Hey, didn’t the Bears win the last time they came into Seattle “cough” back in 2009 “cough” despite all of the crowd noise? I think it was Jay Cutler’s first time ever playing in Seattle? I was a little pissed off when Bennett passed on the Bears to stay with the Seahawks. The Bears defensive line was just plain awful last year and an upgrade was needed. Bennett seemed like a good fit especially having his brother Martellus already on the Bears. I don’t know why we thought just because his brother was on the team that he would come to the Bears. Luckily, Bears fans got a break and ended up with two much better choices at defensive end with Jared Allen and Lamarr Houston.

I was going to preface with, “How do you expect to contain the NFL’s number two offense from last season?”, but then I remembered what the Seahawks did to the number one scoring offense in the Super Bowl. So….never mind. I do remember that Brandon Marshall was giving fits to Richard Sherman in 2012 when he caught 10 passes for 165 yards. How do you expect the Legion of Boom to contain Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery and Martellus Bennett on Friday?

"Are we really talking about last decade? Haha, that’s pretty rich. No seriously yeah that happened, then the Hawks got a good coach and team… what happened the last 2 times the Seahawks played in Chicago? I mean I hate to bring up bad memories, but… I’m not sure I expect much from the big 2 of Chi-town on Friday. This secondary is just so much better than they were at that time and I’m not sure Marshall can get any better. Plus in the preseason they won’t play the full game so maybe 5 or 6 catches from Marshall and a few from Jeffery? Not a knock, just my thoughts. The No. 2 offense simply won’t be that against Seattle this week. After what I saw from “First name Russell, last name Wilson” last week, the Bears defense better get itself ready. I just hope Chicago fans aren’t looking for too much to go off of this week. Might be a long night."
