Comparisons and the highest of expectations definitely don't dissuade Bears safety Eddie Jackson. The All-Pro stood his ground on the Bears' belief that they are Super Bowl bound. And Jackson included a goal that's sure to rile some of the staunchest old school Chicago lovers, who will forever revere the 1985 Bears who won the franchise's only Super Bowl. LATEST ANALYSIS ??? Team fits for best remaining FAs ??? Ranking deepest position groups ??? NFL triplets positions: Who is No. 1? ??? NFC West primer: Camp questions ??? Rank: Can Redskins surprise? "Our goal at this time is for the defense to become No. 1 across the board," Jackson told SiriusXM NFL Radio. "Shouts from the'85 Bears, but we want to top everything they have done." While Jackson is probably speaking of surpassing the dominance these Bears exhibited en route to a one-loss season along with a one-sided Super Bowl blowout of the overmatched Patriots, it would be near impossible to top the total mystique of the storied squad. After all, the Super Bowl-shuffling Bears of 1985 had all-time greats like Walter Payton, Mike Singletary and Dan Hampton as well as all time personalities Jim McMahon, William"The Refrigerator" Perry and Steve"Mongo" McMichael -- all corralled by head coach Mike Ditka and defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan. To Jackson, who is entering only his third season, anything less than winning the final Sunday of the year will fall short of hopes. Having already prognosticated a Super Bowl berth, Jackson doubled down on those lofty words. "I'm very excited for this year, it is likely to be something unique," Jackson said. "Like I said, I stand behind what I said earlier in the year. We plan on taking this whole thingwe plan on winning the Super Bowl." Somewhat surprisingly, Jackson and Co. appear to be looking far ahead even though last season's NFC Wild Card loss to the Philadelphia Eagles through the infamous"double doink" miss by kicker Cody Parkey still has them looking back. "We've got everything to prove. We went far last year, but we came up short," Jackson said. "That is the fuel to our fire at this time. That keeps us going. Everyone seen and felt how great this group was past year. And now everyone sees that it's even better this season with the new faces the brand new coaches and just to find that everyone's on board. We had 100 percent OTA attendance" All the predictions of prevailing in the largest of big games and all of the fuel which still burns from last season's letdown aside, perfect presence is pretty damn remarkable. Jackson's talking big and is obviously confident, but showing up and putting in the job is the very first step and obviously exactly what the security and the remainder of the Bears are doing. After the season kicks off, the work they are doing now is very likely to talk louder than whatever they're predicting.
