Good luck Chicago.

The Bears have multiple needs and are addressing some of them. Remains to be seen what else they do, but they've had a very good day so far.

The Redskins have had many good days in previous offseasons, but that hasn't necessarily translated into wins or playoffs.

I'm not saying that what the Bears are doing today will translate into wins or playoffs. They still have areas to address. But they are filling needs, not necessarily grabbing the biggest names available just to grab a name, like Snyder has done for years.

Well they gave up a ton of picks because of Cutler last year (similar to Snyder) and since they don't have too many picks, they have to rely mainly in free agency. I'm just seeing a lot of our past mistakes in them this year.

no doubt, they reak of desperation, which I bet we did too to everyone else in the nfl over the years. Lovie has shown that he can get his guys to step up & he's put together a nice D over the years, but he might have more that ne can handle now; a 'star' prima donna on both sides of the ball!
