We have a couple holes to plug before we can crown ourselves - even if the Bears are imploding and the Vikings not doing much, the Lions will be a legit threat again this year, as they did some work in FA.

Did we pick up any better secondary? Because good gods that always made me cry last year.

The Lions will take a wide receiver or tight end.

The Packers will take some Pac-12 lineman.

The Vikings will take nobody, because they traded for Sam Bradford.

The Bears will screw it all up.

Am I missing anything?

I'd say some Pac-12 DB for the pack, but pretty much on the nose.

You'd think after what happened with Kansas, going scorched earth on taxes would be a poison pill.

Also, tolls on federal roads* (which makes up a vast majority of the major roads going into the state, especially in the west where the Mississippi makes up the border) require federal approval first, except with bridges! Chicago and IL DOT figured out that with bridges, you can have an effectively infinite length approach to it, as long as there's no exits on the approach.

And thus they exploited the loophole to give us the Chicago Skyway. But I digress.

*I could be wrong and this only applies to the Interstates

Friendly reminder that the CEO of WSOR (who would likely have to have the trains on their line) got in trouble for illegal donations in 2010.

Honestly, from what I saw, I think Glennon did ok. Nothing spectacular, but his receivers literally and figuratively dropped the ball at the end.

I'll take a Bears loss though anyway.
