BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- Bears Pro Bowl offensive lineman Kyle Long is unhappy that seemingly few people outside the organization believe the team is a legitimate playoff contender.Im not thinking about it, Long said. I know the teams not thinking about it. I know that its not guiding our decision-making throughout the day, I will say that. But I will also say that we are aware of the fact that theres kind of a league-wide disrespect on the Chicago Bears. I know that were not very appreciative of it, and were looking forward to getting after it.The publics reluctance to embrace the Bears stems from their inability to qualify for the postseason. The Bears, who went 6-10 in 2015, have failed to reach the playoffs in eight of the past nine years. In fact, the Bears have made the postseason only five times since 1992.However, coach John Fox is known for quick turnarounds.The Carolina Panthers improved from 7-9 to 11-5 in Foxs second year in Charlottee, even earning a trip to Super Bowl XXXVIII, where they lost to the New England Patriots.

And after moving to Denver?in 2011, Foxs team went from 8-8 to 13-3 in the span of just one season.Can Fox work similar magic in Chicago?I think its like the first year of anything, whether its your job, my job, a players job, Fox said. Its like when I was a kid and wed go on a trip and it seemed a whole lot longer on the way there than it did coming home. And the reason is that youve seen it before, youve been there before. So I think thats its just kind of human development. We added Jake Delhomme in Carolina and made a big jump. Granted, we added Peyton Manning [in Denver]. But to me, we added a bunch of players. Its not just the quarterback. I think weve done similar things here, and well see where it takes us. ' ' '
