Good luck

Already the Bears have been the benefactors of some good fortune that they can’t let go to waste. Josh Sitton falling in their laps is one instance. His arrival not only strengthens them but weakens the Packers. Bridgewater going down is another. It goes further than that though. There is the fact that wide receiver Calvin Johnson retired, a long-time tormentor of Chicago. Then they host the Eagles who will be starting a rookie quarterback in Carson Wentz.

A week later they visit Dallas who won’t have Tony Romo due to a back injury and face a defense without its two best pass rushers because of suspensions. Lastly a couple weeks later they head into Indianapolis against a Colts team that may not have their best defensive player in Vontae Davis because of a bad ankle. Opportunities like this don’t come around often and if the Bears really believe they’re a playoff team, they have to take advantage.
