Well, then why can't anyone here address the points I made about the Bears.

The Bears just aren't going to go 8-8 because of those points. The Bears have a damn good defense, especially LBs, but no one but diehard Bears fans are going to predict any wins besides SF.

And it's funny you are telling me to be realistic when you say the Bears are going to be 1-15.

I'm not predicting 1-15. I'm just saying you can't count wins against any other teams. They will win more than one game, but you really can't say which games.

I'd be happy to witness this bet...

NICE BACKTRACK

You could say the same for just about the entire NFL, except for maybe a few teams.

hence the cliches... parity... any given sunday... etc...

I think the bears will win more than 1 game in our division. It could be as many as 3. Detroit does suck and Green Bay is one injury away from really sucking.
Minnesota doesn't suck but that doesn't mean the bears can't beat them. If I remember correctly the Bears beat them last year.

Bears will be somewhere between 4-12 and 7-9. Any number above 7-9 is delusional.

[rah]

Call me delusional. But that's normal for a Chicago fan.
I'll predict 9-7 so people have something to put into their signatures next year if I'm wrong.

[Sava]

7-8, 8-8 sounds about right...

5-11, 6-10 if there are injuries and things go downhill...

9-7, 10-6 if everyone stays healthy and we get lucky!

but talk of 4-12 and 3-13 is pure stupidity...

[Jaguar]

Oh, and the 49ers and Browns are almost certainly worse than the Bears in my book. The Bears have a fairly good chance of being 3rd in the division, because I think at least one of Detroit and Green Bay won't hold it together.

I said they could concievably go 6-10. But you'll say they'll go 8-8. Why don't we have it between 4-12 and 8-8 (ie, 6-10)? That's only fair. If 5 is the line, Detroit gets lucky in only one game, you win, but they can be 3 games worse than you said and only 1 game better than I said.

Sure. I'll take that.

5 or less wins for the Bears and you get to put a line in my sig.
6 or more and I get to put a line in your sig.

Lines in sigs stay until opening day of the 2006 NFL season.




My only question with this bet is is this line in the sig static or do we get to change the line as we see fit (up to poly rules ) for the duration of the bet? I'd be happy either way (as I'm going to win, I'd prefer to be able to change it).

Edited for clarity.

Let's predict the final standings for our teams then...

For the Bengals I'm expecting an improvement on last year with our offence potentially catching fire this year...

10-6

Um..

I said they could concievably be 6-10 and your original bet was 4 wins or less for me. So all you offered was one more win... not exactly half now.

6 or less for me
7 or more for you

[rah]

I'll have to remember to note this thread so we can check back.

Bengals 10-6, and I thought i was drinking the coolaid

I'll stand by my Bears 9-7 predicition (and hope it's better, chug chug chug)

[Donegeal]

Sure. No problem. Deal.

Donegeal goes off to think of the wonderful things he can put in Irmans sig.

He then runs right back.

What about the line being static or changing?

Sounds like we're drinking that coolaid together...

Bring it on!

[Imran Siddiqui]

Changing the sig line is too much trouble than its worth.
