Tomorrow night is the most important meaningless game of the summer, the "dress rehearsal" third preseason game. With the Bears' injury woes, defensive concerns and poor play seen in the third game last summer, is it all right to panic?
Let's get honest with ourselves: The preseason is for overreaction. It's so easy to look at a player, a few quarters of action or a situation and paint it with a "the sky is falling" or a "the road to the Super Bowl is running through Stadium X" brush.
Bears fans who have been around the last 15 years or so now what I'm talking about when we got hyped for players such as Caleb Hanie, Mike Hass, Brandon Rideau and Marcus Freeman.
