let's hope the turn around happens are described.

Yeah, hopefully we will get some impact from them this year.

We have certainly had more than our share of knee injuries in the past. I blew my knee out in HS and it sucks. Hopefully the trend will slow down for us.

We certainly have quite a bit of "new" faces around still when you think about it.

Hopefully Chilly can get the offensive ones worked into our last years offensive offense

its true how much young supossed talent we have.
when you include some of our later round picks with the 5 guys they mentioned we should have a really good young team.
problem is some of these guys might just be bust or mediocre at best.
but if they are gonna live up to their first round potential it would probably be a year like this.
especially udeze and williamson so i wouldnt be surprised if we won our division.
alot rides on another young guy in tjack.
if he can keep games under control i see the bears going down.

If Udeze or Williamson step up to the plate we can become contenders in the NFC North. If all five of those mentioned here can play at the ability many thought when they came out of college, then we could become NFC North Champs and in the week NFC has some buzz heading into the playoffs.
Personally ... I think all five of these guys will step up to the plate, maybe not any pro bowlers this year, but five solid contributors and I think that 9-7 or 10-6 and a playoff berth is a possiblity ... of course we could get production from them and still end up 6-10 ... and that is what makes this team so nerve-wracking.

I like that history on the teams that went from bad to good. It is fun to think about the possibilities! Obviously every team has hard times because of injuries, but that is a large amount of YOUNG talent that could be a solid foundation for years to come if the boys can stay healthy.

Troy can be good he just needs to calm down imo

there's a lot of IF's in there..

but i like the chances and odds we have in this..

lets let those kids step up and show they belong in the pro-bowl!!

and if we can pull out a winning.. and dominating season.. we'll have a dynasty on our hands!@!
