My favorite teams
I THINK OUR RUSH WILL BE FEROCIOUS, GREAT LB PLAY. BUT THE CBs MAY SPOIL THE PARTY
Why will the CB's "spoil it"?

I think people are having a tough time realizing how good the Bears are. They’ve been dog shit for so long that people just don’t believe they’re good.
It’s true that the Bears will be playing some great teams this year. It’s also true that the Bears will be favored in almost every single one of those games.
In fact, I’m looking at this Bears team and thinking, “Who the hell are the 5 teams who are going to beat the Bears?”
I’m not seeing it. This team wins at least 11 games. Mayybbeee 10 if they get some bad luck or start 0-2 in a fluke or something.
WHO is ......By Andy Benoit July 19, 2019 ?
Denver, Green Bay, Philly, (maybe) Kansas City, (maybe) Chargers are the 5 teams I could see beating us. Not too worried about New Orleans and the Rams.
He's the guy who wrote the article. Thats the date he wrote it.I know, thats a confusing name, right? Why are there so many numbers in his name?
Do you have any idea what Denver’s record at home is in the first 2 weeks of a season? I can’t begin to overstate how disadvantaged we are heading into Denver.Bears D will feast on Flacco. Feast. That may be Flaccos last game in 2019. Our OTs will have trouble with their elite edge players whch could cause problems, but everywhere else they are weaker.
Need to worry about MN and other better teams you mentioned.
Article is a bit of a yawn, really. D will not be as good but it wouldn't be with Vic either. Special year with all those turnovers. I don't ever remember anyone ever saying that more QB pressure will hurt your CBs. Regular season record will likely be worse and we'll be better prepared for the playoffs.
I think the Bears are a well conditioned team, and this is one of Denver's weakest line-ups as they are a strong franchise annually, and especially recently. I don't care what their home record is, I don't think it pertains to this particular game much.Do you have any idea what Denver’s record at home is in the first 2 weeks of a season?

Why would you assume we are well conditioned? This just strikes me as the “Miami game” of this season.I think the Bears are a well conditioned team, and this is one of Denver's weakest line-ups as they are a strong franchise annually, and especially recently.

They will be over-thinking and adjusting to new schemes.
Pagano is the ideal coach to take over a Fangio team, imo. If anything we will become less predictable.None of this press, negative or positive, really means much. Pagano is not over his head. The Bears didn’t lose too many players on that side of the ball. It may come down to general health. Regardless, the Bears should have a top 5 defense.
The reason I disagree is because I think the two players lost (Callahan/Amos) are nice box pieces but aren't amazing in coverage.
With Skrine/Shelley/HaHa you have added playmakers, and taken some guys out of hemorrhaging defenses where they were overworked (Packers/Jets/KSU).
You plug them into this Bears team and they can do what they do best. If HaHa doesn't have more interceptions and more return yards than Amos I will eat my words, but I think we will see HaHa return to his lofty projections when played as a true roamer.
I for one am looking forward to seeing Pagano blitz more, especially from the corners/safeties. Amos had coffee mugs for hands, and Callahan was only useful in the middle zone as a playmaking nickel. Shelley looks like he is a step beyond both Skrine and Callahan to me. I think we got lucky there, and Denmark has plenty of time to develop for a year or 3.
Only opens things up if you don't get there. Point is to stop a drive and disrupt the passer more often than not. If the O makes some plays but can't sustain drives, it's a success. Should create more picks as well but after the way the ball bounced our way last year, I certainly don't expect more of those. No team has ever led the league 2 years straight in takeaways and the stat is that those teams average 11 fewer the next year. Why I said they probably won't rank as high.Yeah i can see the D not being as good as we were last year because we really came out pretty lucky on the health side which doesn't ever happen for the Bears. I mean of course we lost E.Jackson which is always gonna be big (still don't understand why he wasn't playing in the Eagles game) and losing Callahan was big, especially in that Eagles game cause i would of much rather of had Callahan guarding G.Tate on that go ahead TD or 2 point conversion then McManis. Can't remember if that was a 4th down TD or 2 point conversion but either way that was the play that put them ahead of us and won the game for them.
I do see how blitzing more is gonna open up more plays for the opponents receivers and does make me worried because after Fuller and Amukamara it's pretty scary knowing it will be up to one of K.Tolliver, B.Skrine or D.Shelley to take over if either of those two got hurt. Fangio's defense was designed to not give up the big plays which is why he didn't blitz much and why he had our OLB's backing up in coverage a lot and with Pagano, he's gonna be going after the QB with a lot which means our coverage from our DB's will be huge this year. It'll be much more fun to watch cause it's always fun watching your defense get sacks but puts a lot of pressure on our secondary.
Well saying HaHa will have more INT's then Amos isn't saying much at all since as we all know the biggest issue Bears fans have had with Amos from the very beginning is that he doesn't create turnovers so not sure where you're trying to go with that one. B.Skrine has been one of the worst in the league at getting penalties called against him so i'm really hoping he understands that on this defense he'll have better players playing around him and won't have to grab and hold as much as he has with the Jets and Browns, and although i like D.Shelley, he's a 6th round pick that's never played a down in the NFL yet and if he does i would think it would be to take over for Skrine who will have moved to CB to take over for Fuller or Prince if one got hurt. Shelley did play CB in college so maybe they look at him for there but pretty sure he was drafted to replace Skrine in a year or two.
