		<description>In Russ&#039;s Defense I know he loves our Bears, with this article he is trying to delve into some of the Bears issues.  He gave myself and some of the other writers the opportunity to respond and set the record straight even before he wrote this!  Anyways I believe the Bears offense will &quot;wake up&quot; this years and surprise us, read my repponse below in Rallying cry Tampa!</description>

		<description>blk dragon: Nice to see another true Bear fan posting.True Bear fans are optimistic not pessimistic! Thanks for posting brother.Being pessimistic all the time like new age,fair weather fans like Russ.Take away the point of being a fan.It takes the fun &amp; excitement out out playing or watching.Thats what makes the N.F.L so great.No one expected the Giants to win last year.Pretty bad when you judge a team,before the games are even played.Us die hard fans are excited for the upcoming season,its a new year.Funny how some so-called fans are there when the going is good,but not when the team struggles.GO BEARS! GOOD LUCK IN 2008! YOUR TRUE FANS WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU,WIN OR LOSE!</description>

		<description>Nice grammar, old-timer.  I would like to read some complete sentences and punctuation from time to time.  

You being credible/authentic/legit/a die hard?  Now that&#039;s the joke!  

You have to face reality sooner rather than later - are offense is our &quot;Achilles heel&quot; and it will hold us back no matter what the D/ST does.

Bears D &amp; ST In &#039;08

Offense: The Absolute Worst in the NFL!</description>

		<description>You really are a joke,as far as so called fans go.Die hard Bear fans want to win,obviously.but if they dont we stand behind our team anyways.That is called being a fan!!!! Die hard fan&#039;s are dedicated to their teams,not just the Wins!You idiot! With Fans like you who needs enemies! You trash talk &amp; back stab your players when they struggle.Hello,this is the nfl,no one stays on top forever.For die hard fans every year is a new year,&amp; anything can happen.Die hard fans dont abandon their team,&amp; trash talk them when they struggle.You are a fan of whoever wins,not a specific team.Find a new team,if you dont like it.You can say what you want,but as a so called fan,you are a joke! I have been a fan for 37 years.there have been up&#039;s &amp; downs,but it is your team.Win or Lose,true fans are there for their team,they dont trash talk them.this is my last post,there is no debate.You have already proved,you are a fair weather young fan.Debating with true die hard fans,only makes you look worse.The Bear&#039;s are a special old time Franchise,You dont belong with us die hard fan&#039;s.So stop trying to belong,&amp; try &amp; taint our great franchise.JUST because you have personal insecurity issues.Dont carry them over to this Great franchise.Win or Lose,dedicated fans love their teams.they support them win or lose.Your comments just make you look more pathetic!! You expect superbowls every year.But in the nfl,that just doesnt happen,grow up.You would be better suited picking the winner every year,rather than staying with one team.You have no business posting blog&#039;s.With your lack of commitment to a particular team,unless they win.You have alot to learn about commitment to one team.People like you,strengthen my commitment to my Bear&#039;s.Just go Away.we really dont need fan&#039;s like you,you just bring the team down!!I shouldnt have to remind you that we have the best special teams in the league.&amp; the top 5 Defense when healthy.We dont need many points to win,you jack-ass!! So be a fan or go away.we dont need you,you only hurt the team! GO BEAR&#039;S!! GOOD LUCK IN 2008!!</description>

		<description>No Sorry Sir.  You got me all wrong.  Along with your #1 Team - Da BEARS!

The type of fan you represent/display is the reason why I don&#039;t buy into the Bears because you are a &quot;homer&quot; and can&#039;t talk about your team because you can&#039;t look at &#039;em with the proper, precise perspective/viewpoint.  You are what&#039;s wrong with the fan base, not me.  On the other hand - speak truthfully and diligently and respond back stating why the Bears have a chance to make the Super Bowl.  I&#039;ll laugh - because TAMPA is a LONG ROAD This Year!  A Further distant than you think, not the opposite/contrary.  The offense is awful.

This article is about the Bears &amp; their offense denying them any chance to &quot;sniff&quot; the Super Bowl.  I&#039;m just stating the facts - and if you don&#039;t believe we have 1 of the worst, if not THE WORST Offense in the NFL - then I&#039;m Sorry for you!  

Let&#039;s keep it REAL - These are the questions that will plague/haunt the Bears for not only this year, but for plenty of years to come if they do not address the current state of this squad - mainly the offense.  

Tell me why I&#039;m wrong about their offense.  You know you can&#039;t counter this post because it&#039;s right on the $

I love the Bears and I&#039;m probably a bigger fan than you are!  The difference is:  I am unbiased and know my team&#039;s weaknesses and I&#039;m not willingly to talk/address &#039;em.  Fellow, you on the other hand - are way too biased and only will talk good about this team, even if it&#039;s about this woeful &quot;can&#039;t watch&quot; offense!

Put this into perspective and step into reality friend - the Bears are in for a LONG, LONG, LONG season if they don&#039;t Improve vastly on offense in &#039;08!

It&#039;s just sad to see &#039;em go this bad, this quick.  Such a heartbreaker...  So this article is mainly my beef with how the Bears are messing up a good thing.  And all at the expense of a terrific, world-beating Defense and the most exciting &amp; explosive playmaker in the game - the Windy City Flyer.

Thanks

I have been a die hard bear fan for 38 years.You have no clue what a true fan is all about.True fans support their teams.True fans dont talk smack about their team or back stab their players.True fans are there win or lose.You are probably too young to understand what a true fan is.You only support when the going is good.No team stays on top all the time,get a clue.TRUE BEAR FANS ARE PROUD &amp; BLEED BLUE!! You probably are too young to even know what bleeding blue is! The true die hard Bear fans know what i am talking about.We need fans who support our team,not dig for negativities constantly! You should join the packers or Cowboys,if you dont like what the bears bring on sundays.Your opinions are idiotic,&amp; us true fans dont care.Send your opinions to Mariotti,Die hard bear fans dont care to hear it.True fans start out each year with hope,not despair.The games havent even been played yet!! If you dont enjoy being a fan,your not a fan. Be a Fan or be Gone !!!! GO BEARS!!! YOUR TRUE FANS BELIEVE,&amp; WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU!!!</description>
