Just two seasons ago, the Chicago Bears were on top of the NFC North division, but that seems like decades ago. Besides their on-field slide, the Bears are encountering a number of problems surrounding contracts and legal matters. | |||

It must be tough being a Bears fan. Recently being the top dog of the NFC North, the Bears became the last-place team in the division within the span of one season. And, while the Vikings, Packers and Lions have all taken strides to improve themselves, the Bears appear to be the only team in the division going in the opposite direction. As bad as things have been on the field, it doesn’t look as though things are getting better. If anything, they are getting worse. Consider the following: Say what you want about the Vikings being on the right side of the arc as it pertains to being a team on the rise. The Packers nearly reached the pinnacle last year and Detroit found a way to avoid losing 10 games for the first time in a long time. Now it’s the Bears’ turn to be under the microscope. From this vantage point, it looks as though it may be some time before they contend for the division title again, giving hope to fans from Minnesota, Green Bay and Detroit that 2008 might be their year. |
