Hope springs eternal when the new seasons begin. The Chicago Bears are undefeated and the plan by many, even though unrealistic in the main theme, is to stay undefeated. The Bears will lose this season. It is nearly a guarantee. The aim is to win more than lose and to qualify for the playoffs.

Nonetheless many teams have changed directions, negatively and/or positively following preseason games. We should look for small signs, surprise players an good health from the players. The first-regular season game will be the most revealing and that game will be at home against the Green Bay Packers in a North Division game, 3:25 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 10 and on FOX television. Can the team maintain an aura of possibility and positivity?
