I'm not surprised. We have done nothing substantial to bolster the talent.
What we have done that the media does not see: Got rid of Martz, traded for Marshall, drafted Jeffrey, identified remdies to enhance our weakenesses, have a full offseason to work and got Williams and Carimi back.
That being said, my confidence is iffy due to the following reasons: Tice has given me no reason to have faith in him yet and Williams and Carimi have not proven they can stay on the field. The things I like are continuity, Martz is gone, Marshall will be a huge bailout and eternal hope as a Bears fan.
