Chicago Bears' preseason schedule released - ESPN Chicago

Week 3 should be interesting. The game the starters play the most. VS Seattle.
Should get a feel for our new D in week 1. VS Philly.

Yeah, I was looking at the schedule thinking that the Seattle game should be a good measuring stick for the Bears.

Meh… don't get me wrong. I'll be excited for the pre-season, just because it's Bears football.

However, the pre-season has never really been a good measuring stick for anything. It's pretty much proven that there's no correlation with how the regular season plays out.

I just hope the Philly game is on a Saturday night.

I understand that. I just want to see the DLine play, especially that third game against Seattle.

While I agree with the overall sentiment, I was at the Chicago v Charlotte pre season game last year, sat on the 50 about 15 rows up. I got a real good sense about Long just in that one game. Couple of series were right in my grill and you could see Long just stand up DT's and hold them at the line. They wouldn't budge an inch, no matter how hard they tried. This was the first indicator that Emery did well with that pick, a pick no one expected from our Bears, at least for me.


So to me, there is value in the pre season even if the games are completely meaningless.

I just can't figure out how a fan of the game can't get excited over preseason.
While I agree the out come of those games is meaningless, there's so much to watch.
1rst of all football is back and games are being played.
Then there are all the new guys wearing a Bears uni for the 1rst time. Your first chance to see if they can play or not. Don't tell a bubble guy the preseason is meaningless.
I can't wait to see how all the new D guys play together. And how our 3rd LB spot sorts itself out.
Who's going to BU who. Will Wilson win the 3rd wr spot, or does Chris Williams emerge?
All this gets sorted out in the preseason (and mini camps). Reason enough for me to get excited.
