Prediction
Chicago Bears UNDER 7 (-140) Season Wins
Despite the fact that I do like some of the off-season moves made by the Chicago Bears, I cannot and will not back a team with Jay “I don’t give a fuck” Cutler as the starting quarterback. Cutler reminds me of the spoiled brat kid in the neighborhood whose parents buy him everything and the also the kids who quits when he is losing and taking his ball home so the other kids can’t play. The Bears will be much better everywhere this season, yet they will still struggle as they deal with the contagious attitude of Cutler. The Bears should have dropped Cutler because his personality will not help the new coaching staff. Bears fans should expect another down season and continue to expect such results with Cutler in the starting role. I look at this season as a rebuilding season and wouldn't be shocked to see 4 or less wins by the Bears.
