No, we are pretty much on the same page with that one. But I will say, I am not ruling it out. Let’s give Poles a chance and let’s see what he can do. Teams can catch lighting in a bottle with smart moves — just look at the Bengals — so you never know.
And just to clarify, I never said we would be going to the SB in 2 years… just said, “anywhere close” to a SB… meaning, “competitive and a real threat to make the playoffs and possibility do a little damage”. Chalk it up to the optimist in me but, without seeing what happens this off-season, and without seeing what Fields can do with proper coaching and solid protection, I think it is too early to rule out the possibility that the Bears can make some noise within the next 2 years.
