really pisses me off is how bad the Dolphins are. Not just average or below average, but among the worst in the NFL. If not for a fluke fumble in Week 1, the Dolphins would be 0-5. Offense ranks near last, defense ranks near last. It's only been 21 years since Marino retired. Another rebuild should do the trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're as worthless as Grier is. How does he have a job? Fish fans are sick of this. We've been patient for over two decades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fish fans are sick of this. We've been patient for over two decades. I don’t blame you. I’ve been following Miami this year just for draft pick purposes. I don’t think they’re this sustainably bad just due to a soft upcoming schedule but 5-6 wins looks like the ceiling. Philly has many problems too so the draft capitol will help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But okay, in the Superbowl era the Bears have been in trouble except for the period between 1984 and 1986. And the 2006 fluck. They wasted Walter Payton's career much like the Lions did to Barry Sanders. The Bears have never had a top tier QB in the Superbowl era and haven't had a top tier QB since what maybe Gluckman or Blanda? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't cheer for QBs winning, I root for teams. In this case the Bears. You sound like you would rather have Marino and never your team win, over having McMahon and winning a superbowl. In 1985 people were able to witness the greatest defense the NFL has ever seen. Why do you focus on the QB having to be the center of a superbowl? In all of my days watching the NFL, the single most entertaining team to me was watching the Bears defense destroy teams all year long. Ironically, the only loss they had was to Marino. Now that is fun to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad GLuckman 518 Posted October 12, 2021 Bears fans have reason to be optimistic. If they win next week, they are first in the North. GB has trouble against teams that can generate a pass rush without blitzing (Every team does, I guess) and Mack just wrecked the Raiders. GB might still be without 4 of their best 7 players. Just have to hope Fields keeps improving week to week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
