Chicago Bears 2007 Season Preview

The Chicago Bears is a professional American Football team, which is a charter-member of the National Football League and has taken part in all of the league's 87 seasons. During this long period they have raised a great many professional American football sportsmen. The Bears have won 8 NFL Championships and one Super Bowl. The Chicago Bears is also known for having more victories than any other team with 686, and has the greatest number of members in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

With the current coach Lovie Smith, the franchise had an astonishing degree of success. With Lovie Smith the Bears acquired a cumulative record of 31 and 21, which contains 2 playoff victories as well as 2 playoff losses.

It was strange but this year the Chicago Bears were thinking over the possibility of extending the contract with Lovie Smith for a long time and eventually the authorities of the team have arrived at the decision to resign Lovie Smith for another 4 years. The price of the contract $22 million, which is not bad.

The outstanding team of the Chicago Bears will most probably face a severe battle when the current 2007 season starts. The franchise which made the way to Super Bowl XLI had several problems with the structure of the personnel. LB Lance Briggs has just had an agreement controversy and said he intended to sit out until week 10. However, he has lately agreed to the conditions and the team can eventually start working. Thomas Jones went to play for the New York Jets, while Tank Johnson was cut back because of non-football problems.
