Loved this season and watching this team. They fought and fought and fought. They're building something special, but it'll have to be continued next season.
Note of gratitude to all the Bears fans on here as well. Was a pleasure following this season along with you all.

Interesting interview from a fantastic guitarist, saw him a few years ago at a small club outside of Chicago. www.guitarworld.com/features/mar...
