I agree, I’m actually upbeat about the bears despite the last 2 losses. Most likely we’ll be 5-3 heading into the lions game. The last few seasons were absolutely hopeless going into the 9th game. We haven’t competed for a playoff spot since 2013, and haven’t made the playoffs since 2010. The arrow is pointing up for the first time in a long time.
I have really been mulling over the 2010 comparison... The 2010 bears started 5-3 coming out of the bye, they had a shaky start losing some really stupid games. Then they got hot and ran the table, but lost to "better" teams in the pats and packers... 2010 was a weird year... defense was rocking, offense got hot late, but Lovie still couldn't find a way to beat the packers in week 17.
I think the beginning of the 2018 season in many ways
feels like the beginning of the 2010 season. Will the team click and put together a nice streak of wins? 5-3 coming out of the AFC east games, can the bears go 6 and 2 to close out the year? Maybe they lose to the rams and the vikings once. Maybe Nagy has the perfect scheme to beat detroit twice... maybe he has the perfect scheme to beat the rams?? That is the thing with this team... we don't expect them to do bad but we are hesitant to be confident in a win, much like the 2010 season. One of the turning points for me in 2010 was that eagles game. Offense was putting up huge numbers in the second half of the season... idk man, I am on the hope wagon... This season has been incredibly fun so far... The bears are 4 trubisky overthrows or 4 secondary missed tackles from being undefeated. LET THAT SINK IN
